Can You Mend My Broken Heart?

388 A giant leap of faith - 2

"Stop all the medicines?"

Raymond asked all surprised.

"Yes, all of them. Starting from today. In fact right now."

"I do not understand."

"There is nothing to panic about it, Mr. Raymond. At a lab in New Jersey, they have developed a better and more effective substitute of all the medicines that you are taking right now. The clinical trial and FDA approval are done, but it right now not much popular as big brands aren't letting it capture the market. You know how these companies work."

"Ok, so you are going to subscribe me new substitute medicines."

"That's right."

Getting a bit suspicious, Raymond asked.

"Shouldn't Dr. OShana know about it? I mean changing medication is a big step. I thought I am here just for some tests."

This was something that Dr. Nelson wasn't prepared for. So he blabbered,

"I am going to inform her today."

"Oh, that's much better. But she might feel weird to know that I came to you for consultation."

Saying that Raymond went into deep thought, thinking about the ways in which he could convey about it to Dr. Oshana.

"Well, you can always tell that Akira forced you to come and visit me."

Raymond looked at him with a question mark on his face.

"I mean Dr. Oshana had seen me earlier with Akira at the conference. And given your condition, it's totally fine when Akira pushes you to go and visit another doctor. Shouldn't be a problem right?"

"I guess."

Raymond said and leaned back on his chair.

"Just give me a moment", and saying that Dr. Nelson pulled his phone out and texted Akira,

"We have a situation here." - Dr. Nelson

"What situation?" - Akira

"I asked him to stop all medication and he was hell-bent on informing Dr. Oshana about it. I told him that I would inform her, by myself."- Dr, Nelson

"We are in a pickle" - Akira

"I told you earlier, that this was a messy idea. You should have informed me well before about Dr. Oshana so that I could have taken care of this situation better." - Dr. Nelson

"It's ok. I will think of something." - Akira

"I think it's on my reputation now. I need to handle it myself Akira. I said yes to it so I will clear this mess in my own way. I would prefer no interference of any sort." - Dr. Nelson

"Don't do anything that I wouldn't do Jaby" - Akira

She texted him back immediately getting all worried about what he was planning to do. Because he was not going against Dr. Oshana, he was going against Sebastian.

"Just give me a day's time." - Dr. Nelson

"Okay. Please keep in touch with me and let me know what you are going to do. Call me once he leaves your hospital."- Akira

"I will" - Dr. Nelson.

Then turning towards Raymond, he said, I just texted Dr. Oshana. I will call her up once her shift is over and we will discuss it, You don't need to worry about it."

"Great !. Just wanted to have you both in sync. That's all."Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，

"Well, let's continue with the questions, shall we?"

"Yeah"

"I want you to tell me about the most powerful image that you have inside of your head."

"You are kidding with me, right? You know that I can't remember the faces of people. I have memories but, they are all faceless."

"I am very well aware of that. But I need to know about your high points of connection. Memories that are deeply bound inside of you. I don't care about the image, but I do care about memory. That is going to help me with determining the next course of action based on the strength of your memory."

Raymond leaned back on the chair and recollected all the thoughts that were swirling inside his head.

"I think, I felt the happiest when I danced with her. Akira I mean. Our first dance. When I told her I didn't know how to dance and she was teaching me like a kid. I can still feel that first touch when I placed my hands on her waist. She trembled and I felt the tremors running through her body, passing down to my skin."

Noting it down, Dr. Nelson asked,

"Anything else related to that memory? Any video or audio of the dance. Any sort of recording?"

"We didn't record it, but I still feel the beats of the music. A thousand years by Christina Perri."

"Any other strongly linked memory apart from Akira? It needs to be intense."

"Apart from her, I have only bad memories in my life. She is like the ray of hope in my life Doctor."

"I can sense that. I have met her only once but I know for sure that she loves you to the moon and back. But I need someone apart from her."

Gulping and gasping for air, Raymond said,

"It's my mother."
