Frankenstein's Plastic Surgery Clinic - Mihaela Bogdan (chromebook ebook reader .txt) 📗

could keep his job, but maybe he will become famous and Cindy will be his wife.  With this happy thought in mind, he went to his boss's office and told him his idea.
  -Hahaha ... You are something boy! You know that doctor F. or whatever allows in his secret clinic only people with physical imperfections from birth or scars from accidents that are ugly.
  -I know that, sir. Please take a look at this! He rolled up the trouser's right leg and revealed to his boss a long pink and thunder shaped scar from a football game. He was running with the ball into the other team's gate when somebody made him fall into the wooden bench and scratched his leg pretty bad. Since then, the pink mark never disappeared.
  Without any more objections, Vincent got a big amount of money and transport to Venice. After he would arrive there, he will have a month available to find out who is doctor F. and why is he hiding from the world.
  Let's hope doctor F. can cure Vincent's shallowness along with his scar. If not, then too bad for him. Doctor F.'s clinic

Venice, 8 p.m.
  The plane landed in time after a long flight, without any trouble. Busy passengers are in a rush to take their baggage and look for a taxi cab.
  Vincent Norton didn't had to worry about anything. As he was getting outside the airport, a tall woman in a dark green overcoat, wearing a big brown hat and black sunglasses was waiting for someone near a black Fiat. In her hands was a piece of paper with Vincent's name on it.
  -Hello there, ma'am. I am Vincent Norton, and you are ... ?
  -Dana. Put this mask on and get in the car. Doctor F. doesn't like to wait too much for his patients.
  After hearing the woman talking in English that had a sharp tone mixed with Italian accent, Vincent followed her orders without hesitation. Before leaving New York, he studied doctor F.'s patients since now and tried to keep in mind what to do in order to not mess things up. He got help to get in the car and nurse Dana put on the safe belt for him. As the car was running with speed on the road, Vincent couldn't keep quiet. Therefore, he tried to have, at least, a nice talk with Dana, to make time go faster and maybe to make a good impression since Dana was doctor F.'s only nurse.
  -So, Dana, is it safe to drive this fast? I don't see anything through this mask, but I can feel the car's speed.
  -Don't worry Mr. Norton, I know these roads like the back of my hand.
  -Call me Vincent.
  -As you wish.
  Half an hour later, the car's speed was reduced. Judging from all the bounces and turns that shook Vincent like a salt shaker, nurse Dana was driving on a country road.
  "So, doctor F.'s clinic is far from any city. Figures. If only I can have a small look at the landscapes, maybe I can guess where nurse Dana is taking me. But I must not make a mistake, not even a small one. Doctor F. has strict rules and he can easily send me back empty handed. I refuse to go back without revealing his true identity."
  Until the car finally stop, Vincent tried to fight his curiosity and start acting like a professional. Nurse Dana opened the door for him again and took off the mask from his face. Now he was able to see again, but unfortunately it was dark outside.
  -Do not be sad, Vincent. You will have enough time to see the whole place. Follow me, you must be tired. I will take you to your bedroom.
  The clinic was actually a wooden country house with hospital appearance on the inside. White walls, white ceiling, white hones on the floor, the furniture was made of light colored wood and the curtains were azure. Even the smell made the new guest think that he entered a pharmacy.
  At the ground floor there was a small living room, where nurse Dana brought Vincent for some tea to recover from all those bounces, a kitchen, a limber box and a long corridor, where at the end of it was doctor F.'s operating room, next to a small sanitary room.
  Nurse Dana led Vincent to the first floor. Here were three bed rooms and a study. The study was on the left side from the stairs along with a bed room and the other two on the right side. Vincent had occupied one of the rooms from the right side.
  -This is your room from now, Vincent. You are free to go everywhere in the house except ... the two rooms from the left side of this floor. Am I clear? Nurse Dana took off her sunglasses revealing her beautiful green eyes that were looking at the new patient with suspicion.
  -May I ask what are those rooms? Vincent wanted to take back the question, thinking that it was rude for him to ask such thing.
  -My husband's study and our bedroom. This clinic it is also our home.
  -Your husband?
  -The doctor. Yes, I am his nurse and wife in the same time. Good night now, see you in the morning.
  "Doctor F. married his own nurse. Interesting. Too bad I am tired from that rough drive. I'll have to find answers in the morning."
  With this being said, Vincent unpacked his pajamas and went to bed. Before going to sleep, he wondered if somehow nurse Dana brings all the patients at night time, driving on an unpaved country road on purpose, to make them too tired to get interested of the clinic's location. And why is she married to the doctor? Most importantly, why is their bedroom on the same floor as the patients rooms, if they are trying to be anonymous among them? Was this a well-thought plan or just a deliberate mistake?
  Thinking of answers and what to do in the morning, Vincent's eyes closed heavily and he went sound asleep, not knowing what nurse Dana was talking with her husband.
                                                                          *
  -Did you put sleeping pills into his tea, Dana?
  -Of course, Franky. Just like I do with every patient of yours.
  -Seems like that rough trip wasn't efficient enough.
  -I took the hardest and less arranged road I could find, I swear!
  Doctor F. touched nurse Dana's right cheek lovingly, as a sign that he wasn't mad at his wife, on the contrary. She did well in the end. His new patient was sound asleep in his room and they could prepare for his medical examination in peace.
  They had no idea that Vincent was an undercover reporter who planed to reveal their true identities after his scare was gone.
  Will he do it? Or doctor F. and nurse Dana are a lot smarter than they seem?
  Let's not forget that doctor F. had many patients, rich and poor, and they tried as Vincent to find out his true identity, but failed.
  -Still, I think this Vincent Norton is hiding something and I don't like it.
  -Dana, don't lose your focus. Stay calm and we won't fail. We have a well thought plan that will not fail us. It never had and it never will!

