All Chapters of Crossing Paths With Love Again: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

February in Sureton City was wet. It had been drizzling throughout the day, leaving the roads damp. The cold wind brought with it the rain, making Freya Somner shiver. She held an umbrella and curled up while crouching before the entrance to the city hall.It was already 5:00 pm. Would that person come?She was worried as she thought about her grandfather, Neil Somner, who lay sick in bed. Had he finished his IV drip? Would he need to use the restroom? Had Thomas Talbot already gone home?She looked up and scanned the empty streets. The city hall would close for the day at 5:30 pm. She would just grit her teeth and wait for another half an hour, then. If that person didn't show up, she could blame him and tell Neil and Thomas that he'd stood her up. It wasn't because she didn't want to marry him or anything.Neil was sick. As a traditional medicine practitioner, he knew his time was running out. Freya was his only concern—she would be alone in the world once he passed.He'd cont

Daniel's apartment was in Sureton City's central commercial area. It was an expensive area with good infrastructure—the medical and education systems were well-established. The residential area was right next to Sureton City's largest park.Freya looked at the minimalist, almost stark apartment. The marble coffee table was covered in a layer of dust. "This is your home?""Yeah." Daniel also saw the dust. "I don't usually stay here."That didn't make sense at all. Why would anyone not live in their own home? Freya couldn't understand it."There's a card here that you can use to pay for the utilities." He opened a drawer in the TV cabinet to show her. "If anything needs fixing, you can speak to the management office."I'll have someone clean up the place later. There are two rooms, so you can pick whichever one you want. Feel free to use the study as well…"Freya observed the place. It was well renovated but showed no signs of being lived in. There weren't even any plates or utensi

Jade handed Freya the first-aid kit before hanging the stethoscope from her neck. "You're just going to ignore everything I told you before we came here, aren't you? You're bound to get into trouble if you continue like this.""No one is more suitable than me, Jade," Freya said calmly."It's not like the military region's general hospital lacks doctors. If you turn them down, they'll arrange for someone else to come.""But it's too far away. They'll take at least 30 minutes to arrive. That doesn't conform to the principles of pre-hospitalization emergency care."Jade was one of the emergency room's most experienced nurses, so she knew Freya was right. It was the only thing they could do under the circumstances.The administrator held a loudspeaker and shouted toward the store, "The doctor is coming. Open the door."A hoarse voice rang out as soon as the words were out of his mouth. "Put the first-aid kit on the ground and turn in a circle. Then, take everything out of the first-a

When Jason saw how indignant Freya looked, he dragged her to the emergency stairwell, sounding stricter than ever as he said, "I told you not to head into the jewelry store during the robbery dispatch, but you refused to listen. Now, someone's reported you for practicing without experience.""How am I inexperienced?""The complaint letter pointed out that you'd only passed the medical board exam but have yet to complete all the registration procedures at the hospital. Because of that, you're not counted as a licensed doctor, so that was malpractice."Jason felt a headache coming on. He pulled out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. Then, he glanced at Freya and put it back into the box.Freya snarled, "What the hell is wrong with the complainer? I only did a simple cricothyrotomy, which I've practiced hundreds of times—"Jason interrupted her, "It's not about your skills, Freya. The hospital has accepted the complaint, and you know how they'll handle this. They'll take action as

Freya arrived at Lexis Residences and stood in the foyer of the apartment, staring at Daniel, who was seated on the couch.He wore black loungewear and leaned lazily against the backrest, looking handsome as he calmly returned her gaze.She couldn't read him and had no idea what he was thinking. More importantly, she didn't know what to say to him. She licked her dry lips and decided to break the silence. "When did you get back?""Yesterday," he said indifferently."Oh."Silence descended upon the room again. Freya changed into house slippers before returning to her room and turning on the shower. She felt rather flustered.They'd seen each other a month ago, but she had no idea how to face her so-called husband, especially since he'd appeared so suddenly.She got into bed after her shower and was almost asleep when Daniel knocked on her door."I'm coming." She checked her clothes before opening the door."I've cooked instant mac and cheese. Do you want some?" he asked."Sure
