The Surgeon’s Revenge Deal Chapter 48
Alex's PovSeeing her rattled me more than I cared to admit.Gwen looked shaken when she walked back to the table, shoulders tense, that forced smile not reaching her eyes. Something had happened. I could read it in the way she carried herself, the slight flush on her cheeks that wasn’t from running late. My gut twisted. I wanted to pull her aside, demand answers, fix whatever had put that look on her face.But it wasn’t my place. Not anymore.I gritted my teeth hard enough to feel the pressure in my jaw. Stay out of it, Thorne. She had made it clear she didn’t want me near her. The way she’d practically jumped out of my car this morning proved that. Still, the instinct to protect her hadn’t died. It burned low and constant, buried under layers of guilt and regret.I kept my face neutral for the kid sitting across from her, Nelson. Good student. Eager. Asked smart questions about the case study. I gave him a few pointers, and genuinely enjoyed talking with him. But my attention kept

Gwen's Pov“You!” Elena hissed, her perfectly arched brows shooting up in disbelief. Her voice was low, but venom dripped from every syllable. The restroom door swung shut behind me, trapping us in the small hallway that led back to the food court.My heart slammed against my ribs. Of all the people in this city, why her? Why now?I stepped back quickly, raising my hands. “Sorry. I didn’t see you.” My voice came out without shaking. But inside, my mind was screaming. Not today. Please, not today.She stared at me like I was a ghost that had crawled out of her worst nightmare. For a second, something almost like satisfaction flickered across her face, the look of someone who had just found an old enemy still breathing.I tried to sidestep her. “Excuse me.”But she shifted with me, blocking my path. Her heels clicked sharply on the tile. “You’ve got some nerve showing your face around here.”I swallowed hard, the burger and milkshake suddenly sitting like lead in my stomach. My past al

Gwen's PovI lasted until we were two blocks away from campus.The car was too warm, the silence too loud, and Alex’s presence too overwhelming. Every time he shifted gears or glanced in my direction, my stomach did this stupid little flip that reminded me exactly why I had spent the last year rebuilding my walls. I couldn’t risk anyone seeing us pull up together. The rumours would start before lunch.“Stop the car,” I said suddenly, my voice sharper than I intended.Alex slowed down but didn’t pull over immediately. “We’re almost there.”“Exactly.” I unbuckled the seatbelt he had helped me with earlier, the memory of his closeness still made my cheeks warm. “I’ll walk the rest. I don’t want anyone getting the wrong idea.”He exhaled through his nose, jaw tight, but he eased the car to the side of the road near a row of campus-adjacent cafes. “Gwen…”“Thanks for the ride,” I cut him off, already opening the door and jamming it close a little harder than necessary. I stepped out befo

Gwen's PovThe email was open on my screen before I could talk myself out of it.Thank you for the student list. –Dr. Alexander ThorneThat was it. Five words. Polite. Professional. Cold as ice.I stared at it for a full minute, waiting for something more, an explanation, an apology, even a stupid emoji. Nothing. I let out a bitter laugh that echoed in my quiet apartment. Why did you expect anything else, Gwen? He had made it crystal clear a year ago that I was nothing but a temporary distraction. Of course he wasn’t going to suddenly pour his heart out over email.I tossed my phone onto the nightstand and flopped back onto the bed, pulling the covers over my head. The day kept replaying in my mind like a bad movie on repeat: Alex at the front of the lecture hall, the way my body still reacted to his voice, Nelson’s hopeful smile, the humiliating elevator moment, and now this neighbour bombshell.Sleep refused to come. I tossed and turned for hours, checking the clock every twenty m

Gwen's PovI stood there for a second, heart pounding so hard I could feel it in my throat. Part of me wanted to turn around and walk straight out the door. Just leave. But my bag was still on that chair, with my wallet, my keys, my notebook – everything important. I couldn’t just abandon it.‘Of course this would happen,’ I thought bitterly. ‘The universe really hates me.’I forced my legs to move. One foot in front of the other. I approached the table without saying a word, my arms crossed tightly over my chest like that could protect me somehow. Alex looked up when I got closer. For a split second, genuine surprise flickered across his face, like he hadn’t expected me to be here.But I wasn’t buying it. Not for a second. This was the same man who had once tracked my every move when it suited him. Stalking me to a random cafe? It wouldn’t be the craziest thing he’d done.I stopped beside the table, staring down at him. The silence stretched between us, heavy and uncomfortable. He l

Gwen's PovMy finger hovered over the send button, trembling slightly.The email was perfect. Professional, cold, nothing more than a simple list of names, IDs, and contacts. But the second I hit send, I would be opening a door I had fought so hard to slam shut. Alex would have my email. He could reach me anytime. And even though I had blocked him everywhere else for the past year, a small, stupid part of me still wondered if he had ever tried reaching me.Why does that even matter?I squeezed my eyes shut for a second. My brain kept skipping over the most important details, the ones that should have made this easy. A year ago, when I finally gathered the courage to leave, the universe had noticed my hesitation and shoved me off the edge without mercy.I had been traced. Kidnapped right off the street in broad daylight. Blindfolded, terrified, and forced to listen to a distorted voice deliver deadly threats: ‘Stay away. Disappear. Or next time, we won’t let you go.’ They never said wh

Gwen’s POV. “Ugh, my arms are about to fall off.” I grumbled to myself as I struggled to balance the heavy boxes of donated toys stacked up in my arms. The corners of the boxes were digging into my palms and I could feel a painful cramp in my shoulders. It’s been one year since I walked out of

Gwen's Pov My eyes burned. I didn’t even realize I was crying until the cool air hit my wet cheeks.Tears kept falling, hot and messy. I wiped at them angrily, but more came. This pain was worse than what Raymond did. Raymond had lied and cheated and left me feeling stupid. But Alex? Alex had loo

Alex's PovThey say trouble comes in pairs. It happens that they hadn't counted properly. It came in multitudes.I returned home feeling like death warmed over. The past twenty-four hours had been a special kind of hell that started with my father and brother coming to confront me and ended with Ev

Gwen’s POV. “Three months,” Dr. Evans' firm voice filled my ears, “without intervention, you have at most, three months left to live, Mrs. Carvers.” Those words landed like a blow, knocking the air right out of my lungs as my eyes dropped to my hands clenched tightly on my thighs. It didn’t mat
