Chapter 105 ~ I don't want to!

ATHENA

"Thank you for everything, Noah, I really mean it." I reach over and squeeze his hand.

He flashes me his handsome smile, "You know I'd do anything for you. Now go in there before I'm forced to say what I'm not supposed to."

I shake my head at that threat and lean over, I place a small kiss on his cheek, and then I rush into the hospital, feeling better than I felt when I left Alex's office.

Months back, he and Zayan have been trying to get me to go out on a date, but I think that will just ruin what we already have, so it's better for us to only be friends. "There she is!" lan flashes me his eye shutting smile and my cheeks warm.

"Dr. Quin." I nod, mirroring his smile.

"Come with me." He says as he starts walking towards the office and I frown.

lan rarely calls me to his office, and with how he's mostly smiling, you never know what bomb he's about to drop.

We step into his office, and I close the door behind me, still trying to figure out if I should be nervous or not. Ian gestures for me to sit, but he doesn't take his seat. He just stands there, hands in his pockets, rocking slightly on his heels like he's trying to find the right words.

"lan?" I prompt, my brows furrowing. "You're kind of freaking me out."

He laughs lightly, but there's something off in his eyes. "Sorry. I didn't mean to be dramatic, I just... needed a moment to word this right."

My chest tightens. "Is it about a patient?"

"No," he says quickly. "Not exactly."

I stare at him, waiting.

"It's about your parents, Athena." he finally says. "They were the best in this field, and I know they were working on a drug."

Everything in me goes still.
