Chapter 7

Author: Windborne Snow
Seeing that I was about to leave, Charlene gently tugged my hand. She advised softly, “I know you’ve gone through a lot, Isaac, but let’s let bygones be bygones. There’s no point in bringing up the past again, right? Besides, Zach has already lost his job. Are you trying to make him feel worse by bringing all this up again? You should stop. We’ll get remarried in the future, I know it. So you should stop causing such a ruckus.”

I flung Charlene’s hand away. Without even looking at her, I said,

  • Your Regrets Fleeting as the Wind   Chapter 10

    Charlene held out a briefcase filled with money to two family members of the deceased patient. We were standing quite far off, but I could see that Charlene was truly very sorrowful. Dr. Moore sighed deeply. “She came to resign the day before yesterday. She’s such a skilled doctor; it’s a real shame.”I laughed and shook my head. “It’s no shame. She chose this herself.”Geneva and I went home to pack our luggage. We would leave the city today. Geneva took my hand and tucked herself in my embrace. “Are you going to miss it here? Is it the city you’ll miss or your ex-wife?”I chuckled and pinched her cheek.“What do you think? Of course I’ll miss this city. I’ve been living here since I graduated! But it will be nice to be overseas. With you by my side, it doesn’t matter where I am.”“That’s more like it. The cab will be here soon. Let’s go.”Geneva twined her fingers tightly with mine.Downstairs, I saw Charlene again. It seemed that she had come intentionally to wait for m

    Charlene thinned her lips and could not meet my eyes.Her voice trembled as she said. “I know that. I’ll go and do what’s needed. But… I’m sorry, Isaac. I accused you wrongly. I should have known it earlier. You’ve always been so soft-hearted, and you’ve always felt terrible when patients passed away. There was no way you would have mistreated a patient in a fit of temper. I don’t know why I insisted on believing Zach so much. I’m sorry. I know it’s too late to only look for the truth now.”Charlene had gone through this speech many times, but every time she said it, she felt pain cutting into her. When she accepted the truth, she felt as though she was in that deceased patient’s place, lying on that cold surgery table. She suddenly felt so powerless. What had she done all this time? She promised to always protect Isaac, but she had made him suffer instead. At this point, meeting Isaac’s frosty gaze, she felt that she could say nothing but another apology. It was because of her t

    I spluttered out a laugh. “I already warned you about the consequences long ago, Charlene. You were the one who decided to trust Zachary. Why didn’t you investigate it?”“I did! I told you what I found! Stop this madness, Isaac!”I cut her off. “You investigated? I doubt it. You were probably too afraid to. You couldn’t believe that your beloved Zachary could do such a thing on purpose only to frame me! Well, the police will be fair in their investigations. You’ll finally see what kind of person Zachary really is!”I hung up decisively, not giving her another chance to make her case. The police soon came back with results on the malpractice cases. They purposely put out a statement to clear my name and pronounce me innocent. Geneva looked at the statement, the worried lines on her face smoothing away. “You’re finally cleared. I knew I should have come back to help you early on. They would never have dared to make you take the blame if they knew that you had someone on your sid

    Seeing that I was about to leave, Charlene gently tugged my hand. She advised softly, “I know you’ve gone through a lot, Isaac, but let’s let bygones be bygones.

We’ll get remarried in the future, I know it. So you should stop causing such a ruckus.”I flung Charlene’s hand away. Without even looking at her, I said, “I’m not going to stop. We have to get to the bottom of this. I want the truth to come out, including regarding that first incident when you changed the records to show me as the lead surgeon.”Dr. Moore asked me to go back to the hospital and work there again, but I declined. Once the workshop was over, I waited a bit before going back to the hospital. Beside me, Geneva kept hassling me about going back to gather evidence. “Why are you so calm about this? You were the one who said you want

    Panic flashed on Charlene’s face, but she did not shout. Her tone was mild as she said, “How have you been over there? I wanted to contact you, but I remembered that there was still some scandal following you around because of the lawsuit, so I thought it would be better if you stayed overseas.”I laughed at the hint of guilt in her gaze. How dare she pretend to care about me?It was her fault that everyone detested me, her fault that I had to escape overseas. But I could not be bothered to bring up the past and settle the score on who was at fault. I only had one purpose, and that was to reveal the truth of what had happened during that fateful surgery. I looked at Zachary, unafraid of his threats. “Sure, just try it. Let’s see if you’ll be chased out of this conference room or if I’ll be castigated.”Zachary clenched his fists and gritted out, “Don’t act so pleased, Isaac! Do you think you’re all that just because you won Dr. Hubbard’s approval? If he knew about what you’ve

    “You must have worked very hard to have gained Dr. Hubbard’s trust in a scant two months.”Geneva’s effusive praise of me made me laugh.“And it’s all thanks to the opportunity you gave me. Tell me, how should I thank you for it?”She looked at me shyly through her eyelashes. “You know how I feel about you. Of course, I don’t want to force you into anything. I just hope that you could give me a chance.”Geneva had had a crush on me since university, but I had not known about it at the time. She had been by my side all this time as a friend. It was only after Charlene came into my life that Geneva confessed her feelings. Alas, it had been too late. I had already fallen for Charlene and only thought of Geneva as a friend. From then on, Geneva put away her feelings for me and continued to wait for me as a friend. In ten whole years, she never found a boyfriend. I took Geneva’s hand and made my own feelings clear. “No, you’re the one who needs to give me a chance. Come home w
