I Stopped Loving Him When He Let Me Bleed Out novel Chapter 29

The screen displayed a massive group chat, featuring a freshly uploaded video.

It was a clear clip of her dropping to her knees, delivering back blows, performing chest thrusts, and saving York's life.

The video was only fifteen seconds long, but the footage was crystal clear.

Her hands were blindingly fast and incredibly steady, her expression totally unbothered from start to finish.

The group chat was blowing up with 999+ unread messages.

"The most gorgeous doctor ever!"

Landon scrolled down manually, pointing out the comments one by one.

"Total ice in her veins, that was textbook!"

"Oh my god, she literally saved that kid's life. He was a goner!"

"What hospital does this goddess work at? I'm booking an appointment right now!"

"Wow, badass doctor! Marry me!"

"Instant regret for dropping out of med school, ugh."

Landon looked at Sienna, his eyes practically sparkling with hero worship.

Sienna pushed the phone back.

"They're exaggerating. It was nothing."

Landon pocketed his phone, completely serious:

"Sienna, what was going through your head at that exact moment?"

Sienna paused.

What was she thinking?

The second she saw the boy's symptoms, muscle memory took over.

By the time her conscious brain caught up, she was already doing chest compressions.

"Nothing," she replied.

"Are you always like that in the ER?"

"Yeah. It's the job."

Landon set his glass down, utterly captivated.

"That's incredible."

"I'm so sorry," Sienna laughed awkwardly.

"As long as I remember, it's fine." He sat up straighter, his breezy confidence returning in full force. "And I'll remember it for the rest of my life. That's why when you came to the campus to see Lily, I recognized you immediately. I badgered her until she told me about you, and forced her to set us up."

He looked at her, eyes blazing with conviction.

Sienna was momentarily blinded by his sheer intensity.

So that's what happened.

"Sienna, we're destined. You can't deny the universe is trying to tell us something."

Sienna looked at Landon. He was so vibrant, so utterly full of life.

It was infectious.

He had this ridiculous superpower of turning a cringe-worthy missed connection into something entirely romantic, spinning a one-sided crush into destiny.

She admired it. And she envied it.

Because once upon a time, she had that exact same superpower.

When she was nineteen, falling head over heels for Finn Fletcher at the freshman gala, she had been exactly the same. She didn't need him to reciprocate; she had directed the entire romantic movie in her own head.

If Finn happened to glance at her, she was convinced he was wildly in love.
