The One He Dismissed Became The One He Died For novel Chapter 53

"Quick! My heart's been acting up lately. Might as well get it checked out since it's free."

"We can even get free meds."

The factory workers swarmed out the door.

Silas Reed locked the factory doors and pointed at Claire. "Leave! Stop causing trouble here!"

Defeated, Claire had no choice but to follow the crowd outside.

A large crowd had gathered at the village entrance around a bus displaying a large banner.

Central General Hospital Medical Mission.

Claire froze.

She remembered the text Miles had sent her that morning.

A medical mission?

It couldn't be a coincidence, could it?

Heart pounding, she looked up.

At a folding table, a familiar figure in a white coat was consulting with the locals.

Miles's eyes were cast downward in focus, but then he suddenly looked up.

Amidst the chaotic chatter, their eyes collided.

Claire bit her lip guiltily.

She had promised him she wouldn't come to Westhaven, thinking a quick day trip would go unnoticed.

Just five hours ago she had sworn she'd stay put, and now...

She flashed an apologetic, sweet smile, blinking innocently from the edge of the crowd without stepping closer.

Miles's gaze darkened. He looked away and returned to his patient.

Vivian Langford was there too, smiling warmly as she handed out medications. The two of them moved with practiced synergy.

Spotting Claire, Vivian's lips curled into a smirk, and she immediately leaned closer to Miles.
