No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 734

When Ernest called me, I had just arrived at the hospital.

"Where are you?" he asked.

I glanced at the time; it had been just three hours since we parted. "Missing me already?"

This kind of open and cheesy talk came naturally with Ernest, because he adored me and loved hearing it. But back when I was with Conrad, I never spoke so openly. Conrad's aloof demeanor always put a distance between us. There's a saying that without comparison, you can't feel the difference, and it was this comparison that showed me what true love really looked like.

"Yeah, missing you," Ernest didn't hold back his feelings.

"Ten minutes," I chuckled, "Mr. Collins will see me in ten minutes."

"You're at the hospital?" he guessed correctly.

Just as I was about to confirm, he added, "Dustin swung by earlier. He figured out who I am and knows I've gathered evidence. Now, he's pressuring me to hand it over."

I instantly understood what Ernest meant; it was a warning. "He's definitely thought of looking for me since I'm hiding you."

"Yes, so be careful," Ernest's voice was gravely serious.

My nerves tightened, "Got it."
