Nicole's expression turned grave and she was in complete shock.
Despite being such a high ranking officer in the world's number one country, during the time of distress, she was no different than any ordinary person.
"Calm down," Alex looked at her and said in a soft tone. "I said I suspect. I didn't say I am sure of it. So relax, take a deep breath, and look at me."
Nicole had a pained expression on her face. But she was a mature and strong woman. She wiped away the worry from her face and did as Alex asked her to do.
Once she seemed to have calmed down, Alex said, "Good. Now, instead of dropping me downtown, let's visit a hospital and get you checked. If nothing's wrong, we should be done in a few hours."
Nicole nodded her head. "Take me wherever you want, I'll clear up my schedule for the next three days."
"Alright," Alex agreed and drove Nicole's car to the nearest hospital.
Once the two reached, before Nicole got out of the car, Alex held her hand, surprising her.
Alex pressed on her palm with his thumb and looking into her eyes, said softly, "Miss Nicole… do not panic, okay?"
Nicole blinked her eyes dumbly and stared at Alex. What he was doing now was treating her like a child, and this was really weird.
Not because as a grown thirty-one years old adult she was being treated like a child, but because she actually felt quite comforted by his gestures.
Never in the world would anybody be able to imagine that the people at such a high position and power could also have interactions like this.
Nicole looked at Alex and just nodded her head lightly. She was in no mood to tease him or act playful.
Alex nodded back and the two left the car, going towards the reception.
Massaging someone's palm and talking to them gently during their moment of distress was a great way of distracting as well as providing light stimulations to ease their anxiety.
Fingertips and the overall palm has many nerve endings and is a great source to get some quality stimulation without getting too touchy with someone.
This wasn't a skill taught in med school, but one could easily decipher it if they paid enough attention in class and did some logical thinking.
Going to the reception, Alex talked to the receptionist about wanting to see a gynecologist while Nicole just stood behind Alex, slightly nervous.
It wasn't normal for her to act like this, but being told she may have cancer, it wasn't the best of the feelings in the world.
The receptionist told Alex that a doctor is there and that he and Nicole would need to wait.
Alex urged that it was urgent and he needed to see one immediately.
The receptionist shook her head and said it wasn't possible.
"Miss, I am a doctor myself, a surgeon to be precise. I need to get this lady checked immediately. Please understand," urged Alex in a calm yet hurried tone.
The receptionist was surprised hearing that. No doctor comes to the desk like this and says such a thing.
"Can I see your ID?" The receptionist asked.
This question made Alex realize he didn't have the doctor prefix in his name because he was yet to get his degrees from the college and an official license to practice.
Alex shook his head to the receptionist and said, "I didn't bring my ID, but…"
Alex asked for Nicole's phone and she gave it to him.
Alex opened the article showing him becoming the youngest neurosurgeon and he showed it to the receptionist.
As the receptionist had a look at it, she was surprised as well as somewhat sceptical.
She searched the same things on her phone and found the exact same article everywhere, realizing that in front of her was indeed the youngest neurosurgeon in history.
The receptionist's heart started beating crazily and she turned fidgety.
"P-P-Please wait a second," she said and immediately dialed a number.
The receptionist talked about the urgency of the matter and after getting a response, cut the call and said to Alex that he could go see the doctor.
However, before he left, she handed him a pen and a paper and said with a nervous smile, "S-Sir, can you please sign this?"
Others may not understand the value of Alex, but the ones in the medical fields did.
It was due to such reasons that this receptionist immediately started fangirling over Alex.
Nicole noticed this and shook her head with a sigh. People really favored celebrities, it seemed.
Just one call from Nicole could've made the doctor come running to her, but since she was with Alex, she let him handle everything and do what he seemed fit.
As of this moment the Director of the FBI was acting like a child who was being taken to the doctor by her mother.
Nicole had no idea about her own body whatsoever, but she could somehow tell that Alex knew everything and completely trusted him, even though they had just met.
Part of the reason for such trust was him knowing about her sister, even though it was just a little.
ραndαsnοvεl.cοm The two walked to the gynecologist's examination room and met the lady doctor.
Alex and Nicole sat down in front of her and smiling, the doctor said, "Hello, Dr. Alexander Gray. Happy to see you in person."
Alex smiled back and did a light nod. "Doctor, although I am well versed with gynaecology as well, since I am not licensed for it, I'd like your consultation on Miss Nicole's problem here."
The doctor nodded lightly. "No worries, I'll examine Miss Nicole."
The doctor then got up and gestured to Nicole to get seated on a bed where she could be examined.
"Doctor, I'll have to ask you to stay seated while I do my examination," the gynaecologist said.
Nicole felt slightly anxious to know Alex wouldn't be here, guiding this doctor through her problem.
She was also slightly worried that she'll need to answer everything the doctor asked and it wouldn't be Alex saying things for her.
Alex could see Nicole's worry and although it felt somehow weird to stare at a stranger's boobs as a married man, as a doctor, he felt it was only natural he stayed with her till the end since he was the one who diagnosed her problem first.
Alex asked the gynaecologist, "Can you please let me help you? I am sure Miss Nicole would feel more comfortable with me being around."
The gynaecologist put her glasses down slightly and looked at Alex. "Dr. Gray, I am sure you understand that this would be invading a patient's privacy, right?"
"I consent. Let him stay," Nicole spoke for the first time after they got out of their car.
"Well…" the gynaecologist put her glasses back on and wore her gloves. "If the patient doesn't have any problem, Dr. Gray can help me out."
Alex nodded and he too wore gloves and went beside Nicole to examine her.
