Stephanie paced around the room. She glanced at her phone again, expecting the screen to light up but it didn't.She sat on the bed and took the phone. Staring at it, she prayed to the dear Lord to give Ryan another chance at life. Even if his living again would mean suffering to her, she is ready to go to any length as long as Ryan lives.Suddenly, her phone vibrated. She quickly answered the call.“Did you find out about him? Where is he right now? She quickly asked.“He is at the Emory university hospital.” Stephanie ended the call. She grabbed her sunglasses from the bed and wore a jacket over her trousers and top. She didn't bother to check if her bag matched her clothes before she rushed out of the room to her car.Inside her car, she took several deep breaths. If Ryan lives again, she would do anything to please him, she would make sure he doesn't ask her to do anything twice before she does it.So dear Lord, she

Anderson put on his surgical cap. He moved his body in some dancing rhythm as he finished the pizza he ordered.“How many hours, Eric?” He asked.“Five hours and two seconds.”“This blood should have stopped by now.”Eric touched the dead body on the table. “Yes, Sir. He's too cold for blood to flow anymore.”Anderson put on his glove and walked to the table where the man was lying dead.He took off the black blanket covering the body. “Scalpel,” Anderson said.Eric took the sharp knife on the table and gave it to Anderson.“What was his offense, sir?” Eric asked.“You know Stewart Hill?” “The younger brother of your fiancee?” “Correct.” He got the knife ready to start cutting the body in pieces. “This dead guy is a chef in some restaurant…Stewart gave this guy an assignment to poison someone's food.”“He didn't carry out the operation successfully?” Eric

Stephanie rushed to him. “Ryan? Are you awake? Can you see me?” She raised two fingers up. “How many fingers am I raising?” “He's not blind, Mrs ex-wife,” Landon said sarcastically.Stephanie glanced at him, rolled her eyes and looked back at Ryan.“You are in the hospital. How are you feeling? Should I send for the doctor?” Ryan sat up on the bed. “Get out of here, Steph.”Stephanie’s expression turned sore. She quickly concealed it with a smile and stood straight. “Of course. I'll be waiting at the lounge, if you need me, you can—”“You told me the last time that you'd not come in front of me again, is this who you are? Someone who doesn't keep to her words?” Stephanie swallowed hard. She tried to smile. “Of course, I —”“Get out.” Slowly, Stephanie wore her sunglasses, turned around and left the room.Landon groaned after Stephanie had left. “That was a bit harsh.”“And you…” Ry

Ryan tried to laugh to make everything as light as possible but the anger on the woman's face left him feeling confused. She said she's normal but the woman he's looking at right now looks like she's been through hell and she looks like she just needs someone to speak with.“If you are done, get going please,” she said, pointing at the way out of her compound.What's with the mood swings? Ryan smiled again. “It's nice meeting you.”“I'm sorry if my actions surprised you. I'm really sorry.”Now, all Ryan wanted was to get her away from the woman. One moment, she's blushing and smiling, the next moment, she's angry and again, she's apologizing for being angry. Doesn't matter if it was some slightly insane woman who saved him, at least he's alive.“Huh…who is this?” A voice asked. Ryan looked at the owner of the voice, it was a slightly chubby woman. She was chewing something as she assessed Ryan.
