Unable to believe what she was seeing in front of her, Akira took a deep breath .
She was instantly regretting her decision of involving Dr . Nelson into all this . She never expected him to get hurt because of her decision . She had no clue that Dr . Oshana would try to take revenge from Dr . Nelson .
He could see the amount of deliberation that she was going through . He could sense the amount of disappointment that had spread on her face .
He knew that she had realized that his getting hurt by a nail in the church was a bogus story and there was no point of lying any more to her . So he said,
"I just didn't want you to get worried . I knew this was exactly the way you would have reacted . It is just a small cut . "
"Small cut? Then why you have to take so many stitches for that?"
"Eleven stitches to be exact . "Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .

"Why you have to add fuel to the fire?"
Dr . Nelson asked and looked at his fellow doctor all disappointedly, who in turn just smiled at him and left the room .
"See it's all fine now . "
Dr . Nelson said and showed her his hand .
Akira looked at his hand and then looked into the dust bin near him, which was filled with gauze and cotton soaked in his blood .
She remembered exactly a similar scene when Raymond was attacked by Anthony when he was trying to save her .
She turned back at him and said,
"Dr . Nelson, you have done enough . I already have many people around me, facing a lot of troubles because of me . I don't want to add your name to that list . "
Dr . Nelson was shocked to hear her address him all formally . Suddenly from being Jaby, he had become Dr . Nelson .
"I know you mean well, but can you imagine what would have had happened if the wounds would have been a bit deep? All this name and respect that you have earned, would have gone into drain . Your hands are the most precious thing that you have and you can't lose them because of me . "
Before Dr . Nelson could even say a word and interrupt her, she continued,
"I will call Dr . Oshana up and fix a deal with her . You are not to be involved in any of this . "
"Just stop Akira . "
His voice although soft, but was stern at the same time .
"Which part of not dealing with her do you not understand?"
"You do not have to worry . I have other ways of dealing with her . She cannot get to me, Dr . Nelson . I will amicably settle things out with her . I think more than feeling scared, she is feeling deceived . I shouldn't have involved you at all . All this is my fault . Completely mine . "
Saying that Akira again looked at his hand onto which he slipped on a covering bandage to protect it from any dust and water and from her eyes as well .
"It was all my fault . I was unprepared . I didn't know that she was capable of physical assault . Now that I know, don't you think I will be able to take care of myself Akira?"
Saying that he looked into her eyes which had turned all misty and he suddenly softened .
"I am really fine Akira . Just not fine with the way you are calling be Dr . Nelson again . "
Saying that he smiled .
Hearing that she also smiled briefly and then sat on the chair in front of him and said,
"You have no idea about my life . All the people whom I ever brought close to my life, have always been affected in some manner or the other . I have lost my parents, a friend, my love, too, which I have found back just because of God's grace . And you Jaby, you are a really nice person . I thought I could be friends with you . I really did . But I guess, its better for both of us if we stay acquaintances as well . "
"Why are you saying such negative stuff Akira?"
"That's because right now it's ok . But what would have happened if she would have damaged a nerve of your hand? You would have been handicapped for your life Jaby . And trust me at that point of time, you would have loathed me . Probably you would have cursed your fate for bringing me into your life . "
Saying that she got up from her seat and then looking fondly towards Dr . Nelson she said,
"So I guess its better that, our paths really don't cross with each other Jaby . God forbid, if anything happens, you might forgive me, but I cannot forgive myself . "
Jaby stood there all speechless, as she picked up her bag and left .
She didn't even turn back to say goodbye .
