Nightingale Syndrome

[Kris’ pov]

 

 

Vancouver, Canada

 

 

                So I’m going to be stuck in this hospital for the time being. How boring. Mom can only visit during visiting hours, what am I supposed to do after she leaves? I hate watching tv all day and I can’t go out because the media is spying on me. So I have no choice but to stay here in my room and entertain myself.

I’ve just been here in the hospital for 2 days and yet it feels like weeks. I have read every single magazine there is and I’ve already memorized tv program schedules. How boring. I can’t just sleep all day, I’ll get bed sores. I also finished every single level of angry bird with three stars. I’ve played every game and read stuffs on the internet.

How many more days do I have to endure?

Suddenly there was a knock on my door and a lady comes in while holding a clip board

“good morning Mr Wu, I’ll be your therapist for this shift. It is nice to meet you” she says and reaches out her hand for me to shake

Wow. She’s pretty and her voice sounds heavenly

“I will be briefing you of how our therapy will go, the activities we’ll be doing will help raise your stamina and…” I started daydreaming as I listened to her beautiful voice

“Mr Wu” she waves her hand to my face

“oh, sorry. Please call me Kris.” I say and smile at her

“our therapy will start after your breakfast. Have a good meal Mr Wu.” She says and leaves

I didn’t notice the food that she had laid out for me earlier. Man, I must be so lost a while ago.

She came back an hour later

“Good morning, Kris. Ready for your first session?” she smiles as she helps me up

“we’ll start with breathing exercises and then I’ll brief you again with the things you can and can’t do.” She smiles

 

 

 

[Your pov]

 

So, it’s been a few months since I’ve been moved to this hospital. My friends and I were lucky to be able to pass the qualifications to work here as a therapist.

“are you sure you’re staying?” your friend asks you

“yes, I’m staying” you sigh

“why?”

“there’s this high profile celebrity or something that was assigned to me”

“who is he?”

“Kris Wu?”

“as in Kris Wu? K-R-I-S W-U ?”

“yeah, why?”

“oh my god. He’s very famous!”

“I never heard of him”

“are you living under a rock?” my friend gives me a look

“work is my life and I’ve been living under a rock ever since we graduated.”

“I need get you back to the society” she laughs

“HA HA.” I say “now go home. There are some leftovers in the fridge just heat it in the microwave. I don’t want you guys to burn down the apartment.”

“fine. bye” she waves

“bye. Drive safe okay?”

I wave back and turn

“back to work” I whisper to myself

 

“hey” our chief therapist calls me

“yes, ma’am?” I halt

“starting your rounds?” she smiles at me

“yes, ma’am” I smile back

“you don’t have to do that.”

“why, ma’am?” I’m confused

“your patient, Mr Wu asked me to assign you as his personal therapist for the time being”

“but doesn’t the rules say that that therapist should handle at least 5 patients?”

“yes, I said that to Mr Wu but he insisted that he should be your only patient. He’s even willing to pay 5x the payment you should receive”

“isn’t that too much?”

“I’m as surprised as you are”

“go to Mr Wu now. He needs company”

“how many break hours do I get?”

“you ask him” the chief therapist pushes me

Great.

 

 

 

[Kris’ pov]

There’s a knock on the door.

“come in” I say

“good morning, Mr Wu. I have heard about your request” she approaches me

“and your answer is?”

“are you sure you want me?... I mean to be your personal therapist?” she looks at me

My heart skipped a beat. Of course, I want her, ever since the first time she entered my room.

“okay” I almost didn’t hear her whisper.

 

 

 

[Author’s pov]

She always kept Kris accompanied. She walk take him for walks out to breathe some fresh air. She was doing her job. She took care of Kris until he was better. But what she didn’t know Kris has fallen for her.

“have you ever been in love?” Kris asks her as they were walking

“yes, I have” she smiled

“what happened?”

“I never confessed” she laughed

“why?” Kris was curious

“I didn’t want to get hurt and be rejected” she smiled

“love is about taking risk” he looks at her

“maybe next time” she whispers

 

 

2 weeks passed and Kris was ready to be discharged.

 

“I’ll miss you accompanying me” Kris says to her

“I’ll miss you too” she says and hugs Kris “bye” she whispers

“bye” Kris whispers back

 

 

Another week passed.

 

She missed him. She missed Kris.

She finished her nightly rounds and went back to her station and was surprised when there was a bouquet of red roses on her desk.

There was a card

I missed you so much was written on it.

Then, someone from behind her faked a cough and she turned

“Kris” she whispered

“Hi” was all he said and hugged her

“I missed you too” she whispered.
