Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 591

Hearing Geneva's words, my heart plummeted to rock bottom.

But I feared diving into the topic right away, and we might get cut off before we even reached the meat of the conversation. So, I deftly changed the subject, chatting about this and that in a casual, desultory way.

The doctor she had booked was quite elderly, silver-haired, and had an air of authority about him.

He told her she'd been overwrought with worry, which was messing with her system, hence the sleepless nights and general fatigue.

I felt a bit of relief knowing that Geneva had her anxieties.

The old doctor prescribed her some mild herbal remedies, advising her to take them for a while to balance things out before coming back for a follow-up.

Geneva had him take a look at me too, and he trotted out the same old lines about fatigue and deficiency. I mentioned I was already on some meds, so he didn't prescribe anything for me.

We left the holistic health center and got into the car together. I turned to Geneva and said, "Geneva, I'm gonna take you to a place you'll adore, beautiful views, great food, and drinks."

Her curiosity piqued by my enthusiasm, she pressed, "A place like that exists? I can't miss out on that."

"You'll see when we get there."

I told Hannah, "Let's head back to Hilltop Heights."

Hannah looked at me, surprised, "You mean, we can cook there?"

"Oh, just you watch. Let's roll out."

With that, Hannah's excitement kicked in, and she started the car, driving us swiftly and smoothly straight to Hilltop Retreats.

Walking into my yard, Geneva's eyes sparkled with envy. She prodded me, "Aaliyah, is this a new piece of property you've snagged?"

I replied with a sigh, "Well, I needed a place to land. I sold the old house, too many bad memories, and Jaylan wouldn't stop haunting the place. After a decade there, I was fed up. So I sold it without a second thought. This place caught my eye with its lovely environment."
