The Last Laugh

Chapter 15 - The Change

***

I woke up the next morning to find a man in suit and tie by me. I sat up.

"Good morning, Sheridan. How did you sleep?" the man asked.

"Um, well."

"Okay. Good to know. I'm Dr. James. Victor's doctor. Here to help. Do still feel pain all over your body?"

"Not really. Uncle Victor gave me pain killers and a little pomade to put on the wounds and bruises."

"I can see the wounds are dried up. And the bruises?"

"They don't hurt anymore. Though they're still there."

"Don't worry everything will be okay. Now I have to treat your knee."

"Okay."

He stood up and opened his briefcase before taking out some medical utensils from it. I was surprised.

"You're gonna treat me here?"

"Yeah." the man said amused, "Why go to a hospital when your uncle can get you his doctor to treat you at home."

This was too cool.

"Okay." I leaned back and allowed the man to do his job.

Some minutes later, after a medical knee massage, other stuff and a checkup, the doctor was done. He'd wrapped my knee up.

Uncle Victor's fiancee, Laury, came in and approached us. She smiled at me.

"Good morning, Sheridan. How did you sleep?"

"Quite well." I smiled back. She then turned to the doctor.

"So doctor, what about his knee?" she asked.

"Luckily it isn't dislocated like you thought."

"Really?"

"Yes. But it's badly hurt. Buy rub. One of the strongest. Use it to massage his knee everyday. By the end of this week. He'll be okay."

Thank goodness!

"Oh, that's good news." Laury said.

"Yes, it is. Now my work done, I'll leave."

We told the doctor goodbye and he left.
