Those were calls from the hospital.
She was not on call, nor was she a doctor from the Emergency Room. No one would call her in the middle of the night. Then why did the hospital call me so many times? Could it be… At that instant, a horrible thought hit her, and she immediately hopped out of bed. “Matteo, Vivi, it’s time to wake up now! We’re going on a vacation today!
Hurry, or we’re going to be late.” She rushed to the nursery to wake her children up. Vivian grumbled, “Mommy…” Feeling groggy, she was reluctant to open her eyes. In contrast, Matteo was wide awake at the mention of “vacation”. “Vacation?
Mommy, where are we going? Don’t you need to work?” “Well, I’m taking a few days off to bring you guys to Jetroina. I’ve already booked the flights to give you a surprise. Wake up now!” Sasha carried Vivian, who was still sleeping, out of bed while answering Matteo’s questions.
Seeing that, the boy quickly climbed out of bed. Twenty minutes later, the three of them were ready to go. Buzz… Buzz… Just then, Sasha’s phone vibrated. It was a call from Willow. “Hello?” Willow gabbled over the phone, “Oh, Nancy! What’s happening? Your consultation room is packed with people ransacking the place. I think they are looking for you. You took a leave suddenly, and now, the hospital is in chaos. What’s going on?
Did you offend these people?” Sasha’s face turned pale at her words. “It’s nothing. They wanted me to treat a patient, but I refused to. They are just looking for the patient’s notes in my consultation room. Don’t worry, everything is fine. Since they already looked for the report by themselves, you should go.” “Really?
” Willow asked dubiously. Without bothering to answer her, Sasha hung up the call. She was running out of time, and there was no need or any use explaining to her friend.
She got her children in the car and then headed toward the airport. She was determined not to expose her identity. Not only was she reluctant to meet that man again, she would not let him know about the children’s existence because he would definitely snatch them away from her.
Unfortunately, it was too late. She never expected Sebastian to act this swiftly in the middle of the night. Doesn’t he sleep at all? Is there a need to make a scene in the hospital just because I refused to treat him?
The boy sensed his mother’s rush, so he replied compliantly, “Alright, Mommy.” Sasha grabbed their passports and made her way to the self-service check-in kiosk. She was exasperated when the machine couldn’t identify their flight tickets and passport numbers. What’s wrong with the machine?
