Billionaire, Let's Divorce! by BELLA

Chapter 0257

As we walked, I couldn't help but notice how quiet the hospital was at this hour. The soft hum of machines and distant murmurs of conversation were the only sounds breaking the silence.

As he let us in, he gestured us to our seats and said with a smile. "Good evening."

"Good evening, doctor," Clara and I answered at the same time.

After we were seated, I dived into business straight away. "So what is the issue with her? My friend here just told me that she was admitted for tests. I moved forward closer to the table and sat at the edge of the chair, "She was just fine this morning. Is anything serious wrong with her?"

He shook his head, "It's not something to be worried about, ma'am. For now, her symptoms point at the regular common cold but it could be more so that is why we are going to conduct some tests on her to be on the safer side."

I felt Clara's empathetic squeeze on my shoulder as I listened to the doctor. Her presence was comforting, a reminder that I wasn't alone in this.

"How long will the tests take? And how long will it take to get the results?"

"The tests will commence immediately you approve it and get your signature here," his index finger softly thuded on the piece of paper on the table before him. "By tomorrow, the test results, will be ready but she would be discharged only based on what the results turn out to be but I'm highly possible that it would not be anything serious and she would be able to go home tomorrow."

"Please, proceed," I said and he slid the documents to me to sign. My hand shook slightly as I picked up the pen, the reality of the situation finally sinking in.

After I signed them, he made a phone call to his nurse to have the equipment for the tests ready. I listened intently, trying to catch any information about what tests they were planning to run.
