**A few years ago**
“You’re engaged?” a doctor said in surprise.
“Why are you so shocked, Sara?” Amelia asked with a laugh.
“You’ve never even mentioned your boyfriend before…” Sara replied with a confused face.
“Yes. Well…we’ve been engaged since we were born to be accurate. It’s just recently that we’re become really engaged,” Amelia said, sounding amused.
“Is it because of your father?” Sara asked, worriedly.
“I guess. Since dad passed away things have been…messy. Mother wants me to marry as soon as possible…” Amelia said, sounding carefree.
“Is that why you’re getting me to do all these tests on you? They’re worried you won’t be able to produce an heir or something?” Sara asked, quickly catching on.
“Haha…precisely. Fertility tests by one of the most popular gynecologists should put everyone at ease, right?” Amelia replied.
“I’ve been your friend for a long time, I know you’re just faking your excitement here, Amelia…” Sara said before sighing.
“Oh…how did you figure that out? Well, I always knew that my family would marry me off to someone of their choice. Nothing much I can do about that so I might as well enjoy my freedom while it lasts…” Amelia replied.
“You’re one chatty patient…” Sara commented.
“It’s weird to be having this conversation when you’re looking in between my legs, huh?” Amelia asked with a small giggle.
“We need to wrap this up soon. There’s an exhibition at the hospital today and I have to attend,” Sara said, sounding very bored.
“Any hot doctors around that I can hit on?” Amelia asked excitedly.
Sara rolled her eyes. She couldn’t tell whether Amelia was serious or if she was just joking.
“…Amelia…you’re about to get married…” Sara reminded her sternly.
“Precisely! My days of freedom are numbered, you know?” Amelia exclaimed.
Amelia smiled radiantly at her friend as her friend shook her head in disapproval. Although these two women had complete opposite personalities, they had remained close friends over the years.
“So…can I come along?” Amelia asked excitedly.
“It’s a public exhibition so I can’t stop you from coming…” Sara mumbled.
“Music to my ears,” Amelia said.
…
After wrapping up Amelia’s case, the two women headed to the exhibition hall in the hospital. Amelia walked excitedly at Sara’s side.
“Can you act normal please? You’re attracting a lot of attention…” Sara whispered to her friend.
“I thought you would be used to it by now,” Amelia said without a care.
“Well…you haven’t been around for a while…” Sara replied as she tried to keep her eyes looking straight ahead.
“That’s because you’re always so busy with work. Doctor life is so busy…” Amelia said with a pout.
