Ashton patted my hand in consolation. “To consult a doctor. Just chat with the doctor later and try not to overthink things. Just answer whatever the doctor asks, okay?”
I nodded, but a feeling of suffocation assailed me in this cramped space.
About ten minutes later, an elderly man in a white coat walked in. He looked like he was in his sixties.
Glancing at Ashton, the elderly man flashed him a faint smile and inclined his head a fraction in greeting. Subsequently, his gaze alighted on me.
Shortly after, a few seconds at most, he turned his gaze on Ashton. He said nothing pertinent, merely questioning mildly, “Are you staying, Ashton?”
Ashton nodded.
At this, the doctor pursed his lips and cocked an eyebrow though he didn’t comment further on this matter.
He glanced at the document in his hand before focusing his gaze on me. “How’s your sleep recently?” he asked.
“Not bad,” I answered. Inwardly, however, I was already feeling a tad irritable – for I hated such a cramped space and chatting as though I was being interrogated.
