I Left Him Behind Chapter 10
I took a deep breath."I do feel a little sympathy for you, but I only helped you because it's the decent thing any person would do."That doesn't mean I forgive you. And it definitely doesn't mean there's any going back for us.""I know..."He wiped the blood from his face. "Just stay with me for a little while."Let me look at you a little longer."I couldn't put the tangle of feelings into words, but I hated it.He'd done damage that nearly destroyed me, and now he wanted to act like a man hopelessly devoted.Once he was fast asleep, I found a caregiver, explained what he'd need, and walked out of the room.I knew exactly where I stood.I could save his life out of basic humanity. I could pay someone to look after him. But that was as far as I would go.Sympathy wasn't the same as softening. Pity wasn't the same as forgiveness.I didn't want to get pulled back into his life.But the next day, Callum found me again.He said I didn't have to forgive him, but I couldn't s

"I've already handed in my resignation. A man like me doesn't deserve to be a doctor."I also reported everything Helena did to my superiors. Before long, you'll get the justice you deserve."When I didn't answer, Callum pressed his forehead against the glass door.I could hear his breathing clearly."I owe you too much. I understand if you won't forgive me. But I'm begging you, take care of yourself. Don't let my mistakes make you unhappy."Rosie..."He ran his fingers over the glass. His voice was so full of tenderness that it threw me for a moment, as if he weren't Callum at all."I know no amount of apologizing can undo what's already happened. Diane, Lucky, your seven years—I'm the one who destroyed all of it."I don't dare hope we can go back to how things were. I'm just asking for a chance to make it up to you, even if it's only watching over you from a distance."Look."He opened his phone, and a faint meow came through the screen."Lucky's gone, so I got you a new o

Callum's hand froze in midair. Then he spoke, full of remorse."I'm sorry. I know everything now. Rosie... I didn't mean for any of this. I never thought Diane would die. I never thought Helena would do something like that... I really...""Stop. If you're looking for someone, sir, look somewhere else. I'm working. Please don't bother me!"I didn't even bother to look up. I just pointed at the door.Callum bit down hard on his lower lip. He looked like he couldn't believe it, and yet like he'd expected nothing less."Okay. I won't bother you right now. We can talk when you're done."He didn't push forward like he used to, stubborn and sure of himself, forcing me to listen to his excuses.Instead, he held the roses, quietly stepped back outside, and crouched down by the studio entrance.My workstation happened to block my view of the door.The man who'd always looked down on everyone and was used to being in control of everything had finally learned a little self-awareness.By

"Helena!"Callum didn't give her time to react. He grabbed her luggage and yanked it.Before Helena could react, the momentum threw her into the doorframe.A dull pain shot through her bones, but Callum didn't hesitate for a second."Get out!"Helena cried out. "You hurt me! Aren't you even going to say sorry?"In the past, forget shoving her—if she so much as scraped a thin layer of skin off her hand, he'd anxiously go find antiseptic and gauze and bend down to bandage it himself.But now, looking at her fake wounded expression, all he felt was disgust."This is my home. Mine and Rosalie's. You don't get to move in here and take her place."Get out."Helena stumbled, then caught her balance. The shock on her face outweighed the pain she'd been faking.She couldn't accept that Callum, who'd always been so understanding and considerate toward her, would treat her like this."Callum, what are you saying? Rosalie throws one tantrum, and you treat me like this?"I've got nowhe

When Callum got home, he didn't even stop to close the car door. He hurried in carrying the Ragdoll kitten he'd just bought at a pet store on the way.He knew he had wronged Rosalie, and he wanted to do everything in his power to make it up to her.But when he opened the door, the apartment was empty.All that was left was the dried blood spattered across the floor and the bloodstained rope."Rosalie!"Callum set the carrier down and frantically searched everywhere."Rosalie, I'm home."I bought you a new Ragdoll kitten. Rosalie!"The only answer in the empty apartment was cold silence.He stumbled through the living room, the bedroom, the balcony.He searched every corner of the place, but there was no sign of her slight figure anywhere.Lucky's cold little body, which had been left on the table, was gone too.The blood on the table had been wiped away.As if the horror that had happened there had never taken place.And everything that belonged to Rosalie had disappeared

The name slipped out of him in a murmur.Then he grabbed the nurse in front of him by the front of her scrubs. "Why didn't anyone tell me? Why didn't anyone tell me the patient in Bed 17 was getting worse?! Do you people even see me as head of this department?!"The young nurse was shaking all over at his sudden outburst, but she still managed to point at the death certificate on the computer screen."We wanted to tell you when she started getting worse. But that was the day of the cryo-transplant review, and Dr. Vaughn said no matter what happened, no one was allowed to disturb you, so..."Her legs had nearly given out, but she forced herself to finish.Callum's fury drained away, and he let go of her.A deep sense of helplessness and failure washed over him.Ever since he'd thrown himself into the targeted drug research, the death rate in his whole department had started dropping.But that day, when he heard a patient in his department had died, he couldn't bring himself to f
