True Love Waits

"Why did Sheffield take Calvert?" Evelyn asked.

"He said he was going to take out Calvert's kidney and put it on auction on the Internet. Evelyn, you must stop him!" The desperation in Rowena's voice was palpable.

Evelyn shook her head and rubbed her aching temples at the thought of how stubborn and impulsive Sheffield could be sometimes.

"I've got this. I know what to do." She hung up the phone bluntly.

While Tayson drove her to the First General Hospital, she tried calling Sheffield's number.

Soon after, the call was connected. "Evelyn? Did you miss me?" he said in a chipper tone.

Evelyn dismissed him and went straight to the point. "Are you out of your mind? You can't just sell someone's organs online!" Evelyn took a deep breath to calm herself down.

Her nervousness was not unnoticed by Sheffield. He tried to comfort her, "Of course, I know that. Don't worry. I just wanted to spook him!"

Evelyn tittered and shook her head in amusement.

When she got to the hospital, Sheffield had already asked someone to wait for her in the parking lot. This person led her into the operating theater.

When she stepped inside, Calvert was lying on the operating table, sweating profusely, while Sheffield was standing next to him wearing a mask and gloves.

He winked at her and said, "Wait for me outside. I'll be done in a minute." He expertly slid his scalpel and made a slight cut on the skin of Calvert's abdomen.

He slipped the orange peel underneath the cut of Calvert's abdomen and quickly sewed his wound. "I'm almost done. Give me thirty seconds. I'm just stitching the wound." A moment later,
