It was funny how you usually don't realize how attached you are to something until you have to let it go.

Not that I didn't know I worked almost obsessively at that hospital, but I didn't realize how much I would miss the little things until I had to clean my office. I would be gone indefinitely and needed to make room for the new pediatrician Stefana was about to hire.

But it felt like I was tearing apart parts of myself as I removed my mother's portrait from my desk, the plant I watered every day, the little table ornament Isla had hand-made for me as a Christmas present…

With a sigh, I stopped packing things into boxes for a moment, simply sitting in one of the armchairs where my patients sat during their appointments. For the first time since Stefana had hired me as an intern at the hospital, that office was completely empty. It was ridiculous that I felt this way, because I would be back eventually.

Maybe it was just a momentary shock. Like leaning on a thin twig for a long time

  • Dear Ex-Husband, I'm Only Here to Save Your Son   Chapter 18 - Eden

    “That’s it, sweetheart.” Through the stethoscope, I could hear his heartbeat slow down little by little, as Theo’s small body relaxed “Take a deep breath with me, okay?” I inhaled as loudly as I could and, still hugging me, Theo did the same “Now, let go.”“That hurts,” he whimpered, but I was relieved to find his breathing had now steadied."Does it still hurt?" At my question, Theo seemed to think for a second, before hesitantly nodding his head. "That's good. That means your heart has calmed down too. Do you want to listen?" I removed the stethoscope from my ears, leaving the other end still pressed against his chest.“Can I?” His eyes lit up with curiosity, and in response, I just gently placed the stethoscope in his little ears, holding them there for just a second until his brow furrowed in strangeness “It’s gross. Why does it sound like someone is knocking on a door underwater?”“Well, that’s an excellent way to describe it.” I laughed “But oddly enough, that’s what all hearts s

    My voice catches in my throat as I watch Connor hold Jordan so tightly his feet are almost leaving the ground. The Connor I knew always had a hot temper, but nothing like this. It's as if, in the time we were apart, Jordan had transformed from his rival into his worst enemy. Damn, why did I so easily believe Connor wouldn't be here, since his son was too? Should I have been more careful and asked Stefana to prevent them from seeing each other at all costs? I knew it would be bad, but… nothing so drastic.Apparently, Theo thought the same, because I felt his little arms grip my leg tightly, as if he was as terrified of his father's reaction as I was.“Good to see you again, Connor.” Jordan said, before I could find my voice, and apparently he had a death wish, because that was nothing more than a mockery. “I always knew that someday the three of us would have a lovely reunion like this…”“You fucking son of a bitch…!” Connor shook him, his hands shaking as if they were itching to wrap

    I'd be lying if I said it was new to me seeing Jordan around. For the past five years, he'd been coming and going all the time, always finding a way to show up near my apartment or the hospital. Well, it wasn't like it was a secret where I spent my time.But it wasn't as if we'd become more than just old school colleagues, like we used to be. When my world fell apart because of that lie about Connor's project, Jordan had been supportive as soon as he found out. He offered to show me all the data he had on the person from whom he'd purchased the drug. It wasn't his fault, in fact. He didn't know. His father's company bought patents for drugs and medical devices all the time. He simply saw a good opportunity and seized it, unaware that Connor might be involved.I was so hurt at the time I even suspected him, but the moment he showed me the purchase process, I realized someone had used him as a scapegoat, just like me. He was helpful and let me dig for clues, even in some confidential in

    “And… I think that’s all.” Stefana’s voice spoke on the other end of the phone line, the sound of papers rustling with each word “With that, your patients for the next few months are officially reassigned. I’ll refer others seeking appointments to the new pediatrician I’m hiring. They have good references, at least. Worst case scenario, we’ll get someone to handle those children while you’re away.”"You're too hard on newbies." I laughed, waving to my building's doorman as I walked to the elevator "If he weren't anything less than excellent, you wouldn't even have read his resume to the end. I'm sure he's great. And, well, it's not like Theodore will spend the entire treatment locked in a room with me. When he's feeling better and can start exercising or going to school, I can see some patients in between. I know we have some important clients waiting, like the Vamcaps and now the Bianchi child…""No," Stefana cut me off, categorically "I'm already having enough trouble with Michael co

    “I can’t believe you’re actually going to move into the house of the man who abandoned you after your child’s death!” Claire grunted, slamming her mug against the hospital cafeteria's table a little too roughly.“I told you it was a bad idea to give her that news after a 16-hour shift.” Isla sighed at me, grabbing some napkins to clean up the coffee drops Claire had spilled."Believe me, I reconsidered many of my life choices after I went home to rest and realized what I'd done," I admitted "But at the same time, I'm no longer the girl Connor abandoned in that hospital room. I can't run from the past forever. Maybe this is the reality check I need to finally move on with my life. I know Connor will treat me like a two-faced traitor the entire time I'm at his house, and who knows... Maybe this is what I need to overcome the memories I have of him. To convince myself once and for all that the man I fell in love with no longer exists.""Bullshit." Claire rolled her eyes "You have no reaso
