Chapter 40 — John and Robert

Anne (Robert’s doctor) POV:

I was with Robert in the ward. I looked at him. 

He looked really handsome. His disease can be treated in a week, but who cares? I am a renowned doctor, and no one will question my decision.

I sat beside him and kept a hand on his face. This was the first time I looked at him so closely. he really is as handsome as people say. I can’t believe I am finally meeting him and can even touch him. It feels so good.

I went near him and touched his hair. He moved a little. I know what to do now.

After a few minutes, suddenly I heard a voice from out of the ward. I sighed. I was having such a good time, does anyone really need to disturb me?

I scoffed and went and opened the door. It was Alex.

“Hello,” I said to him.

“Hey. I wanted to see Robert—”

“Uh. This is—” I remembered that I should be professional, so stopped. “uh um, it is okay, but I need to have the patient completely alone most of the time. He should not come across anyone who would give him any kind of anxiety or any kind of excitement. His emotions should be kept stable”

“Uh-uh…okay” he looked sad and suspicious, “I understand”

I nodded and then he walked out. I closed the door and smirked. I will keep him all to myself now. If anyone can, come save him from me. Robert is mine.

Alex POV:

I left the ward and the hospital. I was completely shocked and enraged. This woman is really wicked. She won’t even let me meet him now? This is getting out of hand. Hailey needs to know, and we need to get him out of her wicked hands.

As I walked around and went to Hailey’s company, I thought about my meeting with Summer.

“Hey,” I had said to her when I went inside her room almost an hour ago.

“Hey Alex.”

“I just…I wanted to apologize. I mean—”

“No need,” she had said to me and looked down. “You may be right.”

“What?” I was so shocked at her words. 

What could I have been right for?

“Maybe…maybe it isn’t yours.”

Those words broke the hell out of me. I remember that I ran out of the house, and I could hear her cry even after I reached downstairs.

I didn’t care. I couldn’t. I was feeling so…I don’t even know what I felt at that instant. It was like an arrow through my heart that pierced and was merciless.

I went out and cooled myself. After telling everything to Max, I drove off. He was shocked too. maybe he wanted to persuade her. But I don’t care.

As far as I remember, Max went inside to meet Summer.

I sighed. I shouldn’t think about it like this.

As I reached her company, I got off and went inside. I went to the reception. 

“Where is Hailey?” I asked her. She looked at me and then thought for a few seconds before replying.

“Mrs. Hailey left a few minutes ago” She looked at me with a smile.

I furrowed my eyebrows. “Okay”

I went out. Where is she then? 

I called her, but she didn’t seem to pick up the call. I became really scared. Did something happen? With all this John and Robert shit going on, I really didn’t think Hailey was safe anymore. She should not have gone to the company alone. Dang it.

Hailey POV:

I was in a dark place. The place was completely dark and creaking sounds gave me shivers. I remembered that I don’t really like darkness. What if there is some kind of ghost here?

I tried to free myself but realized that my hands and legs were tied, and I couldn't move. It felt like I was tied to a chair. I was suddenly scared. 

“Hey!!!” I yelled with all my might. It was good that at least I could yell and call someone. Most of the time, I have noticed that they tie a cloth around their mouth…

I heard a door open with a thud and footsteps approaching. I instinctively didn’t feel good anymore.

“So, you are awake” His voice was the easiest to recognize.

As I was about to misinterpret who it was, I suddenly remembered and recognized the voice.

“John?”
