I walked out onto the stone path and sat down on a wooden bench beneath the shade of an oak tree, pulling my coat tight against the chill. Ryker followed me, sitting right beside me. But instead of the easy comfort he usually brought, the air between us felt thick, tight, and charged with an unspoken friction.

He stared straight ahead at the gravel, his jaw clenched so hard the muscle twitched.

    ~ 113 ~~ Mia ~I walked out onto the stone path and sat down on a wooden bench beneath the shade of an oak tree, pulling my coat tight against the chill. Ryker followed me, sitting right beside me. But instead of the easy comfort he usually brought, the air between us felt thick, tight, and charged with an unspoken friction.He stared straight ahead at the gravel, his jaw clenched so hard the muscle twitched."You've been quiet since we left the exam room, Ryker," I finally broke the silence, keeping my voice even despite the exhaustion wearing me down. "Is something else bothering you, or are you just planning to glare at the dirt until my shift starts again?"Ryker turned his head, his dark eyes snapping to mine. The restraint he had been holding onto all afternoon finally snapped."I just find it fascinating, Lili," Ryker said, his voice dropping into a low, sharp edge. "You are the lead surgeon of Red Moon. You run our research institute and manage critical trauma cases. So tell

    ~ 112 ~ ~ Ryker ~The door of examination room three swung wide open, and I rushed inside with my breath coming hard and fast.Seeing Lili in such a compromising position with the man caught me completely off guard. For one damning second, it looked like something deeply intimate — her standing close by the table, and him standing right beside her, clearly shirtless. A flash of raw betrayal crossed my chest, hot and painful.But I immediately caught myself, forcing the foolish jealousy down. I knew Lili. I knew her heart, her morals, and her dedication. She was simply not that kind of person.As my racing pulse slowed down just a fraction, I also noticed the injury on his arm, properly bandaged with clean gauze and medical tape. But even as I registered it, something felt entirely strange about the whole setup. Lili was the lead surgeon of Red Moon. She managed critical care, performed complex operations, and oversaw lab research. She didn't do this sort of routine treatment. Nurses

    ~ 111 ~~ Mia ~Alexander sat still on the examination table while I set my tray of medical tools down on the counter. I pulled on a fresh pair of sterile gloves and turned back to face him, my expression entirely focused."Alright, Mr. Herman," I said, keeping my voice clipped and strictly professional. "This is going to sting. The tissue around the cut is very angry.""Do your worst, Doctor," Alexander replied, his dark eyes fixed on my face with that infuriating, steady amusement.I picked up a swab soaked in strong antiseptic and carefully pressed it against the edge of the deep, jagged slash across his upper arm.The moment the chemical touched the raw flesh, Alexander’s jaw tightened, and he winced sharply, a low hiss escaping through his teeth."Sorry," I murmured instantly, softening my tone as I eased up the pressure. "I warned you it would burn."Alexander exhaled a slow breath, the tense lines of his face relaxing into a soft grin. "Don't apologize, Dr. Liliana. It actually

    ~ 110 ~~ Mia ~The hospital hallways were already busy when I walked through the double doors. I dropped my coat off in the staff lounge, tied my white lab coat over my shoulders, and headed straight toward my office to review the morning surgery schedule.Before I could even touch my desk, the door pushed open and a young nurse hurried in, looking flustered."Dr. Liliana," the nurse said, pausing to catch her breath. "You have a patient waiting in examination room three."I frowned, glancing down at my digital tablet. "Room three? I don't have anyone scheduled until nine. Is it an emergency?""No, Doctor," the nurse replied, biting her lip with a hesitant expression. "It's... well, it's a man. He says he needs a bandage changed, and he flatly refuses to be treated by anyone else. He told us specifically that only Dr. Liliana is qualified to touch him."I raised an eyebrow, crossing my arms over my chest. "Refuses everyone else? Who on earth is he?""I have no idea, Doctor," the nurs

    ~ 109 ~~ Mia ~"...and I told the nurse, young lady, I have outlived three healers who swore I'd be dead by winter — you'll forgive me if I don't take your little chart too seriously," the old man said, and wheezed with laughter at his own joke.I smiled, pressing the stethoscope gently to his back. "Deep breath for me, Elder. In... and out. And those three healers would be very impressed with these lungs, so clearly you've been doing something right.""Stubbornness," he said proudly. "It's kept me alive and kept me married fifty-one years. Same skill, really."I couldn’t help but laugh. Aron's grandfather had never once let a check-up pass without at least three terrible jokes and one piece of unsolicited wisdom. He made the hardest part of my work feel like visiting family."Well, your stubbornness is paying off," I said, placing my stethoscope back around my neck. "Your heart rate is steady, and your chest is completely clear. If you keep this up, I might actually let you go home

    ~ 108 ~~ Mia ~The sun was shining brightly through the large glass window of my office. I sat at my desk, looking over the medical charts for my next patient. A soft knock sounded on the wooden door, and Aron stepped into the room with a bright, hopeful smile on her face."Dr. Quinn," Aron greeted me, walking over and sitting down in the chair opposite my desk. "I have some wonderful news."I looked up from my papers, setting my pen down. "Good morning, Aron. You look very happy. Is it about your grandfather?""Yes!" Aron beamed, leaning forward. "The latest lab results just came back from the lab. The doctors say his vitals are stable, and his heart rate is completely steady.""That is wonderful news," I smiled, feeling a wave of relief wash over me. "It means he is finally ready for the surgery.""Exactly," Aron nodded eagerly. "And I wanted to ask you... would you personally attend to my father during the operation? I know you are the head surgeon, and you have a busy schedule, b
