All Chapters of Paging Doctor Heartbreaker: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

Irene peed in a cup, and the lab technician told her to have a great night as she was exiting the hospital.She didn’t think she could feel any worse about the situation. She had to stay an hour late while Haley and Ward interrogated Sine, Gavin, Kiki, and anyone else who was on the clock, each separately and behind the closed doors of the office.Irene insisted she didn’t take the medications and Ward said he believed her, but it didn’t change the fact that they were stolen under her name. She had thought again and again about what could have happened, and the only thing that made sense was that she forgot to log out when she was getting the medicine for Mason.Other nurses had forgotten to log out. Andy forgot all the time, but she always cleared his screen if she saw it left open on the computer, not that he was setting a great example. It was foolish and someone obviously forgot to extend the same courtesy to her.Irene slid into her car and cranked the heat as high as it would go

Dr. Swift met her eyes and smiled, but it was slightly pained. “I wanted to make sure he got home alright. And he… he said he wanted to come here.” It almost sounded like she was asking permission, so she must not be aware he had been waiting on him for hours. And what was she doing, bring him home?“Where’s Andy?” she asked.“I don’t know. I never saw him.” She looked confused.Irene wanted to interrogate her but Brenden slumping against her while pathetically trying to molest her neck with his mouth was a detriment. He must have forgotten their audience, or else he was just kinky when he was drunk. Nonetheless, she was just a tiny bit thrilled that, even drunk, he chose to kiss her over Dr. Swift. That he missed Irene.But when he tried to grope her boob, she had to call an intervention. She grabbed his hand and forced a smile for Dr. Swift.“Oh. Well… thanks for bringing him home.” Dr. Swift nodded, looking anywhere but at them. “Will you wait here just a second? I want to ask you

“Are you sure, Irene? There were a lot of people in the room.”“Yes, I’m sure. And anyway, Dr. Swift was there too.”Brenden was confused. “Dr. Swift?”“Yes. She was in the nurses station during the code. No one was around to see her… so what if she took them?”“Why would she take them?” he sounded doubtful, and she was irrationally annoyed that he was sticking up for her.“She hates me,” Irene explained. “Or maybe she is a pill popper. I don’t know. She gave me a look.”“A look?” Now he was incredulous.“Yes, a look. I can’t explain it. You would’ve known if you saw it.” And there it was. She sounded stupid. “I have this feeling, Brenden,” she persisted.“Just because she gave you a look doesn’t mean she stole pills. She could lose her medical license for that.”We could lose our nursing licenses too. Someone took the drugs.““It took over ten years to become a surgeon, Irene. Most surgeons aren’t going to throw that away for a handful of drugs.”Irene hopped down from the counter an

On her lunch break, she slipped down to the unit to check on Mason. It was not visiting hours, so no family was in his room. It was dim and quiet, the only noise coming from the steady hum of the ventilator. The tube going down his throat looked painful. There was a bite block around it and Irene could see some dried blood on the corner of his lip from where he likely bit his tongue.She grabbed a wet wipe from the box on his table and prepared to wipe his mouth with it. “This is going to be cold,” she warned him. He didn’t respond and the temperature had no effect. But she believed, wholeheartedly, that people who were sedated could hear you.She pulled one of the wooden chairs close to his bed and sat down. For a while, she just sat there while she enjoyed the peacefulness of his quiet room.“I got mad at Brenden last night,” she said eventually. “He went out drinking and I couldn’t get a hold of him. Then I found out his ex-girlfriend was with him, but he saw her at the bar. They d

“Can I come by your place tonight?” He was hopeful again.“What time do you get off?”“Soon. I hope.” He checked his watch. “I should be off before you.”“I can’t just go to your place when I get off,” she offered.“Sure, it doesn’t matter.”Her hands were still on his face. I can’t bring myself to pull it away, to lose this connection with him. It had only been a day, but it felt like their fight had lasted for a century.She trailed her fingers across his cheek, down his neck. She grabbed the collar of his shirt and tugged slightly. He leaned forward from her pull, hesitating for just a moment before gently pressing his lips to hers. His movements were soft and timid, but as soon as she increased the pressure, he opened his mouth to hers and claimed her lips with a desperate longing.She sighed against him and for the first time all day, it no longer hurt to breathe..“Your drug test came back negative,” Haley informed her in her office.“Yeah?” she kept her face passive. She had k
