"I'm here to visit you," Andrea replied.
'A visitor?' Kaia wondered. Almost everyone in the city knew she was hospitalized, but not the specific hospital, let alone the exact ward. So, this must be someone from the academic circle, or perhaps the granddaughter of one of the professors.
"Dr. Bennett? Dr. Bennett? Are you asleep? If you are, I can wait," Andrea asked, sounding cautious.
"Come in," Kaia replied casually.
Overjoyed, Andrea pushed the door open and stepped in.
The next second, she froze.
"Kaia? What are you doing here? Where's Dr. Bennett? Isn't this supposed to be her room?" Andrea blurted out, totally thrown off.
Kaia, equally surprised, looked at her. She had assumed the visitor was someone from the science community. She didn't know how Andrea found her ward.
And from Andrea's tone, it was clear she hadn't connected her to Dr. Bennett at all.
That wasn't surprising. Andrea had always looked down on her. Even when Kaia became the city's top scorer on the SAT, Andrea still saw her as a crude country girl.
"Why do you care why I'm here? The real question is, what are you doing here?" Kaia shot back.
Andrea's eyes darted around the room, but she didn't see anyone who looked like Dr. Bennett.
She asked, "I came to visit Dr. Bennett. Isn't this her ward? Why are you here?"
Kaia took a banana from the fruit basket by the bed, peeling it slowly. "Who said this is Dr. Bennett's ward?"
"This is your ward?" Andrea now suspected as much. But Lenka wouldn't lie to her.
"If you already know it's my ward, why aren't you leaving? Do I have to kick you out?" Kaia said lazily.
Andrea retorted, "Who wants to stay here anyway? I came to see Dr. Bennett, not you!"
Andrea spun around and walked out. She would have to ask Lenka what was going on.
As she thought this, she saw Lenka walking toward her.
"Out so soon? Did it work? Did Dr. Bennett agree to take you into the research institute?" Lenka asked eagerly.
Andrea was burning up inside, dying to go off on Lenka, but she forced herself to keep it together.
She said, "I went in, but the person inside was not Dr. Bennett. Did you get the wrong room?"
"No way. You went to 308, right?" Lenka looked puzzled.
Andre said, "The person in 308 is not Dr. Bennett. It's someone else."
Lenka frowned. "Impossible! Dr. Bennett is in 308. I couldn't be mistaken. Wait. Since you don't know what she looks like, how can you be sure it wasn't her? Maybe you're mistaken?"
Andrea held back an eye roll. "If it were a stranger, I might doubt myself. But the person inside... Do you know who she is?"
"Who? Someone you know?" Lenka was even more confused.
Andrea replied, "Of course I know her, and you've heard of her too."
Lenka frowned. "I have?"
Andrea said, "My country-bumpkin sister. The one whose bad reputation is all over lately! The one our family kicked out! It's her in there, not Dr. Bennett. Do you think I could be wrong about that?"
Lenka froze in realization. "So it's that bumpkin! The one from the countryside, the one kicked out a few days ago. But wait. How could she be in there? She… wait a minute!"
A thought struck Lenka, and her eyes went wide. "Your... that country sister of yours. What's her full name again?"
Andrea didn't understand why Lenka was suddenly stammering. "Kaia Bennett."
"Kaia! Kaia!" Lenka suddenly grabbed the patient registration form in her hand.
