His Doctor Bride 223
Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty-ThreeAria stayed beside her father for a while after helping him sit, her attention fully on him as she reached for the glass of water on the table and handed it over. Her movements were careful, practiced, the kind that came from years of knowing exactly what to do in situations like this. But beneath that calm surface, something inside her had already begun to shift.“Drink slowly,” she said, watching him closely as he took a few small sips.“I’m alright,” he replied after a moment, though his voice carried a tired edge. He leaned back slightly, letting out a quiet breath before glancing at her again. “You worry too much.”Aria didn’t respond to that. She just adjusted the cushion behind him and reached for the small paper bag on the table, pulling out the medication inside. Her brows pulled together slightly as she looked at it.“These aren’t from your usual pharmacy,” she said, more to herself than to him.Her father followed her gaze and smiled fai

Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty-TwoBy the time Aria got home, the evening had settled into a quiet calm that usually brought her comfort. The street outside was familiar, the kind of place where nothing ever felt out of place, where routines stayed predictable and life moved in a steady, manageable rhythm.She stepped inside, closing the door gently behind her before slipping off her shoes. The house greeted her the way it always did—still, neat, unchanged. It should have felt grounding.But it didn’t.Her eyes moved instinctively toward the living room, then the hallway, then the small corner where her father usually sat after his evening walks.Empty.She paused for a second, her brows pulling together slightly.“Dad?” she called out, her voice carrying lightly through the house.No response.That wasn’t unusual. He often took his time during those walks, sometimes stopping to talk to neighbors or just enjoying the evening air longer than planned. But something about today felt… dif

Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty-OneThe day had stretched longer than usual, not because of the number of patients Aria had seen, but because of the quiet awareness that had followed her from the moment she stepped into the hospital that morning. It wasn’t loud or distracting. She didn’t make mistakes, didn’t lose focus, didn’t let it interfere with her work. But it was there, sitting somewhere at the back of her mind, steady and unshaken.Him.She didn’t look for him again after that moment in the waiting area. She didn’t need to. Something in her already knew he hadn’t left.And that alone was enough to unsettle the balance she had worked so hard to rebuild.By the time her shift ended, the sky outside had begun to soften into evening. The hospital slowly quieted, the rush of the day easing into something calmer. Aria finished up the last of her notes, her pen moving steadily across the paper before she closed the file and set it aside.For a second, she just sat there.Still.Then s

Chapter two hundred and twenty Aria didn’t avoid him.After that moment their eyes met across the waiting area, she finished what she had to do, moving from one task to another with the same steady rhythm she always carried. On the outside, nothing about her changed. She spoke to patients, gave instructions, signed off on files. Everything was done the way it always was.But somewhere beneath that calm, she was aware of him.Not distracted.Just… aware.Of where he sat.Of the fact that he hadn’t left.Of the quiet presence that didn’t try to interrupt her day, yet refused to disappear from it.When she was done, she closed the file in her hand and handed it over to the nurse beside her, giving a brief nod before turning toward the exit.She didn’t hesitate.Didn’t slow down.But she knew.He would be there.And he was.Damien stood up the moment she came into view, not in a rushed or dramatic way, just naturally, like someone who had already decided he wouldn’t remain seated when sh

Chapter two hundred and Nineteen Damien had never been the kind of man who hesitated once he made up his mind.That part of him hadn’t changed.What had changed was how he chose to act on it.For days, he had stayed back, keeping his distance, watching from places she would never notice. It had felt safe that way. Controlled. Like he could exist near her without disrupting the life she had built without him.But that morning, something about it stopped sitting right.Standing at a distance… doing nothing… waiting for the “right time”—it suddenly felt like the same mistake all over again.And he wasn’t that man anymore.So he stopped.No overthinking. No second-guessing.He got dressed, picked up his keys, and left.The drive was quiet. Not tense, not rushed. Just steady, like his mind had already settled on what needed to be done.He wasn’t going there to force anything.He wasn’t going there to explain everything in one moment.He was just going to show up.That alone was already di

Chapter Two Hundred and EighteenA few days passed, and Minnesota settled into a rhythm that Damien did not try to disrupt.He didn’t call her.He didn’t show up at her door.He didn’t create a moment that would force her to face him.Instead, he chose something harder.He stayed back.Not out of fear. Not out of uncertainty. But because, for once, he understood that showing up the wrong way would only push her further away.So he learned her routine.Not in a way that crossed a line, but in the quiet, distant way of someone who simply paid attention. The hospital she worked at wasn’t hidden. Her schedule wasn’t something he needed to dig into. It was all there, in plain sight, if you knew where to look.And he did.Every evening, around the same time, she stepped out.Consistent.Calm.Unaware.The first time he saw her again after the conference hadn’t been enough. That brief moment, that look they shared—it stayed with him longer than he expected. Not because it was dramatic, but b

Chapter Fifty FiveAria sat across from Richard in his study, her hands folded tightly on her lap. The room smelled faintly of old books and polished wood. The curtains were half drawn, letting in a soft afternoon glow. Richard sat behind his large desk, his glasses resting low on his nose as he st

Chapter Fifty Six“Please, Clara,” Damien said softly into the phone. His voice was lower than usual, almost careful. He stood near the window, the small black box resting in his palm. He kept opening it, closing it, then opening it again, his thumb brushing over the ring inside. “We haven’t gone o

Chapter Fifty FourAria stepped quietly into the room. The window was wide open, and a cold wind swept in, carrying the faint scent of the garden outside. Damien was asleep on the bed, uncovered. The blanket he had refused earlier lay crumpled beside him.She froze for a moment, watching him. He l

Chapter Fifty ThreeClara walked in a little past 8 p.m.Her heels clicked softly against the floor as she pushed the door shut behind her. The house lights were low. The television was on. A reality show played quietly, voices overlapping, laughter forced.John sat on the couch, eyes on the screen
