Chapter 53 – third person pov

The days following her unexpected encounter with Landon passed with quiet intensity. Evelyn buried herself in work, redirecting her focus to Lumina’s broader operations where she belonged. She’d handed Landon’s case to another senior physician without further explanation and hadn’t returned to that wing of the hospital since. Her silence, as always, was armor.

Then came the email.

A personal invitation from Dr. Zenda, Minister of Health, inviting her to speak at the Annual Medical Leadership Symposium in New York City a high-level conference attended by innovators, hospital executives, and top policymakers across the country.

At first, she stared at the screen in disbelief. Her name. Her credentials. Her story all acknowledged on a global stage.

She replied with composed enthusiasm:

“It would be an honor to attend. Thank you for the opportunity.”

The moment she hit send, she exhaled slowly. It wasn’t validation she needed, but it felt… good. It felt rig

    Chapter 57: The Drive HomeThe mall lights faded in the rearview mirror as Carlos steered them onto the main road, the car humming gently beneath them. The city was quieter now, painted in shades of amber and navy. Evelyn leaned back into her seat, her body relaxed but her mind unusually quiet.Carlos broke the silence with a low chuckle.“Now that… that was a scene to behold.”Evelyn turned to him with a teasing brow. “What do you mean?”Carlos smirked. “Oh, don’t play dumb with me.”“I’m not playing dumb.” She folded her arms. “What are you even talking about?”Carlos scoffed, shifting gears as they took a curve. “Girl. Come on. The way Zenda was looking at you all evening? That man is head over heels.”Evelyn let out a laugh, tinged with disbelief. “Carlos, stop it. Don’t start assuming things.”“I’m not assuming anything. I’m stating facts.” He glanced at her. “He wasn’t just being nice, Evie. That man was practically breathing in sync with you. Watching your every move. If you’re

    Chapter 56: Games and Glancesthird person povThe mall glowed with early evening light, its ceiling lit with warm yellow bulbs and glass panels that reflected the bustle below. After browsing through rows of shoes, handbags, and a few chic dresses that Evelyn didn’t need but enjoyed admiring, Carlos suggested they check out the gaming area.“Come on, Doc. You’ve had a long week. Time to unwind a little,” he grinned, nudging her toward the escalator.Evelyn chuckled. “You’re just trying to make me lose at arcade racing so you can brag all the way home.”“Me?” Carlos raised his eyebrows. “I’m offended you think I’m that competitive.”“Carlos. Last week, you argued with Dad over chess for three days.”“Okay, mildly competitive,” he said, leading her to the glowing neon lights of the mall’s gaming floor.The area was bursting with sound bumping music, kids laughing, machines flashing. The scents of popcorn and cotton candy clung to the air. Evelyn’s eyes widened in amusement.“Oh wow. Th

    Chapter 55:Sunshine in Small Momentsthird person povCecily was already awake before anyone else in the house. With her curly brown hair bouncing wildly behind her, she dashed into the hallway like a spark of joy, calling for everyone to get ready.“Today is park day!” she sang, jumping onto Mr. Harrington’s bed with a toothy grin. “Up, Grandpa! Up!”Mr. Harrington chuckled from beneath the covers, pulling the child into a warm embrace. “You’ve been up since sunrise, haven’t you?”Cecily nodded proudly. “Mommy promised. Today is our big day.”And she made sure no one forgot. She dragged Bennett out of bed, tugged on Claire’s robe, and even knocked on Carlos’ door with a wide grin. By the time Evelyn was out of the shower, the house was already alive with laughter and the faint smell of cinnamon pancakes wafting from the kitchen.By midmorning, everyone was dressed and packed snacks, drinks, Cecily’s tiny soccer ball, a picnic blanket, and her favorite bubble wand.They arrived at the

    Chapter 54: The Cracking Empirethird person povThe sleek Manhattan penthouse, perched above the chaos of the city, looked exactly like Jade Holland’s life used to be flawless, polished, and expensive. But just like the woman pacing barefoot across its marble floor, that perfection was crumbling fast.Jade stood near the floor-to-ceiling window, her silk robe loose around her frame, a glass of untouched wine in hand. Her eyes weren’t on the skyline. They were on her reflection.“You’re quiet,” Charlie muttered, voice gruff as he walked in from the guest bedroom, pulling a shirt over his head. He tossed his phone on the couch with a grunt. “What’s that supposed to mean? You haven’t said a word since I walked in.”Jade exhaled. “Because I’m tired, Charlie.”He laughed dryly. “Tired? Or broke?”She turned sharply. “Excuse me?”“You heard me. Landon’s not sending money like he used to, is he? Guess the cash cow finally stopped mooing.”“Don’t be ridiculous,” Jade snapped, setting the win

The skyline of stretched out before him, sleek and indifferent a perfect mirror of how he used to be.But he wasn’t the same man anymore.Not after the accident.And certainly not after her.Behind him, the low hum of productivity buzzed through the executive floor. Phones rang, heels clicked, assistants whispered updates and schedules. But Landon barely heard any of it.All he saw was the image of Dr. Evelyn Harrington standing over him in that hospital room professional, poised, untouchable.He hadn’t spoken a word about it since.
