All Chapters of Dr. KILLER : Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

Karma's POVBy the time evening came, I was still at the hospital, surrounded by the same uncertainty that had swallowed the place whole.Every corridor reminded me of what was happening.The investigators were still moving through departments, staff were being questioned, and the hospital that had once been my pride now felt like a place I was waiting to lose.I sat behind my desk, staring at a patient's file without actually reading it.My mind was somewhere else, then my phone rang and I glanced at the screen.Helena.I answered immediately. "Hello?""I need you."Her voice was low and serious. I straightened in my chair. "Where?""I'll send someone for you.""Helena, I'm still at the hospital.""I know."There was something in the way she said it that made me pause. "What happened?""You'll find out when you get here." I leaned back."Is it another one?" I asked, she was quiet for some time before she answered. "Yes."I closed my eyes briefly, of course it was. "Send Roland.""He i

Karma's POVSaturday came quietly.For the first time in what felt like forever, I woke up without an alarm, without a call from the hospital and without someone demanding my attention before I had even opened my eyes.I lay in bed for a few minutes, staring at the ceiling, and beside me, Noah was still asleep, the room was quiet, peaceful, normal and I had almost forgotten what normal felt like, almost.My thoughts drifted despite myself. Richardson Vance.The name appeared in my mind without warning.For a brief moment, I was back in that hospital room again, the machines and the monitors.His body lying helplessly on the bed. The sound of the alarm when his condition began to deteriorate.I closed my eyes. He was dead now, and no one could connect his death to me. That was what Helena had assured me.The surgery had been complicated. His health had already been failing. His death had been unfortunate, but medically explainable.There were no questions, no suspicions, nothing at all

Karma's POVMonday arrived far too quickly, the weekend had passed in a way I hadn't expected.For once, I had allowed myself to forget everything that had to do with the hospital and also to forget the secrets I was keeping.I had spent time with Noah. We had laughed, eaten together, moved my things, visited his parents and, for a brief moment, I had felt something dangerously close to peace.It had been the best weekend I had experienced since getting married. Maybe even before then, but peace, apparently, had an expiration date.By Monday morning, reality was waiting for me.I stepped out of my car and stood at the parking lot for a while, I looked at the building ahead of me, nothing about it looked different, the same structure, the same entrance and the same large glass doors, yet everything had changed.The hospital was still under investigation. Staff members were still being questioned. Patients had been transferred, records were being examined and somewhere beneath all of it

Karma's POVDetective Hale arrived less than an hour after I called.By then, Adrian Keller's car had been secured, and the section of the staff parking lot where it was parked had been blocked off.I stood near the entrance with Sandra when Detective Hale stepped out of his vehicle.Two officers followed behind him. His expression was serious. It wasn't the expression of someone arriving to investigate a doctor who had simply failed to show up for work.It was the expression of someone who already suspected that something was wrong."Dr. Kuntz," he said as he approached me."Detective.""Tell me everything."I nodded. We walked toward my office, and I explained what Sandra had told me. Adrian had been missing since Friday.His girlfriend hadn't heard from him, neither had his mother. His mother had told us that the last time she spoke to him, he said he had something work-related to do.He had come to the hospital and his car had remained in the staff parking lot ever since.Detectiv

Still nothing, no one said anything. I nodded slowly."Fine." I responded as I looked around one final time."And until further notice, I want everyone to be cautious."Several people frowned. "Be aware of your surroundings."My eyes moved across the room. "Don't go into restricted areas without a reason. Don't leave the hospital alone late at night if you can avoid it."I hesitated, I didn't want to scare them. But I also couldn't pretend that everything was normal."And if anything feels unusual, report it."A nurse raised her hand slightly."Ma'am?""Yes?""Are we in danger?"The question made the room completely silent and I looked at her, for a second, I didn't know what to say.Because I didn't know, I wanted to tell her no.I wanted to reassure everyone.But after everything that had happened, I really didn't know what to do or say."That's what we're trying to find out, but I can assure you that nothing is happening," I finally said after a long silence.Her expression changed
