All Chapters of Paging Doctor Heartbreaker: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

“How did you get my number?” he inquired.“This is important,” she said shortly, avoiding the question. “I’m taking care of your patient, whom you did a procedure on yesterday and her arm is very painful and swollen. I can’t get Dr. Silvia to call me back—”“Is this Brenden’s Irene?” he interrupted again.‘Is he even listening to me?’Irene hesitated. She thought about lying. “Yes,” she finally admitted.“Irene, just because you’re dating my son doesn’t mean you can call me for patients when I’m not on call.” His tone was chastising, like he was speaking to a five-year-old child. She swallowed back her annoyance.“Dr. Warren, I’m trying to tell you that this is important,” she pressed. “Her arm is unusually painful and the swelling is increasing rapidly—”“Everyone thinks their problem is important, Irene,” he interrupted again. “Unfortunately, I’m not at home and in no position to help you. I suggest you page Dr. Silvia again because it’s his job to make himself available to you this

“It is unacceptable for you to ignore my patient when you’re on-call.” Dr. Warren was beyond livid.“I told them I would be here shortly,” Dr. Silvia argued. “I was simply told that the incision was red and painful, which is perfectly normal with a surgical site infection and I ordered shots and a cell count—”“Interesting. Were you not advised to come see the patient?” Vin challenged. “Dr. Silvia, do you think yourself so attractive that the nurses would insist you come to the floor for the privilege of seeing your face? Surely—”Irene was dumbfounded. Was Vin Warren sticking up for her?“I’m aware of that Doctor Warren—”The supervisor stepped in and interrupted them, insisting that the patient required their attention and practically demanding that they stop bickering. Dr. Warren told Dr. Silvia that he would be operating and under no circumstances was Dr. Silvia to touch his patient in that lifetime.Dr. Silvia’s face turned into the same shade as the patient’s arm. For a moment,

The patient lived, but it was a close call. A lot of muscle tissue had to be removed and she was expected to endure months of rehabilitation. Even then, she was not predicted to regain full function.She was sent to the ICU after her surgery, where they monitored her all well. Irene saw her husband in the cafeteria and he updated Irene on her progress as well as his intentions to sue Dr. Silvia. Vin was in the clear, however, since he ended up coming when he wasn’t on-call.Irene told Talia this over coffee.“Do you think they could have sued him anyway?” Talia wondered as she bit down on her sandwich. “He wasn’t on-call, so technically it wasn’t his responsibility.”Irene shook her head. “Girl, I don’t know the law and one thing is for certain, it sure works in mysterious ways when it comes to our duties. Either way, I deserve a huge thank you,” she declared indignantly.“Now, now. Don’t hold your breath,” Talia mumbled. “After the dinner episode the two of you had, you should be gra

“Hey, I tried!” he protested quickly and she laughed before taking a big drink of her wine. It tasted different coming from a paper cup.Brenden dug through the bag and handed over her burger and fries. “No ketchup,” he said after a moment of searching.“You didn’t ask for any,” she reminded him.“I shouldn’t have to? Everyone eats ketchup with their fries.”“Not me.” She popped two fries into her mouth. “Ketchup is too messy.”“Is that your OCD talking?” he lectured her.“It’s not OCD. Ketchup is messy.”They talked about work as they ate. Brenden had a difficult patient he had to deal with the other day, about Mason who had been in the hospital for four days due to his pneumonia. She asked Brenden if he had met Mason’s granddaughter and he stated that he had met her once when she came to visit him at the hospital.Brenden said she was so shy around him that she hid behind her mom the whole time, but that Mason seemed absolutely taken with her.Once they were done eating, they threw

Irene went to fix the beeping pump. On her way, she ran into the tech and asked if she had time to go get Mason and she did. Irene caught up on giving out medications and when Mason got back to his room, she checked his blood pressure and made sure he was feeling okay after dialysis. All the requests was a lunch tray and a cup of ice.Brenden had taken to texting her dirty things while they were working. She guessed it helped pass the time and give both of them something to look forward to. But it had become an effective form of foreplay. They could barely keep their hands to themselves when they saw each other.Right then, she was trying to ignore a text from him. She wanted to read it in private, not around Andy, not under Kiki’s lethal gaze. But privacy was hard to come by unless she sneaked to the bathroom. She had already checked: it was already occupied.Andy would accuse her of having a ‘problem’ soon. Perhaps he would imply that she was ingesting too much cafeteria food. That
