Violet's POVAmelia wasn't planning anything against me like I thought. I had called our director and he said the same thing."Dr Violet, use today to arrange your things, you are going to the Clarksville house to take care of his wife. Don't worry you will be paid accordingly" he said.It was confirmed that I was getting paid to take care of myself. For the first time I saw Jason as a darling. I would stay at home and relax like never before.I was still thinking and jubilating in my newly found favor when a call came in. It was Joe. Oh, I still owe him an explanation of where I was. Well, what Jason just did now was already an excuse for both him and my family."Hey Val, what's going on? I heard you are going on a holiday" he said on the phone." Where are you, let's talk?" I asked him." Are you okay?" He asked, worriedly." Yes. Let's meet at our usual spot"We scheduled to meet at a restaurant near the hospital since he was working the night shift and that was our favorite spot.
Listening to what I said, he gave me a strange look because my profession doesn't deal with adults."Dr Violet, I am not questioning your professionalism but then you don't treat adults" he said to me." But that doesn't mean I can't. And if you don't believe me, you can go ahead to ask the director" I said to him.Knowing how aggressive our director was, he wouldn't do that. I followed him to his office and he told me everything I needed to know. I knew something was wrong with Jason from that accident but that stubborn guy wouldn't take care of himself."We are waiting for his wife to appear but we haven't found her" the doctor said tiredly.He knew that if anything goes wrong with the patient and there was no signing of consent for operation from the family, the doctor will definitely be in trouble."I don't know why she's delaying it. Her husband is sick and she's just there doing God knows what. Rich people and their naughtiness'' he complained.If only he had known that I was th
Violet's POVJason was finally getting better, and I couldn't be more relieved. It had been a long night, spending every spare moment at the hospital, watching him suffer through his pain. I couldn't even sleep. I do not know why I was so concerned with the man I hate so much. Maybe it was because I was a doctor. My profession can't ignore my worst enemy. That's the big disadvantage of being a doctor.I know everyone at the hospital was curious about why I was so invested in his well-being, but little did they know the history we shared. The lie that the director had even told must have made them more curious.Jason was not married, which was known by everyone and again I am a pediatrician, why would I be concerned with his wellbeing as if I was his wife? I knew it was morning already and I already promised him that he would be discharged today if he was well enough. Seeing how he had slept through the night, I know that there won't be harm done if we take him home.I got out of the
I turned around to see the person but was relieved it was just one of the junior nurses on duty. Why did he sound like Joe just now? Was it because of my guilt?"It's not what you think, Nurse Kim. We were talking about his wife not being here"I was still trying to explain to the nurse when those two men started talking. I cleared my throat to gain their attention all to no avail. My head was filled with the possibility of a new rumor."I just wanted to check on Mr. Jason because..." Nurse Kim was saying to me with a fake smile on his face. Did he really or was he among the gossipers? "Get out!" Jason said suddenly, making the nurse shake in fright.Without saying another word, Nurse Kim scrambled out of the ward. Wasn't that too much? Why was he sounding scary to everyone? "Wife?" He asked, frowning as soon as the nurse left."It's not a secret any more," Alex said, his words almost looking like a murmur.I wasn't surprised because I knew that everyone in the hospital was talking
Jason POVI didn't know what exactly happened to me. Just a little pain that I felt, I found myself on the hospital bed. Before then, I knew I wasn't feeling good and I was planning to rest but then how, I'm at the hospital. I didn't expect that Violet would stay with me. The only business she has with me is to take care of Vince. I know this is extra work and I'm expected to pay her. She didn't want her colleagues at work to know but they somehow found out so I had to make sure it doesn't get out. She's not the only one that wants to hide our marriage. I want to also because I haven't told my family about it and I know that my grandfather would never agree to it. He has always wanted me to be with someone who is fit to help me with our family business.I don't even want the news to know about my relationship with her. I just pray in my heart that Vince would recover quickly and she would go her way.Rachel would have been perfect until she ditched me. She went away with another man
Violet Pov"Ouch!" I cried out. I opened my eyes and saw myself on the floor. I wonder how I landed on the ground when the bed was so spacious. Still feeling drained, I climbed up the bed to resume my sweet sleep.It's been a tiring day for me.*The next few days were a blur of activity as I helped Jason settle back into his routine. I checked in on him every day, making sure he was taking his medication and eating properly. He seemed to be getting better with each passing day, but I still had this nagging feeling in the back of my mind that something wasn't right. I brushed it off thinking it was just that particular feeling that everyone had. It couldn’t be something serious. Mike had said it shouldn't be that serious. I had told Jason that he needed to do a few tests but the naughty guy wouldn't listen to me. If not for my nagging, I know he would have headed to the office but I wouldn't watch him hurt himself.One day, I decided to do some digging. I went back to Mike when I wa
Violet's PovI went downstairs to get myself a glass of water when I saw Jason staggering and I wondered what he wanted. It couldn't be that he was sleep-walking or can he? I didn't get answers to my question because he almost fell to the ground and I rushed towards him and he fell on me, we both landed on the floor.That was painful since he was a huge man. I was struggling beneath him when Anne showed up. She must have heard me scream. She was the one who helped me roll Jason off me. Checking him, I realised that he had fainted. He must have been so weak to walk about but that guy doesn't listen.I don't know why the guy was always playing with his health. I told him about the test but he refused until I had to tell him what the doctors thought.Anne and I had helped him up to his room and laid him down. I had made sure he was stable before I left his room. I woke up very early to check on him and he was still sleeping soundly, that gave me relief. I wasn't able to sleep well becaus
Violet's POVDid I just blurt that out?"Mommy, who are you talking about?" Vince asked, looking confused." And daddy too. Do you want daddy dead?""No!" We both chorused together, afraid of hurting the little one."Baby, daddy and I were just talking about... about..." I was stuck on the lie to say to convince the little dumpling.I looked at the devil but it looked like he wasn't ready to help me out either. So I cleared my throat again before giving him the cutest smile I could muster."You see, it's a secret code for your daddy and I whenever he needs me to come anytime he miss me....""Oh! Does it mean dad misses you so much? It means daddy loves you very much, right?" he asked, eyes sparkling.Seriously, he was melting my heart already with his cuteness!" Weren't you going somewhere?" Jason cuts in, trying to distract Vince." That's right, momma. Let's go, now," Vince urged, smiling.I felt grateful to the iceberg. It seems he wasn't all that bad!***The next morning, I woke
