LOGINLiora leaned closer at the table and asked, "What are you curious about?""Oh, it's nothing much, but I hear your team might not be solely invited since the main person needed might be coming," Luke said."I really don't see the relevance of that to her. Tell us what the team for the project is." Liora stated"Oh, it's not; just a comment I wanted to put out there," Luke said with a shrug.Liora sat there, silently looking at him and wondering what he was trying to achieve with the nonsense he just spewed."Very well. I guess now we can proceed." Liora said at last as she turned to look at Ellen."Of course." Luke mumbled, then added, "Ellen would be telling us that in a few minutes.”"Okay," Betty mumbled."Okay, so what's the reason for our presence here?" Liora asked."The purpose of our meeting is to inform you about the case study and to collaborate on a solution." Luke stated, not meeting her eyes.Liora smiled, realizing what he had been trying to do."Oh, so you need us to com
“Liora!” Luke White called.Liora turned back to see him standing at the entrance. He had on his doctor's scrubs with his hands on his waist.He didn’t say another word until they had gotten to where he stood.“Was that Fiona?” He asked, his brow raised in suspicion.“Yes, it was.” Liora responded, waiting for him to say something specific.“Why is she going home at this time? That’s unlike her.” Luke responded, looking beyond them like he could somehow still picture the car.“It’s nighttime, and last I checked, she isn’t required to handle it," Liora stated.“It’s strange for Fiona to leave work now. Are you sure she is fine?” Luke asked again.He glanced from Liora to Lily, his eyes narrowing as he stared at them.“Is there a particular reason you want to see her? I believe she can get to it tomorrow, or you could just ask Betty," Liora stated.There was a note of authority in her voice as she spoke, directing him to Betty. It had Luke raising his brow in question.“If I need someth
Travis turned to Felix and asked, “What’s happening this Saturday?”“I absolutely forgot. There is a medical conference taking place that day, and it is sure to welcome a host of highly placed medical professionals," Felix stated.“I don’t see how that helps me.” Travis responded.“There is a high chance that Doctor Athena would be in attendance. It’s a really rigorous conference that anyone who is a renowned doctor never misses.” Felix pointed out.“But your father is not in town, remember? Not that; it’s the main point of concern here," Travis said with a shrug.“My father is nearing retirement.” Felix mumbled.“Okay, if you want me to come in here. We can help track that event to know when she shows up or not while still also following up with pinpointing Doctor Green.”Travis thought about it for a second before he finally nodded.“Okay, I guess we need to get more information on where this program is happening and how the team can get in," Travis muttered.“Leave that to us.” The
There was a still silence for the first minute as the monitor flattened before suddenly jumping up in a spiral movement.Relief flooded Liora as she said, "We’ve got a rhythm—pulse check.”Lily’s fingers pressed to the patient’s neck, and this time her response came with certainty. “Strong pulse.”A quiet wave moved through the room—shoulders dropping, tension easing."Thank God," Liora mumbled under her breath."We can take it from here," Ian said, stepping in."Yeah, keep me posted on his progress." Liora instructed."Will do that, ma'am." Brad nodded in response.Liora stepped away from the bed, a little bit exhausted as she breathed steadily to regain her breath."Do you want to sit?" Lily asked."No, I am fine. We should go see Fiona," Liora mumbled."Okay, let's go," Lily agreed.They walked out of the trauma unit, through the hall, and straight to the elevator. In a few minutes they were in front of Fiona's door.Liora knocked once and called out, "Fiona?"There was no response
Liora shook her head and said, "It's Travis Ashford.Lily's brow furrowed as she said, "What did he do again? He is the one that literally kept us out here till this time.""I got a message from Doctor Green," Liora stated.Lily glanced at her quickly before fixing her eyes on the road before saying, "What the h*ll?"My thoughts exactly," Liora said with a shrug."Are you saying that Travis Ashford reached out to Doctor Athena?" Lily asked."Yes, although he is yet to speak with him, his team has tried to reach him, although they have yet to make contact," Liora responded."Damn, I guess the issue with his father is really serious for him to need to get to Doctor Athena," Lily muttered."Yeah, but that's not good for me. He is practically on my tail, and I have been trying to hide that tail for a while now. I can't afford for to be recognized as Doctor Athena at this time," Liora responded."Don't you think you might want to give him a chance? It's a medical emergency, and in our prof
Travis nodded and said, “Yes, seems the team has gotten a connection to Doctor Green.”Felix frowned and asked, “Who is Doctor Green?”Travis sat up, his body suddenly energized as he responded, “The doctor who was said to have trained Doctor Athena.”Felix still looked blank, unsure what he was saying.“I thought I informed you," Travis stated.“Maybe, or maybe not. I can’t quite remember.” Felix shrugged.“So, he trained Athena, and it seems he can get me in contact with her. I need to go to the team right now.” Travis stated as he stood up.“Really? Come on, I’ll go with you." Felix said, standing up too.“But you have to look after…" Travis started to say.“Trust me, everything is fine without me here. I have done the needful.” Felix assured him.“Okay.” Travis nodded and added, “Let’s go then. A fellow doctor there might actually be a good thing.”“Okay,” Felix agreed.Felix stood up and walked over to his desk, pulled off his doctor's coat, and picked up his phone.“Where is the
Liora squinted her eyes, staring at the monitor as she asked, "Did you see that?""See what?" Brad asked in confusion, leaning in."The little dip in her heart rate," Liora pointed out, adding, "It's subtle, but it was not there yesterday."Brad frowned, responding, "Maybe she moved in her sleep?"
Ian looked at his phone again, then looked up to stare at Amelia and Adrian before his lips slowly pulled up in a grin.“What’s that weird smile?” Lily asked, walking over to him.She looked at his phone and instantly exclaimed, “Is this real?”“Yes, it is." Ian grinned.“Will someone tell me exact
The sunlight streamed through the window into Travi's room."Arghhh," he groaned as he rolled over.He lay there face down, buried in the pillow, with his brow drawn in a frown."What the h*ll," he cursed under his breath.He must have left the window a little open the night before. At that same ti
Outside the window, cars passed, their sounds muffled by the closed window.Liora sat there, eyes closed, as she tried to calm herself. It's been five years, and thinking anything would have changed because of time was a wasted effort, she thought."Okay, let's get to the root of this," she muttere
