Genius Girl

Chapter 15 - 15: Claire Bole

Inside the third room filled with medical equipment, Daniella was standing next to the bed. The senator's daughter was laying on the bed, tears were streaming down from her eyes, while her wimp bounced around the four walls of the room.

Daniella stared at the girl, her eyes were pitch dark while her thin lips pursed together.

The door opened, Daniella didn't bother to look as she already knows who just came, it was Claire Bole, a middle-age doctor whom she had known for years.

The doctor stood next to her, sanitizing both of her hands.

"Daniella, every time we are in this room, I have always asked you this," Claire paused to breathe and then continued.

"Are you sure about this?"

Daniella smirked bitterly, she momentarily looked at Claire and nodded.

"Yes," she said with a serious face.

Getting that answer, Claire went to the other side of the bed and tied both of the senator's daughter's hand on the side of the bed.

She tied it with a belt attached to the bed, she locked it and took one of the syringes to give her anesthesia.

As she injected the needle on the girl's arm, Daniella stopped her.

Claire looked at Daniella, the girl had a confusion painted on her face.

"No Claire. I want her to feel the pain, all of it," Daniella casually said, taking the syringe from Claire.

"This is going to be painful Daniella," Claire worriedly stated. She could see the fear on the girl's pale face when she heard that they won't use anesthesia during the operation. She had seen this before, the fear at the people's faces for the pain they are about to feel. And every time, in the same room, scream, cry and beg of the people filled the room.

Claire sighed, there was no point of asking Daniella, the woman has made her mind.

The people who played a part in getting her locked up will pay. Daniella had wasted a lot of years finding the man behind Doctor Lee, the man who supported him but, until now all she knows is that Dr. Lee was supported by some of the government's official.

Daniella had a list but still missing who is Dr. Lee's real boss.

Claire's eyes gloom, looking at Daniella she reminisced their first meeting.

--

In the hospital.

Claire was sitting at her desk with her palms on her face, tears were running down her face, heart-aching uncontrollably.

The divorce paper on the table was covered with her tears, after ten years of marriage, the ten years she spent loving her husband ended by a piece of paper.

Claire was in her forties and now she's divorce.

Her weep went louder but, soon it was disturbed by the knock on the door.

"Doctor Bole, emergency!" the nurse voice said rushing.

And just like that, Claire wiped her tears and left the room to cure her patients, the work she has been doing for some years, the reason why she got divorced, it was because of her work.

Her sweet personality was loved by everyone in the hospital, she has the kindness of a saint, yet inside, she was broke as hell.

She proceeded to the emergency room but, before she could reach the door, she found a boy standing by the close door.

Her eyebrows creased, his body was like a stick, he was covered with mud but, it didn't stop her from seeing the wounds all over his body.

Some of his wounds were still bleeding while some had turned into a scar.

Slowly, the boy turned to her direction, with his weak legs, he walked towards her.

Claire stared at his face, the boy, his eyes were like angel eyes, so round and beautiful.

"You are wounded, let's get you treated first," she held his wrist and her heart ached. She could not imagine that such a person could have a body like this. He was like a walking skeleton.

But the boy shook his head, and cope her cheeks with his frail hands.

Claire saw the pain in his eyes, the boy just stared at her, so long that she later felt uncomfortable.

"Boy, I need to go. I have an emergency and you need to be treated," she took a step forward to leave but, the boy stopped her by her wrist.

"Let me help you. My sister is in the emergency room. Please, you must let me inside," Claire shut her eyes, she doesn't like the pain she's seeing at the boy's eyes.

"You can go but, must not do anything. Alright?" the boy nodded obediently while his lips stretched in a smile.

Seeing the dimples on his cheeks, Claire smiled.

She cannot bear a child and seeing the boy somehow made her feel at ease.

When they entered the emergency room, the other doctors and nurses complained about having the boy around but, the boy kneeled, begging to let him accompany his sister.

No one could refuse the boy, so they let him inside.

Claire and the other doctor stood on each of the hospital bed while the three nurses were busy assisting them.

Claire stared at the girl on the bed, her face was so similar to the boy sitting quietly in the corner, and her body, her body was full of cuts, some were deep some were not.

Claire's lips parted with disbelief, then she turned to the other doctor in front of her.

"What happened to her?"

"I don't know but the boys that brought them here told me that they were being experimented," Claire gasped, while her knee weakened.

Her eyes sweeping with shock stared back at the girl. Earlier she was crying because of her divorce yet the girl and the boy were being experimented and based on all the wounds and scars in their body, Claire realized that her problem was nothing.

"What kind of monster does this to a kid,? She murmured with disgust. Heart throbbing for the kids.

"I don't know but, one of her kidneys was replaced and you wouldn't believe this," Claire's face went pale when they showed the x-ray result of the girl's body.

"They replaced it with an animal kidney and based on the size. I am guessing it's from an ape," and that was it, hearing those words has made Claire drop the gloves she was about to wear, while her face, white as sheet turned to the boy.

"How is it possible?" Claire murmured; eyes filled with shock stared at the girl.

