Ran Away Pregnant Came Back Alpha Heiress (Amelia and Damien) novel Chapter 72

**TITLE: Night Whispers Forgotten Names – Colin Shah**
**Chapter 72**

I had no intention of wasting my breath on trivial chit-chat with her. “Healer Eve has requested that I work with you today.”

Amelia blinked, her expression a mix of surprise and confusion. “Oh. Okay. I was just checking on the patients, and…” Her voice trailed off, as if she was uncertain about how to proceed.

“Fantastic,” I replied curtly, already turning my back and striding down the hallway toward the next examination room.

“Oh,” Amelia said, and I halted in my tracks when I realized she wasn’t trailing behind me. “I’ve already done those rooms. I only have exam room 1 left to check.”

What kind of lunatic starts from the end of a list and works their way backward? It was utterly baffling.

And if she had just one patient left to see, what was I supposed to do afterward? Stand idly by while she scribbled her medical notes on the patients’ charts?

Talk about a waste of my time. Eve could have easily assigned one of the orderlies to shadow Amelia instead. Why did she feel the need to involve me in this?

Amelia flashed me a nervous smile, then turned and headed toward exam room 1. She kept glancing back at me, moving at a pace that was noticeably slower than usual, as if she were trying to accommodate my cane.

All it did was irritate me further. I didn’t need her kindness.

Especially because I was acutely aware—perhaps more than anyone else—that this was merely a facade.

She wasn’t genuinely this nice. No, she was weaving a web, trying to ensnare everyone around her so they would bend to her will.

I refused to be ensnared. Even if it meant standing alone against her charm.

As we stepped into exam room 1, I noticed the patient’s face light up at the sight of Amelia, as if they had already forged a connection. How could that be possible when Amelia had only been here a handful of days? It felt like some kind of sorcery!

“I have some assistance today,” Amelia announced cheerfully, gesturing toward me with a bright smile.

The patient turned to me, their expression shifting to one of recognition. “Oh, right… I think I’ve seen you around. What was your name again?”

“Sienna,” I replied, my annoyance creeping into my voice.
