"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.

8 149Shadows in the Dawn Mist
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] - Winner November 2020 When a young woman is lured back to her homeland for the opportunity of a life time, she must face old fears. But never would she think that facing up to her past would change everything. Is History written by the victors, or by someone or something else...? *** I started writing this a few years ago and eventually fell out of love with it. I never finished it and my newer books are being written in different writing style, and genre with a more planned process. I decided to revisit it for the writathon and found that it wasn't as hopeless as I'd come to think. Hopefully, I've improved as a writer since them so the consistency may vary. Its been good to revisit and analyse my writing which I feel used to have some clunky and obvious dialogue which I'm trying to fix. This will always be my first novel and I hope, with a little exposure, I may come to like it again. Thanks for reading!