"Would you like to sit next to your sister?" she asked, those words barely left her lips.

The boy nodded and rushed next to his sister. One of the nurses took a high chair and let him sit next to the head of her sister.

Soon, Claire and the other doctor took their medical equipment and started the operation.

They injected the anesthesia in the girl's spine, waited a few minutes and started the operation.

Claire positioned the knife at the previous cut on the girl's stomach. She needed to remove the old stitches to remove the kidney but, as soon as the knife scr.a.p.e the wound, the girl who has been conscious suddenly woke up and started screaming

Everyone was startled, Claire and the other doctor stared at each other with shock wondering why she felt the pain when they just injected her with anesthesia.

"Are we too early?" Clair said.

The other doctor was about to answer when the boy suddenly spoke.

"Please be quick! Anesthesia doesn't work on her. Nothing works on her so please finish the operation quickly," the boy shouted, exceeding the scream of the girl.

Claire gulped hard, her body shaken by the thought of the pain the girl must have been feeling now.

Then, she looked at the girl's face. Her eyes swelled, everyone in the room gasped as they watched the girl's eyes changing its color.

From brown to black to green and blue it changes every time the girl blink.

The little girl deafening screeched bounced around the room, some of the nurses covered their ears as they can no longer hold her scream.

"Daniella, bite my arm. Quick!" Claire heard the boy shouting.

She watched as the girl's teeth bite on the boy's petite arm.

The room became quiet, but the boy and the girl were both suffering from the pain.

Claire was stunned for a moment; she could see how painful the girl's bite was by the expression of the boy. Though it was painted with pain, determination and care were shining at the boy's round eyes.

"Let's do this quickly," Claire and the other doctor rushed. They have never rushed an operation but this time they need too, or else, the little girl's body might give up.

It took them almost half an hour to finish the operation, thankfully the boy had his sister's kidney with him.

She doesn't know how he got it, there are so many questions in her mind.

Later that night, the boy asked if she can delete his sister's profile in the hospital but, due to the hospital regulation, Claire had to refuse it.

And the next day, the boy and his sister disappeared and the hospital was burnt down.

The investigation goes on, a lot of people wondered why one of the high-end hospitals suddenly caught fire. All the files, everything was burnt down, thankfully no one got hurt.

For years, Claire wondered about the two kids, she asked herself so many time if it's possible that the boy started the fire.

And everything came clear when the girl she once operated appeared at her house.

The girl's face was enchantingly beautiful, something she didn't notice at first. Her eyes, bewitching round eyes were full of pain and sadness.

And the girl's thin lips parted, letting out a broken voice.

"Thank you for saving me Doctor Bole but right now, I need your help."

--

Claire was pulled back from reminiscing the past when she felt a poke on the tip of her nose.

She looked at Daniella, the girl was a smile at her.

"Stop reminiscing the past Claire."

And that's it, as always, even though Claire disagree on how Daniella deal with her enemy, as soon as she remembers the pain on Daniella's face that night, she could not do anything but help her.

Daniella had done a lot of things to her, she had helped her a lot. Even though she was cruel to her enemy, Daniella is still the kindest person she had ever met.

Daniella treated the other people like a mirror, she reflects on the people's action towards her.

Just like her, she helped Daniella a lot, listen and understand her and in exchange, the girl has always had her back.

Meeting Daniella has made her realized that being kind to everyone is not right.

Kindness should only be applied in the people that are nice at you and for the people who did wrong, those people who caused you pain, Daniella taught her not to show mercy.

Having that thought in her mind, Claire took the scalpel and wiped wet cotton on the patient's eyes.

She watched as the knife Daniella was holding move closer at the girl's eyes, and before the tip of the metal scr.a.p.e the girl's skin, the door opened and let out Robert, a phone was on his hand.

"Daniella, I got a call from the bar's manager. Seems like someone put something in the wine I serve. Evan Su is at-" his words been cut out when Daniella pushed him away and rushed out of the room like a wind.

Dumbfounded, Claire turned to Robert, she was about to speak when she heard the sound of the motorcycle from the open door.

Claire's head, titling with confusion looked back at the girl on the bed.

"What is happening Robert?" Claire asked uncertainty was on her face.

The man nonchalantly shrugged a shoulder and showed her a phone with a black screen.

"Well, it was a joke. I was just testing if she cares about Evan or not and since she flew like a bird, I think she likes him. That must be the reason why she kissed him."

Claire was stunned upon hearing it.

"Daniella kissed Evan?"

"Yeah. Twice and the second one was really hot. Evan ripped her dress," Robert said like a five-year-old boy snitching his sister at their mother.

"Well it's progress for her," Claire cheered upon hearing it but, the fear she's seeing at Robert's face tells her something

"Robert, why your hands are shaking,?" Claire asked.

With a stuttering voice, Robert replied, "the call was fake. Evan is still at the bar."

Claire clicked her tongue repeatedly while her head shook, "Oh you naughty little Robert! My ex-husband and I bought this land at the North Cemetery and it's still empty. If I were you I am going to bury myself" saying those with a little tease, Robert's face went pale.
