"Mum!" A tiny voice cut through the hospital ward, leaving a shocking expression on everyone's face.

"Get the scalpels, nurse Shane!"
"We are losing him! Check his blood pressure and make sure to pump the blood according to the time I told you!"
"Doctor Lisa, he is dropping!"
The theater was thrown into a frenzy as the doctors battled to save the life of the little boy who had a car accident. It took them more than three hours before they could revive him and finish the operation successfully.
"Damn! Such a tricky surgery! I am so famished I could eat a horse!" Lisa said, slumping down in her office chair.
She had to dodge the anxious looking parent of the boy who wanted to bombard her with questions. She needed to rest.
Shutting her eyes, she ran her hand through her golden wavy hair which she tied in a ponytail. She had discarded her operation gown so she could take a quick nap before going to the canteen to grab a bite.
Lisa brought out her purse to check the money left in it and she sighed, knowing that was the last money left with her. She was thinking if she should ask for an advance so she won't go broke all through the month.
"So much for this month! I wonder if Derrick had found a job already," she murmured to herself.
As she was thinking of what to do, a nurse came running to her office, looking anxious.
" Doctor Lisa! You are needed in the theater room! It's a critical condition!"
" Critical condition? What happened?"
" A little boy and his father were involved in an accident and the boy suffered a head injury. He needs an operation as soon as possible," The nurse said.
" Alright, I will be there. Get the necessary equipment ready," Lisa said, standing up quickly.
Although she was tired, saving a life supersedes everything. She picked up her coat and rushed out of the office to the surgery room.
Lisa and the other doctors were in the surgery room for more than two hours trying their best. Finally, they were through with the surgery and the lights to the operation room went off.
If words could describe tiredness, then the name Lisa would be the perfect description. She was damn tired and hungry! All she wanted to do was rush to her office to freshen up and then go to the canteen for a late night snack.
"Lisa, are you okay?" A male nurse asked, looking at her frustrated expression.
"Try not eating for fourteen hours amidst several hours of performing operations, then I am sure you will get the answer, Joe. Dammit! I am on the verge of breaking down!" She said, rolling her eyes.
Doctor Joe chuckled at her words before patting her shoulders," That's why you have me, sweetheart. I got a takeout in your office. So just freshen up and eat."
Lisa looked at him gratefully and she would have embraced him if she wasn't all sweaty." I owe you one, Joe"
Joe just smiled and turned around to leave. Lisa also decided to go to her office, luckily, there were no dramatic relatives of the person around.
But just as she turned around to leave, her eyes locked on a fierce looking pair of hazel eyes that seemed to bore through her. She scanned the person before her and noticed he had the most attractive features of the male species she had ever come across.
The perfect cheekbones and the face of a beauty god that could be mistaken for a Greek god. Amidst the plasters and bandages on him, he still looked dominant and cold.
There was something familiar about him that she just can't picture.
"My son... how is he?" His icy voice brought her back to reality.
"Your son?" Lisa asked, confused.
Then she began to connect the dots. No wonder he looked a little familiar. The little boy they just operated on was his son?
"Oh! He is out of danger and has been wheeled to the ICU. He will be awake anytime soon. You can go and meet him if you want" Lisa said, showing him the way to the ICU.
" Than... arrrgh!" The man was about to say something when he felt a sharp pain shooting through his head.
Lisa looked at him in concern." Are you alright, Mr?"
She was about to hold him when the man's glare stopped her. He waved her off as he struggled to walk to the place Lisa pointed to him.
Although Lisa saw that he was acting all arrogant, she knew he was in a bad shape too. Feeling hungry, she walked towards her office again so she could eat something.
She was about to enter her office when a nurse came running to her again.
"What is it this time around? I am not going to do any surgery until I have eaten!" Lisa said but the nurse shook her head.
"I am sorry, Doctor Lisa but this case is serious too. The two children are bleeding nonstop and..."
Lisa just sighed at her miserable life right now but as a pediatrician, she can't let her patients down. How could she let those adorable children go through pain?
" What's their age?" Lisa asked, following the nurse.
" Between nine and ten..." the nurse replied, filling her in on their information.
Lisa knew she was in for another round of surgery that might last for several hours!
*****
It's been roughly five hours at the surgical room. Lisa was so tired that she slumped down tiredly on her chair in the office. She rested for five minutes before going to freshen up.
She took out the take out that Joe ordered for her. It was already cold so she had to make do with the snacks inside. Just as she was munching on the food, her office door was pushed open.
"Not another surgery!" She said, looking at the nurse tiredly.
"That's not it, Doctor Lisa. The little boy we just operated on is awake and asking for his mother!" The nurse said.
"Awake? So soon? That's..."
"You have to go and check on him!" The nurse said, frantically.
Lisa followed the nurse to the ICU and true to get words, the little boy was throwing tantrums as he yelled for his mother. That was not good, it might lead to complications if he kept screaming.
She pushed open the door of the ward and saw the father trying to pacify the child. All the coldness and icy aura had all melted in the presence of his son. All that was on his face was helplessness.
She watched as his eyes only radiated love around the chubby angel. Just as she was thinking of what to do, the little boy raised his eyes and saw her standing at the entrance.
He squinted his eyes at her and his lips were pouted in an adorable pout. He blinked his eyes and the next thing everyone heard in the ward was his tiny voice, filled with happiness.
"Momma!"
His gaze never leaves Lisa. Was he calling her his mother?
