last update Last Updated: 2025-09-22 05:31:44

Nicole’s POV

The moment he kissed me, I grabbed the opportunity. Somehow, this moment—me lying here on the bed with him while we talked—made me realize I was beginning to get attached to him. I wasn’t supposed to. Not this soon, not this easily. But there I was, leaning in. Even though I felt he was a little skeptical, like he was holding something back, I wasn’t letting this one slide like I did the first.

My lips pressed against his, harder, needier, almost like I was trying to prove somethin

  • Ex-Hockey Star Regret   Chapter 178 — The second result is out!

    Author's POVJust like Dr. Park had said that he would stay late to monitor the process, just to make sure that everything runs smoothly, he actually did.And with regards to that, he left very late, around 11pm or so.He'd checked the thermal cycler every hour, watched the DNA amplification progress, made notes and documented everything.By the time he finally left the lab, his eyes were tired. His back ached from sitting but he felt confident the process was running correctly.Meanwhile, Dr. Mitchell kept to her words and came in early the next day just like she said to her colleague, Dr. Park, the previous day.As early as 6:00am, she was already at work.The lab was quiet and empty at that hour, that it was just her and the machines in there.Just on getting to the lab, the first thing she did was turn on the lights and check the security log to make sure no one had accessed the lab overnight.Then she went to her workstation., powered on her computer and logged into the system.S

  • Ex-Hockey Star Regret   Chapter 177 — The back-up samples to be used for a conclusive result.

    Author's POVAt the laboratory section of the hospital, the medical laboratory scientists were doing their job.There were two professional medical scientists so that whatever they were doing would be more authentic, knowing what was at stake as instructed by Doctor Chen to them.Dr. Sarah Mitchell and Dr. James Park had been working together for over a decade and they knew the importance of accuracy. Especially in cases like this."Express service." Dr. Mitchell said, looking at the request form. "Paternity test. Mr. Pius Anders and Sophia Anders."Dr. Park nodded. "Twenty-four to seventy-two hours turnaround. Flagged as urgent."They both knew what that meant. Someone was paying extra for speed because the person needed answers fast.Upon arrival at the lab, the samples were accessed, and one vial went to the laboratory for immediate processing, while the other was sent to cold storage.Dr. Mitchell picked up the first vial. "Pius Anders. AB negative."She held it up to the light. T

  • Ex-Hockey Star Regret   Chapter 176 — The irony wasn't lost on me.

    Brad's POV"I learnt that some man donated his blood to me as the hospital ran out of the blood in their blood bank. Can I know or see who the man is, so that I can at least thank him? Not everyone would do that for me, you know."Just when everything was going down well, Nicole asked one question that for some reasons I didn't really want her to know about in the first place.Because I knew how twisted that could get her emotions on getting to know the answer to the question. Even though she had kept her voice casual, the question felt all off.Honestly, I could tell that the look on my face when she asked that question must have conveyed the information that there was something I didn't feel quite comfortable opening up to her about, no matter how much I tried to maintain a straight face.I felt my chest tighten and my hands went slightly clammy.How was I supposed to tell her this? How was I supposed to explain that the father of the girl who'd tried to kill her was the one who'd s

  • Ex-Hockey Star Regret   Chapter 175 — Who is the man who donated blood to me?

    Nicole's POVBy the time I finally opened my eyes from what seemed to be a long sleep, although the doctor said that I needed to sleep for just 2 hours, but I could bet that it was even more than 2 hours that I actually slept.My body felt kinda heavy, like I'd been underwater and was just coming up for air.I didn't check the time before I slept though but now that I had checked it as I took a glance at the clock on the wall, it was 6:43pm and I could say it has indeed been a long day because I left the house around 9am or so to pick my things.The last thing I remembered clearly was the doctor's face. His gentle voice when he told me to rest, and then nothing.Just darkness which seemed deep and complete.Just not long enough, the door creaked open and then just like the one that I had longed to see, Brad walked in with a fancy nylon he held in his hand.The moment I saw him, something in my chest loosened.I couldn't guess what was inside the bag he was holding but then, I could on

    Mr. Pius Anders POVDr. Chen moved to the side of Sophia's bed and started preparing to take her blood sample."Miss Anders, I need to take some blood for routine testing." He said professionally. "Just to check your levels after the transfusion."Sophia barely glanced at him as she had her eyes fixed on me.Waiting and hoping for something I couldn't give her anymore."Daddy, please. I know I messed up. I know I did something terrible but I can change and I promise that I can get better. Just give me another chance. I mean, this last chance."Another chance. Like I hadn't already given her a dozen chances before this.How many times had I heard those exact words? How many times had she promised to change, to do better, to be different?And how many times had she broken those promises?Dr. Chen wrapped the tourniquet around Sophia's arm.She winced slightly but kept talking."I wasn't thinking straight. I was angry and probably I was hurt. Brad chose her over me and I just... I lost c

  • Ex-Hockey Star Regret   Chapter 173 — Daddy, please forgive me.

    Mr. Pius Anders POVI followed the doctor to where my blood sample was taken which would be used for the DNA test.Dr. Chen led me down a quiet hallway. Away from the noise of the emergency room. Also, away from the officers and Detective Joe.We stopped at the same small exam room with plain white walls and a counter with medical supplies, where my blood sample was previously taken to know my blood type."Have a seat, Mr. Anders." Dr. Chen said, gesturing to the chair.I sat down, then rolled up my sleeve without being asked.Dr. Chen pulled on a pair of gloves and started gathering what he needed; a tourniquet, a needle, vials and alcohol swabs."This will only take a few minutes." He said.I nodded and watched as he wrapped the tourniquet around my upper arm. And then, pulled it tight."Make a fist for me."I clenched my hand and felt the pressure build in my arm.Dr. Chen tapped at the inside of my elbow slightly, obviously looking for a vein."Good vein here." He muttered.He tor
