After the meal, Jessica dabbed her lips with a napkin before she slowly pushed her chair back to leave the table. She stood up, grabbed her tote bag and the keys to the sports car, then walked toward the door. Just as she reached it, she paused slightly and glanced at Davis, who remained at the dining table his expression impassive.
"Have a nice day," she chimed, her smile bright and dazzling.
Davis gave a slight nod. "You too." He responded with a smile tugging on his lips.
Stepping out of the house, she felt the fresh air wash over her and she inhaled deeply, greedily filling her lungs. She walked over to the car while fiddling with her phone tending to some important messages and chats after she was done, she sighed in relief. She opened the car door, and slid into the driver’s seat. Within seconds, the engine roared to life, leaving the mansion slowly and as the car joined onto the highway, its roar reverberated through the building.
Inside, Davis shook his head helplessly. He made a mental note of getting the insurance company to add an extra clause in the contract.
Ethan approached him after Jessica had left. "Are we still going?" he asked.
Davis looked at him and nodded. "You gave me the information. Do you truly believe she can do it?" He probed seriously, his gaze fixed on Ethan’s face, as if searching for any sign of doubt or deception.
Ethan nodded firmly, as he meet Davis’s sharp gaze without hesitation. "Yes," he affirmed. "She’s more than capable."
Davis studied him for a long moment before leaning back in his chair. His fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of his wheelchair, deep in thought. "Then let’s proceed as planned," he finally said. A had decided to take this step and will do his best on that.
Ethan nodded and took a step back. "I’ll have the car brought around."
As Ethan turned to leave, Davis’s gaze flickered toward the door Jessica had just walked out of. The faint echo of her car’s engine still lingered in the air.
"Jessica..." he murmured to himself, his expression unreadable.
Ethan returned to the dinning room and slowly pushed Davis to the black sleek Lamborghini at the doorstep, the driver already sitting on the wheel awaiting further instructions.
Ethan helped him into the car and quietly shut the door before boarding the passenger seat. Slowly, the car leaves Davis mansion and Davis seated at back rested his head on the headrest and closed his eyes.
~At the Central hospital ~
The red flamboyant sports car with clear precision slowly entered the underground parking lot of the hospital. Jessica alighted the car and gently shut the door before she walked around to the passenger seat, opened the door and grabbed her bag which she slung over her shoulder and made her way to the special elevator.
In a few minutes, the elevator dinged and Jessica stepped out as she walked through the hallway and stopped at the door with the name tag HOD physiotherapy. She knocked lightly and then pushed the door open as she stepped into the well furnished office.
A lively young lady spranged up from her chair and embraced her in a tight hug. She had been waiting for this visit from the day Jessica called her that she is in town and will be dropping by the hospital.
But gradually days turned into weeks. She isn’t surprised because it is clear that her identity and location has always been difficult to find out.
"Finally, you agreed to honour me with your presence", the young lady complained with a pout.
Jessica smiled lightly as she pinched her cheeks "Isn’t our doctor amazing, what else can I do for you?",she smirked.
"Sica, are you serious? When I already have so many complicating issues on my table that needed to be treated?" Bella lamented bitterly.
"What complicating issues? Isn’t Jason assisting you?" Jessica asked.
Bella averted her gaze at the mention of Jason it seems something has gone wrong between both of them. "Alright, so what’s going on?" Jessica asked as she settled down on the sofa she led her to.
"Someone with a special case is coming today for consultation and the case is as urgent as ever and as a matter of fact, they should be here any moment." She said.
"So, what can I do for you?" Jessica asked.
"I hope you can attend to them or you be with me while I attend to them", she said as she blinked her eyes repeatedly.
"I wouldn’t be around for you to attend to them but you can give me the report of medical history." Jessica suggested.
Bella was over the moon. She hurriedly pulled out a thick brown sealed envelope and handed over to Jessica who accepted it with the promise of going through it when she gets home.
They chatted about several other things and Jessica bade her farewell. As Jessica exited Bella’s office her phone dinged with a new notification "Jessy, someone is in search of the doctor Sica, do you want you location exposed?"
Jessica studied the message briefly, it is quite clear she can’t do this now. She has more important matters to address. With her decision made, she sent her reply to Richard.
The elevator at the other end dinged, Davis and Ethan entered the hallway as Jessica was typing away on her phone and after a while she stepped into the special elevator.
Ethan’s eyes widened as he pointed to the direction she took "Isn’t that madam?" He asked.
Davis had long seen the figure while she was typing away on her phone. "It seems she knew someone here." He answered lightly.
"But why is she here in the physiotherapy department and that elevator is a special elevator not accessible to other people aside a top ranking staff." He analyzed while he wheeled Davis to the HOD’s office.
"Special staff, special elevator... Not accessible to others.." Davis mused, his suspicion growing deep.
He didn’t inform Jessica about his intending visit to the hospital so he is certain she is unaware of his visit but connection did she have her that gave her access to the special elevator and why is she here?
