Chapter FULL

The rest of the night was entful

The next day, Jenna stayed and rested at home since the medical sect hadn’t arranged for her to return to work yet

Joseph told Gemma he was going to tag along with the EMT crew on their calls as he wanted to steer clear of Skylar and Yara

During the day, they drove all around the city, dealing with all sorts of weirdos and absurd situations that weren’t actual

Emergencies

There was a call from an overweight man panicking over hemorrhoids, and one from an entitled woman who nicked her finger with a knife.

There was even a middle-aged woman who called them for help first before going to the apartment upstairs to start a fight in case she got shoved or worked herself into a heart palpitation

Then, at night, Joseph would shake off anyone tailing him and go to Beatrice for a massage. Sometimes, he’d even have her perform a specialized grein treatment

After a few days of this routine, Joseph showed up at the department office bright and early, only to find Yara already inside.

Vart let out a light scoff. “Go ahead. Keep avoiding me. If you’ve got any balls, you might as well just stop showing up to work!”

“Oh. Big Sis, what’s got you so worked up?”

Joseph was briefly taken aback, but he quickly slipped into his fake persona and smiled. He scurried over to her and started massaging her shoulders, acting exactly like a loyal lapdog,

“I wasn’t avating you. I’ve been working my shifts like normal

“Then why haven’t you come to my room all these days? Didn’t Jenna tell you what my intentions are?

Yara had been famous, fully prepared to really lay into him and teach him a lesson. However, the way he was acting made it hard

bor her to stay angry

Now, stae wasn’t nearly as mad at him anymore.

Joseph had anticpated thus, in fact. Yare coming to him first was part of his own push-and-pull strategy Right now, he was the only person she could really open up to and speak honestly with, someone who could lift her spirits.

Or rather, his “Benry adentry posed zero threat to her, and she could order him around however she liked

He answered. “Mr Zahn told me to stay away from you. He was atraid I’d sneak you out of the hospital again. He said that if 1 keep messing around, he break my legs.”

“You’re scared of my toucher, but you’re not scared of me?

Yara pouted. Now that she knew it had been Skylar keeping Henry away, she decided to let it slide

“I know you care about me but Mr. Zahns atrand I take advantage of you. He is someone who will senously come after me, o I had no chce but to suffer in silence and may away from you.”

“Two don’t de as I say. I’m also going to punish you Yara said, relieved that it was all just a misunderstanding

She was in a good mood now. But with people constantly walking in and out of the office, she couldn’t relax, so she had joseph

Since she couldn’t find the real Joseph or any other brilliant doctor, tnaintaining the status quo was the best she could hope for

“Skylar’s condition has worsened again. How is he doing? Is he ever going to get better?”

“What? What happened to Mr. Zahn? I’ve been out on calls these past few days, so I’m out of the loop on what’s been going on in the department. I’ll go find out and come back to fill you in.”

Joseph’s first thought was that Kaya’s poisoning axempt had worked exactly as expected.

Feigning urgency, he left to see Gemma to get authorization to enter the ICU. Sure enough, Skylar was back on a ventilator, barely hanging on.
