Residing Dreams (Chapter 208)

As the afternoon rolled around,I walked down the grand hallway once again to Casimir’s room.Here and there, staff members bustled about,as they had when Mr. Chrysanthemum came home.But now,they seemed less excited.My surroundings gave me the same impression that a hospital would’ve,though they looked a bit different.Still,I could tell that there was sickness,gloom, and uncertainty.Those were three things which I associated with hospitals.When I knocked on Casimir’s door,I could hear voices on the other side. Perhaps a bit of whimpering too,though I wasn’t sure.A stocky man with glasses wearing a long white medical coat opened the door.I recongnized him as Casimir’s doctor.I didn’t know what to say.”Hello, I’m the girl who spent time with Casimir.My name is Essie.Do you remember me?I was just wondering if I could…if I could see him.Ms. Ledezma said maybe I could.Please?”I asked.The doctor sighed.”Now is not a good time.I am sorry for this inconvienence.You should not visit now,”he informed,ever so stuffily.
