Chapter 21Layla’s POV “So you have a crush on him?” I was surprised with his question and I could tell Lisa also has the same expression written on her face. What has come over Nate? Is he acting concerned now?“I don’t have a crush on him, Lisa.” I finally answered Lisa question to clear the air and indirectly I also answered his question.“Doctor, is everything okay?” Lisa still having the shock expression on her face, “I mean you should not mention things like that in front of Melissa ward, what if she hear you and thinks her mother is cheating on her daddy.”I can’t believe Nate is acting all immature, he is not a kid for petite sake, “Melissa trust her mother so much that I can never cheat on her father, if she is to be scared about anyone it will be her father who is a cheat.” I got so angry remembering what happened at the Art Gallery event, I got so angry and emotional and ready to fight him forgetting we are at the hospital.“So the father is a cheat and not the mother, how

Chapter 23Layla’s POV“Are you not happy about it? He is good you know.” Lisa added.“Of course I am happy, I guess I got too excited.” I lied so they won’t suspect a thing.“Are you sure?” Kyle also questioned and I nodded and gave a fake smile.“Okay if you say so darling, I am done with filling my details at his office, I told him I will inform you since you went to check on patients at the ICU.”No way, I am going to see that jerk at his office alone? Why are things not working for good for me today? I don’t want to be seeing more of him because I know so well she is going to be present all the times and it will be too much for me to handle because I so much love him.“Layla, what are you thinking about?” Lisa tapped me and I faked my laugh saying, “I just thought of something.”“Okay, so you heard what I said right? You have to go to his office like right now.”“Sure, I will get going now.” I left them and went to the pack to cool off. What do I do now? How can I get passed him

Chapter 25Layla’s POV I closed my eyes for a few seconds and opened them again thinking I will wake up from this beautiful dream but it turns out that I am not dreaming, everything that is happening in real, Nate is wishing me a happy birthday, he didn’t forget but don’t tell me he did everything himself. “Thank you.” I replied still short of words, what should I say right now? This is just too sudden and lastly I never thought a day like this will come. Yes in the past he do wish me a happy birthday but not by himself, he either pays a delivery guy to give me cake or a letter or he just text me the happy birthday words, and I thought he forgot all about my day today and here he is taking me unaware, this is too good to be true. “You can sit here.” He brought out the chair for me and I sat down still trying to process everything happening. “Is your mom present?” I didn’t know when I threw the question, I know it is impossible for him to do this, maybe his mother came around and b

Chapter 27Layla’s POV“Layla.” Kyle called again and I got revived from my deep thought.“Oh, it was a mistake, I meant to say Doctor Nate and I also work under him now so I thought since Daisy is coming, I was thinking he will come as well.”“Yeah he should but you know he is a famous surgeon so it will be hard for him to create time to come see you, don’t be angry with him, I gave a weird excuse to be here,” He added.What was I even thinking, there is no way Nate cares that he will come here but I am certain I saw Nate earlier, only one way to find out.I tried standing up but Kyle stopped me saying, “You can’t leave now.”“I know, I am bored of this inside view, I would love to sit at the pack and I am very okay now, it’s just a cut.” I assured him.“But I am coming with you but let me get the nurse first.”“Sure.” He took his leave and I quickly remove the drip connection as I rushed outside, I looked both left and right and found no one, I guess it’s just my imagination.Everyo

Chapter 29Layla’s POV“Layla, you are mine.”He sounded so different, I guess I shouldn’t be here now before he does something stupid to me.“Please stop.” I said and he let go off me straightaway.“I will take my leave now.” I said and he called me but I just ignored and rushed out at once, I don’t know why Nate is acting so strange today.I returned to the office and took my sit trying to catch my breath, his words played in my head again, why is he claiming right over me? I tried to understand everything that just happened but I never got a clue but thank God I left his office for now, maybe he will cool off before requesting to see me again.I decided to carry out the task Nurse Ella asked me to do then I saw Melissa being discharged and she was with her aunt, they both waved at me and I smiled while approaching them saying, “I am so happy for you and I will miss you.”“Thank you so much nurse.” She said hugging me and I smiled while playing with her hair then her aunt said to me
