Diary of Fragile Heart Part 13
Gladwin had already parked his car in the orphanage parking lot. He looked for Flavia's known car but didn't find it. Was Flavia not coming? Was the girl avoiding him again? He wondered to himself. Gladwin increasingly realized that avoiding him was now Flavia's specialty. This conclusion was not made without reason because it became clearer day by day that Flavia was deliberately avoiding him, especially yesterday. Flavia refused to be in the same car with him, refused to be in the same room with him. And Gladwin was sure that if he had picked her up at her house, she would have refused his offer to go together with various excuses. Gladwin tapped his fingers on the steering wheel. His heart felt conflicted. On one hand, Gladwin was clearly unwilling if Flavia avoided him. But on the other hand, he felt that he didn't need to go through the trouble of finding ways to avoid the girl as he had been trying to do. For ten minutes, Gladwin wrestled with his own thoughts until he final

They had just finished their routine event at the orphanage, and Eijaz was driving while Flavia sat casually beside the steering wheel. Eijaz intended to invite her to dinner, and Flavia agreed.Flavia looked at the man beside her, Eijaz Dominic, also known as Dr. Eijaz. A tall man with tan skin and thick, shiny black hair, he had a handsome face. His smile was always warm, and his voice was calming. His demeanor was nurturing, and his attention?Flavia had known him for five years. Let's skip the details of their first meeting. The next day, she was reintroduced to him, revealing that he was the son of her father's acquaintance, a businessman who chose to become a doctor instead of continuing the family business.Eijaz was extremely, even excessively, polite. He always spoke politely but didn't hesitate to be sharp if Flavia made a mistake. Everyone assumed they were a couple, but in reality, only Flavia and Eijaz knew the truth.Eijaz had expressed his feelings to Flavia about his l

"Well, you could say yes. You could also say no. I'm not sure how to put it. It's about Gilbert." Gilbert? Flavia still furrowed her brow at Abigail. "Why with Gilbert?" "He's here." This time Flavia was stunned. "Gilbert? Here? With Haisley?" "Ugh... Why bring up Haisley. Haisley is definitely in England with Nathan." "And then?" "Gilbert is here. Turns out, he's a photographer now," Abigail answered with an annoyed sigh. "Really?" Flavia smiled, seeing her friend's annoyed expression. Gilbert was the brother-in-law of their friend, Haisley. He was the guy who had once confessed to liking Flavia. It wasn't a love triangle, but Abigail considered it as such. Meanwhile, Flavia saw it as a strange form of love. Abigail, despite not wanting to admit it, clearly liked Gilbert. While Gilbert claimed to like Flavia, Flavia didn't reciprocate his feelings because, even though she didn't have another man she liked, she couldn't accept Gilbert due to their differences in beliefs.

The hospital has its distinctive smell; that's what's on Gladwin's mind. And those smells have lingered long enough in his head. In the early days of his practice, all those scents made him feel dizzy, but now, because he's accustomed to them, all those smells have become ordinary.The hospital's dedicated phone rings. There's a special message. Gladwin reads the message and immediately leaves his desk. The teakwood door with a natural brown color, labeled 'Director,' is in front of him. He knocks twice until he gets permission to enter. He opens it and sees several fellow doctors with morning schedules like his gathered inside the room."Doctor Hampton, please come in." The heavy and friendly voice of Doctor Hamid welcomes him. "Well, now that it seems everyone on morning duty is here, let me introduce. Doctors, all of you, staff members as well. As discussed earlier, we'll have a new doctor in this hospital. So let me introduce to all of y

"In a relationship, you should complement each other. If one is passive, the other should be active." He says before getting out of the car with an annoyed expression, followed by Phoebe.Jonas, who was waiting for Abigail to exit, seems to muster the courage to ask. "Abby, is something wrong?" Jonas looks at Abigail, puzzled. Abigail looks back at him with a warm smile."According to you?" Abigail asks back. "Okay, I feel like there's no need to be too formal." Abigail continues casually. Seeing Jonas's indifferent expression, it seems he doesn't mind either. "I know we can't be considered close, but I'll need your help in the future. Considering you seem to be able to assess situations quickly, like just now. Will you help me?" Abigail looks at him hopefully.The idea actually came out spontaneously, and Abigail wasn't expecting a hundred percent 'yes' from Jonas. After all, they just met, and they're not too 'close' t

Flavia was copying the records into the computer when Abigail entered with her beaming smile. Earlier, after lunch, Abigail had returned the favor by driving Gladwin, Phoebe, and Jonas to the hospital, citing responsibility as the reason. However, Eijaz had generously invited the three guests to return to the hospital with him."Why are you back? I thought you were heading home," Flavia asked, and Abigail responded with a shrug before sitting on the long sofa across from Flavia. "Don't you have other work?""None. I'm free. Just finished reloading my ammo," Abigail replied casually, choosing to focus on the CCTV."Gilbert?" Flavia asked again. The mention of 'ammo' indirectly reminded her of their previous conversation about Gilbert, who was a photographer working with Abigail.Abigail paused for a moment before turning to look at Flavia with a puzzled expression. "Why bring up Gilbert?""You mentioned reloading ammo. Automatically, my mind goes back to Gilbert," Flavia answered nonch

"If that's the case, when does he plan to stay single? Will he wait until he's forty? Your child is almost three. How come he doesn't have one yet? It's fine if he has a child right after marriage, but what if he doesn't? What if he ends up like your elder brother, having a child after five years of marriage? I might be called by God earlier." Julie Hampton responded, still annoyed."Don't talk like that. Mom herself told me that fate is already arranged. Why is Mom being pessimistic now? Gladwin might be waiting for the right time to introduce his girlfriend to us.""Yeah, if there's one. What if there isn't?" Her mother continued to frown. "Yesterday, I tried to set him up with one of my friend's daughters, but his reaction was flat.""Who did you try to match Gladwin with?" Claire asked, but Flavia secretly listened."Phoebe. I tried to match him with Phoebe."Julie's words made the two women of different generations in front of her fall silent. "Isn't Phoebe a widow? And she alrea

Gladwin stood frozen. Suddenly, Phoebe and her mother were standing in front of his room with a little girl who looked to be around four or five years old, just as Gladwin had returned from the Emergency Room."Darling, this is Uncle Gladwin," Gladwin heard the voice of Phoebe's mother, Penelope Madsen. The pretty little girl with curly black hair standing beside her extended her hand, politely introducing herself to Gladwin."Sorry, Gladwin. My mom came here for Gisel's immunization, and she kept asking about you. She said she wanted to greet you out of courtesy, even though I've forbidden her and told her I would ask the staff if I didn't bring her here," Phoebe said with a guilty expression that Gladwin knew was just an act."How are you, Mrs. Madsen?" Gladwin politely greeted the woman, who was of the same age as his own mother."Don't be so formal, just call me Penny. Phoebe's friends usually call me that," the woman said with a coaxing tone.Gladwin frowned inwardly. Back when h
