All Chapters of Dr. KILLER : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Karma's POVThe first thing I noticed when I opened my eyes was that my head felt unusually heavy. The second thing I noticed was that Noah was already awake.He was lying beside me, propped against the headboard with a book in one hand, though I doubted he had read more than a page. The moment he felt me stir, his attention shifted completely to me."Morning," he said softly. I managed a weak smile. "Morning." His brows furrowed almost immediately."You don't look okay.""I probably just slept badly.""You don't sound convinced." I tried sitting up, but the room tilted just enough to make me pause.Noah was beside me before I could pretend nothing had happened. "Karma.""I'm fine.""No, you're not.""It's probably stress, I've also been right." He placed the back of his hand against my forehead.His touch was cool and gentle. "You feel warm.""I don't.""You do.""I've performed surgery with a fever before.""That's reckless," he replied calmly. "Which is exactly why I'm not letting

Karma's POVBy the time Dr. Keller and I finished reviewing Yvonne Williams' scans, the hospital had grown unusually quiet.Most of the consultants had already gone home, leaving only the night staff moving through the corridors with hushed voices and tired smiles.I looked at the CT angiography one final time. "There," I said, pointing at the screen.Adrian leaned closer. "What is it?""The aneurysm isn't impossible."He frowned slightly. "I know that.""No." I shook my head. "We've been looking at it from the wrong angle."I reached for a marker and sketched a rough outline on the transparent film lying over the scan."If we expose the vessel from here instead of extending the incision the conventional way, we'll have enough room to gain proximal control without placing unnecessary tension on the weakened wall."Adrian stared at the drawing, then back at the scan. A slow smile spread across his face."I didn't even consider that.""It isn't the standard approach.""But it gives us a

Karma's POV"Little Karma?" She asked again, her eyes almost bulging out from its socket.The words hit me so unexpectedly that I forgot how to breathe. For a second, I simply stared at the woman lying on the hospital bed.“Little Karma.” she said again, her voice rising a notch.I nodded at her when I finally got myself from the shock of being called that name. Only Dami's mom called me ‘My little Karma, enter the car let me drop you off.’ she would often say. No one had called me that in years. Mrs. Williams looked at me again, her tired eyes filling with tears before a slow smile spread across her face."My goodness..." she whispered. "It really is you." Before I could react, she pushed herself up despite the discomfort and opened her arms.I stood frozen.Dr. Adrian Keller glanced between us in confusion. Mrs. Williams didn't seem to notice."Come here."My feet moved before my mind could stop them. The moment I stepped close enough, she wrapped her arms around me."Oh, Little Kar

Yvonne's POVI looked at Little Karma for a long moment.There was something in her eyes that reminded me so much of Dami, she still carried the same sadness and the same heaviness that she carried as a child. She was always too mature for her age. Refusing offers and choosing to do things herself. It made me wonder just how much life had asked of this young woman before she became the successful doctor sitting in front of me.I let out a slow breath."I never got the answers I wanted," I said quietly. She didn't interrupt, but she simply listened."The doctors told me my daughter had suffered severe internal injuries." My voice shook despite my efforts to keep it steady."They said she had been... violated." The word caught in my throat. "It took me years before I could even say it aloud."Little Karma's fingers tightened around mine. I continued."She never told me who did it, she didn't even talk around those periods. I kept hoping she would wake up and tell me, telling myself that

Karma's POVThe burnt smell still lingered faintly in the apartment even after Noah had opened every window in the kitchen."I really don't think that pot can still be saved," he said, dropping it into the sink.I folded my arms with a dramatic sigh."Of course it should be saved, but if not, then we can say it sacrificed itself for the sake of our love."He laughed. "It sacrificed itself because you forgot it on the stove.""I was distracted.""By what?" "Trying to get the recipe and you I guess." He paused for just a second before smiling. "I'll accept that excuse.""I knew you would." He reached over and kissed my forehead."As much as I'd love to pretend your cooking is edible, I think we should order pizza.""I was hoping you'd say that." Twenty minutes later, we were sitting cross-legged on the living room rug with two pizza boxes spread open between us. The television was on, but neither of us was paying attention to it, I watched Noah take a bite before leaning back against t
