Chapter 2

Elena's POV

After the celebration ceremony, I have not seen Bryson for days. He didn't bring Glenda over, and I wasn't keen on going to them since my Luna work was piling up.

Right now, I was flipping through countless books and pages to keep track of this year's finances when the landline on my desk suddenly rang.

Sighing, I placed the file down and answered, "Hello?"

"I'm sorry, Luna, but I can't do this anymore. I won't be treating Mrs. Courtney any further, and I hope you understand." Dr. Montgomery decided to announce it, which took me in shock.

"Thank you, Dr." That was all I could say as I personally left my office and met him in the corridor to formally thank him for all his help.

He took a glance back at Courtney's room and sighed. "This family is just too selfish! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have lasted long in here."

Oh... So, that's what happened. Dr. Montgomery had been our family doctor for years. Aside from terrible remarks he must have gotten from them, Glenda's presence probably agitated him the most.

I could only smile a little, knowing he cared for me.

I was about to leave when I heard laughter echoing from Courtney's room. Hearing another female's voice, my blood ran cold.

Without thinking twice, I opened the door and saw Courtney lying on the bed while Bryson and Glenda were hand in hand at the side, laughing at something.
