Chapter 38

I took a deep breath before stepping through the hospital doors the next morning. My stomach was in knots. Even though Ethan had gotten my job back, I still felt like I was walking into enemy territory. The board had cleared me, but I knew not everyone would be happy to see me.

The moment I clocked in and walked onto the trauma floor, a few familiar faces lit up.

“Lila!” one of the older nurses, Mrs. Grant, called out with a big smile. She came over and gave me a quick hug. “Girl,

  • The Doctor’s Voluptuous Patient    Chapter 148

    Chapter 148Morning light filtered weakly through the hospital blinds when Jasmine’s fingers first twitched.Lila had refused to leave the ICU waiting area all night. Ethan stayed with her, dozing in short, uneasy stretches while Damien and Eleanor took turns bringing coffee and updates. The private security detail outside Jasmine’s room had become a quiet fixture. Police had already taken preliminary statements. The grainy park video had spread further overnight, attaching itself to every existing article about the Vance family.At 7:14 a.m. a nurse stepped into the waiting area and looked directly at Lila.“She’s awake. She’s asking for you.”Lila was on her feet before the sentence finished. Ethan followed close behind as they were led into the ICU bay. Damien and Eleanor came with them. Jasmine looked fragile against the pillows, skin still too pale, an oxygen tube under her nose, but her eyes were open and clear.When she saw Lila her mouth attempted a weak smile.“You’re okay,”

    Chapter 147The world narrowed to the sound of Lila’s own breathing and the wet warmth spreading under her hands.“Jasmine—stay with me. Please. Open your eyes.”Jasmine’s eyelids fluttered but did not fully open. Her lips moved without sound. Around them, the park that had felt ordinary only minutes earlier now filled with panicked voices. A woman from the playground dropped to her knees on the other side of Jasmine, pressing her own hands over Lila’s.“I called an ambulance,” the woman said, voice shaking. “They’re coming. Keep pressure on it.”Lila nodded, tears blurring her vision. She kept both palms locked over the wound, ignoring the way her arms trembled. In the distance she heard the rising wail of sirens. Someone else was shouting directions to the street. A man in a jogging suit tried to ask questions Lila could not answer.The ambulance arrived in a blur of red lights and urgent voices. Paramedics took over with practiced speed, lifting Jasmine onto a stretcher while one o

    Chapter 154The new safe apartment still smelled faintly of dust and fresh paint. Boxes remained unpacked in the corner. The blinds stayed drawn. It was secure, but it felt temporary in a way that wore on everyone.Ethan stood by the door with his jacket already on, speaking in a low voice to the lawyer on the phone. The man needed him at the downtown office within the hour to review Ruth’s formal statement and prepare the next emergency filing. The timing was tight. Leaving Lila alone was not ideal, but there was no way around it.He ended the call and turned to her. “I have to go. Two hours, maybe a little more. I don’t want you here by yourself.”Lila sat on the couch with her feet tucked under her, one hand resting on her stomach. The baby had been quiet most of the morning, which somehow made her more aware of every small movement. “I’ll be fine. I’ve stayed alone before.”“Not with Richard escalating like this.” Ethan rubbed a hand over his face. “I’m calling Jasmine.”Lila start

    Chapter 145Morning arrived with the heavy feeling that the day would not stay quiet for long.Ruth sat at the kitchen table with the lawyer and a small digital recorder, giving her formal statement in clear, steady detail. Eleanor stayed beside her the entire time, occasionally reaching over to squeeze her hand when the memories grew sharp. Ethan and Damien took turns watching the street and monitoring incoming messages. Lila remained close, quiet but present, one hand resting on her stomach as if reminding herself what they were all protecting.By eleven o’clock the statement was complete, signed, and already on its way to the appropriate offices. Mara Ellis had been given a controlled summary and was preparing the first public piece. For a short while the safe house felt like it had gained solid ground.That feeling lasted less than an hour.Damien’s phone buzzed first. He read the message, then looked up sharply.“They know,” he said. “One of Richard’s contacts in the court clerk’

    Chapter 144The plan came together in under three hours.Damien coordinated from a different city, using two men he trusted who had no remaining ties to Richard’s payroll. Ethan stayed at the safe house with Lila and Eleanor, running communication and watching for any sign that Richard already knew where Ruth was. Every half hour Damien sent a short update. The tone stayed controlled, but the underlying urgency never left.At 3:40 p.m. the final message arrived.We have her. Clean extraction. No contact on site. Moving to the secondary location now. ETA four hours.Ethan read it aloud. Lila closed her eyes in brief relief. Eleanor stood up from the table and walked to the window, arms folded tightly across her chest as if she needed to hold herself together.“She’s really coming,” Eleanor said quietly. “After all this time, someone who was actually there is going to stand in front of people and say what happened.”Lila rose and crossed the room, resting a gentle hand on Eleanor’s back

  • The Doctor’s Voluptuous Patient    Chapter 143

    Chapter 143The safe house stayed quiet through most of the morning. Eleanor sat at the kitchen table reviewing the amended lawsuit pages with the lawyer over a secure call. Lila rested on the couch with a book she was not really reading, one hand resting on the gentle curve of her stomach. Ethan moved between the window and the small desk, coordinating the next wave of documents with Mara Ellis and checking in with Damien, who was now fully clear of the family estate.The call that changed the direction of everything came just after noon.Ethan did not recognize the number. He almost let it go to voicemail, then answered on the third ring.A woman’s voice, older and careful, spoke first. “Is this Ethan Vance?”“Who is this?”There was a short pause, as if the woman on the other end was steadying herself. “My name is Ruth Collier. I used to be Ruth Langley. I worked as a nurse in the maternity ward the year you and your brother were born. I was there the night they took him.”Ethan fr

    Chapter 36 The next morning, Ethan Black arrived at Mercy General earlier than usual. He had not slept much. His mind had been filled with images of Lila’s tear-streaked face, the way she had trembled in his arms after Ryan Hayes forced his way into her apartment, and the ugly words Hayes had thro

    Chapter 3The knocking on the door grew louder. My heart hammered against my ribs, matching the wild beeping of the monitor beside me. Ethan’s hand was still on my chest, warm and heavy, his fingers just above the swell of my breasts. He looked at me like he wanted to ignore whoever was outside and

    Chapter 2I woke up to the sound of beeping machines and a warm hand on my shoulder. My eyes fluttered open, and there he was again — Dr. Ethan Black, leaning over me with a tight look on his face. My heart jumped. Not just from the fear, but from something else I couldn’t name.“Easy, Lila,” he sa

It was late, way too late for her to still be driving home after a double shift at the small clinic. Her eyes felt heavy, but she pushed on.
