I called my friends to invite them to drink, but only Ian and Jet were available. We are in a high-end bar a few blocks away from the hospital. We are sitting at the bar while drinking.
“What the fuck, man?!” Ian exclaimed. I told them the story about the case I filed against Noelle’s dad. My lawyer confirmed it to me. Seven years ago, I called him and instructed him to file the case. “Why did you do that!?” Ian added.
I shake my head before sipping my drink. “I have no idea, Ian. I can’t remember anything I did that day.”
“So, you are the reason why Noelle’s dad died?” Jet asked. It is what I suspect. I think I am the reason behind his death.
The fact that I filed a case against the man I adore is enough for me to feel terrible. “I don’t know,” I answered.
“Why don’t you ask Noelle about it?” Jet asked. “Wait,

We had our lunch together, and we decided to hang out here for a while until our break time ended.I am observing Levi and Doctor Young, who are talking on the second floor of the building. I can see them from the garden, and I think they are talking about a serious matter. “What is it?” Maxwell followed my gaze, and his eyebrows knitted after seeing where I was looking at. “I’ve been seeing them together lately.” He said, and I nodded.“I think Levi is distancing himself from me,” I announced, and Maxwell looked at me with disbelief. I chuckled at his reaction. “He was trying to avoid me these past few weeks, and I think it is because of dad,” I explained.“What do you mean?” He suddenly seemed nervous.I pat his shoulder while shaking my head. “It st

N O E L L E“Should I really go? I prefer eating dinner with you and Noah.” I groaned after complaining about Doctor Young’s invitation to dine out this evening. The whole team of the neurosurgery department will come.“Come on, Elle. You have to go out and have fun once in a while.” Maxwell said. “I will wait for you to go home. I’ll be here in the hospital until nine in the evening, so don’t worry about me.”“Noah will wait for us. He would probably be asleep once we got home.”“I’ll call mom to inform Noah about us coming home late. He will understand, Elle.” He said as he fixed my loose hair strands. “Loosen up, Elle. It won’t make you less a mother if you attend some team dinner out.” He said, and I sighed in frustration.“Okay. I’ll go.” I said, and he nodded.It’s Friday night, and all of us in

N O E L L ENoah is ready to go to his first match. He is very enthusiastic about it. I don’t even know if he slept well last night. Maxwell and I are wearing the same jersey shirt that Noah is wearing. “Let’s go, Hughes team!” Maxwell shouted, and I chuckled. Our jerseys have big HUGHES at the back, and I find it cute.“Let’s take a picture before heading out,” I said, and mom took the picture for us. Mom also joined us in a picture, and I took several shots. Maxwell posted it in his Instagram account with a caption, my son’s first soccer match. He is such a proud dad.The stadium is packed with the audience when we get there. “Good luck, baby. Do your best!” I said before kissing his forehead, and he smiled at me.“Do your best and have fun, son. I love you!” Maxwell said before pulling Noah into a hug.“I love you too, both!” He said before runni

Noah and his parents started to leave the stadium before we could reach their spot. “Oh, they are leaving,” Tom said. “They seem in a hurry.” He added.My eyebrows knit together while looking at Noah’s parents. They are facing their back on us, but I can’t deny the fact that they look familiar to me. I think they resemble some people I know.They had already left when we reached dad’s spot. I did not even get a chance to congratulate Noah. “Dad,” I called him, and he turned to face me.“Levi! What are you doing here?” I looked at him in confusion when I noticed something strange in his reaction. Why do I feel like he is expecting to see me?“I’ve watched the game with my friends.” My friends greeted him, and he smiled at them. “How about you?” I asked as I studied his facia

L E V I“Good morning, sir.” Allen greeted me while I was staring at my computer screen. “The documents from your lawyers have arrived. It needs a signatory from Doctor Lewis. Would you like me to look and ask her to sign these papers?” He asked, and I shook my head.“Place it on my table. I will look and talk to her personally.” I said, and he nodded.A week had passed since Noah’s game, and I still couldn’t forget what dad said about settling down and giving him grandchildren. I couldn’t possibly do that in just a year. He can’t possibly give all of his wealth to Noah, right? Dad must be joking when he said that.I sigh while pinching the bridge of my nose in frustration, and stress. I haven’t seen Noelle since their department’s dinner. I have to see her. I need to talk to her.I know she clearly tells everyone that she is in love and in a relationship with

L E V I“Good morning, dad.” I greeted him as I sat on the chair.“I always get surprised every time you join me for breakfast.” He commented, and I chuckled. “Do you need something from me?” He asked and eyed me suspiciously.“You really know your son very well,” I said before sipping a hot coffee.He let out a deep sigh before folding the newspaper he is holding and placing it on the table. “What is it?” He asked as he ate his food.“I saw Noah yesterday,” I said, and I noticed that he froze on his track, but he immediately composed himself. Dad is getting weirder and weirder. I wonder if he is hiding something from me.“Where did you meet Noah?” He asked as he cleared his throat.“I met him in the supermarket. He was with her grandma.” I replied, and dad let out a deep sigh. I looked at him with eyebrows knitted together

They even brought two boxes of pizza and drinks. “What do you think of my office, you idiots!” I yelled in annoyance, and they all just laughed at me.“Chill, dude. We are all bored, and since you are not available to come with us, we decided to come to you instead. Aren’t we amazing friends?!” Jet said, and I groaned in frustration.“Can’t you see I’m busy?” I asked, and they just all ignored me. What kind of friends are they?Jet, Tom, Ray, and Ian are here in my office to disturb me. They were inviting me to climb a mountain today, but I refused. I don’t know what happened to their plan and it seems canceled since they are all here.I continue doing my work while they are busy talking, playing on their phones, and eating the food they brought.

I walked towards him and checked his body. “A-Are you alright? Is it still hurting?” I worriedly asked.“No. I’m fine. It’s just a scratch.” He said as he tried to chuckle. “Please stop crying, Elle. I am not dying.” He said.“How could you laugh and joke around like that?!” I shouted at him in frustration, and he chuckled.“He is not dying, but his wound is not a scratch as well. The knife pierced him half of its length. It’s a deep wound, but luckily it missed his internal organ.” The doctor said, and I sighed in relief. “I will give you a prescription for the medicine you need to take. I already gave him a pain killer. You may go home in a
