    Why <b>her </b>of all people?


    <b>Jaxson’s </b>feelings right now <b>are </b><b>really </b><bplicated</b>. The <b>guilt </b>he <b>felt </b>


    <b>I </b><b>came </b><b>out</b>, tearing him <b>apart</b><b>. </b>


    towards <b>Caroline </b><b>six </b><b>years </b><b>ago </b>is now <b>mixed </b>with <b>disgust </b><b>and </b><b>hatred </b>after the truth


    <b>He </b>was nning to make Caroline <b>pay </b><b>the </b>price, <b>to </b><bpletely </b><b>end </b><b>this </b>grudge, but what <b>he </b>got <b>in </b>the <b>end </b><b>was </b><b>her</b>.


    Cynthia looked at his broken <b>appearance </b><b>and </b><b>muttered </b>quietly, <b>“</b><b>He </b>


    h <b>Sed </b>


    to be SO


    <b>biased</b>, now <b>it’s </b><b>all </b>good, <b>fate </b><b>I </b><b>guess</b><b>…</b><b>” </b>


    <b>Jaxson </b>nced at <b>her</b><b>, </b><bposed </b><b>himself</b><b>, </b>walked <b>to </b><b>the </b><b>sofa</b><b>, </b><b>and </b><b>threw </b><b>a </b><b>stack </b><b>of </b>documents on the table. “<b>I </b><b>remember </b><b>the </b><bpany </b>has a <b>project </b><b>in </b>Pornd <b>next </b>month, right?”


    Cynthia <b>came </b>to <b>her </b>senses and, nodded, “Yes, but didn’t you reject it before<b>?</b><b>” </b>


    <b>He </b>


    spun the wedding ring on his ring finger<b>,</b><b>“</b><b>I’m </b>not pushing it, <b>let’s </b><b>move </b>the <b>project </b><b>forward</b>.”


    Cynthia guessed he <b>was </b>going to Pornd, hesitated for <b>a </b>moment, What about <b>Caroline</b><b>…</b>”


    <b>“</b><b>Someone </b><b>was </b>watching.”


    Cynthia didn’t say anything anymore<b>, </b><b>she </b>left <b>the </b><b>bedroom</b>.


    <b>Jaxson’s </b>gaze <b>fell </b><b>on </b><b>the </b>wedding ring, <b>his eyes growing </b>deeper.


    In his dictionary, there’s <b>no </b><b>word </b>“<b>divorce</b><b>.</b>”


    It rained heavily in <b>Pornd </b>all night.


    Outside the <b>window</b>, lightning <b>shed </b>like <b>daylight</b><b>, </b><b>tearing </b>through <b>the </b>sky, and <b>the </b><b>sound </b><b>of </b><b>thunder </b>woke up


    Charlotte.


    She turned <b>on </b>the bedside <bmp</b><b>, </b><b>and </b>the dim bedroom <b>was </b>instantly <b>bathed </b>in <b>warm </b><b>yellow </b>light. The e <b>digital </b>clock on the cab showed <b>five </b>o’clock in


    the morning.


    Charlotte had her <b>palm </b><b>on </b>her forehead, <b>and </b>her body was soaked in cold sweat.


    She <b>hasn’t </b><b>dreamed </b><b>about </b>that <b>terrible </b><b>experience </b>for <b>many </b><b>years</b>.


    I didn’t expect to <b>dream </b>about it <b>again</b>.


    <b>After </b><b>daybreak</b>, <b>the </b><b>rain </b>stopped.


    <b>Charlotte </b><b>was </b><b>very </b>tired and <b>not </b><b>feeling </b><b>well </b><b>when </b>she <b>arrived </b>at the hospital <b>because </b>she hadn’t slept well.


    <b>Lte </b><b>had </b>Wace show <b>her </b><b>around </b>the <b>department</b><b>. </b><b>As </b><b>they </b><b>left </b><b>the </b>office, <b>Wace </b>asked with <b>concern</b><b>, </b><b>“</b><b>Are </b><b>you </b>feeling unwell <b>today</b><b>? </b><b>Your </b><b>face </b>looks so <b>pale</b>.<b>” </b>


    She shook <b>her </b><b>head</b>, <b>smiling </b><b>as </b>she <b>exined</b>, “I <b>was </b>so <b>nervous </b><b>on </b><b>my </b><b>first </b><b>day </b><b>at </b>work <b>in </b>a <b>new </b><b>environment </b>that I <b>couldn’t </b><b>sleep </b><b>well</b><b>.</b><b>” </b>


