(Aliana's POV)

*Knock knock.*

A soft knock jolted me awake. I forced my eyes open even though they still felt heavy with sleep.

My head hurt and my back ached. I hadn’t had any proper rest, not after the surgery that lasted for hours, and not after the panic that rose in my chest when we faced complications during the operation.

I yawned repeatedly from exhaustion as the door slowly opened.

“Good morning, Doctor Hale,” the ward assistant greeted as she gently placed a cup of coffee on the table

    (Delvin's POV)I let out a soft sigh and forced my gaze away from the window as the door opened again. For a moment, I thought it was Belicia. She had run off earlier in tears.But it wasn’t her. It was one of the bodyguards stationed outside my door. I furrowed my brows as he approached. Did something happen? "Sir, I heard some disturbing news. Some nurses were whispering about it just now," he said, lowering his head."It’s about Madam Aliana," he added calmly.My heart skipped. What happened to Aliana?I had earlier instructed them to keep their ears open and report anything happening in the hospital to me, especially if it involved Aliana."What happened to her?" I asked quickly."I heard she was involved in an accident," he replied. "Someone deliberately pushed her down the stairs."My breath caught, and everything around me seemed to go silent for a moment."What?" I said, my voice coming out lower than I expected.Someone pushed her down the stairs? But she was just here a mom

  • Doctor, Please Be My Wife Again   Chapter 34: Who Did This?

    (Aliana's POV) For a moment, it felt like my soul left my body. I almost hit the floor when someone rushed forward and caught me. I fell into him with a hard thud, and we both collapsed to the ground. I shut my eyes tightly, my heart racing as my whole body shook from fear. If I had hit the stairs with that kind of force, I could have broken my ribs or even suffered worse injuries. "Hey… are you okay?" Fabian asked, his voice full of worry as he quickly checked me for any injuries. "Did you get hurt?" he asked again, gently cupping my cheeks. "Fabian…" I whispered, tears already filling my eyes. I turned to look up the stairs, to where I had been pushed from. But no one was there. Whoever did it had already run away. "Someone…" I swallowed hard, my voice trembling. "Someone pushed me down the stairs." "What?" he muttered, quickly looking up. His eyes scanned the area, sharp and alert, but there was no one in sight. Then he looked back at me. "Are you sure about this?" I nodde

  • Doctor, Please Be My Wife Again   Chapter 33: From Panic to Danger

    (Aliana's POV)"The next time you call me like this just because he asked you to, I will make sure you get sanctioned," I said to the nurse at the ward station."I’m sorry, Doctor," the nurse replied, lowering her head.She was the one who had called me earlier, saying Delvin was asking for me. She had even said it was urgent. And the way she sounded on the phone made me think it was an emergency.Knowing how important his recovery was, and since he had just been given a wheelchair today, I truly thought something had gone wrong.So I had excused myself from Fabian and rushed all the way here, only to find that Delvin was perfectly fine. There was no emergency at all. He had only called me for personal reasons.To make things worse, his lover, Belicia, had walked in at the worst possible moment. I didn’t care what they thought about me, but they had no right to drag me into whatever drama they were creating."Only call me when it’s an emergency. If it’s not, they should come to my off

  • Doctor, Please Be My Wife Again   Chapter 32: No Taking Sides

    (Delvin's POV)I sighed and rubbed my forehead. Why now? Why did she have to walk in at this moment, right in the middle of my conversation with Aliana?She had even seen Aliana sitting on my lap. Not that the situation was awkward, or that I cared about her seeing us like that. I just didn’t want her usual drama.Aliana’s expression didn’t change. She simply turned and started walking toward the door, completely ignoring Belicia."And where do you think you're going?" Belicia asked sharply, stepping in front of her and blocking her way."Belicia…" I called quietly, trying to stop whatever she was about to do.But she didn’t move out of the way. Not even an inch.I noticed Aliana’s lips twitch slightly, but she quickly pressed them together, holding herself back."Step aside," Aliana said. Her voice was calm, but the anger in it was clear."Not until you answer me," Belicia demanded, her tone challenging. "I want to know why you were sitting on his lap.""What are you doing, Belicia?"

  • Doctor, Please Be My Wife Again   Chapter 31: Unwanted Proximity

    (Delvin's POV)"Do I need to remind you we’re divorced now, and what I do is none of your business?" she said flatly.I went quiet for a moment, staring at her in disbelief. Her words echoed in my head, shaking something deep inside me.Why? How could she say that to me? How could she talk about our divorce so casually? It was as if she was completely fine with how everything ended between us."You don’t get to tell me what to do, who to be with, or when to be with them!" she continued, her voice sharp."And if this is why you called me, then excuse me. I have better things to do," she said and turned to leave."It was him, right?" I whispered, the words slipping out before I could stop them.Aliana stopped in her tracks and turned back to me. Her brows furrowed in confusion as she tried to understand what I meant."The man you left me for… it was him, wasn’t it?" I continued, trying to stay calm even though my chest burned.She stared at me in disbelief. "You’ve completely lost your

  • Doctor, Please Be My Wife Again   Chapter 30: Who Is That Man

    (Delvin's POV)Aliana was standing there, but she wasn’t alone. She stood just inches away from a man.The man wore a sharp, well-tailored suit. His hair was neatly styled, and his shoes shone under the morning light. His overall appearance was polished and expensive, almost identical to my own style.He looked about my age too, and I couldn’t deny that he was strikingly handsome. That meant Aliana clearly had a type.The man held her hand gently, looking into her eyes. His gaze dropped slowly to her lips, as if he might kiss her at any moment. And Aliana just stood there, smiling warmly… almost shyly.To anyone else watching, they looked perfect together, like two people deeply in love. But to me, the sight burned like acid in my chest."Who is he?" I asked, trying to stay calm, but my voice still came out rough.The workers blinked at me, clearly surprised by the question. I had heard them call him Director Fabian, but I needed to be sure he was actually a director in this hospital.
