Lahat ng Kabanata ng Doctor, Please Be My Wife Again: Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

(Aliana's POV)“Aliana…” Delvin whispered again, his voice weak.My heart thundered heavily against my chest. Is he already awake? So soon?I never wanted him to see me. I had only come here to quietly check on his condition and leave, hoping that before he woke up, another doctor would have already been assigned to him. Someone else who could take over his care without making things complicated. But now he was awake, and he had just called out my name.I swallowed hard and slowly turned back toward him, only to see that his eyes were still closed.I frowned in confusion as I moved closer. For a terrifying moment, I froze, realizing he hadn’t even fully regained consciousness, yet he had mumbled my name in that unconscious state.What did it even mean?“Aren’t you done checking on him?” Belicia’s voice cut through the air. “I’m sorry, but I don’t completely trust you alone around him.”I ignored her, my eyes still fixed on Delvin for a moment. I wanted to make sure he was actually f

(Delvin's POV)My entire body froze the moment our eyes met. My heart pounded heavily in my chest. How… how was she here?For a moment, I thought I was hallucinating her again. Maybe the anesthesia had affected my mind. But it hadn’t... and I wasn’t imagining her either.This time, it was real. That was Aliana.“Aliana…”Her name slipped from my lips, soft and careful, as if I was afraid that if I said it too loudly, she would disappear.Her steps faltered for a brief moment, and her eyes held something I couldn’t understand. But almost immediately, her expression hardened as she continued walking toward me.“Aliana…” I whispered again.My heart raced as I tried to get up, but I was still too weak, and the sharp pain in my side stopped me.“It’s best you lie still, Mr. Barrington. Your incisions are still fresh,” she said calmly, her tone distant.“Yes, Delvin, lie still,” my mum added quickly, holding me down. “You shouldn’t strain your body right now.”I wanted to stay still. I real

(Aliana’s POV)"Come on, dad, pick the call," I mumbled, panic clear in my voice as I dialed his number over and over again, but he still wasn’t answering.Just a moment ago, he had called me, saying that some men were in his shop and that I should come quickly. I didn’t know what was happening, but from the way he sounded, I knew something was wrong.So I ran out of Delvin’s room as fast as I could and rushed to my car. My heart was pounding hard, and my hands were slightly shaking on the steering wheel as I drove to his coffee shop.After a while, I got there. But the moment I stepped inside, I froze at the door, my eyes widening in shock.There were about seven men in the shop. All of them were holding batons, smashing and destroying everything around them."What the hell is going on here!" I shouted, my voice sharp enough to get all their attention.Everyone paused for a moment and turned to look at me."And who the hell are you?" one of the men asked, his face tight with anger.H

(Aliana's POV)"Ahh…" my dad winced, shutting his eyes in pain. "Take it easy, Ali. It hurts."I shot him a glare sharp enough to cut glass. If he wasn’t my dad, I wouldn’t even bother treating his wound.Those men must have hit him hard. His lips were already swollen, and he should be grateful I was kind enough to treat it."You have a cut that needs to be cleaned. And it won’t clean itself," I said, unbothered, as I pressed the cotton swab against his lips a little harder.He winced again and pulled back."Bring it closer, Dad. I don’t have all day," I said flatly, holding up the swab.My dad sighed and reached for it. "Let me do it myself then…""Absolutely not. I’m the doctor here."If he knew he couldn’t stand the sting of antiseptic, why do something that would make others hit him?"I’m beginning to think you’re doing this on purpose," he said. "You’re pouring your anger into this and indirectly punishing me.""You’re just figuring that out?" I muttered, my tone flat as I dipped

(Delvin's POV)Aliana was standing there, but she wasn’t alone. She stood just inches away from a man.The man wore a sharp, well-tailored suit. His hair was neatly styled, and his shoes shone under the morning light. His overall appearance was polished and expensive, almost identical to my own style.He looked about my age too, and I couldn’t deny that he was strikingly handsome. That meant Aliana clearly had a type.The man held her hand gently, looking into her eyes. His gaze dropped slowly to her lips, as if he might kiss her at any moment. And Aliana just stood there, smiling warmly… almost shyly.To anyone else watching, they looked perfect together, like two people deeply in love. But to me, the sight burned like acid in my chest."Who is he?" I asked, trying to stay calm, but my voice still came out rough.The workers blinked at me, clearly surprised by the question. I had heard them call him Director Fabian, but I needed to be sure he was actually a director in this hospital.
