LILY’S POVThis time I was in the process of entering new information into the patient’s file when my phone rang. Glancing at the screen idly, I noticed that it was from an unknown number. Many times I remember refusing to answer calls during work periods, especially if I was on shiftI lifted it up thinking that it would be another routine issue to address and then the voice on the other line sounded panicked.“Dr. Jayden?” Ayla’s class-teacher seemed beyond anxious when answering. “It’s about your daughter: Ayla fainted at the school today and she was taken to the hospital.”My blood ran cold.‘what?’ I squeaked, my voice trembling with panic more than I would have wanted. My hands were shaking and I tried to contain myself as I reached out to grab my bag while the rest of the conversation went in one ear and out the other. Fainted? Hospital?“I’m coming right now!” I said before hanging up the phone and rushing towards the car that I own.The ride to the hospital felt like an etern

Lily PovBACK TO PRESENTMateo said softly, "Lily," as he leaned in toward me in the chair next to me. “I've been talking with the hospital. They have accepted both of us means I’ll be working there as well. They also assured me to search for a compatible donor for Ayla.”I held my head in a slight curve, as a wave of thankfulness washed over me. “Thank you, Mateo. I don’t know what my life would look like without you.”He said gently , however, I could tell that concern was there in his eyes. Even though his confidence should have calmed me, the dread I felt deep within wouldn’t subside. The chances of finding a match for Ayla were so slim.The harder it became to ignore the reality of what was coming each day. Isaac. His family. The things I had buried for such a long time. The closer we got to Los Angeles, the closer I came to the edge of the truth being revealed.“But there is one thing,” Mateo said slowly, as if measuring his words and trying not to say something incorrectly. “I

LILY POVI ran into my apartment, and my shaking hands caused me to fumble with the keys. I felt an increased heartbeat, and a jolt that was similar to seeing a ghost. No, worse than a ghost. Isaac. He was back, and he owned the entire Equinex Company and Equinex Lab was just a part of it. I had walked right into his territory without even realizing it. How could I have been so blind?I could not believe that I had been so naive. I was still standing by the door, trying to catch my breath and my whole body felt weak and ready to crumple on the ground. I felt a shock when I came to know that the person I wanted to approach for helping me in a new beginning in my research was Mr. Walker and he was no more than a manager.Isaac was the owner of the entire lab. The only man I tried to escape for years. And now he knew I was back.I shut my eyes, wanting the fear to disappear, and fell off the door. I needed to see Ayla. I had to remind myself of the reasons I was embarking on this, of wha

LILY’S POVToday the hospital felt different. Not only were my jitters making the air tense, but so was the weight of everything I was trying to hide. While our hearts were heavy, Mateo and I walked in together. I thought about Ayla all the time. She got in with Mateo's name instead of mine because I couldn't tell Isaac or Henry. I wasn't ready to answer the things they asked. Mateo agreed right away and pretended to be Ayla's father to keep us safe. Even though I was thankful, it made things feel even more difficult. We have requested the hospital keep it low profile that Mateo is a doctor also getting treatment. Mr. Walker had greeted us warmly and acknowledged both my study on cancer treatment and my return to the hospital as a doctor. That's why I came back in the first place: Ayla's illness made me want to learn more about cancer so I could understand how to save her. Mateo, who had taken care of Ayla's case after him, was even welcomed by Mr. Walker. Everything looked so good

Lily’s POVAs I turned, the thought that Isaac was close made my heart heavy. But what I saw shocked me more than I thought it would. Isaac was there with Susan, who used to be my best friend and the woman I trusted and who I met him with years ago. The lie that broke me down. She was back, a famous doctor after a successful study trip where she made a big step forward in how to treat asthma. It looked like they were closer than ever.The whispers around the room only added salt to the wound. "Susan might soon be Mrs. Watson," they said. Isaac's wife. It was like getting hit in the face with those words. He wasn't different at all. Seeing him smile at her made me feel like nothing from our past had happened. As if he hadn't already told me I was his and then lied to me in the worst way.I felt a sharp pain, but I tried to push it down. Once a cheater, always a cheater. How did I forget that? It was silly of me to think that things could be different. Isaac may have claimed to still car
