Don't Call Me Your Wife, I'm Your Aunt Now Chapter 38 The Plane Goes Down
Elora's POVIt was six thirty in the morning at the airport in New York.Morning fog hung over the far end of the runway, and the sky was just turning a pale gray.Alexander had driven me to the airport himself and taken care of everything, even carrying my suitcases.After I checked my bags and got my boarding pass, he walked me to the security checkpoint for international flights.A big sign stood in front of the barrier. It read, "Ticketed Passengers Only Beyond This Point."Only when I saw that sign did it sink in. This goodbye was really happening, and an ocean was about to come between us.I thought I'd prepared myself, but when I met Alexander's dark eyes, my chest still ached.Before I could speak, Alexander stepped forward and pulled me into his arms.He held me tightly but carefully, and his familiar cedar scent wrapped around me.He rested his chin on top of my head and didn't let go for a long time."Text me when you land." His voice came from just above my head. "No matter
Don't Call Me Your Wife, I'm Your Aunt Now Chapter 37 Dinner Before Departure
Elora's POVThe day before my flight to Zurich, I was packing in my apartment.I was deciding which medical reference materials to bring when my phone buzzed on the couch.I looked over. Daniel's name was flashing on the screen.I hadn't talked to him since we signed the divorce papers at the law office.I answered. "What is it?"Two seconds of silence passed before Daniel spoke, sounding hesitant."Elora, you booked a flight to Zurich for tomorrow? Why are you leaving in such a hurry?"That caught me off guard. "How did you know?""The airline account you used is linked to my email," Daniel explained. "I was checking my inbox and saw the itinerary. That's how I found out."While I was blind, Daniel had set up many of my online accounts. Now that we were separating, I'd forgotten to unlink them from his email.I didn't want to explain, so I brushed him off. "Something came up. I need to get there early.""Can I at least drive you to the airport tomorrow?" Daniel asked.I turned him dow
Don't Call Me Your Wife, I'm Your Aunt Now Chapter 36 Zurich's Apology
Elora's POVSeeing me lost in thought, Professor Weber took out his phone and forwarded me the original email."Elora, this is the formal apology letter from the evaluation committee in Zurich. Take a look."I looked down at the screen. The carefully worded letter was in both German and English.It offered a formal apology for the irregular blackout test prompted by the anonymous complaint and ended with a sincere invitation.They hoped I could fly to Switzerland as soon as possible, accept their apology in person, and begin preparations for the next phase of my clinical fellowship.When I finished reading, I said, "Given how sincere they are, there's no reason to waste time."I opened the airline's booking page on my phone.I picked a flight leaving in three days, confirmed my information, and paid."Professor, I booked my ticket. I leave in three days on a nonstop flight from New York to Zurich."Professor Weber nodded. "Three days is a bit of a rush, but it's good to get there early
Don't Call Me Your Wife, I'm Your Aunt Now Chapter 35 Signing the Divorce Agreement
Elora's POVAs soon as I said it, Sophia took out the latest version of the divorce agreement and set it in front of Daniel.Then she summarized it."The division of property, the restoration of your control over your accounts and trust interests, the transfer of the apartment title, and the general settlement are all clearly laid out in the agreement."Daniel grabbed the papers and quickly scanned them.He focused on the settlement amount. Once he decided he could accept it, he turned the page and picked up a pen to sign.But when he got to the second page, he suddenly stopped."Both parties acknowledge that this agreement creates no obligation to remarry or resume cohabitation. Any future reconciliation shall be each party's independent decision."Daniel read the clause aloud. Then he looked up at me, confused."Elora, what's this supposed to mean? Didn't we agree we'd talk about that once things with the baby were settled?"I was about to answer, but Chloe beat me to it."Daniel..."
Don't Call Me Your Wife, I'm Your Aunt Now Chapter 34 None of Them Get Away
Elora's POVI turned my phone facedown on the coffee table and looked up at Alexander."I set up a meeting with Daniel. Today at ten, at Sophia's office."Alexander nodded. "Perfect timing."Nathan gathered the files from the table, stood, and nodded to us."Mr. Vance, Dr. Mitchell, that wraps things up. I'll get going."After Nathan left, Alexander and I took the elevator back up to the top floor.Just after we stepped off, Alexander said, "Elora, wait a second."I watched him go into his apartment. A moment later he came back out.He came back with a long navy velvet box and held it out to me. "Open it."I took the box and opened it.Resting on the velvet was a custom-made fountain pen, solid black and pleasantly heavy."An early divorce gift." Alexander held my gaze. "Use it when you sign today. End what needs to end cleanly."Warmth spread through me."You've put so much thought into this, so I'll accept it. When my divorce is final, I'll give you something too."A smile tugged at
Don't Call Me Your Wife, I'm Your Aunt Now Chapter 33 She Wrote the Anonymous Complaint
Elora's POVProfessor Weber's face darkened.Before he could say anything, Mr. Schmidt continued. "But we've reached our own conclusion."He picked up a pen and signed his name in the final decision box."Congratulations, Dr. Mitchell. You've passed the practical exam in minimally invasive cardiovascular surgery."The moment he finished, applause broke out in the observation area.Professor Klein came down the stairs and shook my hand himself."Dr. Mitchell, that was outstanding. Our program in Zurich welcomes surgeons as talented as you.""Thank you, Professor Klein."Then Professor Weber came over and began discussing my fellowship with Professor Klein.I didn't interrupt them. My attention shifted to Mr. Schmidt, who was packing his briefcase with his head down.I walked over to him."Mr. Schmidt."Mr. Schmidt looked up and stopped what he was doing.I looked him in the eye and asked directly."I want to understand how the anonymous complaint you mentioned over the speakers relates