Unknown village

-Are you going to sleep all day?
  Vincent opened his heavy eyes slowly when Dana's sharp voice scold him. He raised his head from the soft pillow, rubbed his eyes while yawning open mouth and asked the cold blooded nurse what time it was.
  -It is 12 o'clock. Nurse Dana answered pointing to her watch.
  -WHAT?! 12?! In my life I never slept this long!
  -At 8 o'clock doctor F. tried to wake you up, but you were sound asleep. He had no choice then to examine you as you were.
  -And what did he do?! Vincent was curious to hear if he can stay a bit longer at the clinic.
While looking into some papers she had in her hands, nurse Dana read the results out loud and played with one of her black strands. A day before she had her big hat on, so Vincent was impressed now to see how lovely the nurse looked.
  "A tall brunette with green eyes. Doctor F. sure has good tastes in women. He must be really handsome if he's got a sexy wife. Lucky guy!"
  -In conclusion, you are in a good health condition, except the fact that you need more calcium. Now let me ask you few questions.
  Nurse Dana began to ask Vincent tons of questions about his allergies, previous operations, his past illnesses and other vital information before doctor F. could operate him. After that, she asked about his family's health history, if somehow he inherited any physical defect from his parents or grandparents, or anything else that needs to be known.
  -Thank you for the cooperation, Vincent. Now change and come down to breakfast ... I mean lunch.
  The lunch wasn't very tasty, but Vincent eat it without worrying too much. He was disappointed of himself because he missed the moment of meeting doctor F. in person for the first time in his life. Thanks to his deep sleep, he had to stay longer with nurse Dana, whom it seems to dislike him for no reason. Before she woke him up, Vincent had a wonderful dream: he returned to New York with doctor F.'s true identity revealed and became very famous. Cindy was so impressed that she left her boss for him.
  But unfortunately for him, it was all a dream.
  -I see you are sad.
  -It's because I was thrilled to meet doctor F.; I hope he isn't mad at me.
  -No, he's not. There is nothing special about his appearance. Just an ordinary doctor in his ordinary surgery suit.
  -Nurse Dana, can I ask you something personal?
  -Go ahead. Dana responded cold, while she was playing with her long wavy black hair, looking towards doctor F.'s operating
