Chapter 9 Giselle's POV. “Hmmm .... so you will come back after lunch tomorrow?” I asked after I jolted out of my thoughts. “Yeah, I'm sorry that I'm disturbing you,” he said, and I shook my head, “no don't say that, you are my student anyway, your welfare matters a lot to me,” I said, and he nodded. Then he gazes at me weirdly, but I ignored it and smiled at him trying to set the lecturer and student boundaries. “Okay then,” I said dismissively, but he was taking the hint he was still sitting down. “Mr Lopez, I have some other things to do,” I said, making it clear that I wanted him to leave. “Okay ma'am,” he said, and stood up from the chair, “I will go now, Mrs Albert,” he said, and I nodded. Then he left my office. I felt relieved after he left. I felt suffocated being in the same space with him, not in a negative way, but he just won't stop staring at me, and it was uncomfortable.

It was almost time for her lecture, so I had no time left .“Hmmmmmmmm…. Ivy, I really don't have time for this. What about later after the lecture? It can wait right?” I suggested.“No,

I smiled faintly looking at him. “I didn't know she would be that extreme,” he said, but then I remembered that he came to the scene without being called by Ivy.“How did you know where I was?” I asked with my brows knitted. He stopped talking for a moment before he cleared his throat. “Your anklet,” he pointed to my leg. “What?” I chuckled. “I had a bad feeling and you don't like the idea of bodyguards that was why I installed a tracking device on it,” he explained.I remembered how he made sure I wore the anklet when going out.

The doctor became silent. “What's wrong, say something doctor!” I panicked.“She inhales a lot of smoke, and she bled too much, the fetus is at risk, and it is dangerous for her health so we might consider an abortion to make her safe,” he said.My jaw dropped hearing that I knew how much Giselle wanted a baby, but knowing I was the cause of all the circumstances I felt horrible.“Is there no other way?” I asked. “There is, but the patient's life will be at risk; she might not make it,” the doctor said.I shook my head unconsciously. “I don't want to lose her,” “Wh____ Dr. Niel!” I wanted to talk, but I was interrupted by a nurse coming

I ended the call and called Sebastian. “Hey buddy,” he said from the other end. “Hi,” I said. “What's up?”!
