Andrian looked at her and chuckled, softly. He swore he could see her chocolate browns eyes sparkle at him. That usually mean she was happy. He shook his head and sat down next to her. Who was he kidding, it was probably only his imagination. He watched her carefully, with worries in his eyes are he watched Sophia started coughing again. Andrian looked away from her and chuckled, shaking his head with disbelief with what he heard. 'Your not okay, you need to get medical attention,' he spoke, his voice worried. But he couldn't blame her, he knew her. She always put others first instead of her but this time he wanted her to put herself in the line first. Just this one time.
He lost Nikki and he wasn't gonna lose Sophia. He placed his hand on his necklace it was a special Japanese coin that Nikki had given him. Andrian remembered what she told him that day. 'Don't forget me,' she said. And of course he promised her, that he wouldn't. Ever since Nikki passed away he made another promise. That he was gonna look after everyone he loved and be there for them especially Sophia. He couldn't bear to lose her as well. He didn't know how much he could take.
Then he heard Sophia begin to speak again and listen closely and when she finished he looked at her and started considering her words. He knew nothing he could say could convince her to leave her patient to get help herself and suddenly he had an idea and started to speak. 'How you keep treating your patient,' he paused for dramatic effect. 'But!' he continued. 'We'll keep it at minimum, you can treat only a few patient until you get better,' he said. 'And you can come to my office and i'll treat you, deal?' he said, waited patiently for her. 'I'm sure some of your patient can manage without you,' he added quickly. 'Let me do this, i wanna make this right for the first time,' he said. 'I know i haven't been here for you lately and i've been shutting you out lately,' taking in the words she mentioned earlier. 'I haven't been myself lately ever since Nikki died, but i'm here now, I wanna help,' he said, taking a huge breath after he finished.
