Chapter 17

Just Friends

Meanwhile, Doctor Vega, who felt awkward, immediately stood up and left the room. She immediately ran after him, looking for Alberto.

"Alberto! Alberto!" She called.

There were no employees in all the rooms in the hospital except the room where they had lunch because they were enjoying Doctor Bernardo's banquet. There were only interns and patients there.

"Obviously, you're here. I've been looking for you since earlier, but now I'm so tired," said Doctor Vega when he was near Alberto.

"I'm sorry! I must go now," said Doctor Chico while walking towards his room.

"Okay, Doc." Alberto allowed Doctor Chico to leave.

"What's wrong?" asked Doctor Vega, confusedly.

"Nothing." Alberto lied because he felt it was something he shouldn't tell Doctor Vega.

"Really?" Doctor Vega confirmed it again.

"Yes."  Alberto agreed.

"You look so tense! There must be something you try to hide from me!" Doctor Vega comments.<
