Chapter 89 ~ Your patient

ATHENA

"Dr. Dawson, explain what can cause a series of cardiac arrests," Leah's voice slices through the room like a damn Scalpel.

My heart sinks.

Of course she'd call on me. Of all people.

It's been two days since I saw her son since Rayen threw his arms around me like

he knew me from another lifetime. Since Alex stared at me like the world had tilted sideways.

I hate that bastard but I'm grateful that he helped me with my panic attack. I've been getting help, and it's better, I actually thought it's gone.

So I guess I'll have to see D.r Quinn and let him know. I would have kept it a secret, but it won't help me, and if I'm going to take care of my patients, then I need to be my best self.

I've been trying to breathe normally ever since Alex's hands held me so tightly like

I would slip out of his hands if he loosened even a little.

I hate how fast my heart was beating. I hate him. Maybe I should have hit his head for touching me.

Help or not!

Maybe that's why her royal highness was nowhere to be seen yesterday. She must have been getting pampered after he felt guilty for even touching me.

But being a cheater he is, I doubt he has a conscience!
