On the day he was preparing for discharge, another list of documents came from the legal officer.

Old hospital research settlement papers had been found while checking Viktor's transactions, it said. Patient information would be provided after the necessary authority was verified. Dane spent a long time looking at an unfamiliar Westmere name on the list.

Helen Morgan.

The name Evelyn had used when speaking about her mother. It cou

  • The Mafia Boss’s Captive Doctor   Chapter 62. This Time, She Didn't Pull Her Hand Away

    He pushed the invitation to the hotel event to one side of the dining table. There was still work to do today. But now there was also room for the two of them to sit and share the bread.Evelyn broke off a piece first and brought it to his mouth. As Dane took it, his lips briefly brushed her fingertips.She didn't hurry to draw her hand away.Dane looked at the crumbs left on her fingertips and smiled. When Evelyn tried to pull her hand back to wipe them off, he held it a little longer. Only then did the place his lips had touched grow warm.“Even eating bread takes this long with you.”As she spoke, Dane pushed the remaining piece toward the middle of the plate.“Something else is more urgent.”Unable to answer, Evelyn drank some water. Her gaze kept finding his face, closer than the invitation on the table.***

    He caught Evelyn's wrist with his left hand.“All done?”“Yes.”“Then come here.”Evelyn washed her hands and returned to sit on his uninjured side. Dane put an arm around her. She leaned against him, then shifted. Their knees touched. Feeling his warmth this close, she felt as though her mind, lost among papers all day, was returning to her body.“I don't want to talk about my mother today.”Evelyn said. Dane looked at the bedroom door she had closed. Inside were materials she still hadn't sorted.“Then what should we talk about?”“Let me see a face that isn't telling someone off.”She pressed a finger above Dane's eyebrow. When he tilted his face and kissed her fingertip, her hand dropped at once.“Not that face.”“If you don't like it, come closer and l

  • The Mafia Boss’s Captive Doctor   Chapter 60. The Woman Whose Coffee Was Confiscated

    That evening, Olivia put her in touch with someone who could examine the materials.The first researcher she contacted asked for the full original text and an account of how the materials had been obtained. A few sentences weren't enough to judge the entire study, they said. Listening, Evelyn grew impatient. Some parts were clearly wrong, and she wanted to demand why they were delaying a conclusion.After the call ended, she confessed those feelings to Olivia.“I know. I know we need to look at more.”“That's what you say when you receive a patient's records too.”“It's harder when it's my own life.”“That's why you shouldn't be the only one judging it.”Olivia said it was time for her rounds and she had to hang up. Even as Evelyn thanked her, she wanted to keep her a little longer. Before her friend could apologize first, she told her to

  • The Mafia Boss’s Captive Doctor   Chapter 59. Then Later

    The following afternoon, a bank employee checked Evelyn's ID and the terms of her authorization again.Dane stopped at the limit of the area where he was allowed to accompany her. Before going inside, Evelyn looked at him. The wish to ask him to open it with her rose to her throat, but she didn't know how many other people's names might appear in the materials.“I'll go take a look.”“Take your time.”He sat in a waiting chair. The way he supported his right arm was still awkward. Evelyn looked at his arm, then remembered that she had to go inside first.Box 704 held two thin document envelopes and an old notebook.There were no elaborate devices, no sealed drugs. The corners of the envelopes had been pressed down for so long that the papers bent slightly as she took them out. At the place the employee had shown her, Evelyn carefully unfolded them.&nb

    The professor put his glasses back on. Though the lenses were clean now, he still seemed to find it difficult to meet her eyes.“I only saw part of it.”“And you didn't show me that part.”“No.”A long silence followed the brief answer. Evelyn wanted to press him. She wanted to ask whether the man who had come to her mother's funeral and held her had already known something then. But the professor's breathing grew labored. She stopped speaking and called a nurse.Her wish to care for a patient and her need for answers were pulling in different directions. Evelyn stepped outside the room for a while. As another doctor assessed him inside, she took a drink of water and bit hard on the rim of the cup.“I'll ask him again later.”She told Dane beside her. When he didn't answer, Evelyn looked up.“Do you think I'm being to

    He looked unfamiliar without his white coat. Even while removed from clinical duties, he seemed unwilling to lose his place in the hospital, lifting his head whenever an employee passed.His gaze went to Evelyn's hand.“What did the professor give you?”Evelyn put the key in her bag. When Adrian took a step closer, Dane rose beside her. Evelyn didn't reach for him. She could give her own answer first.“He asked me to check some materials he keeps privately.”“You can't remove them if they belong to the hospital.”“I'll have their ownership formally established. Who decides whether someone has the authority to take them from here?”Adrian's lips tightened. He looked toward Dane as though to sneer, but Dane said nothing. Instead, he stood along the route they would take, looking ready to stop any hand that tried to snatch Evelyn's bag.
