All Chapters of Dr. KILLER : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Karma's POVBy the time Saturday morning arrived, I woke up feeling lighter than I had in weeks.The board meeting was behind me, although the investigation still awaits, but I really can't dwell on that for now. Yvonne's surgery had been scheduled, and for once, there wasn't an emergency waiting for me the moment I opened my eyes.My phone vibrated on the bedside table.Noah: Be ready in an hour. No excuses. I'm stealing you for the entire weekend.A smile spread across my face before I could stop it.Me: Stealing a doctor sounds like a crime, Detective.His reply came almost immediately.Noah: Then arrest me later.I laughed to myself as I got out of bed.An hour later, his familiar black SUV pulled up outside my apartment. I stepped out wearing a simple cream sundress with my hair tied loosely behind my head. Noah leaned casually against the driver's door, dressed in jeans and a navy-blue shirt with the sleeves rolled to his forearms.The moment his eyes landed on me, he smiled. "Y

Noah's POVBy the time we finished getting ready, I couldn't stop looking at Karma.She walked out of my bedroom wearing the navy-blue dress we'd bought earlier that afternoon. It hugged her figure perfectly without being overly revealing, and she had paired it with simple silver earrings and low heels. Her hair fell loosely over her shoulders, framing a face that had somehow managed to steal my heart without my permission.For a long moment, I simply stared. She laughed nervously. "What?" I walked over to her slowly."You are breathtaking." A blush immediately spread across her cheeks."You've said that at least five times already.""I've only said it five times because I haven't had enough time to say it fifty."She rolled her eyes, though the smile on her face betrayed how pleased she was. "You really know how to flatter someone.""I'm not flattering you." I tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear."I'm telling the truth."She looked away shyly before straightening the collar

Karma's POVI still didn't understand why I was angry. Or perhaps angry wasn't the right word, I was hurt, I was very confused, and equally frustrated.Ever since the dinner at Noah's parents' house, something had shifted between us. The strange part was that it hadn't started that evening. Looking back now, I realized his mood had begun changing even before we left for his parents' place. During our weekend together, there were moments when he'd go quiet, staring into space as though something was weighing heavily on his mind. Whenever I asked if he was alright, he'd smile and tell me he was fine.He wasn't.I knew Noah well enough to know when he was pretending. And now… I refused to talk to him, I don't even want to give him an audience until he possibly gets his shit together.The drive to the hospital that Tuesday morning felt unusually long, he didn't come to my house today to drive me to the hospital and I didn't care. I had ignored him in the parking lot the previous evening,

Karma's POVHis words refused to leave my head, it kept on echoing from within. "I want to make you my wife."For several seconds, I simply stared at him. Noah didn't look away. He didn't laugh as though it had been a joke, he wasn't teasing me and it was as though he meant every single word.My heart was beating so loudly I wondered if he could hear it. "You..." I finally whispered. "You can't just say something like that."A small smile tugged at the corner of his lips. He shrugged without saying anything. "You've completely shocked me.""I know I have."I shook my head, laughing softly despite myself. "You've always known how to catch me off guard." I tried to sideline what he had said."I've been thinking about it for a long time." His voice was calm, steady. My mind went haywire, ‘oh! He's serious’ I thought to myself "I didn't say it because I was scared that you weren't ready. But I just have to say it now because it's truly how I feel.” He took another step toward me until th

Karma's POVThe doors of Theatre Two slid open as Yvonne was wheeled inside. The atmosphere shifted immediately.Outside, there had been conversations, reassuring smiles, and gentle words.Inside… everything became clinical, focused and precise.I watched as the nurses transferred Yvonne onto the operating table while the anesthesiologist began running through the final checks."Blood pressure stable.""Oxygen saturation ninety-nine percent.""IV access secured." I looked toward Dr. Adrian Keller. "You've reviewed the CT angiography one last time?"He nodded, already flipping through the digital images displayed on the monitor. "I have.""The aneurysm extends farther than we initially expected.""I noticed." He pointed toward the screen."This section worries me." I folded my arms, studying the scan."The vessel wall here is extremely thin. If it ruptures… we'll lose her within minutes," I finished quietly. He nodded."Exactly."I remained silent for a few moments before speaking."W
