“Mr. Scott.” A quiet moment passed before Phillips broke the silence. This text is hosted at find?novel.net

“Should we head out now?”

Eric nodded briefly in response. His words were soft but steady. “Yes. Let’s go.”

Earlier, Tamara had sent him a message, mentioning that Hadley would be stopping by Hamza’s clinic today. The urge to see her proved too strong, so Eric found himself here before dawn, hoping for even the smallest glimpse.

Despite his efforts, the only thing he saw was her car leaving.

With a sigh, he motioned for the driver to start the car, and the Bentley rolled away, bound for the hospital. Arrangements for a morning check-up had already been made the day before.

Hadley stepped through the clinic doors, ready for her appointment.

“Good morning, Dr. Perkins.”

“You…” Hamza’s weary expression crossed his face as he listened. He seemed more frustrated than usual. “If you keep downplaying your symptoms and refuse to take your medicine as prescribed, my hands will be tied. I can’t help you if you keep this up!”

“I know I messed up.” The weight of responsibility settled on Hadley, and her usual playful mood disappeared. “I promise that won’t happen again.”

Relief softened Hamza’s frown, and a small smile reappeared. He pointed toward the treatment room. “Head on in. I’ll be with you shortly.”

“Okay.”

The session went smoothly, and Hamza handed her a new set of prescriptions.

He gave her a gentle reminder. “Last time, you didn’t follow through with the full treatment. Now that you’re committed, let’s stick to the plan and make sure you take your medicine on schedule.”

“Understood, Dr. Perkins.”

Before Hadley could leave, Hamza called out to her.

“Hold on a second, Hadley.”

A drawer slid open as Hamza reached inside, producing two envelopes, which he extended toward her.

“I wanted to give you my wedding invitations.”

For a moment, Hadley stood still, unable to fully process what she had just heard. “You’re getting married?”

Hamza’s smile grew warmer. “That’s right. Here. One’s for you, the other is for Colleen. Since you’re here, could you give hers to her as well?”

“Absolutely!” Hadley grinned, her excitement evident. “Congratulations, Dr. Perkins!”

Years ago, Colleen and Hamza had been classmates and friends in med school. It was actually Colleen who first introduced him to Hadley. Over time, Hamza became more than just Hadley’s doctor—he became a friend too.

Now, she felt honored to be included on his guest list.

Hamza gave a grateful nod. “Thank you. Make sure you don’t miss it.”

He couldn’t resist adding with a playful tone, “And don’t even think about coming without a wedding present!”

Hadley grinned, laughter escaping her. “No way I’d forget. Dr. Perkins, I’ll leave you to your patients now.”
