"Yes, Ma'am. I was only trying to report the situation to Dr. Westham but you blew it out of proportion." Ms. Landon confirmed. Jessica moved her eyes all around the place looking for where to hide them from Cruz whose puffy eyes were now filled with tears that he was trying his best to hold back. but the crowd began to complain about her rude and ill-mannered speech about Cruz. "Just because Dr. Westham has been lenient with you and allowed you to be a part of his life doesn't mean you can say whatever rubbish you want about him." A patient complained. "Yeah. She's just so rude, no one would believe she's talking to her boss. Just because he is so nice to you doesn't mean you can be rude and disrespectful." Another patient complained. "They are right this time, Ms. Vegas. You can't just say whatever you like and expect to get away with it so easily. Remember you already received your first query." Mia complained. "She must be trying to get back at the doctor for breaking up wit
"I-I…forgot my phone…so I came to… pick it up." Jessica stuttered. "Ok. You can leave now." Cruz replied and with much hesitation, she left the office. 'She couldn't have heard me, right?' He wondered, still staring at the door leading outside the office long after Jessica had left. "Dr. Westham…" "Oh, sorry for keeping you waiting." Cruz interrupted Ms. Wellington who had called him. He returned to his seat and tried his best in persuading them. "I am only going back on my decision because of you." Ms. Wellington concluded and Cruz was happy about it even though he was still very disappointed at Jessica's distrust for him. Once Cruz's meeting with Ms. Wellington was over, Cruz also left the hospital, but there were still several doctors and nurses on night shifts at the hospital. Jessica was distraught on reaching home that night and she was worried about how to explain her foul mood to Leah and Tyler but luckily for her, Tyler happened to have taken Leah out on a date and be
Cruz's blood wail drew Mia's attention and seeing his office door wide open, she knew something was up so she ran to his office to find out. "Sir, what is going on?" She panicked as she saw Cruz frantically trying to wake Jessica up. As expected, Cruz didn't pay any attention to her but rather carried Jessica into his office and laid her on the hospital bed which was adjacent to his desk. He checked his pulse and also her heartbeat before connecting an IV to her left hand after which he slumped on the mini couch right beside the bed and let out a heavy sigh. He relaxed his head on top of the couch, facing the ceiling as he roughly rubbed his hand against his face. Mia who had been helping him in silence finally decided to speak up. "Sir, what happened to her?" She asked out of concern. Cruz kept quiet for a while but his red eyes spoke volumes and after working with him for three years, Mia knew when to give him his space so she left the office. A few minutes later, she was fo
Jessica tried to push Cruz's hands off gently but he was too strong for her. "What do you think I'm doing here? Obviously stalking you!" Cruz replied confidently, provoking Klaus to break the steel fork he was holding. "Cruz, get your hand off me and get out of here. Stop causing a scene here!" Jessica advised but Cruz didn't come all the way here just to leave so early. Cruz happened to be having a meal in the next room with the health workers but Jessica's never-ending laughter drew his attention and as soon as the health workers were gone, he decided to crash in. "Is that what you think? Am I really causing a scene? Too bad, because I just arrived and I'm not planning to leave until you are also leaving." Cruz replied, and this time, Klaus totally lost his cool as he angrily stood up to his feet and banged his hand on the table. "CRUZ WESTHAM!" He called out angrily, his eyes burning red. "YES! THAT'S MY NAME!" Cruz yelled back at him as he also stood up to his feet, scaring
"It's nothing you should…" "Don't give me that. What did he do this time?" Leah interrupted Jessica who was trying to cover up what happened. "I don't like talking about him with you because I feel his name might be traumatizing for you two." Jessica let out her concerns. "Traumatizing? Why? What do you mean by that?" Tyler wondered, while Leah stared curiously. "After what he pulled at your wedding, I still can't get it off my mind that's why…" "You're still in that wedding saga? You also don't know the whole truth? No wonder you barely start or engage in any topic that involves him." Leah sighed in disbelief. "Whole truth? What do you mean?" Jessica asked curiously. Leah and Tyler took their time to explain everything about Dylan Jones to her and also how they found out about him uploading that video. "So, what you are trying to say in essence is that Cruz wasn't the perpetrator?" Jessica asked once more. "Yes. In fact, he knows nothing about it. He was even the on
"Cruz! We were having a good time, please let's not ruin it for something so trivial." Mrs. Roberts intervened. "No, big mommy. The good time has already been ruined. I guess the new…'Intern' is so special to him and he is making it obvious that my opinion doesn't matter. I'm sorry for being so nosy." Dr. Campbell lashed at him before attempting to leave the office but Cruz caught her arm and pulled her back. "You don't have to be so upset. I'm sorry?" Cruz apologized and stared pitifully into her eyes until she fell for it and sluggishly sat back. "You don't have to worry about Jessica because she is only staying here for a month." Cruz explained. Though Valeria wasn't okay with the explanation, she had to let it be so as not to make her jealousness too obvious. "I invited you both in for coffee and cookies, right? So let's have that before leaving." Cruz suggested as he went to the refrigerator in his office and brought out a packet of cookies before going to make some coffee i
"W-what?" Jessica exclaimed with trembling lips. "See? You can't do it. I knew it." Cruz sighed. "How could you ask something so absurd from me? I thought you were…" "Absurd? Yeah, it might be quite absurd to you but it's not for me. Let me tell you a secret." Cruz mentioned, looking back and forth to confirm they were alone. "It's been months since I last had sex. Can you believe that? Even I still can't believe it. But don't misunderstand me again, it's not like I don't have anyone to fuck, it's just that…it's not so fun anymore. And you know why?" Cruz asked, hoping to get a response from Jessica but even though her stares were filled with curiosity, she didn't mouth a reply. "It's because of you, Jessica." He announced and Jessica's eyes widened in shock. "Me? How is it…" "Because you're the first woman to reject me! I hate rejections and mostly, defeat and because I've not been able to fuck you, it is taking a toll on me. And until I fuck you, I won't be able to enjoy sex
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTEEN"I…am…" Cruz's stutter was interrupted by the ringing of his phone and he felt relieved as he answered it with a smile. "Hey, man. I'm inviting you for a men's night out today, are you free Tonight?" Tyler asked as soon as Cruz answered the call. Cruz loved the idea and didn't hesitate to reply. "Definitely! Because of the heavy workload, I am currently bored out of my mind and that would be a perfect getaway but I hope that annoying bit…I mean your wife. I hope she wouldn't…" "Don't worry, she won't cause any trouble for you or us. So just get your ass home early and meet us at the bar in Hotel S." Tyler instructed after which Cruz ended the call after giving a favourable response."Doc, I will take my leave…" "What about the answer to my question?" Dr. Logan asked curiously. "I…you said I could sleep over it, right? I will get back to you in our next session, I'm quite busy today." Cruz suggested, using his plans as an excuse to avoid the fact t
