LOGINAmelia glared up at Michael and shot out her tongue at him. Michael’s reaction was epic as he stared at the girl in surprise, unsure what had caused it.“Bad uncle!” She said in her little angry voice.“What was that for?” Michael asked, taken back by the little girl glaring up at him.“I guess I am not the only one who thinks you look like a big bad uncle.” Travis whispered to Michael.“It’s a warp!” Someone shouted, signaling the end of the shoot.Before Michael could say more, Travis looked down at her and said, “Looks like we are done here. Let’s go.”Julian walked over with Adrian, following Travis, Alex, and Amelia out the door. Travis kept grinning as he thought about what just happened.Amelia had a very satisfied smile on her face too as she walked with pride beside Travis.“Bad uncle," Amelia said again.“I am sure he isn’t that bad, okay? And you should not shoot out your tongue at people.” Travis said, smiling down at her.“Okay,” Amelia responded with a nod.They rode dow
At the White Medical Center, Liroa sat at her desk, waiting patiently for Scott to speak.For the first few seconds he didn’t say a word before he finally asked, "Are you there?”“Yes, I am. Is there something else you wish to discuss?” Liora asked.Lily and Ian were both sitting in front of her. They were going over a few reports that Liora needed to get through with the team.Liora wanted to get back to the meeting but from Scott's pause she knew that might not be the case anytime soon.“Yes, I would like to have a meeting with just you. Is that possible?” Scott asked.“Me? Is this about the project?” Liora asked, her brows furrowed in confusion.“No, hmm, well, yes, in a way.” Scott responded.Liora wondered what exactly it was he wanted to say that had him saying yes and no at the same time.“Okay. Like I said, I have a lot going on right now, so if it isn’t so urgent, why don’t we meet when we come over next week? That saves us the time of trying to set up an appointment right no
Liora blinked, her eyes narrowing as she wondered what game he was trying to play.For a minute she thought he was joking. She thought surely he did not just ask her how bad he treated her.She had nearly lost her life, and here he was, asking her how bad it had been?"What did you just ask me?" Liora asked"I said how..." Travis started to say."And you have the guts to really repeat it?" Liora snapped cutting him off."You really don't..." Travis tried to say again.“If you think I am st*pid enough to fall for whatever pretense you have written all over your face, then you’ve got a long way to come out of your delusion.” Liora said, cutting him off again, her voice dripping with so much disdain.Before Travis could say more, she turned and walked away. He stood there staring at her, his mind at race to understand what his heart was feeling.“Are you sure that was a good idea?” Felix asked, stepping out of the car.“I don’t know. I just thought maybe she would say something you know.
Travis could feel his heart pick up speed as he stared into her eyes. He saw it too, the moment she realized the meaning of his words.“I now have direct access to Doctor Green. Do you know who that is?” Travis said, leaning away from her.“How am I supposed to know?” Liora asked.“I will find her soon, with or without your help.” Travis said and turned to face the stage.Liora sat there for a few minutes, unsure of what had just happened between them. Her heart seems to always betray her whenever she is within a distance of Travis.The rest of the conference went by at the speed of light, with Liora hosting the case study session as one of the panel members.Over at the other isle, Ellen had her eyes fixed on Liora throughout the conference. The fact that they were sitting apart was something she had not thought of in her plan.“F*ck!” Ellen cursed under her breath.“You always find a way to get everything dancing to your tune. But it will all end soon, sooner than you least expect.”
For moment, everything stilled as his hand reached for her shoulder.“Hey, careful,” came the familiar and husky voice directly into her ears.Liora quickly stepped back, keeping her face neutral as she said, "Sorry."Travis smiled and said, “Oh, it’s fine.”Liora frowned and asked, “Isn’t this conference supposed to be for medical practitioners?""In case you forgot, I own a medical technology laboratory, which makes it okay for me to be here.” He pointed out.Liora looked back and saw they were causing a line, so she turned and walked away from him.“What was that about?” Betty asked, a grin on her lips.“It was nothing," Liora replied.The hall was huge and packed full with a lot of people. The seats were arranged around a large stage at the center of the room.“Please follow me,” an usher said to Betty and Liora.“You come this way, please," another usher said to Ian and Ellen.“But we are together," Ellen insisted.“Yes, but you would be sitting in another section," the usher exp
In the next three days, Liora focused on getting a lot of things in place at the White Medical Center.“Do you think there is a need for a structural change in this part of the hospital?” Betty asked Liora.They were sitting in Fiona’s office and going through the change plan for the entire hospital.“Yes, not something too big, just a little bit around here to make it more accessible for patients.” Liora pointed out.“I think I agree with Liora; let’s do that for the frames and railings, and that section would be okay.” Fiona agreed.“Okay,” Betty nodded.“Wheewww, it’s been one hell of a few days.” "Lily said, sighing deeply as she slumped into the couch."“Yes, it has, and we all deserve a very much needed rest.” Betty said with a broad grin.“Now that the hospital is gaining attention, there is no sleep for anyone. The earlier we start getting used to this, the better for us all.” Fiona responded, chuckling under her breath.“When I came into the conference room the other day afte
Travis's eyes narrowed, his attention drawn in by the pain he saw in her eyes. He felt it draw at his heart, and for memories unknown to him, he felt pain.The ringing of her phone stopped before she could even pick up the call."You what?" he asked."You get the h*ll out of my sight, Travis Ashfor
Liora glanced down the hall again, rubbing her eyes to be sure she was seeing right."What is he…" She mumbled as she turned away from the elevator.There he was, sitting on one of the benches in the hall, his head resting on the wall."Felix?" Liora called.He turned suddenly, rising to his feet a
“They don’t have the blood?” Leticia asked, cutting him off.Luke shook his head and said, "No, we were asked to come get it.”Liora’s face flushed with relief as she sighed deeply before asking, “I can send one of the residents to …”“No,” Luke cut in before she could finish.Liora frowned and ask
“BP is dropping fast; she is losing a lot of blood.” Margaret called out, a note of urgency in her voice.The loud beep of the monitor had everyone looking at Liora, waiting for instructions on what to do.“Whatever it is you were about to say, Betty, spew it out now!” Liora ordered, adding, “What
