Stubborn Hearts Chapter 10 A New Beginning
"But then Yvonne showed up out of nowhere and tried to confess her feelings before leaving for Mercenia. I turned her down, because you're the only one I love. You saw a moment that looked like an affair and believed it."My eyes stayed on his. "So, why'd you never explain yourself even once? You had three years."He smiled bitterly. "Because I was angry too. Angry that you trusted me so little and never gave me a chance to speak. But more than anything, I was angry at myself for not chasing after you immediately."My tears fell again, and he wiped them away. "Give me another chance. Let me court you all over again. I'll prove my love, and this time I won't let misunderstandings tear us apart. No more heartbreak."His eyes were full of hope, full of sincerity."It hasn't been easy for me either, Jeremiah. Every time I ran into difficult cases, it reminded me of the days we spent figuring out the patients. Every time I finished an operation, I wanted to share it with you, but you w
Stubborn Hearts Chapter 9 Sometimes, Don't Be Stubborn
My hand froze. "What?""I was leaving to study abroad. Mercenia. I wanted to settle things before I went.""Settle what?" I asked."My feelings." Yvonne smiled sadly. "But he said no. You're the only one for him, now and forever. That's what he said."My hand was starting to shake. "What?"Yvonne asked, "The full video is in the flash drive. Are you sure you won't watch it?"I quietly dressed Yvonne's wounds. She piped up, "It's in my bag. Just take it."I didn't. "No, thank you.""Do you hate him that much, Queenie? So much that you'd rather avoid the truth?"I stopped halfway through sorting out the tools. "No. I'm just tired. I've spent years living with doubt, fear, and insecurity. I don't want that life anymore."Yvonne sighed softly. "Do you know what kind of life he's been living? Every time he faced a difficult case, he wanted to talk to you. Every time he finished surgery, he turned around to share the moment with you. But you were already gone."Something stung beh
Stubborn Hearts Chapter 8 The Truth
One day, a familiar figure showed up in the corridor. Jeremiah stood in front of the nurse's station, flipping through medical records.A nurse whispered to me, "Do you know Dr. Luthenstein? I heard he's planning a partnership with us."I shook my head. Just when I was going to leave, Jeremiah called out to me, "Queenie."I stopped but didn't turn back. "What is it, Dr. Luthenstein?""We need to talk.""There's nothing to talk about."But Jeremiah was already standing in front of me. "Let's have lunch." It wasn't a request.I raised my head. "Dr. Luthenstein, we're—""Just think of it as a partnership discussion," he interjected.That was a reason I couldn't refuse. We met up at a restaurant close to the hospital. He looked as polished as ever, perfectly suited, carrying the effortless air of a man in control.Jeremiah asked, "How's life?""Good." I nodded. "What about Yvonne?" I blurted.Jeremiah put his fork down. "Do you really want to know?"I smiled. "Just making conv
Stubborn Hearts Chapter 7 Still Refusing
"Yvonne and I—""I said, no explanations!" I shoved his hand away. "I've been thinking, Jeremiah. If I'd never trusted you so much, maybe I wouldn't have been so heartbroken. If I'd seen the truth sooner, maybe I wouldn't have suffered like this."He looked at me, a storm of emotions in his eyes. "You thought that was the truth?"I picked up my purse. "It doesn't matter anymore." I was going to leave. "Goodbye, Dr. Luthenstein."Then, Marcus barged into the office. "ER just got a serious case! The patient needs to undergo surgery now!"I asked, "What's the situation?""Aortic dissection. It's an emergency."Jeremiah said, "I'll prep."Marcus shook his head. "The patient's family specifically requested Dr. Holloway. She saved his father."That stunned me. Now, there was no way I could say no. "On it," I said.Jeremiah followed me. "I'll assist."Once again, we were a team. This time, it was worse. Every single second of the surgery tested my skills. And when we hit a crit
Stubborn Hearts Chapter 6 To Another Hospital
"Or do you expect me to accept your affair with Yvonne?"He explained quickly, "It's not what you…""Enough." I waved him off. "I don't want to hear it. Every time you were alone with Yvonne, I trusted you to stay loyal. And what did that trust get me?"He tried to speak again, but Yvonne suddenly walked in. "Jeremiah, the patient's family wants to see you."I saw him turn to her again, and I thought this was ironic. "Go, Dr. Luthenstein. The patient's more important." Then, I walked away.The corridor's air was filled with the sharp scent of antiseptic. This would be the last time I breathed it in. I'd be going to a new hospital tomorrow.It was a larger municipal hospital in another city. I'd made up my mind to leave this place and the entangled web behind, so I returned to my office and started packing my stuff up. A knock sounded at the door. "Come in," I said.Yvonne came in and stood in front of me. Calmly, she asked, "You're leaving?""Yes." I didn't stop packing."
Stubborn Hearts Chapter 5 No Going Back
I shook his hand off. "I don't hate you. I'm just tired. I spent three years wondering what I did wrong, Jeremiah. I wondered if a brilliant doctor like you was too good for me, or maybe it was my insecurity talking to me."I met his eyes."But now I understand. It was never me. It was you. You've never given me real attention, Jeremiah. Not once."That changed the look on his face. "What made you think that?""You've never cared about my feelings, not once in five years. Every time I ran into trouble and needed you, you weren't there. You were with Yvonne. Talking cases. Talking surgery. Talking about everything except me."He wanted to say something, but then his phone rang harshly. It was Yvonne. He hesitated, wondering if he should take it. I smiled bitterly. "Go. Your genius partner is calling.""Queenie…""Enough. That's Dr. Holloway for you." I picked up my purse and was about to leave, but he blocked the exit."You're leading that surgery," he said.
