The nurses in the emergency department were going crazy. The hands of the untouchable Dr. Jayce Wilson, who was famously known for his precision with the scalpel, shook in the operating room today. "Dr. Wilson, the patient presented for acute appendicitis, not a heart transplant. With the speed you're suturing at, are you perhaps trying to practice embroidery?" An assisting doctor teased. Jayce's face was cold as he remained silent. His hands continued moving gently, as if he were treating a precious treasure. No one in the room knew that the woman groaning in pain on the operating table was the lady who dumped Jayce seven years ago. No one knew that behind the cold mask Jayce had on, his inner monologue was enough to drown out the whole room. "She lost a lot of weight. Has she been eating well?" "Dammit, who was that man? Why was he the one who accompanied her here?" "Reyna Jules, if you furrow your brows one more time, I'll…I'll beg you to stop hurting." Meanwhile, Reyna lay there with her eyes clamped shut, reeling in shock as she listened to the thoughts that were not hers to hear.
