Ethan's pov"Make sure that the wound is not exposed to water. It is better to avoid activities that require a lot of movement on your arm for a while because it is possible for the wound to rub or open." I wrapped the arm that I had just stitched up with waterproof tape to keep the wound moist.The man I was treating winced softly as I closed the wound. Then he clenched his hands into fists while squeezing the sheets of the patient bed he was sitting on. "So when should I come back, Doc?" I saw his face still grimacing, feeling the throbbing in his arm.I finished what I was doing, moving from there to my desk after having made sure to give her an explanation. "You can come back after seven days. We'll see what the wound looks like." I prescribed the only medicine he needed. Then he tore off the paper and handed it over. "Here, take the medicine for the pain and apply an antibiotic to the wound. That should make a difference after 24 hours."The man took the paper from my hand as he

Ethan's pov"It's good if I visit her." Weighing between going home or going to see her, I ended up deciding to see her after work.Before that, I made sure to check with the nurse working under me first that there were no more patients that I needed to take care of, and she agreed to that. So, I drove my vehicle out of the hospital grounds, traveling at an average speed because I didn't want to rush. Even though I wanted to see her, I was busy organizing a situation I could predict.I realized that the situation between me and Sarah was quite awkward. I couldn't say that Sarah was comfortable with me, but it didn't seem that she hated my existence either. Perhaps it was my cold demeanor, as well as the way I spoke, that made her seem uncomfortable and unable to get along with me.So I thought about what topics might be able to get him to keep talking and be more relaxed with me, other than talking about his health challenges or about our working relationship, which would only bring u

Chapter 13
Sa Sarah’s POV I, who had only stayed at Lila's house for a day, never thought I would move out of the house so soon. "Can we at least wait for Lila to return from work first?" I turned to her, who had now moved from opening the car door for me and sitting on the seat later. He glanced back at me. "Didn't I call her earlier, and she agreed? I told her over the phone, and she understood the situation. The sooner, the better, your wounds also need to be treated seriously, so it's just as well." He responded with his focus on the road now that the car was moving. I sighed softly, also turning my gaze towards the front. Many things were going on in my head. Firstly, I still hadn't prepared myself to go and live with him, and secondly. I felt sorry for Lila. Lila had prepared a lot of things for my moving into her apartment, but I left her after a day of staying there. I felt terrible that her preparations seemed like a waste, even though I was the one who asked to be able to stay with

Sarah’s POV"No kidding!" I pushed him away from me, then removed my hand from his grasp.I caught a glimpse of Ethan smiling, looking at me casually like he was playing a prank on a child. I don't know much about her, but I'm slowly getting to know her. He's not as cold as she looks, and she's not as stiff as he seems.I let out my breath next to him. "We don't have time for jokes." Suddenly, I was the one who became rigid in this, just because I didn't want him to realize the strangeness I felt inside me every time he came close. "There are many things we need to do and think about seriously." at least for now, I didn't want to think about anything.I'm so afraid that I'll misperceive her attitude, and it will make me act rashly. Right now, my relationship with him was an alliance with a common goal, so until that goal was achieved, I didn't want anything else to happen and disrupt our goal.Even if I realized something was growing inside me towards him, I had to be careful and hide

Sarah’s POV"Where did I put it, huh?" I turned my head right and left, moving quickly to find the medicine I still had to carry. "Last time I put it here, or did I leave it on the kitchen table?"I couldn't remember last night. I did manage to take my medicine out and take it there, but it felt like I had already taken it with me.I stayed silent for a while, trying to review my memory to find it. "If I left it on the kitchen table, Ethan would've returned it to me." Given that she hadn't come, then that meant I had put them away, but I didn't know where."Oh my!" I exclaimed with a sigh and then sat limply on the bottom edge of the bed while my hands rifled through the bag I had placed on the bed. "How could I forget?" I couldn't believe I had put it in the bag since last night.After eating dinner and drinking downstairs, I returned the medicine to the room and immediately put it in the bag so I wouldn't forget to bring it. I couldn't believe I remembered that I still had to carry

