She only knew that the patient was a woman.
She found herself in front of the VIP ward. She gulped before holding the doorknob and pushed it. She went inside and found her patient eating fresh grapes while watching a new tv show. Her patient was even humming while eating and having a good time.
She froze when she saw and recognized her patient. She holds the patient record tightly. She was surprised that her patient was not a woman.
It has been a year since she last saw that face. She never heard his voice and heard anything from him. Even though that person was always on the topic in the business section at the newspaper was reported by the media using the internet and TV, Luna does not have any time to scroll her phone, watch tv or read the newspaper.
“Maximus?” She asked. She did not expect that Maximus Frost was that very important friend of the Lucas family. She suddenly remembered what Maximus told her before about being friends with Shawn. Why did she forget about that?
“Long time no see, Luna. I was waiting for you. Did you miss me?” Maximus grinned mischievously.
Tears almost came out of Luna’s eyes.
“Mmm”, she nodded slowly and smiled.
Luna looked at the man who was staring back at her. They finally meet again, and she felt so much happiness just by watching him smiling at her. She really thought that Maximus has forgotten her as Shawn did but he did not.
She then remembered his text message that was sent one year ago.
Ok, I will not force you anymore but if the time comes, that we are both ready, I will pursue you.
Luna turned around and wiped her tears as nothing happened, then faced him again.
“What are you doing here?” Luna asked, then raised her left brow. She did not expect to see Maximus at the Hospital.
After a year, she finally saw Maximus, but not in good condition.
“Based on your expression at this moment, it seems that you do not want to see me. Besides, you are a doctor, right? You should know the reason why people went to the hospital” Maximus said disappointedly. He wanted to surprise her, but instead, he was the one who was surprised because of Luna’s reaction.
Maximus did not change his personality, even the way he talks. He is still the man she knew before. The only change she had noticed was he became more manly and handsome. He even changes his hairstyle. He surpassed his old physical self.
“N-no, it is because I thought my patient was a woman. Doctor Reyes said my patient was a woman” Luna explained while still confused about this matter.
“If I tell my personal information, the killer will probably know that I was here and if you know that it was me, you will reject me for the second time. You will ask Doctor Reyes to assign another doctor for me, right?” Maximus said seriously.
Luna was speechless. She had no idea what to respond to him.
It is true that if Maximus used his true information, a bunch of reporters will be after him. It will get the attention of the killer. The killer might go to Maximus’s ward to kill him again if that happened… but the thing that she did not understand is why Maximus thinks that she will reject him again and will ask somebody to take care of him?
“What do you mean rejecting you again? Did you perhaps— Luna did not finish her words when Maximus interrupted her.
“Yes, I still want you to achieve the things that I promised to you, Luna. Have you forgotten about it already?” Maximus continued then took a sip of his coffee. Until now, what he only wants is Luna.
“I-is that so? Why did you choose me? There are a lot of great doctors here.” Luna tried to ignore what Maximus said by changing the topic so suddenly. Somehow deep in her heart, she was happy. She really thought that Maximus already forgot about her but now he was here in front of her looking better and more handsome than their first meeting.
Maximus put down his cup of coffee and rolled his eyes over Luna because she still did not understand him after he explained. Maybe because Luna felt overwhelmed after seeing him after so long.
“You are lucky that I have long patience just for you. I choose you because I trust you more than the greatest doctors and nurses here and I wanted to see you. Is that enough or do you want me to prove it?” He looked at Luna straight into her eyes.
Luna felt her heartbeat fast, then she nodded with a confused face. It’s been a long time since someone said something like that, especially the “trust thing”.
Maximus did not change… he never really did.
She just stared at him, wondering why Maximus always made her feel important.
“Hey, stop daydreaming about me and start your job” Maximus snapped her.
“Huh? I am not! By the way, I thought you are a good fighter. Why did you get yourself injured?” Luna jolted and made a serious face.
“Too many to handle”, he moves his head sideward and blushes.
Luna smiled. Maximus then looked at her again.
“By the way, the reason why I’m here is that I am not ready and too busy to deal with them, so I did not bring my gun with me. If I had my gun with me that time, they were already in their casket”
Luna was surprised when he heard him having a gun.
“You… you own a gun, and you know how to shoot?” She asked.
“Yes.”
“You look interested,”
“I-it just that I thought only policemen can bring a gun” Luna avoids looking at her and starts checking him like a normal doctor to her patient.
“I am a Frost, nothing is impossible,”
She started taking care of Maximus the whole day. Maximus never allowed her to leave on his side by asking too many questions or demanding something, even non-related to his condition like Luna’s personal life.
“Seriously, you are asking too much. You asked me such questions beyond my knowledge about such things. You even asked me about business. At least, let me have a break and stop asking about my personal information” Luna started to protest when she thought that Maximus asked her too much.
Maximus never getting tired of being interested in her.
