C10 Doctor Robert (2).

" What is going on?" I wondered in absolute shock. This was obviously not the Doctor Robert I know. This man looks older and his face has wrinkles and he has an half bald hair with the sides covered in grey hairs.

' Maybe the nurse made a mistake and went to get you another Doctor Robert?' My subconscious suggested and I nodded agreeing to her words.

' Maybe!'

" Excuse me young lady" The old man called and I raised up my head to look at him.

" Yes?" I answered.

" Is everything alright?" He asked and I nodded.

" Of course , why do you ask?" I threw back a question at him.

" Well,I read your file before coming here since I am actually in charge of you but I got an accident. A minor one actually and another doctor was assigned to you" He began explaining and I started to feel somehow confused like something was not right.

" He was originally the doctor in charge of me?" I wondered.

" Then who was the doctor taking care of me before his arrival?" I wondered.

" Oh Dummy!" My subconscious scolded. " He just explained that another doctor was placed in charge of you since he had a minor injury and could not resume" My subconscious added and I muttered an " Oh".

' So two Doctor Robert were assigned to me' I thought and giggled while the old Doctor threw me a strange look probably wondering if I was alright.

" It is reported in your file you committed suicide" He said and I frowned instantly. Being reminded of my act of Stupidity was bringing back foul memories.

" If you do not mind me asking Child, why did you do so?" He asked and I felt fatigue take over me instantly. I already told the Nice My story and felt too lazy and uncomfortable to share it with this stern looking old man so I just yawned to which he threw me a glare.

" That is so disrespectful of you Young lady" He scolded and I rolled my eyes mentally wondering.

' What is with this man and respect?' I thought.

" He must be some kind of Respect Master" My subconscious made mockery of him and I fought back the urge to laugh before he hangs my head in the next few seconds for disrespecting him again.

" My apologies Dr. Robert" I called weirdly because he sounded weird calling him that. At least to my hearing.

' By the way, where was the nice doctor?' I wondered. ' Was he not on duty today?'.

" So now, answer my question" He said and I pretended to be confused just to avoid answering.

" Which exactly?" I asked faking a confused expression.

He threw me a blank look which I despise so much because it just made me unable to read him making me clueless to know whether he believed my lie or not.

" Why did you try to commit Suicide Young lady?" He reminded.

" I already told the other doctor who was placed in charge of me" I told him the truth and he mouthed an " Oh".

" Doctor Jeff" He added and my eyebrows immediately scrunched up in Confusion.

" Doctor Jeff?" I called out again wondering who he was and he nodded.

" Yes Doctor Jeff" He answered.

" Who is he?" I asked and the old Doctor frowned.

" Young lady" He called sternly. " Are you trying to play games with me?" He asked.

" Of course not,why would I ?" I threw back the question at him.

" Well it's obvious, you yourself told me you told Doctor Jeff why you committed suicide and now you are asking who he is?" He said but more like asking towards me and I widened my eyes at such accusation.

" I never said that,I do not even know the man" I denied and he threw me a stern look.

" Stop trying to okay games with me Young lady" He warned and I gulped not because I was scared of him but because I did not like where this was going.

" I am not" I denied. " My exact words was I already told the doctor who was placed in charge of me not some Doctor Jeff I do not even know" I reminded him and he threw me a look of " Are you insane girl" or so I guessed.

" Same thing" He replied.

" How?" I asked because both doctors were entirely two different Doctors unless if he was known as Doctor Jeff to them which I doubt he will be because it's the name " Doctor Robert" that was on his coat.

' Or did I not see well?: I wondered.

" Doctor Jeff was the one placed in charge of you yesterday or did you not know" Doctor Robert answered and I grew even more confused.

" The name on the Doctor's badge who attended to me yesterday is Doctor Robert" I answered and he instantly gave a deep kinda scary frown.

" Impossible" He said but I held his gaze proving to him I was not lying.

" And why is that?" I asked.

" Because I am the only Doctor Robert in this hospital" He replied and I shrugged.

" Well maybe by name and not just badges" I replied and he shook his head sideways meaning no.

" Not just by name but by badges also" He added and this time it was my turn to frown.

' What did he mean by that?'

" Are you trying to see I spoke with a ghost yesterday or what?" I asked him not believing a word he was saying.

" Not a ghost but could be an imposter who took advantage of my absence" He replied and I chuckle.

" Do you have an enemy Doctor Robert and why would your enemy chose to impersonate you and come to me?" I asked and also wondered for it makes no sense to me.

" Please do me a favor and describe this guy to me" He said instead ignoring my question.

I took a deep breath and answered.

" He is a man in his forties or fifties. He has a white short bread, Hazel eyes with a fully, relaxed and caring face." I described him as best as I could and Doctor Robert went silent instantly for some minutes and when I could not bear it anymore, I asked.

" What is it?"

" There is no doctor here with such description" He answered and I gasped.

" That is not possible" I said.

" It is, which means the doctor you confided in yesterday is an imposter" He added and I felt myself go blank.

" Hold on,let me ask the guards to check the surveillance cameras. Wr might be able to catch him" He said and dashed out leaving me stunned.

' I confided in an unknown imposter who could be a serial killer,thief or even worst"

" What could be worst?" my subconscious asked.

" There are worst" I thought as I made to lie down on my bed and felt something underneath my blanket. I instantly raised it up and found a white envelope.
