My day at TCH was going fine.
I had surgery in two hours, but before then, I was excited to see Xylon who had come for his monthly check up.
I had my client's file in my hand and examined it as I headed to Xylon's room. It was the patient I'd be performing surgery on in a couple of hours. There was a lot I had to catch up on in his file.
"Hi, aunty!" Xyla's sweet voice reached my ears from the bed when I walked into the room.
She ran into me before I even got the chance to look at her.
"Hi, baby," I laughed, patting her on the back.
I lifted my eyes to look for Xylon and my smile dropped, sinking low into my stomach in a way that hurt.
My hands dropped to my sides, my eyes quickly darting to the floor. No one had mentioned he was here. I didn't brace myself for it.
