Beyond Caring Novels & Stories

Liam narrowed his eyes slightly as he calmly asked, "Is your commitment to saving lives limited to the wealthy, ignoring the poor?" Scott shook his head. "Grandmaster Burrey, I don't agree with your statement. In our medical community, we have never ignored the poor to only treat the wealthy. Even when Naomi's condition deteriorated, we didn't abandon her. Miss Gunter stepped in to help." Scott continued, as if it was self-evident. "However, human energy is limited, and naturally, we can only care for a finite number of patients. In contrast, Grandmaster Burrey, you've just saved one little girl, yet you speak with such righteous indignation."

I ask. He puts aside his notepad and removes his glasses. "These are symptoms of being separated from your mate. It is worse now that there is a baby. I am not in a position to offer any advice, but I think it would be harmful to the baby in the long run if both of you stay separated."

The dormitory lights clicked off at eleven and I lay in the dark counting every breath like it might be the last one that still belonged to me. The key was warm in my palm. I kept running my thumb across the letters scratched into the metal and trying to decide what they meant now. T-O-B-Y. Either the most real thing in this place or the most carefully constructed lie I had ever been handed.

That was when I knew that his ridiculous methods to comfort me were used only on me. Myles treated me as more than a patient, and it had crossed the line of a doctor-patient relationship. I started to consider drawing a line between us and keeping my distance by visiting the hospital when he was not around, and getting his assistant to help with my rehabilitation instead. However, the first time I attempted it, Myles noticed it right away. He did not shy away from the issue when he saw me trying to keep my distance. "Are you avoiding me?" His candor made it difficult for me to hide from it. "I don't think it's appropriate for you to treat me so well."

"What else could it mean when you let an outsider into your private space and give her special treatment?" "It was necessary for work," Matthew said, his voice barely a whisper. "Necessary for work?" I scoffed. "Well, my business choices are necessary for work too." I turned to Adrian. "You've been in business long enough to know that when you can't count on your partner anymore, the smart move is to walk away before it gets worse. Matthew had chosen to betray our relationship, so I had to look out for myself." Adrian gave me a long, approving look. "You're spot on. In business, letting your feelings rule is a surefire way to lose everything."

"You're trying to call affection 'optimal resource allocation.' You try to classify care as 'efficient resource management.' Why is it so terrifying for you to simply call it caring?" ​He stood up, walking toward the window, his back rigid. "Caring is subjective, Elara. It is a vector for unexpected emotional loss. My system—my life—was designed to eliminate subjective variables. The only reason I allow this partnership is because your insight provides a necessary edge against the threat of my family. It is a high-level strategic alliance, not... not emotional entanglement." The denial was sharp, but the underlying vulnerability, the raw memory of the pre-term infant struggling to survive al

“I already warned you, but yet, you still continue with your plan.” Desiree was caught off guard by her best friend's words. Growing up as her mother's only and spoiled child, she was used to getting everything she wanted. However, after her mother passed away six years ago and her father's recent engagement to her stepmother, it had been difficult for her to accept that her father had moved on and replaced her mother. “You know, why don't you go to your dad and apologize?” Sophia suggested, as if that were the only solution for Desiree. “That's all it takes to resolve this issue. We both know that they can't resist you, so stop being so hard on yourself.”

He gazed back at her, his eyes filled with love and admiration. For a moment, they simply stood there, lost in each other's embrace. The world around them faded away, and all that existed was the two of them, entwined in a fiery embrace. But as the passion began to subside, Samantha's mind was filled with doubts. What about her children? What about Lucas? Could she abandon them for a life as the Lycan Queen? Alexander seemed to sense her doubts, pulling away from her slightly. He looked into her eyes, his expression serious.

Jaiden walked back to the table taking his pen and again engrossed himself in the work. LUNA The bus was moving steadily on the road heading to the forest. The road leading to the destination was a clean wide one surrounded by the rows of trees. The vegetation density kept increasing as they keep going ahead. The weather was also pleasant with sun shining through the clouds. Trisha and Nina were watching some episodes of one of their favourite teen drama sharing the earphone. They were completely into the scene on the screen while I was still gazing out of window. I have no interest in those they just hype up your standard always making you feel incomplete.

Hey readers I know I'm not giving proper updates to this book. I am extremely sorry about it. I have been quite busy because of my studies, and I have to wrap up my other story, "Love Me Again." The story has few chapters left, and then I'll continue another book in it with the story of next generation. So, I am focusing more on it as it's about to end. Soon, I'll come up with new chapters for Beyond The Time.
