Imdiately after the press conference, reporter Jelly rushed to Lindon city, as fast as she could, she went to St. Catherine’s hospital in London city because her one and only boyfriend had been injured in the forest fire.
Why he did not seek treatnt closer in Blue city, she did not know.
St. Catherine’s hospital was much bigger than the morial hospital of Blue city, it was taller, larger and far more professional with a lot of research wings dealing in special dicine.
Because of it’s size, it took her a while to locate Zorl, who was not answering his phone.
Eventually after exhausting her feet with all that running around and taking three elevators to different ergency rooms all in vain, she grabbed hold of a nurse that was passing by.
"Excuse ," she said firmly.
The nurse gasped and then giggled, "Reporter Jelly, wow you are reporter Jelly." She gushed with excitent.
"You know ." Jelly responded in surprise. But then when she thought about clearly, of course it was impossible for her not to be known on the Blue star.
She was on television everyday, and everyone here faithfully watched BSTV news and other shows.
"How can I not know you? You are the fierce female reporter who is not afraid to go into dangerous situations and bring the truth ho." The nurse said.
’Bring the truth ho’ was a slogan for their news, sothing done after Scarlet told them to have a catchy phrases added to the adverts of their news program. Advertising holograms of BSTV news always ended with that slogan.
"Well, erm, thank you." She said happily
"I don’t know how you do this job without ntal strength. You are the first of your kind, and others will learn much from you. Can I ask for an autograph?" The nurse exposed the terminal on her hand even before Jelly said yes or no.
Being told that she was the first of her kind was the truth bot overti, Jelly had grown weary of it. It was the sa as being told she was an anomaly in an otherwise normal society and she could never forget it.
Still, she signed the autograph app on the bracelet terminal, and smiled for a picture with the nurse.
"Have you seen Captain Zorl? The captain of the RGB?" She asked.
The nurse suddenly giggled and said, "The big bad captain who doesn’t smile?"
"That’s him." Jelly answered. That’s my man, she added silently in her thoughts.
"Are you really looking for captain big baby? I am afraid that I can’t let you see him or I will be fired. Press is not allowed to hold any interviews or speak to patients without the authority of the head doctor." The nurse who had been smiling suddenly changed her deanor to a professional one.
Impressive, Jelly thought. She could separate her personal bias from her professional duty. But why had she called Zorl captain big baby?
"I am here on a personal basis, I am his girlfriend." She answered confidently.
For further proof, she touched her bracelet terminal and showed the nurse a few pictures and one video of them together. "I am not lying just to get an interview with him. This is us at madam Du Fyne’s concert."
The nurse giggled in a girlish manner said, "Wow, this is, oh my god you are seriously dating captain big baby."
Curious, Jelly asked the nurse, "Why do you call him that?"
"Follow ." The nurse led Jelly and took a different elevator, one that could only be opened with identification of a workers thumb print and eye scan. As she manually input her workers identification number in the elevator computer lock, she explained to Jelly.
"We don’t see the more well known patients with the rest to avoid panic and a fuss. Ramslin ca in with a slight cold and the patients went bananas."
Nurse Maddy, identified. A voice above the elevator said and the doors opened up for them.
"I saw a female patient bang on the covers of a d bed so that she could et him, she broke three nails and her hand was sliced open. We almost had a stampede in here and we had to call the RGB. From then on, all famous patients are treated from the VIP sections."
Jelly nodded, she could easily see that happening with Ramslin. Her mother too was his fan.
"But, you haven’t answered my question about why Zorl is called captain big baby." She reminded the nurse.
The elevator stopped on the one hundred and eighteenth floor. "That’s because...you will see for yourself."
She pointed Jelly in the right direction and left.
Jelly thanked her and hastened her steps. The VIP wing was mostly quiet in the corridors, with no single movent outside. She could hear the pitter patter of her own feet as she walked and she hoped that it did not bother anyone.
The closer she ca to the ergency room of those wing, the more nervous she beca. It forced her to stop for a second and take a deep breath before opening the door at once.
What welcod her was a loud scream of a man which was followed by an exasperated shout from a doctor.
"How many tis should I prove it to you that a shot doesn’t hurt?"
"First do it to yourself again, one last shot to prove it doesn’t hurt. I can only trust what I read in your eyes."
An exhausted doctor then replied, "Captain, must we keep going until my entire hand is filled with injection marks? How does a big man like you chase after hardened criminals but is afraid of one little shot."
"Doctor? Criminals don’t look like sharp thin swords coming for my life. Can’t we just use numbing spray?" The captain answered.
"You have a burn on your arm, we need to dry it up from the inside so that new skin can grow overnight and the old burnt skin can fall off naturally. Are you the doctor or am I?"
"You are." Zorl mumbled grudgingly.
"Then don’t co into the hospital making suggestions on how I treat you because I don’t co and tell you how to run your investigations. Now, hold your hand out or I swear that I am calling robot butlers to hold you down. We do this dance all the ti, aren’t you tired of it?" The continued on, grabbing Zorl’s arm.
Again, Zorl scread and Jelly laughed. It was more of a muffled laugh as she had a hand on her mouth but the two people in the ergency room heard her.
Both n turned their heads to the entrance and saw her.
The doctor assud she was another patient while Zorl’s face turned red in absolute mortification.
"Don’t mind , keep going." Jelly walked deeper into the room, and she sat close to the captain.
Captain Zorl gritted his teeth, and gave his hand to the doctor. " Do what you must."
He looked so pained, as if he was giving the hand away so that it could be chopped off.
Jelly could see why the nurse called him captain big baby.
"Look at ." Jelly touched his head and told him.
Zorl opened his eyes which he had squeezed shut, turned his head over and looked into her eyes.
