In the hospital, Joy Dalton was bound to the bed. After the big scene she'd made earlier, she was now exhausted and fast asleep.
Outside the door, a doctor slowly approached. Just as he was about to enter, he was stopped by the young police officer at the door. "Who are you?"
"I'm a doctor." The doctor, wearing glasses and a mask, calmly showed the young police officer his work ID.
The young officer glanced at it, his expression suspicious. "Doctor Judson has always been the one to come by. Why the change without giving us a heads-up?"
The doctor nodded. "I'm an assistant physician under Doctor Judson. He had an emergency surgery, so he arranged for me to do his rounds. If you're uneasy about it, Officer, I can leave and come back after Doctor Judson is out of surgery."
After carefully sizing up the doctor, the young officer slowly nodded. "All right, go on in. Doctor Judson is a busy man, I get it. Just next time there's a change, it would be best to let us know beforehand."
