Liam stared at her, no way was she trying to downplay this as if it were nothing, it was unfair, she was acting this way, he wasn't asking for much, he just wanted her to stop acting like what they had was nothing, or maybe he was the fool, maybe he was the one seeing something when there really was nothing, he should come back to his senses then, for his own good."let's just let it go like you said,"He finally said after a long pause, that's just it, give her what she wants and just make sure not to fall for her shits again, he left the room still naked, found his robe and put it on, went to the kitchen to get and beer, and sat there just sipping and staring at nowhere, when he finally went back to the bed room, she already left."It is for the best, I should let it go too, it wasn't even going to lead anywhere,"He told himself as consolation but that didn't make it any better, he couldn't deny that he wanted it to be more with Ruby, he liked her a lot, and he knew it won't be so
Ruby felt she could have handled what happened with Liam better but there was no going about it, she couldn't let her physical want be her driving force, it would only ruin her and leave her in pain, she has been there a couple of time more than she could cope with that if it happens again, she might not be able to survive."Just let it go already,"She told herself. But it kept tugging at her heart, there was really nothing to do at the hospital but she just felt if she stayed there she might do something stupid again, she rested her head on her table wishing she could just get some sleep now that she was free but sleep wasn't even knocking at her door."Ruby?"She heard Liam's voice and was about to curse at her imagination before she saw him enter her office."Liam, what are you doing here?"She asked getting up, he ignored her and dropped the little one he had with him at her usual sleeping spit, the baby wasn't sleeping, she was just playing with her fingers."We need to talk,"O
Liam already knew Ruby wasn't going to like the idea of him leaving and that was exactly what happened but that was the only way to get quicker information, over three hours after they spoke, he sat in her office, she was laying on the bed there, he knew she wasn't sleeping but she was pretending to be so he just let her have it, his kind was crowded too, even though it was the right thing to do, it still didn't make it any easier especially with Kristen being here, he really wished he could take her with him and take her to safety but he hadn't come here with any child and it might raise alarm if he left with one, if he wasn't going to come back here, that would have been a different case, he wanted his return to be easy so Kristen has to stay here, hopefully, it won't be for long anymore."Liam?"Ruby called and he looked up, she was staring at him."Yes, doc?"She got up from the bed and sat down."I am sorry about what happened, I don't want us arguing, especially now that you are
Ruby stood outside the hospital about thirty minutes after Liam and Elsa left, she didn't know what to feel, she tried her best last night not to say anything further and this morning Liam didn't even look her way, the only time he spoke to her was when he was about to leave, she let out a sigh, she just felt so drained by his sudden need to leave and nothing she could do could make her snap out of it and just focus on the positive side of his leaving, she hadn't seen it coming and that made it worst."He would come back don't worry,"Sara said coming to stand beside her."Good morning Sara, his was your night?""My night was nightmare filled, I don't think I can't have a good night's sleep until everything is solved,"She said and Ruby couldn't disagree, who would have a good night's sleep in a place like this? The person might either be dead or a baby or a psychopath, it has to be those three or there is the fact that the person might not know about the shits going on here like they
The ferry ride back to the city shore didn't take long like he had thought it would, less than four hours later, they were already on shore, and he was able to book a commercial flight from there for him and Elsa, who had been quiet throughout the trip, the people they travelled with were mostly women as usual, there were a few men but other than that, there were a lot of women, but they looked nothing like the women on the island which made Liam wonder if he did something wrong by not going around the ferry shore on the island, it just hasn't occured to him because the distance was long, about two hours, life close to the shore was totally different from how it was around the hospital area, it was like there were two different places, the people they travelled with might not even have any idea that some shits were going on because they look more like tourist, he had asked the woman sitting close to him and she had told him she only spent two days there and she didn't know much about
Liam stared at her, this conversation wasn't going to continue and end here, he needed to get her to a place where they can both talk, it was clear now that she knows more and might have gone to the island to find out more, maybe, he wasn't sure and he didn't even know the content of the stuff she gave him yet to judge."Elsa? Can we talk somewhere else? Do you trust me enough to go home with me?"He asked, at first she didn't say a word and he was almost scared she wasn't going to say anything but then she nodded, he let out a sigh of relief and told the driver the direction to his house, it would be better if they talk there, it took them about an hour to get to his place when they got there, he first made her drink some water and then sat with her."Elsa about what you were saying just now? What is your dad's role in this and his did you find this? What are the contents?"He asked."I don't want to do this but I already started it, the content you will have to find out when you go
Ruby stared at nothing in particular, the atmosphere in the hospital was just as it has been since Liam left, it has been almost two days since he left, and still, no sign of him showing up, Kristen that use to be a very quiet kid now cries a lot, Ruby knew she was missing her dad but there was nothing she could do, he was expected to return today or tomorrow, hopefully, he will be back, if not she didn't know what she was going to do, so far nothing has been going on, they still shared themselves for the shifts, and the laboratory technicians who didn't talk much were now talking too, she saw them talking with Emily earlier today, maybe Lewis has finally been able to make them see reasons why they are part of the team too, the only persons left now were the nurse assistant and the pharmacy assistant, hopefully, they would feel comfortable enough to join them, she really wanted all of them to make it work."You are standing here again Ruby? Makes me think you are waiting for a loved o
"Nathan!"Ruby yelled. She couldn't believe her eyes, the last person she expected to see again here was Nathan, he was smiling brightly as always."You guys miss me?"He asked."What the fuck are you doing back here Prince Nathan?"She asked hugging him as her other teammates started coming out to greet him, they were exchanging hugs, but they didn't seem surprised by his appearance like she was."I thought you were joking about coming back,"Emily said hugging him, he held onto her, okay which gave Ruby some kind of idea that they might be, well never mind, it could just be her mind making things up."Wait! You guys were aware he was coming back?"She asked in shock as she realized what Mily had said."Yes, when last did you open our group chats?"Sara asked pushing Emily aside to hug Nathan."I don't remember, I am guilty now crucify me if you wanna,"Ruby said. She couldn't even have time to take a proper nap, how did they expect her to open their group chat? Even when they were s
