Chapter fifty-two Emily “Come on, Doctor Hernandez. Show me your hospital.” I walked ahead without waiting for his response. I could hear his footsteps behind me, steady and unhurried. For some reason, I was suddenly very aware of him. Not in the way I usually was. Normally, Seth's presence irritated me. It made me conscious of every word I said and every expression that crossed my face. But today felt different. Maybe it was because I had just spent nearly two hours sitting beside him in that boardroom without arguing once. Or maybe it was because his mother had just walked away after telling me things about him that didn't quite fit the image I had created in my head. Either way, I didn't like how curious I had suddenly become. “So where are we going?” I asked. “Cardiology first.” I stopped. He nearly walked into me. I turned around. “Cardiology?” He nodded. “You seemed surprised earlier.” “I was.” “Why?” I folded my arms. “Because I always thought you were a

Chapter fifty-four Emily There were some days when the past felt very far away. Then there were days when it appeared in front of you without warning. That morning, I thought I was having one of the former. I was wrong. I had spent most of the morning trying to convince myself that I was overthinking everything. Not after what he had said about trust. The strange phone calls. The threatening message. The things Seth refused to explain. Even the conversation I'd overheard. Individually, none of them meant much. Together, they felt like pieces of a puzzle I didn't know how to solve. I was overthinking them all. I was standing near the reception desk, waiting for a file I had asked of the nurses to deliver, when I heard someone call my name. I was in my hospital this time with Seth promising to be here any moment from now. We are still in the process of knowing how to combine both hospitals. Not the merger type. It's already merged. It's the handling both type from Seth a

Chapter fifty-sixEmilyAsk him about your mother.The words followed me for the rest of the day.I tried to work.I really did.I sat behind my desk, went through patient files, responded to emails, signed documents and reviewed the reports from Gifted Hands.But none of it stayed in my head for more than a few seconds.My mother. This whole threat has resulted in now mentioning my mother?Why would anyone tell me to ask Seth about her?What could he possibly know?I leaned back in my chair and closed my eyes.No.I wasn't going to start imagining things.Not again.I had already spent enough time allowing Tristan's words to get inside my head. I wasn't going to let an anonymous person do the same thing.But then I remembered Seth's face.That moment when I had asked if the threats had anything to do with him.He hadn't answered.He had simply told me...Soon. Very soon.I opened my eyes.“That isn't an answer.”I muttered to myself.My phone remained on the desk in front of me.I di

Chapter fifty-eightThird person Far away from the hospital noise, the hearts chaos, the emotional tension of both couples. A building could be seen. Built with intentionality.Built not to attract. The muted ash colour was what makes it less catching. As if it was built for something specific. Something like, a gang house where dealings occur. Like the mafias, only that this isn't mafia dealings.Inside of the building are men of five. With the presence of two ladies. A total of seven of them.“What are the odds that this would work. It's the same old tactics we have been using.” A man, thick with dark full beards said. “I concur.” another man said, nodding his head to what the first had said.“Relax. You all know the kind of person SP is. Once he says do this just know he has already know the outcome.” It was one of the women that spoke this time.The man being referred to as the SP chuckled. His head bowed down as he laughed so hard it vibrated the inside of ths building.The

Chapter sixtyEmilyThree hours after I'd gotten home and Seth still hadn't arrived. After I'd seen his call.I simply chose not to answer it.After everything that had happened earlier, I wasn't ready to hear his voice.Not after hearing the conversation he heard with Isabel. Not after the things I had been trying so hard not to think about.I placed my phone on the bedside table and turned away from it.If Seth wanted to talk, he could wait until I was ready.At least, that was what I told myself.I went downstairs and tried to eat dinner, but I barely touched the food.My mind kept going back to the hospital.To the way Seth had looked when he saw Isabel.To the way he had followed her into that room.To the fact that he had called me afterward.Why?Was he trying to explain?Was he angry because I had been avoiding him?Or was there something else?I pushed my plate away."I don't care."The words sounded unconvincing even to me.I picked up my phone again.His call was still th
