147 Inside of Natalie’s Head

"Rose?" Natalie's voice was barely a whisper.

"Where's my wife's doctor, where's Jermy?" Alonso's tone was dry.

Rose remained as professional and composed as ever as her gaze shifted between Natalie and Alonso before settling on Alonso. "Doctor Jermy is out of town. I'll be taking over your wife's case from here."

Alonso took a shaky step back when Rose got closer to examine Natalie. "What happened?" she inquired retrieving a small flashlight from her pocket and inspecting Natalie's eyes.

"I… I was just packing, and then my stomach lurched and my head started pounding. My nose started bleeding and then I passed out."

Rose nodded with a calm and serious expression on her face.

"I've reviewed all your tests and scans, Natalie. Jeremy wanted to give you some time away from stress and see how the medication works, but I sought another medical opinion. You need to know exactly what's wrong with you so we can tackle it together," Rose explained.
