Nicholas's POV

The boy held up his drawing.

"Do you want to see?" he said.

I stepped into the doorway. "Sure."

He turned the pad around with both hands, holding it up at arm's length, It was a hospital, I knew that from the red cross with two figures outside it, one clearly taller than the other.

"That's me and my mom," he said. "She works here, well not here here, but she works at a hospital. This one's just for the drawing."

"It's good," I said.

"I know." He said like he was stating a fact.

    Nicholas's POV “What did you know, Mom?” I asked quietly.She looked at the floor for a long time, her hands were tight on the arms of the chair. “After the accident I knew something was wrong almost immediately," she said finally, voice low. "Your father didn't tell me anything, but he was already on the phone before the police had barely finished the first report and then he was telling everyone we needed to accept she was dead.""I remember that," I said leaning forward. "It was hours after she signed the divorce papers and I thought I'd killed her.""Yes, your father was..." She paused, shaking her head once. "He was organized, like the steps were already written down somewhere.""Did you ask him about it?" I asked. "If he was somehow involved?""I tried to," she said quietly. "He said certain things were family matters and shouldn't leave the house. Everytime I pushed, that was the answer, so after awhile I stopped pushing."She wiped under one eye with the side of her thumb.“

  • Surgeon's Revenge: From Ex Wife To Country's Best Doctor    Chapter 116: Time I Told You The Truth

    Nicholas's POV I turned around. My father stood in the doorway, one hand still on the frame, the other in his pocket. “I left a folder here,” I said calmly. “Contract notes. I need them for a call in the morning. The desk said you’d already gone.”He nodded once, like that settled it, and stepped inside. The door clicked shut behind him. He didn’t glance at the open drawers or the folders still on the desk. He just walked to the window and looked out at the city lights the way he always had.“How was Germany?” he asked."It was fine," I straightened up. "Long but productive enough.""I'm glad," My father stayed at the window, watching the city the way he always did when he was deciding how much interest to show. “Meetings went well?”“Well enough," I said calmly. "The usual back-and-forth. Nothing that couldn’t wait until I was back.”He gave short nod. I kept my hands loose at my sides and resisted the urge to glance at the open drawer behind me.“What about the children?” he asked

    Nicholas's POV "I should go," I pushed the chair back. "I need sleep before I say something useless.""Okay," Scarlett nodded. "You should say goodbye to the kids first."The kids were already in the living room when I came in. Valeria had her pencils and a scarp of paper."Am done with the laundry," Aiden said when he saw us. "Dad can we watch the echo video now?""Sorry Aiden, I have to go." I said. "I'm pretty tired from the flight. "If I stay I'll start talking nonsense.""But you just got here," Aiden blinked repeatedly."I know," I said softly. "I promise I'll come back tomorrow and we'll watch the echo video."Aiden’s mouth pulled down. "You swear?""I swear," I said. "I’ll text when I’m on the way.""You shouldn't forget," Valeria looked up from the pencil. "He’ll wait by the window again.""I won’t forget." I ruffled Aiden’s hair and squeezed Valeria’s shoulder. "I'll walk you to the door," Scarlett said.We stepped out onto the landing and the evening air hit cooler than b

  • Surgeon's Revenge: From Ex Wife To Country's Best Doctor    Chapter 114: Clean On Paper

    Scarlett's POV I picked up my phone and called Ashfield on the secure line. She answered on the first ring."You should open the files now," She said.I reached for the tablet on the side table, unlocked it and pulled up the new folder. . Nicholas moved from the chair to the dining table, while Spencer came out of the kitchen and stood on the other side, arms folded, watching the screen over my shoulder as the documents loaded."His name is Daniel Jackson," Ashfield’s voice stayed flat. "He has no formal complaints or loud associations. On paper he looks clean."I scrolled through the first PDF file which was incorporate fillings and signature pages. There were the same neat, slightly cramped handwriting over and over again. Nicholas leaned in until his shoulder almost touched mine and he stared at one of the signature pages for a few seconds, then sat back hard in the chair."I know that name," he said quietly."From where?" Spencer asked."From board meetings," Nicholas rubbed his

  • Surgeon's Revenge: From Ex Wife To Country's Best Doctor    Chapter 113: What He Brought Back

    Scarlett's POV Aiden was already at the window the moment he heard that cab. He was downstairs and outside before Nicholas had even fully gotten out the cab and hugged him the moment he saw his. His face buried in Nicholas's coat for a few seconds while Nicholas's hand settled on the back of his head. Valeria came down and walked straight into the second hug without making him ask and Nicholas said something low against her head that made her mouth twitch. I stayed on the top step and watched them. The afternoon light caught the side of Nicholas’s face. He looked tired from the flight, but the tiredness seemed to go away for a moment once both kids were under his arms, and I felt myself smiling before I could stop it. Spence was quiet behind me in the door. Nicholas looked up and met my eyes over the kids’ heads. "Hey,' he said carefully. "Hey," I repeated. "How was the flight?" "It was long but worth it,". He ruffled Aiden’s hair and adjusted the strap of the small bag on his

  • Surgeon's Revenge: From Ex Wife To Country's Best Doctor    Chapter 112: The First Name

    Scarlett's POV I woke up to the smell of coffee and the low scrape of a spatula against a pan. I went downstairs into the kitchen and Aiden was already at the table in yesterday’s socks, and was already talking about when Nicholas would be coming. “He’s landing this afternoon," He looked at Valeria. "That means he’ll be here before dinner, right? Or maybe right after. I can't wait to show him the echo video as soon as he walls in." "He's going to be tired," Valeria said without looking up from her textbook. "I'm pretty sure he would not want to watch medical videos the second he lands." “He said he’d watch every second.” Aiden pointed his fork at her. “He promised.” "That was when he was in Germany," Valeria's voice was flat. "Not when he was on flight and probably very tired." I ignored them, my eyes moved to stove and Spencer was by the stove, his back to us, pouring , pouring batter onto the hot pan in neat circles, then when they were ready he just flipped the one that wa
