Dear Ex Wife Please take me back by The Every Woman

Chapter 158

ATHENA

I sit at work as my head spins. I've tried to think of what would have caused Alex

to say that, but I come back empty every single time.

He wouldn't tell me what, and it's extremely frustrating!

"Dr. Dawson? We have an urgent patient who needs surgery." Nurse Mira says, and I nod.

I put my phone back in my coat and rush to to the OR.

Three hours later, I'm walking out, feeling like my bones are cracking. It's crazy how you think your body will get used only to be proven wrong over and over

again.

The fatigue never goes away. And the back pains only get worse. But none of that matters when you're doing something you love.

As long as my patients get to live a healthy life again, I'm fine with feeling tired and having dark circles.

"The surgery went well. We just need to keep an eye on him." I say to the nurse who nods.

"Yes doc. You really do have magic hands. Every patient you've worked on has lived." She says with a smile.

I smile back, but I can't help but get a strange feeling. That something is about to go wrong.

I push my thoughts aside as I step out, stripping off my gloves and gown.

"Nice work in there," Zayan says behind me, his voice warm.

He walks up as I'm sanitizing my hands, and before I can react, he leans in to kiss

me.

I turn my head at the last second, and the kiss lands on my cheek.

Zayan pulls back, his brows slightly furrowed.

"Is something wrong?"

I shake my head quickly. "No. Not with you. Never with you." I give a faint smile. "You're perfect."

And he is.

Smart. Kind. Patient. Loyal. The kind of man any woman would be lucky to have.

So why isn't my heart racing?

Why isn't my skin tingling?

Why isn't the air around me shifting like it does when he walks into the room?
