CHAPTER TWELVE

Lana and Jessica headed toward Dr. Zachary Foster’s office. Jessica wasn’t sure she was ready for the office call. All of her results had been sent over for him to review. He should have a solid plan of treatment ready for her to consider. Her gynecologist had been concerned about how large the tumor had become, but hadn’t been willing to offer a full prognosis. He wasn’t an oncologist and didn’t want to be wrong in his assessment. That hadn’t left her with a warm fuzzy feeling when she’d left Dr. Albright’s office.

They were almost to Dr. Foster’s when she heard her name being called. Jessica stopped and turned to see who was trying to gain her attention. She almost groaned aloud when she noticed the woman waving at her. Imogen Duncan strolled over to their side.

“I haven’t seen you in a while. How are you doing?” Imogen asked. “I’ve been worried about you ever since you were in Dr. Albright’s for your yearly exam.”

“She’s fine,” Lana said. “We’re busy. Go find someone else to bother.”

Jessica was taken aback by the vehemence in Lana’s tone. Imogen must really push her buttons for her to be so harsh. She didn’t take any crap from anyone as a rule, but usually wasn’t rude to that extent. What could she have against Imogen?

“We really have to go,” Jessica said apologetically. “I’m running late for my appointment.”

“Don’t offer her any excuses. It is none of her business.”

“We don’t have to be...”

Lana held up her hand. “Don’t say it.”

Imogen stared back and forth between them. “Don’t worry about it, Jess. We can talk later. It was nice seeing you.”

“Um, yes,” Jessica replied. “Another time.”

Lana glared at Imogen and then turned toward Jessica. “Let’s go.”

Jessica frowned and followed after her. She had her own reasons for distrusting Imogen, and as soon as she had a spare moment she’d ask Lana what hers were. Imogen gave Jessica the creeps. There was something off about her. She couldn’t pinpoint what it was, but it was there. Imogen continued to stroll in the opposite direction. Jessica narrowed her gaze and studied her. Was her hair...blonder? No, it couldn’t be. That had to be her imagination.

They turned the corner and stopped outside Dr. Foster’s office. Lana pushed the door open and gestured for her to go inside. The room was empty, which she found rather weird. What were the chances he didn’t have any other patients? Jessica went up to the reception window and the nurse behind slid it open. “Yes,” she said.

“I have an appointment,” Jessica replied.

“Have you been here before?” the nurse said without bothering to look at her. When Jessica didn’t answer immediately she glanced up and lifted a brow. “Are you mute or deaf? Answer the question.”

Did the doctor have so many patients she didn’t recognize them? The nurse seemed rather rude... The nurse’s attitude didn’t leave a nice feeling inside of her, but what choice did she have? She had to find out what her next step was and that meant meeting with the doctor to discuss her options.
