Chapter One Hundred and Ninety Five

The next morning started earlier than usual.

The house was already awake, though the sun had barely risen. Soft movements echoed through the halls as staff went about their routines, keeping things in order the way they always did. In the living room, the television was on, its volume low but steady, carrying the voice of a news anchor into the quiet space.

Richard Greyson stood in front of it, his posture rigid, his eyes fixed on the screen.

  • His Doctor Bride   221

    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

  • His Doctor Bride   218

    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 Two Hundred and SeventeenAria was already awake before her alarm went off, lying still for a moment as she stared at the ceiling, letting her mind settle into the day ahead. There was no rush in her movements when she finally got up, no hesitation either. Just a steady rhythm she had built for herself over time.Her life in Minnesota had found its balance again.Not perfect, not untouched but stable in a way that felt real.She moved through her morning routine without overthinking it. A quick shower, simple clothes, her hair pulled back neatly in a way that suited her face without trying too hard. There was something about her now that felt different from before, something quieter but stronger. Not guarded, just… self-contained.She wasn’t trying to impress anyone.She wasn’t trying to be seen.She was just living.By the time she stepped out of her apartment, the air carried that calm, early-day stillness. The streets weren’t crowded yet, and the drive to the hospital felt

    Chapter Two Hundred and SixteenDamien didn’t take long to make the decision, and once he did, everything else followed without hesitation.His room was quiet as he pulled a suitcase from the corner and placed it on the bed. He didn’t stand there thinking about what to pack or whether this was the right move. For once, his mind wasn’t crowded with doubts or second thoughts. It was clear, steady, almost unfamiliar in how certain it felt.He folded his clothes neatly, placing them one after the other with careful precision. Not rushed, not careless. Just focused. Every movement carried intention, even the smallest ones. A shirt adjusted properly. A jacket smoothed out before being laid down. His watch placed gently into the side compartment.There was no chaos in him.Just direction.The door opened quietly behind him, and Richard stepped in, his eyes taking in the scene without needing an explanation.“So, you’re really going,” he said, his tone calm but knowing.Damien didn’t stop wha

Then the shaking spread. His hands trembled harder, his shoulders followed, his breath breaking into

    Chapter Forty ThreeThe head guard’s voice echoed through the staff courtyard, sharp enough to make everyone stiffen where they stood.“Who amongst you snitched and told Clara Johnson the hospital Damien was kept?!”All the staff froze. No one moved. No one breathed. Their eyes shifted from one ano

    Chapter Forty FourAria had come back from the hospital earlier than expected. Damien was coming home today, and even though nothing special was supposed to happen, she took it upon herself to prepare something decent. Not because she felt anything deep, not because she cared in that way, but becau

She walked straight to the staff quarters, opened her small locker, pushed aside her uniforms, and carefully hid the packages Clara gave her. She shut the locker qui
