The Billionaire's Ex Wife novel Chapter 8

I felt excited but unsettled at the same time. Who was that man and what was I to him I wondered. I quickly shook off the feeling as we had to attend to the new patient

I sighed heavily thanking the lord that is was finally lunch time. My feet were killing me from all the standing I had been doing that morning. That was the only downside of being a nurse especially in the ER, the fast pace, the long hours and the fact that every second can be the difference between life and death for the different patients.

I was glad though that I could at least go and check on the little girl I had seen the previous day. It was strange I was so drawn to her and how I felt compelled to go see her and how I felt responsible for her like I had to protect her.

As I hurried down the corridor towards room 203 I felt an arm pull me to the side of the wall

"And where are you going, you are on the wrong floor to begin with, the cafeteria is this way," Peter said with wide eyes

I was a little surprised at his line of questioning " Ummmm, I am going to quickly check on a patient really quick then I will go to the cafetria, I will meet you there if that's fine" I said casually.

"Mmm going to check on a patient, during your break, well that's a first" he said

"Can I come with you, I mean this must be a special patient" he said raising his eyebrows

"Well that's not really necessary" I said as I pulled away from him.

"I need to talk to you about something," he said

"Can we talk about whatever it is over lunch, I really need to go check on the patient, I promised Eva that I would. And if what you want to talk to me about is about me moving out, like I told you before we both need our own space" I said

"Well actually it is not about..." his phone started ringing

"Oh great" he said a little annoyed when checked who it was

"Ok fine we will talk later on, I really have to get this," he said hesitantly

I nodded my head and hurridly walked to room 203.

I walked in the room trying as much as I could to not make a single sound. She was still sleeping and again I felt my heart squeeze seeing her lying there, with breathing tubes and feeding tubes coming in and out of her tiny body.
