Professor F novel Chapter 45

As per the doctor's advice, Flynn cannot travel that same night and will have to rest for their flight to London the next day.

Stella left after she was assured by the doctors that Flynn will be okay. Father Philips did, too.

She chose to stay with Flynn. She asked if he could leave to get clothes for them but he refused. Instead he called Hugo and a female maid to fix their baggage for tomorrow's flight to London. He ended his call and holds her hand in his.

She rolled her eyes. "I can't believe you had to ask other people to do that."

"It's just how it works. You should get use to it. Because you're not going anywhere anymore." He kissed her forehead as they both lay in the hospital bed.

She smiled and sighed softly. "I was worried, you know."

There was a moment of silence. And then Flynn hugged her tight.

"Phoebe was here." She continued when he was still quiet. And she noticed his body tensed. "I didn't know you had an accident because of her. I—I won't be able to forgive myself if something happened to you because of me." She buried her face to his chest and cried.

He hugged her tighter and she could feel his lips on her forehead, giving her soft gentle kisses.

"Please don't pass out just like that. Tell me if you're going through something. I'm here. Tell me if you're hurting. I'm not a doctor but I'll try to read more about how your therapy works and the treatment to help out." She said between sniffs.

He hushed her with a smile on his voice. "I think you've shed a lot of tears tonight." He wipes her tears with his thumbs as he cupped her face in his hands. "I'm sorry for making you worry. I promise it won't happen again. I'm alright as long as you're here with me. You're my cure to everything. I know you're enough to heal me. I just need to make things right for both of us. I want you in my life. Forever." He chuckled softly. "Besides, I know you wouldn't want to get trapped in an abandoned room again."

She sniffed as she slaps his chest. "Stop teasing me."

He hugs her again. "We don't have to hide anymore. We can leave all of this behind and reach for new dreams. Together."

"Yes. Together." She agreed as she rests her head on his chest.

"August? Wake up." She heard Flynn's whispering voice. "We just landed."

She wipes her eyes clean as she wakes up from bed on Flynn's private jet. He managed to ask someone from the faculty to take his place as he will be traveling on a separate flight to London for some personal matters. She, on the other hand, advised that she'll be on a different flight, too.

Flynn also told her that they'll be meeting with the directors today over dinner to discuss what happened yesterday in campus.

She swallowed hard, feeling nervous of what's going to be discussed with them. But also wondered, "What? The directors are also attending the London festival?"

Flynn just nodded.

"That's odd. And don't these matters handled in a conference room or somewhere private for confidentiality? Why over dinner?"

Flynn answered, looking so relaxed. "That's what was agreed on. They probably don't have enough time during the festival and can only spare time over dinner today before the festival starts."
