“Ruby?”He called when he walked into her office, but she wasn’t there.“I thought Jane said she was here, maybe she left, I got to go find her,”He said turning to leave.“I am here,”She said, popping up from under the table, he stared at her in disbelief.“What are you doing under the table woman?”He asked amused at how cute she looked without her glasses on, he has grown so used to her wearing glasses that it kind of felt odd in a cute way.“Looking for my contact lenses, I was going to put them on but they fell and now I can’t find them and I am about to go blind,”She explained, he laughed at her exaggerating the whole thing.“Let me help,”He said forgetting why he was here for a moment and helping her look for it, he found it in no time and got up to see her wearing her glasses.“Why didn’t you just wear the glasses?”“Because it broke moron,”She said showing it to him.“Sorry, here you go,”He said giving her the contact and watching her put it on, he finally remembered why
“Doctor? Good day,”Ruby heard Anna’s voice and turned around, she hadn’t heard her coming, the woman looked better than she had been when they had first met a few weeks ago, it was a big transformation and she looked younger, Ruby smiled and returned her greeting.“Hi, Anna,”“I wanted to thank you before I leave, I don’t know, I said a lot of things about you without knowing you and I am sorry about that, I have no excuse,”She said.“No, it’s fine, there is absolutely nothing to be sorry about, you were being careful and it is totally understandable, I just hope that you can finally put all these behind you and go on with your life, you deserve to be happy,”Ruby responded.“Thank you, as much as I will want to put this behind me, I don’t think I can but I promise that I will have a good life, you guys did a lot to bring us this freedom and I am not going to play around with being free when I know just how being held captive can be, thank you again, for everything,”“Thank you too,
“So what do we do about him, the records are there and he has a hand in it,he and every other doctor involved shouldn’t be allowed to keep working in the field,”She revealed still very disgusted at what she found out, the more she talked about it the angrier she became worse, she knew she should not act on impulse if not she would have called the main head of the hospital and told them what she found out but she knew things like this are better handled with more than enough care.“I will speak to Luca about it, I already told him to look into him before,”He revealed. she didn’t know he talked about him with Luca or maybe he was lying, he didn’t even remember who Dave was earlier.“Are you lying right now?”She couldn’t help asking, he looked at her like he felt betrayed.“Why would you think that I am lying?”He asked in an offended voice.“Well, you didn’t know who he was when I called his name earlier,”She pointed out.“It’s not that I didn’t remember who he was, I just had a pro
Liam was bothered, the island was almost empty, after today, the next plane coming will be here for the medical team but still, Sloan wasn’t yet arrested, and each day that passed without any news of him being arrested made him more anxious, the man was good at hiding and he was seriously doubting now if he was really in Rome like they thought.“Face what’s here stupid,”He whispered to himself, he shouldn’t really be bothered by that but he couldn’t help it, his phone started ringing and he hurriedly brought it out thinking it was Liam but he saw Elsa’s name flashed on his screen, he hadn’t spoken to her in a while and felt guilty for not keeping in contact even after how she helped him.“Elsa dear, how have you been? I am so sorry I haven’t called you,”He said immediately he took the call.“Hey, don’t apologize, I know you have a lot going on, too have been busy with college exam preparation, I just wanted to say Hi and also tell you that you did so well,”She said.“You too Elsa,
“It was nice knowing you too man, you are a hero and I will forever remember what you did and what you are still doing, let’s meet some day for a drink,”Kris said hugging him, Liam smiled and hugged everyone of the guys, they helped in a way they didn’t even know, nothing would have been possible without them.“You know when I first came here, okay, I mean when I returned, I thought you were reaching for the stars when I heard that you were going to arrested a criminal as big as the bad guy, even though I said I will help, it was still far fetched for me, I thought it would be hard to do but you pulled it off so effortlessly, wow, I can’t say anything more than I am so proud and I am glad that I met someone like you, it just shows that the world ain’t that bad and people like you exist,”Nathan said and Liam felt those words.“Thank you, Nathan, thank you everyone, you all worked hard and I hold to see you guys someday too, please be safe out there,”“We will, you too,”They chorused
“So, here is to goodbye right?”Liam asked Ruby, as they stopped in front of where the helicopter that was going to take them back to the city was, she turned to him and nodded.They were leaving first and Liam would go later, she wished there was more she could say but goodbye is what it should be, they met unexpectedly and now it was time for them to go their separate ways and she wasn’t going to do anything to change that, it was better that they part ways like this than, well she didn’t even want to think about it.“Thank you, Liam,”She said after a long pause, she was indeed grateful to him for a lot of things.“Wow, it kind of feels surreal that we are not going to see each other again after today, I don’t know how I am going to get used to being in the same city as the woman I want and not being able to be with her,”He said as he handed her bag over to the person that came to collect it from him.“Liam, I thought we already talked about this? Please don’t do this,”She pleade
The next morning she was up early, it took her a while to remember she was no longer on the island and this was her house, she knew it would be like that for now and she might finally get used to it after a lot of time has past and she wasn’t going to rush it, she felt nauseous and hurriedly got off the bed to throw up, she hated that she was sick on her first day back from the jungle but she already knew that she had passed her limit while she was still there, she would go get prescriptions from the nearby clinic later but for now, she took her bath, brushed her teeth and lay back on the bed.“This feels different,”She said not knowing if she missed waking up and doing her rounds and then making sure to bath and feed Kristen, she missed the child so much.“And her dad too,”The voice in her head whispered.“Nope,”She responded getting off the bed again, she still needed to clean up but she wasn’t ready for that hard work yetAfter taking the drugs, she checked the morning news and
“Thank you for all your hard work, you guys are amazing,”Liam said to the guys he had been working with for the past couple of days, he was finally going to leave the island, he had done his part here and it was time to leave.The past couple of days had them finding out more and more shocking details on the island, the number of crazy things that were being discovered here was shocking, the most shocking was the number of unidentified remains of dead people, it was alarming the number but he was already prepared for it, yes, Annette’s diary and Annabelle’s story gave in a clue that each discovery proved to be true, each new findings made it even more emotional the kind of things the women went through but it was all over now.“Stay safe out there,”He called out as a finally greeting as he headed to the spot used as a terminal, he looked back as he got closer, the island was now a deserted place, it wasn’t fit for living in the first place, and the hospital still remained and a few
