The daytime atmosphere at Edelstein Hospital was very crowded. Many patients sit in line to check their health. Including Queen who has since sat in front of the Internal Medicine Specialist Poly.
The girl's lips look pale. His hands were massaging his dizzy head hoping it could ease the dizziness he was feeling. But still his head still felt dizzy. Sometimes his chest also suddenly felt tight, then turned into pain. Luckily the girl was the only one sitting in front of Poli's internal medicine, so the atmosphere around her was not too crowded. Can imagine, right? When your head hurts and around you is noisy, you get dizzy.
"Sucks.. Why do I have to have this fucking disease?" hiss Queen while holding her head.
The other hand grabbed the phone that was in the bag. It looks like it's past two o'clock in the afternoon. His stomach feels very hungry. But he did not have a taste for food with the dizziness and tightness in his chest that he felt.
"Is it still a long time?" he looked at the speaker in the corner of the wall.
Ding Ding... Call to Ayesha Queen Stephanie. Please come into the room...
Heard his name called. Queen immediately tote her bag and walked into the poly of internal medicine. Regan who was writing accompanied by a nurse beside her.
Regan raised her head to look at her patient. "Oh? Detective Queen?"
Queen smiled stiffly. The girl immediately sat down on the chair reserved for the patient in front of Regan's desk. Without Regan asking the girl directly mentioned her complaint.
Regan took an infrared digital thermometer and pointed it at Queen's forehead. After a few seconds, he saw the results. "You have a little fever" Regan said, showing Queen the thermometer showing 37.9°C.
"Are you working too hard today?" ask Regan.
Queen nodded her head in response to Regan's question. Because he thinks he's working pretty hard compared to his usual days today. From seven o'clock in the morning he was busy investigating at the xx beverage company building and had just taken a break at about one o'clock in the afternoon. Then she went straight to the hospital feeling her head dizzy and her chest tight.
"I don't know how big of a case you're working on. But I just ask you to rest more so that the disease you are suffering from is not getting worse" Regan said with a serious expression.
"What will my illness be? What was the worst death?" ask Queen.
Regan shut up for a second. He didn't want to answer that question. "Surely, you will be healed." Regan replied with a sweet smile.
The queen looked the other way and smiled wryly. But accidentally his eye bead saw Regan's name on the table complete with his title as a specialist in internal medicine. The girl was silent for a long time staring at the name. I don't know what he's thinking.
"Detective?" call Regan when she realizes that Queen is not listening.
"Ah, sorry. I lack focus. Can I repeat?" ask Queen with a face without guilt.
"I added pain medication. You can drink it when you feel pain in the chest or dizziness. If you don't feel the two don't need to drink" Regan repeated the sentence.
"All right."
When it is silent without sound. Suddenly the Queen's stomach rang loudly. Kruyuuukk... The girl's cheeks instantly blushed in embarrassment. "Fuckin' stomach." Her inner voice was swearing at her stomach that sounded not knowing a place.
Regan laughed at that. He looked at the nurse beside him. "Is there another patient after him?" ask Regan to the nurse.
"No doc. You want to rest?" stella answered and asked Regan. His intention was, he wanted to invite his doctor to lunch together. But reality is not as beautiful as expectations, my friend.
"Detective Queen, would you like to have lunch together?" ask Regan.
It's like being struck by lightning in broad daylight. Stella immediately widened her eyes hearing Regan's question just now. The delusion that formed in his mind instantly froze to hear his heart invite another woman to lunch in front of his eyes directly.
"I?" ask Queen while pointing at herself.
Regan nodded with a smile. "There's something I want to ask you" he said later.
Queen was silent for a moment. Actually he wanted to refuse, but come to think of it as a benefit to eat together. A famous doctor couldn't possibly let a woman pay for her own food when eating together? That's what he had in mind.
"alright. If you're not busy." replied Queen.
"Damn it, am I invisible?" muttered Stella annoyed.

The canteen
Regan orders food for herself and Queen. Sure enough Queen guesses, Regan paid for their food.
"So, what do you want to ask?" ask Queen.
"Where were you at the party tonight?" ask Regan frankly.
"To mama's grave, there's a problem there." replied the Queen as it is. "By the way, you use informal language?" ask Queen back.
"Yes, here we are not as doctors and patients" Regan replied with a smile.
Queen mangosteen understands. They continued eating quietly without making a sound. Regan finally opened her voice. "So early this morning a patient came to the hospital" Regan said.
Queen frowned. "Yes continues? Do patients come to the hospital? How could sick people come to the amusement park?" ask Queen wonder.
Regan laughed a little. "That's not what I meant. The patient was accompanied by police. He's badly injured. His upper arm bone was broken and the bone in his leg was fractured. His body is really broken. He's great enough to still be able to put up with his circumstances like that" Regan said.
"He's Javas Schaefer?" ask Queen.
"How did you know?" regan asked a little surprised.
"That's the case I'm working with Detective Aiden" Queen replied casually as she drank her iced tea. "How is he doing now?" ask Queen.
"Critics." Regan replied briefly.
After the conversation about it ended. The two kept quiet again. As silence began to approach them, Queen immediately opened her voice again. "Do you know about the death of my mother who had cardiomyopathy five years ago in this hospital?" ask Queen suddenly.
Regan shook her head. "No. I just moved to this hospital three years ago" Regan replied as she was. "Why is that?" ask Regan curiously.
Queen took her breath. "Mama was fine that day. Even the doctor allowed him to go home. But suddenly the mother was pronounced dead of heart failure" Queen told the story of her mother's death.
"That could have happened" Regan replied because it was.
"Yes I know. But it's awkward. The mama infusion liquid was initially clear, after the mama was taken away to bathe I realized that the infusion liquid turned yellowish. Plus the infusion hose that has injection marks." said Queen at length. He had never said this much before. But somehow she felt comfortable telling this to Regan whom she had only just met.
"So you think your mother was murdered?" ask Regan.
Queen nodded.
"I'll help you investigate this" Regan said without hesitation.
Queen looked up at Regan's eyes. "no need. I don't want you to get dragged into this." Queen refused.
Regan smiles. "Your fault told me this. I became curious and wanted to investigate this." Regan replied with a sweet smile.
Unnoticed at the end of the canteen. A person wearing a doctor suit with a mask covering his face stared intently at Regan and Queen. Even if it was a long distance away but he was still able to hear every sentence that Queen and Regan said.
