Surgeon's Revenge: From Ex Wife To Country's Best Doctor Chapter 48: She's Going After Your Name
Scarlett's POV Lauren and I walked past my office, past the nursing station, all the way to the small break room at the end of the surgical corridor that nobody used before eight. She pushed the door open and checked it was empty and let it close behind us."There's a complaint," she said.I looked at her. "What kind?""Board level. Filed Friday evening." She crossed her arms. "It's informal for now, which means it hasn't triggered a formal review yet.""Which case is it?" I asked."The Smith's case." She held my gaze. "That happened six weeks ago."I was quiet for a moment. "What specifically is the complain about.""It's about the approach you used in hour three when the pressure dropped." She paused. "Whoever wrote it knows surgery, Scarlett. This isn't a patient complaint. This isn't someone's family member upset about bedside manner. Someone who understands what happens in an OR wrote this."I looked at the coffee machine."Walden," I said."His name isn't on it," Lauren said im

Calista's POV I chose the restaurant carefully.Somewhere either of us would be recognized immediately, but not somewhere that would make him feel like he was being hidden. Men like Walden needed to feel like they were being taken seriously. A private booth at Austen's on the west side, which was quiet, with good lighting.I arrived first like I always do at important meetings.He came in at seven on the dot, which told he was a man who resented being kept waiting would never make someone else wait. He was tall, good looking in the way that had probably served him well for most of his life, wearing the kind of suit that was expensive enough to be noticeable and recent enough to be deliberate. He scanned the room when he walked in and found me before the host could direct him.He had a confident walk and he'd dressed up for this.I stood and extended my hand. "Dr. Walden. Thank you for coming.""Ms. Lancaster." He shook it with a firm grip, held a half second too long. "I'll be honest
Surgeon's Revenge: From Ex Wife To Country's Best Doctor Chapter 46: A Mutual Interest
Calista's POV His assistant tried to stop me at the door."Ms. Lancaster, he's in a meeting...""He'll see me." I smiled at her the way I smiled at people whose job it was to be in my way. "Tell him I'm here."She picked up the phone, said my name into it. A pause, then she set it down and looked at me with the expression of someone delivering news they didn't want to."He said you can go in."I smoothed my jacket and opened the door.Nicholas was at his desk with his sleeves rolled up and a file open in front of him. He looked up when I came in."You look exhausted," I said and sat across from him. "When did you last sleep properly?""What do you need?" He closed the file."I was in the building." I crossed my legs, settled back. "I thought I'd check in. We haven't talked since the dinner.""We talked at the dinner." His voice was flat."Nicholas." I looked at him. "That wasn't talking." I tilted my head. "I'm trying to have an actual conversation with you."He looked at me for a mo
Surgeon's Revenge: From Ex Wife To Country's Best Doctor Chapter 45: An Active Account
Scarlett's POV Aiden talked the entire drive home.About goals, in detail, from every angle, including Danny's run which Val said wasn't a miracle or as a result of his tactical training. I sat next to Spencer on the passenger seat while he drove and watched the city pass.Nicholas followed in his own car.I'd said yes when Aiden asked if he could come back for lunch before I'd thought about what that meant for the next two hours.Aiden dropped his bag at the door as soon as we got home, kept talking while moving through the kitchen still in his kit, pulling open the fridge like someone who'd burned through every calorie he owned and needed them back immediately. Valeria went to her room and came back with her notebook already open, settled at the table like she'd been there all morning.Spencer went to the kitchen without being asked. His jacket off, sleeves up, already pulling things out with the easy of someone who knew exactly where everything was.Nicholas stood near the doorway
Surgeon's Revenge: From Ex Wife To Country's Best Doctor Chapter 44: The Game
Nicholas's POV I left my apartment at nine twenty.The drive to Riverside Park took fifteen minutes on a good day. I gave myself twenty five and still sat in the car for four minutes after I parked, looking at the entrance to the playing fields. I was fifteen minutes early, which I'd told myself was about being present for Aiden and had nothing to do with wanting to arrive before Spencer.I walked through the gate and scanned the sideline.Of course Spencer was already there.He was standing about twenty feet from the halfway line with two coffees, one in each hand, talking to Valeria who was beside him with her notebook open. He was in a dark jacket, relaxed, already completely at home on the sideline of my son's soccer game the way he was completely at home everywhere that had anything to do with my children. The two of them had their heads together over something in the notebook and he was pointing at something on the page and she was nodding with the expression she used when some
Surgeon's Revenge: From Ex Wife To Country's Best Doctor Chapter 43: I Know
Nicholas's POV My father called at eight fifteen.I was on my second coffee, still in the kitchen of my apartment, when his name came up on the screen. I looked at it for a second before answering. I answered on the third ring. Same as always."You're having breakfast," he said. "At the estate at nine thirty.""I have a call at ten...""Reschedule it." His voice was sharp.He hung up.I drove to the estate with the energy of someone who had just signed up for something and was only now beginning to understand what. I'd spent the night thinking about Scarlett's conditions. Reporting everything directly to her.I pulled through the gates and thought: I have no idea what I'm doing.The estate looked the same as it always had. Old money and older stone. I'd grown up in it and spent most of my adult life trying to feel at home in it and never quite managing.Today it felt like enemy territory which was new.My father was in his study when I arrived. He was standing at the window with his

Nicholas's POV Abigail knocked twice.I was mid-sentnce on a call when she came through the door. I held up one finger but she shook her head once, which meant whatever she was about to say couldn't wait for whatever I was currently doing. I ended the call."It's your mother," she said. "She's at
