Chapter 20:Decisions

The glow of my laptop screen lit up the dim room as I scrolled through the websites of the schools Mr. Harrington had given me. Beside me, the untouched mug of chamomile tea had gone cold, but I didn’t care. My heart was racing, my thoughts tangled with possibilities and uncertainties.

Harvard Medical School.

I stared at the logo, its bold letters practically daring me to consider it. I clicked through the pages, each one describing a world of opportunity. The research facilities were unmatched, the alumni list was a who’s who of medical pioneers, and the programs were designed to push the limits of knowledge.

Could I do this? Could I walk those halls, sit in those classrooms, and hold my own?

A part of me wanted to close the tab with too much pressure, and too much expectation. But another part, the one that had fought so hard to get through med school the first time, refused to look away.

I took a deep breath and moved on to the next tab.

University of Oxford.

    Chapter 22: A New Light As I walked back to the restaurant, I felt a strange lightness in my chest, like a weight I hadn’t realized I was carrying had finally lifted. The decision had been made by Karolinska. The thought of it brought a smile to my face, wide and uncontrollable, as if my happiness had taken on a life of its own.The streetlights blurred in my peripheral vision, and for the first time in a long while, I felt genuinely excited about the future. By the time I reached the restaurant doors, the smile was still there, warm and unshakable.I pushed the door open, the faint clinking of dishes and the low hum of conversation filling the space. Maggie, who was wiping down a table, looked up and froze mid-swipe, her eyes narrowing in mock suspicion.“Well, well, well,” she drawled, setting the cloth down and crossing her arms. “What’s got you beaming like that, Summers?I laughed, the sound spilling out so naturally it startled even me. “No, nothing like that,” I said, shaking m

    Chapter 23: A Defining CallThe morning light crept through the curtains, gently pulling me from sleep. For the first time in weeks, I woke up without the weight of indecision pressing down on my chest. There was a sense of clarity, a quiet certainty that today would mark the beginning of something transformative.I stretched, rubbing my growing belly instinctively. The baby’s movements had been a constant reminder of the life growing inside me, a life that deserved nothing but the best.After a quick breakfast, I made my way to the living room where Claire was tidying up. Bennett was out running errands, leaving the house unusually quiet.“Morning,” Claire said, glancing up from her task. “You’re glowing today. Did you sleep well?”I nodded, smiling faintly. “I did. I think everything is finally falling into place.”She gave me a knowing look. “Mr. Harrington has that effect, doesn’t he?”I chuckled softly. “He does. It’s like every time I’m stuck, he steps in and just… untangles ever

    Chapter 24: Preparing For New Beginnings I woke up to the soft glow of sunlight streaming through my window, the warmth a welcome reminder of the joy I’d felt last night. Karolinska’s email. The words still echoed in my mind.“Congratulations.”The email had marked a turning point proof that I wasn’t just surviving but starting to reclaim everything I thought I’d lost. I reached for my phone on the nightstand, opened the email again, and stared at it, a small smile tugging at my lips.Without wasting time, I forwarded the email to Dad, adding a message filled with excitement:“Good morning, Dad. Look! I got it! Thank you so much for everything. I can't even express how happy and grateful I am right now. 💌”I hit send, feeling a rush of satisfaction. Moments later, my phone buzzed in my hand. His name flashed on the screen.“Good morning, Dad,” I answered, unable to keep the excitement out of my voice.“Good morning, Evelyn,” his voice, as warm and reassuring as ever, carried through

The day that could change the trajectory of my life, the day I had been both dreading and anticipating since the moment I received the email from Karolinska.A soft knock sounded on the door, pulling me from my thoughts.“Come in,” I called, my voice trembling just a bit.Claire entered with a bright smile, a tray of breakfast in her hands. “Good morning, Evelyn! I thought you might need a little energy boost before the big moment.”I glanced at the tray of scrambled eggs, toast, and a glass of orange juice. My stomach churned at the thought of eating, but Claire’s smile was too kind to refuse.“Thank you, Claire,” I said, taking the tray and setting it on the bedside table.She sat beside me, her gaze scanning my face. “You look nervous.

I dressed quickly and made my way downstairs, where the comforting aroma of freshly brewed coffee greeted me.Claire and Bennett were already seated at the breakfast table, their faces lighting up as I entered.“Good morning, Evelyn,” Claire said warmly. “How are you feeling today?”I sighed, taking a seat beside them. “Anxious, to be honest. I can’t stop thinking about the admission decision.”Bennett reached across the table, giving my hand a reassuring squeeze. “You’ve done everything you can. Trust in your abilities and Mr. Harrington’s support.”Claire nodded in agreement. “Exactly. Mr. Harrington has great faith in you, and so do we.

