Ex-Hockey Star Regret의 모든 챕터: 챕터 171 - 챕터 178

Brad's POVI was able to get the food so fast in a nearby 5-star restaurant that I used my Google map to locate as I had headed to the parking space where I had parked my car.And I chose to go there because the reviews from other customers who had patronized before now were mind blowing and so, I decided to try them out.The place was nice and it was safe to say that the restaurant didn't mess around with quality.I ordered grilled chicken with extra spicy sauce. Got a container of fresh strawberries on the side. I even added some juice.The whole time I was there, my mind was on Nicole. Picturing her waking up, seeing the food and maybe smiling.That thought alone had made the wait worth it.On getting back to the hospital, Detective Joe was back already.I spotted him the moment I walked through the entrance.And he was with the other 3 officers and also sitting with Mr. Pius Anders.They were gathered near the waiting area, talking in low voices and also looking all serious.I not

Mr. Pius Anders POVDr. Chen moved to the side of Sophia's bed and started preparing to take her blood sample."Miss Anders, I need to take some blood for routine testing." He said professionally. "Just to check your levels after the transfusion."Sophia barely glanced at him as she had her eyes fixed on me.Waiting and hoping for something I couldn't give her anymore."Daddy, please. I know I messed up. I know I did something terrible but I can change and I promise that I can get better. Just give me another chance. I mean, this last chance."Another chance. Like I hadn't already given her a dozen chances before this.How many times had I heard those exact words? How many times had she promised to change, to do better, to be different?And how many times had she broken those promises?Dr. Chen wrapped the tourniquet around Sophia's arm.She winced slightly but kept talking."I wasn't thinking straight. I was angry and probably I was hurt. Brad chose her over me and I just... I lost c

Brad's POV"I learnt that some man donated his blood to me as the hospital ran out of the blood in their blood bank. Can I know or see who the man is, so that I can at least thank him? Not everyone would do that for me, you know."Just when everything was going down well, Nicole asked one question that for some reasons I didn't really want her to know about in the first place.Because I knew how twisted that could get her emotions on getting to know the answer to the question. Even though she had kept her voice casual, the question felt all off.Honestly, I could tell that the look on my face when she asked that question must have conveyed the information that there was something I didn't feel quite comfortable opening up to her about, no matter how much I tried to maintain a straight face.I felt my chest tighten and my hands went slightly clammy.How was I supposed to tell her this? How was I supposed to explain that the father of the girl who'd tried to kill her was the one who'd s

Author's POVJust like Dr. Park had said that he would stay late to monitor the process, just to make sure that everything runs smoothly, he actually did.And with regards to that, he left very late, around 11pm or so.He'd checked the thermal cycler every hour, watched the DNA amplification progress, made notes and documented everything.By the time he finally left the lab, his eyes were tired. His back ached from sitting but he felt confident the process was running correctly.Meanwhile, Dr. Mitchell kept to her words and came in early the next day just like she said to her colleague, Dr. Park, the previous day.As early as 6:00am, she was already at work.The lab was quiet and empty at that hour, that it was just her and the machines in there.Just on getting to the lab, the first thing she did was turn on the lights and check the security log to make sure no one had accessed the lab overnight.Then she went to her workstation., powered on her computer and logged into the system.S