Sarah’s POV"Thank you then." I shook the hand of a company representative from another country tightly while putting a smile on my face. "I will prepare the complete documents immediately and send them to you."I marked him favorable reaction from how she shook my hand as we shook hands and then the smile on her face that showed satisfaction. "Well, I'll look forward to our cooperation later if you excuse me." He let go of my hand and then placed his hand back in a polite position.I nodded my head politely to him. I maintained my manners in front of him as much as possible, including the small gestures my body made in front of him. "Sure, be careful on the road. As soon as everything is done, I will contact you."The man nodded, straightening his suit before going out with the others, while I still maintained my position until he crossed the threshold of the room where we met.I straightened my body, took a deep breath, and released it with relief. "It all worked out well in the end

Ethan's povI stretched my tie, catching a glimpse of it that felt a little distracting. It's not that this kind of formal look doesn't suit my taste. It's just that it makes me remember things I don't want to.I removed the tie from my clothes, placing it on the table unceremoniously. While breathing more freely, I tapped my fingers on the table, making a sound that played like a background in that quiet place.A knock sounded on the door, and I turned my eyes towards it. "Sir, it's me, Dave." A familiar voice came from behind the door."Come in." I turned the chair in my room towards the door, seeing the person come inside with his face lowered after briefly meeting my gaze."Afternoon, sir." He bowed, standing about a meter away from me. "I came to report what you asked."I delegated the investigation to Alex some time ago because I thought it would be faster if I found out about it my way rather than waiting for Sarah to gather all the evidence.The woman had no acquaintances rega

Ethan's pov.Sarah looked at me with some surprise at my presence there. "Oh, you came?" She asked in surprise.I frowned, pulling up one of the chairs there and joining them because it seemed like they were still enjoying their conversation earlier, and I didn't want to make it to an end. "Yes, I told you earlier." Did she not hear me well because she was talking and the place was also crowded?I was still looking at her, noticing the changed look on her face. Looking like she was not feeling good about me. Is she still feeling reluctant and not wanting to burden me, or is she acting like that because she thinks I'm not someone she can rely on? I'm sure those are two of the reasons.So I turned my gaze in another direction, pretending not to know about the expression on his face."So we're going home now?" She picked up her bag and slung it over her arm while looking at me."I'd like to sit down for a while. The streets are still packed with people coming home from work." I turned to

Chapter 19
Sarah's povI turned my head and saw Alex there. Instantly, my mood improved because I had been meeting and getting positive vibes from my surroundings all day. It suddenly became gloomy and bad just because of seeing him in the same place as me.My eyes stared cynically and sharply at him, filled with distaste. "It's none of your business what I'm busy doing," I answered him curtly, turning away from him and staring bemusedly in the other direction because I honestly didn't want to respond to him. "Lila, let's go." I looked at Lila, who was still sitting there while Ethan's hand was already in mine, and I wanted to dance him out.But Alex blocked my way. He stood right before me and forced me to stop my steps."I am your husband," Alex emphasised that sentence with great insistence. The way he spoke and his attitude made me extremely disgusted. What was it about him that just said that after all this time, I expected him to act like that?Why is it that when I expected him to treat m

Chapter 20
Sarah’s POV"Don't you get it?" I barked loudly, glaring at her sharply. "Isn't this what you asked for.""I never asked for anything like this, Sarah!" He dismissed my words, shaking her head violently. "I have no intention of separating from you." He insisted and tried to move forward, but I moved further away from her while brushing off his hands that wanted to touch me.The expression on my face was unbearable. Staring at him with a glare while snorting sarcastically was a response that came out of nowhere. "Nonsense, from the way you mistreat me, ignoring me and making me feel so miserable all by myself, what do you want from that if not that you want me to realise that I mean nothing to you! You never treated me as a wife!"He shook his head sluggishly, looking thoughtful as if fooling me, thinking I was mistaken in what he had done to me. "I never entered like that. I've always treated you as my jerk. Anything I would do and give for you!"I laughed in response to his words, wh
