Niciun cuv\u00e2nt nu ie\u0219i.<\/p>\n
Daniel fu primul care reac\u021bion\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Emilia… tata?<\/p>\n
Am privit din nou fi\u0219a.<\/p>\n
\u00cen momentul acela nu mai eram logodnica lui.<\/p>\n
Nu eram femeia pe care mama lui o umilise.<\/p>\n
Eram medic.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Situa\u021bia este grav\u0103. Investiga\u021biile indic\u0103 o problem\u0103 major\u0103 la nivelul aortei \u0219i trebuie s\u0103 intervenim urgent.<\/p>\n
Barbu\u021ba p\u0103li.<\/p>\n
\u2014 O s\u0103 tr\u0103iasc\u0103?<\/p>\n
\u2014 O s\u0103 facem tot ce este posibil.<\/p>\n
\u00ce\u0219i duse m\u00e2na la gur\u0103.<\/p>\n
Apoi spuse ceva ce nu m\u0103 a\u0219teptam s\u0103 aud:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Vreau alt chirurg.<\/p>\n
Daniel se \u00eentoarse brusc spre ea.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mam\u0103!<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu pentru c\u0103…<\/p>\n
Vocea \u00eei tremura.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dup\u0103 tot ce i-am spus… cum pot s\u0103-i cer s\u0103…<\/p>\n
Am \u00een\u021beles.<\/p>\n
Nu se \u00eendoia de competen\u021ba mea.<\/p>\n
Se temea c\u0103 eu nu voi putea separa lucrurile.<\/p>\n
M-am apropiat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Doamn\u0103 Popescu, so\u021bul dumneavoastr\u0103 este pacientul meu acum. Ce s-a \u00eent\u00e2mplat ieri nu intr\u0103 cu mine \u00een sala de opera\u021bie.<\/p>\n
Ochii i se umplur\u0103 de lacrimi.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dar eu…<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dac\u0103 exist\u0103 timp \u0219i un alt chirurg disponibil care poate prelua cazul \u00een siguran\u021b\u0103, discut\u0103m op\u021biunile. Dac\u0103 nu, prioritatea mea este tat\u0103l lui Daniel.<\/p>\n
At\u00e2t.<\/p>\n
Nu era momentul pentru lec\u021bii.<\/p>\n
Opera\u021bia a durat ore.<\/p>\n
Nu a existat nimic poetic \u00een ea.<\/p>\n
Nicio privire dramatic\u0103 prin geamul s\u0103lii.<\/p>\n
Nicio r\u0103zbunare.<\/p>\n
Doar o echip\u0103 concentrat\u0103, decizii medicale luate rapid \u0219i un pacient aflat \u00eentr-o situa\u021bie critic\u0103.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd, \u00een cele din urm\u0103, am ie\u0219it, Daniel se ridic\u0103 primul.<\/p>\n
Barbu\u021ba aproape c\u0103 se \u00eempiedic\u0103 \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103 ajung\u0103 la mine.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Emilia?<\/p>\n
Mi-am scos masca.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Opera\u021bia s-a \u00eencheiat. A fost dificil\u0103, dar tat\u0103l lui Daniel este stabil \u00een acest moment. Urm\u0103toarele ore r\u0103m\u00e2n foarte importante.<\/p>\n
Daniel \u00eenchise ochii.<\/p>\n
Barbu\u021ba \u00eencepu s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mul\u021bumesc.<\/p>\n
Am \u00eencuviin\u021bat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Echipa a f\u0103cut o treab\u0103 extraordinar\u0103.<\/p>\n
Ea m\u0103 privi c\u00e2teva secunde.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu. Vreau s\u0103-\u021bi mul\u021bumesc \u021bie.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Atunci mul\u021bumi\u021bi-mi ca medic. Restul \u00eel discut\u0103m alt\u0103dat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Richard a petrecut c\u00e2teva zile la terapie intensiv\u0103.<\/p>\n
Evolu\u021bia lui a fost bun\u0103.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd starea i-a permis s\u0103 vorbeasc\u0103 mai mult, Daniel i-a povestit ce se \u00eent\u00e2mplase la brunch.<\/p>\n
Richard m-a privit lung.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Barbara chiar \u021bi-a dat o carte de bucate?<\/p>\n
Am z\u00e2mbit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Da.<\/p>\n
\u00cen ciuda durerii, \u00eencepu s\u0103 r\u00e2d\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dumnezeule.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Richard…<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu, Barbara. Este \u00eengrozitor.<\/p>\n
Apoi se uit\u0103 spre mine.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u00cemi pare r\u0103u c\u0103 nu am observat.<\/p>\n
Acea scuz\u0103 a \u00eensemnat pentru mine mai mult dec\u00e2t credea.<\/p>\n
Pentru c\u0103 problema nu fusese niciodat\u0103 c\u0103 familia lui Daniel credea c\u0103 eram asistent\u0103.<\/p>\n
