"The boy...behind you...He's so pretty!"
said in excitement. (Recap)
I turned back to see who she was calling pretty but I just saw a few nurses and some people sitting on the chairs but no 'pretty boy.'
"Oh Kelly! Please don't leave my cabin just like that-" A woman came running and bent in front of the little girl. The woman was wearing a doctor's coat.
"I'm so sorry. I left the door open and she sneaked out. I'm her psychiatrist. She's a very imaginative kid so please don't believe what she said." The woman told me.
"That's not a problem. Nice to meet you. I'm Gwen Smith." I said and shook hands with her.
"I'm Marie Frost and my office is right there." She said, pointing towards a room few doors away from dad's ward.
"May I ask...what did Kelly say?" She asked hesitantly.
"She said there was a boy behind me and called him pretty. But apparently there wasn't anyone." I answered.
" I see. I need to work a lot on her. If you could please excuse us?" She asked.
"Sure. Bye Ms Frost?"
"Yeah I'm...single. But I'm getting married next month." She smiled brightly.
"Congratulations." I said and Ms Frost took Kelly along with her to her office.
Mom's coffee!
I hurried to the elevator, got mom's coffee and returned back in the elevator.
Right when I walked past Ms. Frost's office, I heard a very familiar voice of a man.
"I want to know something regarding 'The Miler's Suicide' case." The man asked.
"Oh, what makes you think I have some information?" I heard Ms Frost.
"Because he frequently visited this hospital for counselling sessions." He answered.
"I'm a psychiatrist, not a counsellor."

"Of course, I'm a detective by profession and I'm educated enough to know the difference." He said," Where is the counsellor?"
That's...Mr. Richard Cooper, the detective who had visited our school. It's the same gruff yet smooth voice with a mix of American and British accent. Wasn't the investigation closed? Why is he still investigating about Ethan's case?
"The counsellor quit her job last month." Ms Frost answered.
I moved a little close to the door to hear clearly.
"Has it got something to do wi-"
"Certainly not. As I mentioned, it was last month and this incident happened recently." Ms Frost said,"Kelly, don't eat those pens!"
I heard Kelly giggle while Ms Frost sighed,"Please leave. I have more important work."
"Then, thank you very much."
I immediately started walking as Mr. Cooper was about to come out. I went straight to dad's ward before Mr. Cooper could see me. Even if he did, he wouldn't recognise me instantly.

Hopeful Start
DROPPED: Decided to drop this one, I didn't properly think through a lot and as i started making chapters i found myself aiming for a word count and adding things or characters that i probably wouldn't use later, same with the system, i awas making it convoluted. Sorry! Transported to another world? Maybe to defeat the demon king or defeat a evil god! However for our protagonist he wasn't quite as lucky, working day in day out to pay off the debt his parents left him only to go home and get transported to another world where he is attacked by a unknown creature. Hello! This is my first time writing a story and i most likely won't do the best job at doing so. Some constructive feedback and tips would be fantastic.

Journey to the Old Era (Drisana's Mahabharat #1)
Drisana has always felt like she's in the wrong place, wrong time. Why? That has no answer. After her parents death, adventure lover Drisana has been travelling around the world to find peace in her heart which has always been missing. But things take a drastic change when she comes to visit the place that her parents belonged to, where she was born. One moment she was in the basement of her parental house and the next she somehow tumble through a energy portal to 5157 years back in time in the Dwapar yug, badly injured, right on the hands of the legendary heroes of Mahabharat, Pandavs. What is she doing there? How she reached from Kaliyug to Dwapar yug and why? Many more things are running through her mind and all she got from the mortal disguise of Lord Narayan, Krishna is, "Tum etihas ka hissa nahi balki etihas rachne aayi ho. Apni vaggya ka racaita tum khud ho. " (You're not part of the history. Rather you have come to create the history. You're the writer of your own destiny.) *********** Familiar with the Mahabharat? Don't worry if you're not. I've added a short description of the original Mahabharat plot in the book for those. This story will follow the original mahabharat storyline but in a vastly different way with a lot of twists and events in my style. 😉 I'm aware Mahabharat holds religious sentiments for some and I do not INTEND to offend anyone. This is for entertainment purpose only. So don't get serious or offended please. And I apologise in advance if you feel hurt by any content of the book.
