Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 62

Chapter 62 Is the Handsome Guy Still Single

I had no clue when I dozed off, but when I woke up, it was already broad daylight.

Maybe it was 'cause the bedroom window was wide open all night, letting in that chilly breeze, that I felt kinda woozy when I got up.

Bella, who was a coach at the biggest Taekwondo gym in Starlight City, told me to take a day off. I was like, "Sure," 'cause I was worried Ethan might show up at the hospital looking for me. While checking my phone, I saw the avatar of "Cat Who Loves Fish" blinking.

Ethan: [Emily, I won't bug you these days. No need to hide from me. I'll give you time to chill.]

I had blocked Ethan's number yesterday but totally forgot he was still on my Facebook friends list.

After some back-and-forth, I just couldn't bring myself to delete him, especially after seeing all the sweet stuff in our old chats. Those days in Greenfield Village still felt so real.

I figured he'd keep his word, so I decided to head to work like usual. But as soon as I walked into the hospital, something felt off. Docs were running around like something big was about to go down. When I got to the hotline center, Lisa grabbed me and shoved a lab coat in my hands. "Emily, throw this on quick. We gotta gather in the lobby in ten minutes."

Before I could even ask why, Lisa had already dashed off.

We usually didn't rock lab coats 'cause we didn't deal with patients directly, so the hospital didn't make us wear 'em. The special dress code today meant something major was up.

I threw on the coat and made my way to the outpatient lobby.

People were flocking to the lobby from all over. As I ran, my legs felt like jelly, and I got dizzy. Then it hit me I hadn't eaten anything since noon yesterday. Weirdly, I wasn't even hungry. After a bit, I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw Arthur.

Arthur, in his lab coat, was coming down from upstairs with everyone else. He saw me too, his eyes lingering on me, but he didn't stop.

He reached me just as I was about to turn away and grabbed me. "Why do you look so pale?"

I turned back and sneered, "Mr. Miller, congrats. Talented folks like you bounce back quick. But are you really worried about me? That's rich."

With that, I shook off Arthur's hand and headed to the lobby.

Everyone was already lined up in two rows, leaving a path in the middle. The nurses at the front were holding flowers, all eagerly looking towards the entrance.

'Is someone important coming or what?' I wondered as Lisa yanked me into the line.

"Lisa, what's the deal? Why all the fuss?" I couldn't help but ask.

Lisa replied, "Grace Hospital snagged a young hotshot with a fat paycheck. He studied abroad, and every hospital was fighting to get him. It wasn't easy for Grace Hospital to land him, so we're throwing this big welcome shindig to show how much we value him."
