"Now, let's have a chat with you; shall we?" The dean looked at the head nurse sinisterly. Looking at his sinister countenance, the head nurse gulped as she sweated bullets.
"May God save me," she prayed in her mind and hoped that the dean wouldn't make things difficult for her.
"Please come forward and take a seat," the dean said with an eerie smile on his face.
"Un" the head nurse nodded as she walked out of the corner and sat on the sofa where Ray and the others previously sat.
"Now, please explain the whole situation once again. Also, I don't want a biased response from your side nor do I want you crying about anything. Be honest and tell me everything," the dean said seriously.
"Okay," the head nurse as she started speaking and narrated everything that happened, from the mistake made by the receptionist to her argument with Aliya as she wasn't able to provide assurance for Ray getting healed completely.
"And did you make an oath against the heavens?" The dean asked.
"Yes," the head nurse nodded in agreement.
"Care to share your oath?"
"Well, I took an oath that I will get better and improve my skills to the point that I would be able to heal anything there is whether it's a disease, an illness, a wound, or any sort of curse. I took an oath to be able to help anyone suffering from such issues and heal them even if the heavens are the ones who caused this," the head nurse spoke.
Listening to her words, the dean nodded as he spoke, "And it was your last line that brought the heavens to strike us," Saying that, the dean raised his hand. In his hand was a crystal ball that shone a light green color. Looking at the ball in his hand, the dean spoke, "See this crystal ball over here? Well, it tells me if you are speaking the truth or not. Therefore, if it shines a greenish color that means you are speaking the truth, red means that you are lying and if it doesn't shine any color then that means that you are avoiding the topic or twisting the truth," the dean told the head nurse.
As he did, the head nurse nodded as she got even more nervous.
"Now with my next question. Were you not healing Ray intentionally?" The dean asked.
"No, it was because I wasn't sure that I would be able to heal him," the head nurse answered as the crystal ball in the dean's hand glowed green.
"Okay, what about the girl from the rose family? Why was there some sort of friction between you both," the dean asked.
"Uhm… she openly humiliated me by speaking ill of my skills as a healer," the head nurse answered.
Seeing the crystal glow a greenish light, the dean didn't pry deeper into the matter as he knew that for the head nurse it was a personal matter.
"Now tell me, are you ready to be punished for your incompetence and nonprofessional attitude while on duty as the head nurse?" The dean questioned.
"Yes I am," the head nurse nodded with a guilty expression as she thought, "Well, it was my fault from the beginning. After all, both of the kids that the dean had sent to her were in serious condition," she thought.
"One last thing before I tell you your punishment," the dean said and asked, "Why was it that you weren't able to heal Ray? After all, I have seen you heal people in much worse conditions,"
"Well, when I tried to heal the kid, some strange energy within his body resisted my healing power and even tried to consume it. Not to mention that his mana pathways were almost destroyed and his internal organs were in a mess. Therefore, I was confused if his body would be able to handle the amount of energy that would have been required to be infused into his body," the head nurse answered.
"Okay," the dean said and stood up from his seat as he walked to the window and peered outside.
"Your punishment is to increase your skills to the maximum and fulfill your oath as fast as you can. Also, your pay for the next six months would be deducted and you will be taking the Rose family's girl as your assistant whenever she isn't on a mission. Also, you can't be too outrageous with her when she works with you," the dean said and paused for a couple of seconds then spoke, "Also you are to go now and heal that kid named 'Tim' and get him up and running in the next hour,"
Saying that, the dean announced her punishment and dismissed her.
The head nurse nodded, stood up from her seat, and left the dean's office with a singular thought in her mind, "Thankfully he didn't cancel my license. He just cut my pay, asked me to take that brat as my assistant, and told me to fulfill my oath as fast as I could and improve my skills as much as I could,"
As the head nurse left the office, Amanda finally moved as she walked to a chair and made herself comfortable by bringing out a bottle of Chateau Lafite 1869. Uncorking the bottle, Amanda brought the bottle closer to her nose and took a sniff of the fragrant wine.
"You know that is one of the most expensive wines in the world," Old Man Abraham glanced at her and said.
"Well, I don't care. After all, the world's end is near and today might be the last day to savor this delicacy in such peace," Amanda said, pouring the wine into a glass. She twirled it lightly and looked at the man who had captured her heart.
"What's going on in your mind?" She asked, worried about the dean, she poured another glass and stood up.
Walking to the dean, she hugged him from behind and passed a glass to him, "At least have some to yourself. I don't want you drowning yourself in work and then falling into the endless pit called depression. So take a break," she said and looked into the dean's eyes and kissed him on his forehead.
"If you guys were going to do this then why did you call me?" Old Man Abraham spoke, annoyed over their show of affection; he poured himself some wine and walked out of the office. Leaving behind the two lovebirds to themselves.
"Why do you do this to him? You know his lover was killed but you still do this. It pains his heart," The dean responded as he turned around and called Old Man Abraham.
"Hey Old Man, she was just joking. I called you here for a reason so would you please come back," The dean spoke. His voice traveled through the hallway outside his office and reached the Old Man's ears.
"Coming," Old Man Abraham replied as he turned around and slowly walked back to the office.