    “Which hospital <b>were </b><b>you </b>in <b>before</b><b>?</b><b>” </b>


    “Boston <b>Medical </b><b>Center</b><b>.</b><b>” </b>


    <b>“</b><b>In </b><b>Boston</b><b>, </b><b>isn’t </b><b>Boston </b><b>great</b><b>?</b><b>” </b><b>Wace </b>looked at <b>her </b><b>puzzled</b>,<b>“</b>A <b>lot </b><b>of </b><b>people </b><b>I </b><b>know </b><b>have </b><b>gone </b><b>to </b><b>Boston </b><b>for </b><b>opportunities</b><b>.</b><b>” </b>


    <b>Charlotte </b><b>smiled </b><b>and </b><b>said</b><b>,</b><b>!</b><b>Boston </b>is <b>nice</b><b>, </b>but <b>the </b><b>pace </b><b>of </b><b>life </b><b>just </b><b>doesn’t </b><b>suit </b><b>me</b><b>.</b><b>” </b>


    <b>Wace </b><b>suddenly </b><b>realized </b><b>and </b><b>replied</b>, “<b>Yeah</b>, <b>Pornd </b>is <b>great</b><b>, </b><b>perfect </b><b>for </b><b>retirement</b><b>!</b><b>” </b>


    The <b>two </b><b>of </b>them <b>visited </b>the <b>inpatient </b><b>department </b><b>and </b>also <b>inspected </b><b>the </b><b>critically </b><b>ill </b><b>patients </b><b>in </b><b>the </b>ICU. <b>Wace </b>said <b>there </b><b>was </b><b>a </b><b>patient </b>who <b>had </b><b>been </b><b>in </b>the ICU for <b>over </b><b>three </b><b>years</b>, in <b>a </b><b>state </b><b>of </b><b>brain </b><b>death</b><b>, </b><b>only </b><b>surviving </b>with the <b>help </b><b>of </b><b>a </b><b>venttor</b>.


    The <b>family </b><b>refused </b>to <b>ept </b><b>the </b><b>fact </b><b>that </b><b>their </b><b>rtive </b><b>had </b><b>passed </b><b>away</b>. <b>Luckily</b><b>, </b><b>they </b><b>had </b><b>enough </b><b>money to </b><b>keep </b><b>the </b><b>child </b><b>alive</b><b>. </b>If the <b>patient </b><b>was </b><b>from </b>an <b>ordinary family</b><b>, </b><b>they </b><b>would </b><b>have </b><b>probably </b><b>gone </b><b>to </b><b>make </b><b>funeral </b><b>arrangements </b><b>long </b><b>ago</b>.


    <b>I’ve </b><b>seen </b>a lot <b>of </b><b>brain</b><b>–</b><b>dead </b><b>patients </b><b>like </b><b>Charlotte</b><b>, </b><b>thinking of </b>Charlie, <b>Charlie </b><b>is </b><b>considered </b><b>lucky</b>.


    “Prof. <b>Kendall</b><b>, </b><b>are </b><b>you </b><b>free </b><b>tonight</b><b>?</b><b>” </b>


    <b>Wace </b><b>and </b><b>Charlotte </b><b>walked </b><b>out </b><b>of </b><b>the </b><b>ward</b><b>, </b><b>and</b>, <b>unfortunately</b><b>, </b><b>ran </b><b>into </b><b>Nigel </b><b>and </b><b>Penelope</b>.


    Nigel <b>was </b>flipping <b>through </b>the <b>medical </b><b>records </b>at the <b>nurse’s </b><b>station </b>in the hospital. <b>He </b><b>was </b><b>tall </b><b>and </b><b>had </b><b>a </b><b>straight </b><b>back</b><b>, </b><b>and </b><b>his </b><b>white </b><b>coat </b><b>was </b><b>neatly </b>


    <b>tied</b>.


    < Chapter 364


    <b>Penelope </b><b>stood </b>next to him, knowing he was <b>a </b>clean <b>freak</b>, not letting <b>people </b><b>get </b>close<b>, </b>and also <b>keeping </b><b>a </b><b>certain </b><b>distance</b>.


    She was <b>staring </b><b>at </b><b>Nigel </b><b>like </b><b>crazy</b><b>, </b><b>her </b><b>eyes </b><b>almost </b><b>glued </b><b>to </b>him.


    “No time<b>,</b>” Nigel didn’t <b>even </b><b>look </b><b>up</b>.


    <b>Penelope </b><b>felt </b><b>a </b>bit <b>down</b>, but <b>she </b>kept pushing <b>forward</b>.

    <b>Wace </b>clicked his <b>tongue</b><b>, </b><b>leaned </b><b>towards </b><b>Charlotte</b><b>, </b><b>and </b><b>whispered</b><b>, </b>“Dr. Levin <b>has </b><b>a </b><b>crush </b><b>on </b><b>Nigel</b>, <b>too </b><b>bad </b>she’s <b>wasting </b>those <b>flirtatious </b>looks <b>on him </b><b>every </b><b>day</b><b>.</b>”
