After coming from the precinct, I went straight to the hospital. Josiah immediately approached me to ask what happened."Stella mentioned to me that you are from the precinct. How are you? Have you talked to your dad's twin brother?" Josiah immediately asked me.I nodded and sighed."Yup. I have also introduced them to Tito Adler, and we still get to know him," I answered.Josiah nodded at me before he fixed his laboratory coat. He was about to speak, but he turned his gaze behind me, which made me frown, and looked at it.I saw Stefan approaching us; that's why I held my breath."I'll just check on some of my patients. I'll come to your office later," Josiah said, then immediately left.I panicked for a moment because I didn't expect him to leave right away, but I calmed myself down."Doc Eli," Stefan called me.I kept looking at him, and I could see the doubt in his eyes, as if he wasn't sure if he should approach me now.I cleared my throat and stood properly before I spoke."Mr. E
"Come on, Eli. Tell me the truth. I won't be angry if you and Stefan get back together again," Josiah scolded me.I sighed and raised an eyebrow at him. I told him earlier that Stefan and I didn't get back together, but he didn't want to believe that."Stop it, Jos. We just talked. That's it," I answered him.We are now walking to a restaurant near the hospital. As usual, even when I'm outside, I know there are bodyguards following me. It was already dinner time, so we decided to eat outside because we had duty all night."Talked? You said that you already talked. I've seen you two talking so many times that's why you can't use an excuse that word to me," he said one after another as if he didn't really believe what I was saying.I shook my head again because I didn't know how I could convince him that Stefan and I really just talked earlier."If you don't want to believe me, then you better ask him by yourself. We really just talked for our closure, and we also talked about the false
"Won't your boyfriend be angry? I can explain to Yasmin that you can't join us," Stefan said as we walked to Yasmin's hospital room.I shook my head and smirked a little because he really believed that Lance was my boyfriend."There's nothing to be angry about. Don't mind about it, Stefan. It's okay. I assure you," I told him, and he smiled.He sighed and shook his head at me, as if I couldn't convince him that it was all right for me."I just don't want you to fight because of this," he answered when we finally entered Yasmin's room.I saw Yasmin's frown when she looked at us; that's why I smiled at her, because she seemed to have heard the last thing Stefan said."Get angry? Who gets angry? Is your mommy taking you away from us, Doc?" Yasmin asked one after the other.I quickly shook my head at her and looked at Stefan, who led me to walk. He immediately went straight to the table and put the paper bag he was carrying there."No, it's not her mother, Yasmin. I just said that, becaus
I exhaled the last smoke I smoked from the cigarette I was holding while looking up to watch the stars. I looked down at the cigarette I was holding and then shook it before sighing. I immediately looked for the trash can to throw it there. I'm not overthinking but I'm just very stressed right now and I think that's the only way to reduce the stress I'm feeling right now. I lost one of my patients today. I did everything I could but there was nothing because that was all his life could handle. As a doctor, it is very heartbreaking to lose a patient, I feel that I have not fulfilled my duty. Add to that the feeling of parents losing their child. It's so heartbreaking and I know the feeling of losing a child because I've experienced something like that.I took a deep breath and immediately went straight to the trash. I'm out of the house today because I don't want to spoil my sister's party. I left my friends there for a while because I also wanted to be alone."Don't blame yourself,
I rolled my eyes when I saw Josiah smiling while waving at me outside the classroom. I wanted to go home a while ago because my friend was still teasing me from the outside. We were supposed to go home a while ago, but one of my subjects took a make-up class so we don't have to go to class with her on Saturday. My gosh! Why does it seem like we owe her that, she was the one who didn't come in with us the day before. "To those students who have already done with their quiz, you can go now," It was like I was revived when I heard my professor say that. I quickly put my things in my bag and stood up to pass my quiz to our professor. "Thank you, Ms. Dela Peña," my prof said and then smiled at me. I just smiled and nodded before I left the room. Josiah immediately greeted me so I threw my bag at him."Ouch! Take it easy!" he complained. I grinned when I saw that he was shocked that I threw my bag at him but I didn't pay attention to that. "Where's Clara?" I asked him and started walk
I looked at myself in the big mirror in my room. I just finished fixing it in the dressing room here at home but I went back to my room so I could see myself better. I'm wearing a silver silky dress and it's backless. My three-inch heels are also silver and I only put a little jewelry on my body. I don't want others to think that I prepared too much to attend the party that my Mom was talking about. I also don't want to look bad in front of many people, especially since my Mom will receive an award for our company.My friends called me a few times earlier, but as time went on, they didn't bother me anymore. Maybe they were too busy with the arrangements and maybe they thought that I wouldn't be there. "Sister, Eli! Is it true that Josiah will attend that party too?" Stella asked me when she suddenly entered my room.I looked at her and raised an eyebrow at her. When she saw my raised eyebrows, she sighed and did nothing but go out of my room again to knock. I grinned and shook my hea
I went outside to get some fresh air because I couldn't stand the scene right there. I don't understand why he wants to talk to me, even though we're not together anymore. Also, everything is clear to me. That's fine with me and I accept that he's dating someone now. I accepted it even though I was still hurt but there was nothing I could do because we both started to move on.Fortunately, I brought the wine I bought there. I'll just let my two friends look for me later but I think they won't look for me because they're busy with their crushes. Out of the three of us, I'm the only one who doesn't have a crush! Both of them should be ready when someone gets my attention."Hey,""Hey!" I almost shouted while still holding my chest because of the shock. "What the hell?!" I said indignantly when I saw who it was. I couldn't take back what I said because I was taken by surprise. I don't know what Stefan is doing here. I don't want to assume that he is following me here. "I'm sorry. I di
"Thank you,"I looked at Stefan who was smiling while staring at me. We were starting to dance now and I couldn't look directly at him. I'm still a bit annoyed because the few people who saw us, if they weren't teasing us, they were taking pictures of us. "This is gonna be yours last. Don't forget my condition," I said to him using my stubborn attitude toward him. He laughed so I didn't even look at him. I don't know what he ate. For sure he has been seeing me at school before and I just don't understand why he is paying attention to me now. "Oh come on, Eli. We just met and we're schoolmates. Why don't we try to be friends with each other?" he answered and asked me. "I already have friends," I answered him. "I know but I still want to be friends with you. Can we? Please?" He pleaded like a child."I'll think about it first," I answered him because I'm sure he won't stop me again. He was about to speak when Jackson suddenly appeared at our side causing Stefan and me to turn arou
