Marie stayed silent. What could I possibly think? She never wanted to go through that kind of ordeal again. When she didn’t answer, the doctor turned toward Derrick.

Derrick glanced at Marie, then made the call. “Order the test.”

“Huh? You-” Marie immediately protested.

Who was the one who’d said on the way here that my opinion would be respected? She knew it–coming to the hospital was never simple with him!

Derrick looked at her fuming little face. “Come on, it’s not like that; your condition is serious.”

“Thank you, doctor,” Derrick said with a nod.

Then he took Marie’s hand. “Come on, let’s get the tests done first.”
