Camilla flinched slightly and shifted her eyes to somewhere in the distance.

“Yeah… he told me,” she muttered, tucking her hair behind her ear like it could hide the guilt on her face.

Jane let out a sigh and held her hands, “Cam,” she said in a light tone, “how many times do I have to say it? You don’t need to feel guilty for dating Samuel.”

But Camilla still couldn't look at her. She just kept walking in slow steps.

Eight years. It had been that long, and still… still, she couldn’t fully meet Jane’s eyes whenever Samuel’s name came up. Everyone talked about how the families coped in their own ways after the incident. But no one ever talked about the guilt and helplessness that bled into the lives of two best friends – the best friend of the victim, who couldn’t protect her, and the best friend of the abuser, who couldn’t stop him.

Samuel had been the first to reach out to her and Camilla was stunned by his audacity.

Adrian’s best friend. The same Adrian who had abused Jane. That ta

    As she stepped out, a wave of relief washed over her. At least Aaliya would be there too.“Did you talk to Dr. NV?” Jane turned back, startled to find Aaliya standing right behind her, already reading her expression.Jane nodded. “Yeah.”Aaliya gave her a knowing look, a half-smile tugging at her lips. “Well, it’s not all bad. Kind of feels like med school again. Fieldwork, patients asking weird questions…” She paused, noticing Jane was absent minded. She stepped closer and gave Jane an assuring smile. “Jane, no matter what, I’m with you. Always.”Listening to her, Jane let out a genuine smile..................................NEXT DAY“Are you sure this one?” Jane asked one of the team members, her eyes fixed on the big iron gate that read “Happy Home.”“Yes, ma’am. This one,” the man confirmed.Jane paused for a moment. She had been here three years ago with Camilla. She knew this shelter belonged to Samuel. And that meant… Her fingers tightened slightly around the bag she was hol

    “What?” Jane asked over the phone, clearly shocked from what she heard. “Are you sure?” she asked again, frowning deeper as she listened to the voice on the other end.Her feet slowed in the middle of the cafe, not really bothering about the eyes on her. Whatever she just heard was clearly unsettling.A moment later, her eyes landed on Ryan, who was now frowning slightly, watching her from the corner table.“Okay. I’ll contact you later. Just… don’t call me again unless I say so,” Jane said softly, trying to keep her tone neutral. She ended the call and tucked her phone into her bag, taking a deep breath before forcing a smile onto her face and walking toward him.“Hey! I know I’m really late. I hope you don’t mind. It’s been such a hectic day,” she said, her voice returning to its usual cheerful tone.“It’s fine. Take your seat,” Ryan replied with a smile, gesturing to the chair across from him.“Where’s your girl?” Jane asked with a teasing grin, raising an eyebrow at him.Ryan loo

    As Jane walked, she glanced at the ring on her finger. Adrian had been so lost in thought, he probably didn’t even notice she wasn’t wearing it on her ring finger.Samuel had told him about her engagement with Ryan… but maybe even he didn’t know it had been called off.When Adrian congratulated her, Jane hadn’t corrected him. The pain in his face gave her a strange satisfaction. Call her twisted, but seeing him broken like that gave her a sick pleasure she couldn’t deny.She knew it wasn’t right. As a doctor, she shouldn’t have spoken to him that way…especially not after his brain surgery, just a month ago.But Adrian wasn’t just her patient. He was her tormentor. Her abuser.In her twenty-nine years of life, Jane had seen enough. She knew Adrian truly felt guilty and ashamed. And that confession, that vulnerability, gave her a peace that no punishment ever could.How could she forget those nights she felt broken, vulnerable and helpless?Even after building a career on her own, her c

    Jane turned around slowly.It was HIM! ….. Adrian Alan Johnson.He stood a few steps behind her, a little out of breath, with shirt slightly creased and dark circles settled under his eyes. Adrian looked at her for a whole minute without saying a word. After eight long years he was facing her again. Jane noticed his expression but didn’t move. Neither did she lower her eyes. She kept staring back with a steady, cold, and unreadable gaze.“What do you want?” Jane finally asked, her voice sharp and dripping with venom, “ What exactly were you trying to do in my hospital, huh? Don’t even think about pulling any move. I’ll shout, and the public will be here in seconds.”Adrian blinked, a little taken aback, as if he hadn’t expected her to speak like that. But then he gave a dry, lifeless laugh.“Then shout, if that makes you feel better,” he said quietly, lowering his eyes. “Someone who has already been to jail for seven long years doesn’t have any dignity left to be bothered about.”Hi

    8 years later,Jane let out a sigh and sank herself into the chair. The air conditioner was running at full blast, but somehow it still didn’t feel enough. The day had been so hectic. Well, hectic but peaceful. She worked so hard for years to earn this. Jane opened her lunchbox and frowned a little. The familiar smell of cheese sandwiches filled her nostrils. Her favorite. This must be him, she thought with a small smile.She hardly took a bite when someone suddenly pushed open the door and rushed in."Dr. White, you need to assist Dr. Roy immediately. There’s an emergency accident case.""Oh! Coming in two minutes," Jane said, standing up quickly. She left the lunchbox half open on the table and grabbed her apron and stetho before hurrying out the door.Reaching Dr. Roy’s chamber, Jane knocked lightly as she entered."Dr. Roy," she said, catching her breath, "I heard there’s an emergency case?""Ah, Dr. White, yes," he replied, adjusting his glasses. "A patient was found unconscious
