Sophia's gaze was drawn to the nurse outside, who was now encircled by a small group, her forehead showing signs of injury. To either side of the door, two armed men stood guard. But she was more surprised about the fact that none of his family members were present."Did the patient cause this?" She inquired, facing the injured nurse, and the chief, a middle-aged man with glasses and dark hair, nodded. He stood by the side of the door, his back resting against the wall, his furrowed brows revealing the stress he was already under. "I'm entirely uncertain about the cause of the patient's sudden agitation. That's why I requested for you," he uttered, his voice thoughtful. "Maybe you should attempt to engage in a conversation with him," he suggested.Before Sophia could respond, he added, "You're the only doctor on duty who can handle this patient. Please be cautious." With that, he gave her a reassuring pat on the shoulder and departed."Should we consider getting a psychiatrist?" Arie

Hearing the loud, disruptive voice that barged into the room, Alex remained unfazed and calmly used one of the pillows to cover his ears before muttering "Shut the hell up! This is a hospital, and you're being obnoxiously loud!""For someone who injured a nurse, you have no right to lecture me on hospital etiquette!" Matt, with his chiseled jaw and intense brown eyes, shot Alex a stern look as he entered the room. His dark hair, slightly tousled, added to his rugged charm. He dropped himself heavily onto the couch, his sleeves rolled up to reveal intricate tattoos that snaked down his forearms.He had just arrived at the hospital a few minutes ago and he overheard a few of the nurses talking about an aggressive patient in the hospital who pursued his attending nurses from his room and threw a mug at one. Matt had laughed at how ridiculous that sounded, thinking the patient might be mentally unstable.Only to end up finding out that this patient was none other than Alex.Matthew Carson

"I've mentioned it countless times and I'll keep on saying it, Dr. Smith. If you ever have a problem or an issue to solve, do tell me. In as much as it's something I can do or get my hands on. I will," The CEO said immediately after Sophia sat down. He leaned forward, his eyes revealing a mixture of concern and curiosity.Unlike what she had expected, he appeared calm and wasn't scolding her about the incident from earlier."Of course, I know, sir," she responded with a smile and a nod."Then about earlier. What happened? Are you sure you are okay, and how are Aiden and Adeline? Are they okay?" This isn't the first time the CEO is showing so much worry about her.It had always been like this ever since she saved Mrs. Johnson from the brink of death. He cared for her much like a father would do to his daughter. As much as it wouldn't have been needed, Sophia could say that Mr. Johnson, the CEO, has over the past months clouded the space of a father that she yearned for.Mr. Johnson is a

Sophia's heart sank, and she muttered inwardly, "No, I can't let him meet the twins now." Beads of sweat began to form, tracing a glistening path down her forehead and neck.Clutching the crumpled paper in her hands, Sophia fought to conceal her anger and carefully unfolded the letter. Her gaze was drawn to their wedding picture frame, a stark contrast to her present emotional turmoil.In the photograph, she radiated happiness – the smile of a woman marrying the soul that had resided in her heart for years.Sophia's arms were draped affectionately across Alex's shoulders as they faced each other. But as her eyes lingered on the image, she noticed the difference in their expressions. While her face beamed with love and joy, Alex wore a plain, detached look, his hands resting at his sides rather than around her.How had she missed the undercurrent of his displeasure on their wedding day? Perhaps she had been too wrapped up in her happiness to realize that he wasn't thinking of her the w

Sophia's heart clenched with uncertainty as she faced Adeline's question. Her emotions had run wild in the presence of her children.To regain composure, she took a deep breath and knelt before Adeline. "Of course not," she reassured, forcing a smile. "Mommy and Mr. Carter, we...well, we have some unresolved matters," she explained.Adeline, her brow furrowing, voiced her confusion. "Hm?" Adeline's nose itched, making her scrunch it a little "But... But what unresolved matters can't be settled?" She didn't stop there "And also why do you call him Mr. Carter?" She looked down at her shoes briefly, then up at her mother with a puzzled expression. "My friends' parents use sweet names for each other, but you call Daddy Mr. Carter?"Sophia struggled to find the right words to guide her daughter without scolding her. The air grew heavy with unspoken thoughts. She glanced at Finn, who seemed conflicted.Amid the crowd, Finn remained lost in thought, his fingers nervously tracing the edges o
