“Well…” Stefana grumbled the moment Jane slammed the office door shut “It wasn’t as bad as it could have been.”

“This…” I tried to speak, but the lump in my throat seemed to have grown too big to allow it.

“If you’re about to faint, lie down and elevate your legs quickly.” Dr. Kowalski said, pulling the pen out of her hair so she could scribble something on her clipboard “You need to control yourself. You still have a shift ahead of you.”

“Why…?” there were a hundred things I could ask, but my confused mind chose the least relevant one “Why did you never tell me you were Jane’s mother?”

I didn’t know much about the Ellison’s divorce other than the fact it had been bitter. Jane hadn’t been much more than a baby at the time, so when she’d started hanging out at Connor’s house, her mother had never really been around.

It wasn’t until that day I realized I’d never even heard her name. It was like she was a ghost, an enemy whose existence couldn’t even be mentioned.

And apparently, she ha

So, Theo is probably her "daughter" or the son of his dead brother...

    “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 c

    “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

    I was really ashamed of myself for reacting that way, but the instant Theodore's eyes turned to me and I saw that shade of blue again, I froze.God, maybe I really should think twice before taking this job.“Go away!” Theodore whimpered, immediately pulling away from my mother. “I don’t want to be your friend anymore! You’re going to leave me too!”“Theodore…” for a moment, I didn’t even know what to say to him and just stood there, thinking about what options I had.Wouldn't it have been better if I just left right then? That little boy clearly had too complicated a family already for me to make his routine even more difficult. God knew, if I actually moved into Mycroft Mansion during his treatment, he'd be forced to listen to countless fights between his grandfather and father because of me. Perhaps, in the end, I'd only worsen his condition, rather than improve it.I would always be grateful for Stefana's trust in me, but sometimes I had to remind her, and myself, that I wasn't a

    “You son of a…!” Michael was the first to react, lunging forward to grab his son’s shirt tightly, as if Connor was about to throw himself off a building or something “Don’t you have any respect for yourself?! Or for your brother’s memory?! How can you so easily accept having that woman around again…?!”“Unlike you, if Alex were here, he would do what’s best for Theodore, not himself.” Connor looked ready to push his father away, but took a deep breath at the last second, removing Michael’s hands from his collar, still somewhat roughly “I’ll do what’s best for my son, no matter what it costs me.”"You idiot! She betrayed your trust once! And now you want to put her near my grandson? Even knowing everything you know?" Michael shouted, furious "What do you expect to happen? Don't embarrass me, Connor! I raised you to be a real man, not some stupid brat who'll let himself be convinced again by a gold digger! What kind of example do you think you're setting for your son…?"“And what can you

  • Dear Ex-Husband, I'm Only Here to Save Your Son   Chapter 10 - Eden

    Michael Mycroft hadn't changed at all. I still hadn't gotten used to Connor's hatred because, for most of my life, he'd been the man I loved. And who, as far as I could tell, loved me back. My ex-husband had been cruel enough to create many fond memories in my mind, which made it all the more painful to know he was my enemy now.But, Michael? My only surprise would be if he'd stopped hating me after all these years.“So it’s true,” he growled, taking a step into the playroom, his eyes fixed on me as if I were a ticking time bomb, about to destroy everything around me. “She’s here.”“What are you doing here?” Connor grumbled, his expression turning frustrated, almost as if Theodore had been stubborn and turned back to the room “I thought I was clear when I said I was going to take responsibility for everything regarding Theo’s treatment…” he said that as he looked at Jane, a clear accusation in his tone.“I can’t believe that, after everything, you’re still subjecting yourself to being

    I really hoped that one day my body would stop reacting to Connor this way. Just one glimpse of him standing there and my stomach was in knots, my heart racing at the same time.I hated feeling cornered like that, frozen like a deer in headlights. It wasn't my fault. Connor was the one who wronged me, and it was unfair. But even so, just seeing that coldness in his eyes and knowing he still believed I could sell his project, even after we'd spent literally a lifetime together...This unsettled me in a way I probably wouldn't get over any time soon.“Theodore.” Connor finally spoke, causing Theo to immediately shrink into my lap. “What did I tell you about being around that woman?”“I don’t care what you say!” Theo grumbled, pretending to be brave. “You’re not the boss of me! Dr. Eden is my friend now!”“I’m sure she is.” Connor stared at me, so much disdain in his voice that anyone would think I was planning to kidnap his son or something. “Go outside. You can play later. I have somet