    Evelyn 's pov"Jade Holland?!" I read out the invitation list one last time. The name was not on the list the last time I checked. And the fact that it was this particular name, the name I disliked even though I knew nothing of the owner."Kate, do you have any idea who put this name on the list?" I asked my personal assistant."Mr. Byers gave me the list earlier," she hinted and I paused from this disbelief.I turned on my heels, trudging over to my husband's study, a place he found solace than the comfort of my company.He was on a phone call when I walked in, his back to the room.Sensing my presence, he momentarily glanced over his shoulders and continued with his discussion over the phone ignoring that I had come to see him.This was his routine and I always made sure to be invisible to him.After he was done with his call, he cleared his throat and turned to with a questioning look."Is there a problem, Evelyn?" He dryly asked."Did you taper with the list before now?" I return

Someone else saved me and my husband...he was crotched to his ex-girlfriend's side holding her protectively.Hot tears formed in my eyes as I watched him care for another woman.‘What about me Landon? Am I not good enough for you? Why do you care about someone like her? Is my love for you not enough for you?' I pondered in my mind, shivering from the cold.His ex-girlfriend sat up and leaned on his chest crying like a bereaved."Oh, Lan. I shouldn't have come here if I knew that I would face a near death experience. Your wife pushed me into the pool just because I wanted to exchange pleasantries with her. What did I do to deserve this?" Jade lied against me.Landon turned to me with a cold glare that pierced my heart. I could feel his burning hatred for me under his murderous gaze."I...I... didn't do such a thing, Landon. She...""She pushed herself? There are witnesses, Evelyn and all of them saw you push he

    Chapter 20The warm rays of the morning sun seeped through the gaps in my curtains, waking me gently. I stirred, my body still heavy with sleep, but a soft knock at the door brought me fully awake.“Come in,” I called, my voice groggy.Claire entered, her ever-present smile lighting up her face, with a steaming cup of milk tea in her hands. “Good morning, Evelyn. How did you sleep?”I sat up slowly, fluffing the pillows behind me for support. “Good morning, Claire. I slept well, thank you. And you?”“Ah, like a rock,” she said with a chuckle, placing the tea on my bedside table. “Drink this before it gets cold. It’ll help wake you up.”I took the cup gratefully, the warmth of it seeping into my hands. The sweet, spicy aroma brought a small smile to my lips. Claire always knew what I needed, even without me saying a word.“Thank you, Claire. You’re a lifesaver,” I said softly before taking a small sip. The creamy tea was perfect, just the way I liked it.Claire gave me a knowing look. “

    Chapter 19: A Future ReimaginedI paused mid-bite, the fork still in my hand, as Mr. Harrington’s words settled in the air between us. My appetite suddenly took a backseat.“Now that the adoption process is finalized,” he said, his voice calm but purposeful, “the next step is forging your education.”I blinked, unsure I’d heard him correctly. My education? It felt like a distant dream something I had buried so deep I hadn’t dared to unearth it.I lowered the fork onto my plate, the tiramisu I had been enjoying now forgotten. “My education?” I echoed, barely recognizing the hesitation in my voice.“Yes,” he replied, leaning slightly forward. “You’ve worked hard to get where you are, Evelyn. You have too much talent to let it go to waste. It’s time for you to return to medicine.”The mention of medicine sent a pang through me. Memories of late nights, scrubs, and sterile hospital halls flooded my mind. There was a time when I had been so sure of my path. I loved being a doctor, helping p

    Chapter 18: Redemption As I descended the stairs of the administration building, my stomach growled loudly, reminding me of how long it had been since I last ate. The day’s activities had taken their toll, and I had been so focused on completing the necessary processes that I had barely noticed my hunger. Now, it hit me with full force.“Could this baby not be a little patient?” I muttered to myself as I rubbed my belly. “We’re almost done, I promise.”Locating the car park, I walked briskly, scanning the rows of vehicles for the familiar black car. When I spotted it, I knocked gently on the driver’s window to get his attention.The older man quickly rolled down the window, his eyes lighting up with recognition. He stepped out immediately, adjusting his uniform. “Oh, ma’am, I’m so sorry I didn’t see you approaching. Please forgive me.”I waved off his apology with a tired smile. “It’s okay, really. I’m the one who should be apologizing. I didn’t know the process would take this long.
