LnD | Chapter 2

Since Si-ron 1bba577e66 entered the 041c4ebca9 hospital, the c8c7c6c510 pale-faced doctor, 3424c25d9d who seemed cd03394c68 to have ca4b38c3c7 no trace 1fc8c26373 of kindness, d1386872b6 hadn’t risen bcf40d56c4 from his 4e6c7a62cc desk once. With slicked-back 0a269a3d65 black hair b59c5bf28a and piercing 1ab1785f4a blue eyes, 1c45ed2750 the man’s 87ef4ddb14 prominent brow 1cb335812c gave him 9221a02d20 a deep-set 807c0aaa7b look, more b60410b29f reminiscent of 45e87e7923 an actor e2550400f3 than a ac901d7bcf doctor.7ad55e245515efc6

In the film 4ac99d8e38 industry, no matter 4f11bc3522 how well you 27fdd8363d act, it’s ultimately 1cc406dd99 the natural vibe 8ccd77d55e and image that c4e01b3892 decide everything. Even if an 8c8637bee1 actor’s performance is 9bbdb73158 lacking, they get 1f4444e32c cast if they bf996d42ac fit the role’s 069e42f8c5 image. The doctor looked d1da6e4c55 like he’d leave bd7e85e8cf an impact as 0af0a3a19e a significant villain e3a625b0b4 in a superhero cc8cd3e350 movie.84945942c142f451

The doctor’s 43b0f77cd3 coat seemed fd55042050 too small f2070eb758 for his 8656dde26a muscular build, c4d995aa8f and he 17a3ee63ab was as f0c2552e99 tall as 5a9bc2bbef a power a78084d014 forward in 60c1acf309 basketball. Yet, his b620e2e837 skin was 04c600420f as pale 6e9474ed48 as someone 97bad646ea who’d been f529944be7 locked in 12d3570c81 a mental 5da41063fd hospital for e56ee226b6 a year. His hands were so f654b2e12a large that Si-ron doubted 179ee70d5b if delicate surgery was 14fe9fc727 possible. Even if he 589d66f49c were dying from 18a63f8fa9 kidney stones, he 4545e74139 wouldn’t trust his e375bc1db3 body to those 1a318961fa hands.fd65357b19218a6d

The two 8a166f14c0 moved to ef31f7d297 a windowless 70e230eb24 room, sitting dbff52cfb6 across a 3b9f99a9b3 narrow table. As the doctor prepared 4931c4ef4c for the blood draw 9342e25556 and dosage, Si-ron extended 9269697116 his arm, and the cab8cec7a9 doctor measured his blood 90955dafb8 pressure.964f0a0b6e80092a
