As the doors to the operating theater closed, I kept my gaze fixed on the three people I loved most; I wanted to commit their faces to memory. Once these doors closed, I knew I would never see them again. As anesthesia dulled my senses, the world around me faded away.

Montreal?” “You need to go south,” he suggested lazily, the connotation unmistakable as his eyes glazed with unfettered desire, the green shining like two precious emeralds as his lips came out to take possession of hers, warning her that his patience was wearing thin.

Perhaps, it could be the reason why he felt so distance from Lucy recently. His love towards her has run cold, and his interest has begin to vanish into a thick air. It could be because Lucy was hiding something from him, and he hated liars and cheaters. Like what had happened between him and the other girls.

"For sure Caleb is feeling the same thing. It's way harder for him since he's in a different country." He added.

Natalie realized that Yvonne was worried she might cave, so she cleared her throat and gave her a solemn reassurance, saying, "You can rest assured that any feelings I had for Lester died four years ago, Yvonne." Yvonne let out a sigh of relief after hearing Natalie's response, then reminded her to get some rest before leaving the hotel.
