Chapter 9

Author: Triple Threat
When Nicole saw how calmly I had accepted her apology, she hurried to apologize once more.

"I was so busy that day. I didn't realize Mrs. Quinn was that sick. If you're angry, slap me. I don't care. I'll do anything you want if you'll just take me back."

Mom's medical records were right there in the hospital system.

Nicole worked at Aldora Medical Centre and could've checked them whenever she wanted, yet she was standing in front of me claiming she hadn't known how serious Mom's condition wa

  • Mom Left the Hospital, I Left My Girlfriend   Chapter 10

    Nicole glanced at him coldly. "If you're uncomfortable, go back. I can wait by myself."Kevin was rendered speechless. His eyes immediately reddened. "That's not what I meant. I'm just worried about you, Nicole."This time, however, his wounded expression only made her angry."Did I ask you to worry about me?" she snapped. "Mike wouldn't have left if it weren't for you. Do you really think I haven't figured out what you've been doing all this time? Maybe you can fool my parents, but you can't fool me. From now on, I want nothing to do with you. Leave.""I…"Kevin had probably never imagined that Nicole would speak to him that way. Humiliated and furious, he stormed off.As time passed, I stopped caring whether Nicole was around. She appeared in the neighborhood so often that eventually, she became nothing more than part of the scenery.Then, one day, while I was out grocery shopping, I ran into Amelia Baker, an elementary school classmate who had also sat beside me throughout mi

Nicole worked at Aldora Medical Centre and could've checked them whenever she wanted, yet she was standing in front of me claiming she hadn't known how serious Mom's condition was.Did she really not hear how absurd that sounded?I was tired of going in circles with her, so I made myself clear."I already said everything I needed to say in those messages. When I said we were breaking up, I meant it. Being with you was exhausting, Nicole. Go back to Aldora. Be with Kevin. Your parents would be happy about it, and you can stop wasting your time coming after me.""No!" Nicole looked close to breaking down. "You're the one I love. I won't be happy with anyone else. I

  • Mom Left the Hospital, I Left My Girlfriend   Chapter 8

    Little by little, Mom began looking healthier, which reassured me that coming home had been the right decision.Now and then, she would casually mention Nicole, and I would always change the subject.I hadn't explained our breakup to Mom in detail because I didn't want her thinking she'd somehow ruined my relationship. Still, after I suddenly quit my job and moved home, even she could guess that something had happened, and I knew she couldn't help feeling guilty about it.Every time Mom had visited me in the past, Nicole had treated her poorly.I knew Mom had put up with it solely for my sake. My relationship had already hurt her far too much, and realizing that only deepened my resentment toward Nicole.I certainly never expected Nicole to come looking for me.Knowing her, I'd assumed that once I left, she would curse me out, convince herself I was an idiot who didn't know how good I had it, and eventually marry Kevin. Then, she could spend the rest of her life waiting for t

  • Mom Left the Hospital, I Left My Girlfriend   Chapter 7

    "Dr. Davis, we have an emergency! We need you here!"By the time Nicole finished the surgery, it was already early the next morning.Her job had always been demanding, and I used to hate seeing how exhausted it left her. Even after working a full day myself, if I knew she was staying late at the hospital, I would make one of her favorite late-night snacks or cook some soup and bring it over.Nicole always told me there was no need and insisted I should stay home and sleep instead, but that was what people did when they were in love. Sometimes, one went out of their way for someone simply because doing it made them happy.The hospital was usually quiet and deserted late at night. Nicole would sit there drinking the soup I brought while I pulled up a chair beside her and cracked jokes.Those were the rare moments when her parents and Kevin weren't around, and it was just the two of us. For a little while, it almost felt as though we'd caught a glimpse of what a happy life to

  • Mom Left the Hospital, I Left My Girlfriend   Chapter 6

    Nicole wanted to stop me from leaving. She didn't want to break up.By then, however, I was already on the train home.As the train pulled away from Aldora, I said goodbye to everything that belonged to my past, including Nicole.My phone kept buzzing. When I finally checked it, her messages filled the screen."Mike, where did you go?""Mike, I know I messed up. Please don't leave me…""Mike, I'm sorry. I know I screwed things up. Please don't leave me, okay?"I read one desperate apology after another, yet none of them stirred anything in me.It was far too late for regret.If Nicole had paid even a little more attention to me, our relationship never would have reached this point.With a heavy heart, I deleted all the messages and blocked her on every app and platform we used. Then, I tapped on my conversation with Mom.She'd asked what time I expected to arrive and told me that my room was already prepared. Early that morning, she'd even gone grocery shopping so she coul

  • Mom Left the Hospital, I Left My Girlfriend   Chapter 5

    Those words left Nicole staring silently at her phone for a long time.She had expected me to be angry and had even prepared several ways to deal with it. She could buy me a gift and coax me into forgiving her, just as she'd done before, or she could turn the blame around on me and accuse me of being unreasonable and failing to understand her situation.Either approach had always worked. No matter how upset I was, I had eventually forgiven her.But this time was different.Over the years, Nicole had made promises she never kept and repeatedly raised my hopes before disappointing me all over again. Even so, until she saw that breakup message on her screen, it had never once occurred to her that I might be the one to end our relationship.For the first time, panic set in.Without another thought for her parents or Kevin, Nicole turned to leave.Kevin's face fell, and he immediately seized her arm."Nicole, where are you going? I already ordered everything. You're not seriousl
