LOGIN(Aliana's POV)My brows furrowed as I tried to understand what she meant by “bully.” Was she talking about what happened between Belicia and me an hour ago? Was that why she was here, and why she had pushed me like that?"Mind what you say, Mrs. Barrington. We won’t allow you to insult our employee," Fabian said through gritted teeth."Shut your dirty mouth!" Christine shouted angrily. "Do you even know what she has done?"She turned to me with irritation, pointing a finger straight at me. "This bitch here beat up my son’s girlfriend, simply because she’s finding it hard to move on!"The crowd gasped, their eyes widening in disbelief as they stared at me. So that was why she was here after all. Belicia had clearly fed her the same lies she had used years ago, and just like before, Christine believed her without question."Why are you obsessing over a man who doesn’t love you?" she continued. "My son loves someone else, and he already divorced you. Why can’t you accept that and move o
(Aliana’s POV)We left Delvin’s room and took the elevator to my office, but my mind didn’t calm down for even a second.It kept replaying everything that happened in his room, how I exposed Belicia today, and how Delvin insisted on having a conversation with me. A conversation that could reopen old wounds."Your two days off have been approved, Aliana," Fabian said quietly beside me, pulling me out of my thoughts.I blinked, refocusing, and looked up at him immediately. "Really?"He nodded with a smile. "Yes. Another doctor will cover your shift for those two days," he said.My heart pounded with excitement, and a wider smile spread across my face."Thank you so much," I said.I had requested a two-day leave to properly take care of myself.Ever since that accident, I had been feeling paranoid. I couldn’t even take elevators alone or walk anywhere by myself. I always felt like someone was watching me, like they could try to harm me again.But these two days off could help. I needed t
(Delvin’s POV)Aliana immediately tried to pull her hand away, but I held on tighter, making sure she could feel how fast my heart was beating. She had pretended not to notice it during the check-up, but would she still pretend now?"I know you can feel it too," I mumbled."Don't be ridiculous, Delvin. Let go of my hand," she said, struggling to free herself.I turned to the nurse and gestured for her to leave. I wanted only the two of us in the room. I needed to talk to Aliana, about everything, about what had just happened between her and Belicia.But the nurse only blinked in confusion. She didn’t move. Instead, she glanced at Aliana, waiting for her approval, silently asking if it was okay to leave."The check-up is over, and your work here is done, am I right?" I asked, my tone sharp."Uhm..." she stuttered."You may leave now," I said firmly, my tone final.The nurse bowed slightly and walked out of the room. I let out a breath and looked up at Aliana."Aliana, wait..." I whispe
(Delvin’s POV) I slowly took off my shirt and sat still on the bed as Aliana put on her gloves for the check-up. "Please lie back and try to keep your body relaxed," she said, her tone steady and professional. I did as she said, leaning back slowly on the bed and trying to calm my nerves, just as she had instructed. But every attempt to stay relaxed failed. It felt as if a storm was raging in my chest. My eyes were full of sadness as I stared at her, but she didn’t even lift her head to look at me. She kept a straight face, her eyes calm and unreadable, as if nothing had happened just moments ago. >> "While you always saw her as innocent and took her side, she treated me just like this! Did you ever let me explain? And even when I did, did you ever believe me?" Her words kept echoing in my mind, tearing at my heart. Of course I remembered it all. How could I forget how many times I blindly took Belicia’s side? I had trusted her completely. I believed every word she sa
(Aliana’s POV)The video played everything exactly as it happened, without missing a single moment.The nurse stared at Belicia, disgust written all over her face. Belicia stood frozen, her eyes wide in shock, unable to believe what she was seeing. And Delvin… he just sat there, completely speechless."How cruel can she be?" the nurse muttered, still in disbelief. "She started it, and the moment we walked in, she acted innocent and claimed it was Dr. Hale who abused her."My jaw clenched tightly. I never thought a day like this would come... when I would have to relive my past like this."The only reason I’m doing this is to expose her manipulative behavior and how she has always bullied me in the past," I said, my voice tight."Always…" Delvin finally muttered, his face filled with disbelief.A faint smile appeared on my lips as I looked at him. "This scene must be very familiar to you, isn’t it?"Sweat formed on Delvin’s forehead immediately. Of course it felt familiar. This had hap
(Aliana’s POV)The door opened, but it wasn’t the person I was expecting. It was Belicia. She frowned in surprise when she saw me, but almost immediately, her eyes darkened."What the hell are you doing here?" she demanded.I let out a frustrated sigh. Why did it have to be now? I was already tired of this nonstop drama ever since they arrived at this hospital.She kept asking me that question as if she didn’t already know the answer. If she had a problem with why I was here, then she should go to management and have Delvin transferred to another hospital, or at least to another doctor."Don’t think you can ignore me today like you always do. Delvin isn’t here, and neither is anyone else. I can deal with you myself," she threatened, her eyes burning with anger.I still didn’t understand her problem. I was already out of Delvin’s life, so why was she still coming after me?"Don’t you ever get tired of this?" I asked."Tired?" she snapped. "Bitch, you stole my man from me!"I knew she l
(Aliana's POV)...... ONE YEAR LATER....The sound of the ambulance siren pierced the air, followed by the emergency team running toward it with fast, urgent steps.Someone was having an emergency.“Move out of the way!” someone shouted, his voice tight and urgent.“Out of the way now!” another voi
(Aliana's POV)I shut my eyes nervously, hoping that when I opened them, everything would fall back into place. Hoping this was just one of those painful dreams I used to have.But when I finally opened them, I realized it wasn’t a dream. The man lying in front of me was indeed him… Delvin Barringt
(Aliana's POV) Delvin’s expression changed for a brief second. His body went still. Then I saw it... something in his eyes. Maybe fear. Maybe sadness. I couldn’t tell. But almost immediately, his face hardened again. His eyes became cold, and his chest rose and fell quickly. “What did you just s
(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 comp
