Im really okay. Susan smiled but her eyes were not telling the same thing. She bitterly looked down and asked, Dr. Turner, do you think Im too fragile That I cant take such a small cut Like this?

Dr. TurnerIm sorry for startling you, Susan said in a hoarse voice as she wiped her tears.
No, you didnt. Dr. Turner returned the tissue and gradually realized that Susans tears were not due to the pain from her wound.
Miss Turner, is there something wrong?
You see. Susan bit her lower Lip and held her words.
Although he was curious why Susan cried, Dr. Turner was a well- mannered person. He didnt urge her to talk about it since she had not continued. He simply stood up and quietly poured her a glass of warm water.
Drink some warm water. Itll help you relax, he said.
