Mistaken Marriage, Unexpected Love

Chapter 3

All of a sudden, the sound of her phone ringing broke the silence.

She reached out to grab it and answered the call. An anxious voice sounded from the other end of the line, “Dr. Griffith, emergency! Please come here quickly!”

Camila adjusted her voice and answered calmly, “Okay, I’ll be there soon.” After hanging up, she looked at her phone in a daze.

Her disheveled clothes and the sticky feeling between her legs told her that this was not a dream. It really happened. She had sex with a stranger on the first night of her marriage.

This was the most rebellious thing she had ever done in her life! But she didn’t have the time to dwell on this. A patient needed her.

Gritting her teeth, she quickly got dressed and rushed to the emergency center.

Camila was busy for the rest of the night.

When she finally returned to the duty room, she found that it was still a complete mess.

Recalling what happened here a few hours ago, she couldn’t help but run her fingers through her tangled hair in distress. “Thanks for taking over my shift, Dr. Haynes.” Camila’s colleague, Debora Griffith, suddenly strode in with a grateful smile. Camila forced a smile and answered, “You're welcome.”

“| can take it from here. You should head back and get some rest.” Only then did Debora notice the mess in the room. Eyebrows raised, she asked incredulously, “What happened here?”

Turning her head to hide the panic in her eyes, Camila said, “I accidentally knocked over the things on the table earlier. Anyway, since you're here, I’m going to head home now.”

Debora felt that Camila was acting strange, but she didn’t care. She shrugged and bent down to start picking up the random things on the floor.

Just when Camila left, the director of the hospital and Isaac’s assistant, Willie Calderon, showed up at the door. “She was the doctor on duty Last night, Debora Griffith,” the director said. Willie walked into the room and peered at Debora’s name plate on her lab coat. “Ma’am, please come with me.”

Debora looked up in confusion.

“Where are we going?”

“You'll see. Just come with us,” Willie answered expressionlessly. The hospital director, on the other hand, wasn’t too happy with her hesitation. He pulled her rather forcefully and hissed, “Don’t keep Mr. Johnston waiting.”

Albeit confused, Debora obediently followed them to the hospital director’s office.

Isaac was sitting upright on the sofa with his legs crossed. Without paying close attention, the paleness on his thin Lips would've gone unnoticed.

The strong, pungent smell of disinfectant in the hospital also covered up the smell of blood on him.

Dressed in pure black, his sharp features and strong aura seemed to show that he had overcome countless difficulties. Even a single glance from him was daunting. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
