VICTORIA'S POV...
Waiting...
This has turned into a regular term of my life. Waiting is essential and I am losing my patience!
It's been almost fifteen minutes since that nurse asked me to wait here and I am still waiting. A little bit frustrating though, I need to know what is going on.
Suddenly, the door opened and I saw Surgeon Roanld walking inside. His blue operation gown has been removed and now he is in his formal shirt and pant.
He came in and closed the door before pulling the curtains down, not taking a single possibility to let anyone see inside, I guess. He checked the room again and then came to his seat and looked at me with his clear deep eyes.
So confusing and suspicious...
"You are late to come, don't you think so?" He asked and I felt a little guilty in my heart as I lowered my head slowly.
"Yes, I am late. But, I was in an emotional turbulence, you see? I almost forgot about it. But, I am here after handling ourselves." I explained.
Surgeon Ronald nodded. "I understand, Miss Edwards. How is Mr Devonte?" He asked and I smiled at him softly, recalling the love of my life. "He is doing well, now. Recovered a lot from his emotional traumas."
"Good..." He paused for a second and then fixated his gaze on me. "Did you open that note?"
"Yeah, I did. And I am confused." I admitted.
He chuckled, "That is why I asked you to meet me after reading that note. And if I am not wrong, you are confused about Raeven's part the most, right?"
I gasped in my mind but remained calm outside as I gave a single nod, "Yes, doc."
"I know." He said and suddenly his tone turned a little hollow and mysterious. It felt like, he knows my inner thoughts and even his eyes are deep to swallow everything. A little uncomfortable. Yet, I managed.
He continued, "To know more about this, you need to meet me tonight after nine p.m. I will wait for you in the hospital's underground garage. Then you will know the further answer."
"It's better if you can come alone. But, if you want, you can bring the most trusted person of yours and that should not be Alessandro. Because this matter should be unknown to him and Miss Nina Devonte also wanted that. The fewer people it knows the more it's better for you." He stated word by word.
I was left speechless. Didn't I come here to remove my confusion? Why it's getting more and more depth other than being solved? What is happening!?
At this point, I don't know how much should I trust the doctor but he was close to Grandma and the note also peaking my curiosity. I guess I would come but with Sage along with me.
I stood up and nodded my head. "Then nine at night?" I asked, making sure of it.
He nodded his head. "Yes..." The depth hollowic sound was gone from him and he returned to normal.
I don't know if it's my imagination or what happened in reality. But, whatever it is, I need to find out lots of things.
Soon, I was out of the hospital, drowned in thoughts and called Sage. I asked him to be free at nine as he needs to go somewhere with me.
He didn't ask any questions only obliged my order.
As I leaned on the car seat, feeling confused and worried, thinking about the incidents of the last few days, my phone suddenly vibrated with a text.
Thinking it could be Aless, I went to the text area only to find it was from Dominic.
'Hey Tori, I know you might not want to meet me, but please, will you meet me for once today? Just this once, please.' He requested.
I stared at the screen for some time in dubiousness. Should I agree to meet him? Or not? After thinking a lot, I decided to meet him and sort this out. Moreover, 'DOMINIC IS DANGER' is still in my head. To know him, I need to meet him first.
I texted him back asking if I would meet him now and if he is free. Immediately, he replied that he could and I sent him a location to come.
I selected one of my favourite cafes in the busy street of New York. Also, I want to meet him in a crowded place so I would be at ease from his ulterior motives.
"I succeeded even but still, I lost you to him."
"I was a very bad person. but you, you were the only light in my life. Yet, I never expected that you would fall in love with Andro in the end."
His words are emotional but I have overcome my emotions a long ago. To me, they are now just some memories. Alessandro has covered those injuries so much with his love that those scars don't hurt anymore.
I remembered something at this point and opened my bag bringing out my wallet, where I kept a brown bracelet as a chain. I removed it from my wallet and placed it before him.
His eyes flashed in surprise as he looked up at me.
"This is the bracelet you gave me on my birthday back then. you said it would bring me luck. And I believe it did. Now, I am giving it back to you, Dominic. I hope you will have luck with you too."
Dominic picked up the necklace as a droplet of tears rolled from his eyes.
"Victoria, I was really heartbroken when I realized that I really lost you. I will always hate the Devonte family for this, and will never get back together with Andro even though he gave me the Reywalt, Nor I feel sorry for what I did."
"But I want you to be happy forever." With that, Dominic got up and left with the bracelet, and I watched him disappear in the midst of busy people in the daylight...
