Chapter 62Nate’s POVI looked at Layla on my bed and let out a smile. I checked her body temperature again and I was happy it went back to normal. I decided to watch her throughout the night when I dozed off in the process.I felt Layla's hands on my face and how she got closer to me as well because I was holding her when I slept off earlier. I didn’t want to ruin her moment so I pretended to still be asleep and allow her to feel comfortable if that would make her happy.She touched my lips and kissed me, I opened my eyes to confirm if this was real and she tried to avoid me. I didn’t allow her to leave the bed, I got carried away, pinned her to the bed and made the move to kiss her.I suddenly remembered she hadn’t eaten anything and even if she looked better this morning it didn’t mean I should be careless with her health so I stopped immediately, got off the bed and said to her, “I need to get you food so you can take your medication.” I rushed out so I could hurry up because I wo

Chapter 64Nate’s POVLayla woke up the following day asking questions and wanting to confirm if I saw her nakedness, this shows that we are living in our own different world and she is just being nice to me just to fulfil the role of a wife and I will continue to do my part too as her husband, it hurts but what I will never do is to give up on the lady I love so much.I got to work very early and we held a general meeting at the hall with all the top surgeons in the hospital then I got informed new intern would be coming In to join us and we should receive them with love and make sure we guide them properly but on no account should they be allowed to operate on a patient, we can’t afford to take the risk.I didn’t bother to check the files of the new intern that will be coming, I have worked with so many and I really don’t like working with them because the ladies like to flirt around just because I am good-looking and famous as well“Doc Nate, are you not going to pick some of the i

Chapter 66Nate’s POVI woke up feeling so weak and managed to rush home immediately, I had the mirrors replaced and called the doctor to ask about her well-being and I was told she was doing better now and I was relieved. I got a text that I will be having a tight week, too bad work will have to take my time again but is good to know that she is better now so I can focus on work.I got to work and could feel tiredness waiting for me already.A few days later, I was no more myself, I felt so tired and exhausted, The doctor told me Layla had been discharged from the hospital already and I needed to see her.About leaving Nurse Ella stopped me saying, “Doc, are you leaving, remember there is an operation taking place the next hour?”“Yes I know, I will be back before you know it, I just need to see someone.”“Okay, doctor.” I left immediately and drove with speed to the house and when I got home, I saw Layla, she looked really upset with me, I wanted to say something but I just didn’t k

Chapter 68Nate’s POVThe following day I went to the cafeteria and I saw Chloe, “Hey handsome, good to see you here and I am certain that this is not a coincidence at all, I will call it fate.” She smiled at me. I didn’t know what to say so I just smiled.“Anyway, good news, I will officially resume work at the hospital next week with a few of my colleagues, get ready to see more of me.”“Okay Chloe, I am in a hurry, talk to you some other time.”“Wait a minute, do you hate me?” She stopped me from leaving.“No, I can never hate you,” I replied.“Then spare a few minutes of your time, there is something I need to tell you about Layla.” Hearing Layla's name, I got worried and I had no other choice but to wait and listen to what she was about to say.“What about her?” I became so curious because I know so well that they were never close even if they know each other.“Well I don’t know if she is angry with me, I only just told her I will be working at the hospital and we can become clos

Chapter 70Nate’s POV“Where is Layla?” I questioned Nurse Stella, “She is at the record office.” I didn’t even bother to thank her, I headed directly to the record office and barged in. Layla saw me and acted like I was invisible to her. “Nate, this is a record office, If you need something just ask me and I will search for it,” She said with no guilt at all, how does she do it? How? Bringing Michael for a double date.“You are bringing Doctor Michael to dinner tomorrow, Why? Are you trying to frustrate my effort?” Heaven knows I tried, I gave my very best and yet she doesn’t see it.“Nate, can you just hear yourself right now? Why are you acting like a saint? You sent your ex-lover to invite your wife for a double date, Who does that?”“That’s not true, I will never do that.” What is she saying? Why is she trying to blame it on me, could Chloe be saying the truth? “Can you just stop? Do you think I'm a newborn baby you can deceive? What am I to you? A joke?”“You are not a joke
