TWO WEEKS BEFORE WEDDING DAY

*James Pov*

"You don't give it a rest, do you?" he stared at me with a determined look not budging at all no matter how much I am trying to stop him.

I was done with my treatment, but this man stopped me from leaving and now trying to raise my temper, no matter how much I am trying to calm down. It's been half an hour, but he is still continuing with this discussion, even after listening to my decision.

"I am not joking, James." He warned without any hesitation.

"You were behind me all this time to have a proper therapy and just when I started doing that, you came up with another thing." I pointed out tightening my grip on the chair.

"You are talking as if I will benefit from all this. Therapy was for you and this operation will also be for you." He pointed back.

"She was working hard all this time and she finally found the expert and a way to increase..." I cut him off raising my hand.

"So, I get to live more. Then? Should I really increase my time living like this?" I asked gesturing to my legs.

"You will at least be alive for more time." He slammed his hand on the table.

"I already told your wife to not look for any options. Now, as this whole discussion is nothing but a waste of my time. I will just leave this place." I turned the chair to leave, but his next words stopped me.

"I will tell your family everything if you are not going to make a sensible decision." I closed my eyes, hearing his words and turned to stare at him directly.

"Don't forget that you are still my doctor and you need to respect your patient wishes more than anything." I stated but he just shook his head.

"As a doctor I need to meet your guardian and talk with that person regarding this sensitive issue. But do you have one? Then I need not tell anyone about all this to get permission." He is back to that point again.

I don't know what to tell him anymore. He recently stopped talking about guardian issue and any other topic when I started to get therapy normally, but now he is back to that.

"The therapy I am going through is enough for me." Saying that I again tried to leave, but stopped hearing a knock on the door after which she entered the cabin.

"You called for me, Chief?" she asked, clearing her throat, not even realizing I am present along with him.

He gave her a nod before starting to explain regarding the surgery while she calmly listened to everything without saying a single word.

"What do you think, Dr. Palak? He should go through it, right?" he asked leaning forward.

"You should talk to him about it tomorrow, Chief." She mumbled sighing and he gave her a shocked look hearing her words.

"I just did and he is not accepting it." He said, gesturing me and she immediately turned to stare at me with a shocked look.

"Oh! Uhmm... maybe you should talk to his family?" she mumbled, turning back to stare at him.

"Even I was thinking the same." He nodded with a smile.

"I am still here and no one can drag me to the operation theatre." I stated making both of them to glance at me.

"But your family can. Isn't it right, Dr. Palak?" he asked, glancing at her while she just nodded without any hesitation making me frown.

"I will take my leave if there is nothing else to discuss, Chief." Saying that she left the cabin while he too frowned at her this time.
