AngelDoll_ Thanks for your votes!

Wow, today is really very hectic in the hospital. ER is bustling with a lot of patients.

Thank god, the duty there is over for today. I have to just check with Alex, then I can leave for today.

"Maria, can I have the patient chart of Alex?"

She hands it over to me, reading it, I enter the room.

When I look up, I thought it would be only us both. But there is James, didn't he come here like an hour back. Woah, there is something for sure between them.

But there is someone else to, "Hello doc, Emma right?"

"Yes mister?"

"Oh where are my manners, I am George, George Walls. I am a good friend of your Dad. We have met a couple of times too."

Sudden color reaches my face, cause I have no idea who he is. I mean, this is not the first time. But surely every single time it gets awkward.

I nod my head and smile, "Yes, Mr.Walls, I am his doctor. So Alex, how are you feeling?"

I turn to him, the first thing I notice about him is that he is very uncomfortable. And he looks around and then replies, "I am feeling good doctor, I mean Emma."

"That's great." I say back, but my eyes go up to James, who is awfully silent. He is just standing next to the bed side.

I start doing my regular checking of his vitals. I get interrupted by Mr. Walls, "So Emma, you and James are getting married in like what, two weeks I guess?"

All the time he was asking the question, his eyes was more fixed on James. But James, is having is static expression.

Though he is doing absolutely nothing, but he just seems to be holding himself pretty good. There is surely air of superiority over him.

Before I could reply, "Yes George, we are going to. I think you should have gotten the invitation by now." James says.

What invitations? When did that happen?
I look up at James, but he simply ignores me and stands there casually.

I looked down to Alex, he seems to be upset by his comment. What's going on James mind? He came here to check up on Alex. And now in front of him he is talking about marrying someone.

Small voice in my mind, says, "Its not someone, it's you Emma."

Surely I have to ask my mom, about this. I was not made aware of this. The last talk I had with them was a total disaster. But something has to be done.

Mr.Walls speaks, that's when I notice. He is somewhat around my Dad's age, maybe younger by few years. But there is something about him screams trouble.

Mr.Walls clears his throat and says, "Oh yeah! I did get it. Alex did you check my schedule and put it in there. I don't want to miss it. William would kill me." He starts laughing very loudly. When he notices no one joined him. He stops and then smiles.

Alex is his assistant. Oh my god, what's happening here? Something is up for sure.

Alex is about to say something, but James speaks.
