Chapter 151

“Why not? It’s not like i ever planned on getting married and having kids. As far as fm concerned, that organ’s just dead weight”

The truth was, love and family had left her with scars too deep to ever really hea

She’d come to think that being on her own was just fine.

No heartbreak, no messy attachments, no obligations to anyone or anything. She could live her life on her own terms–quick, clean, and free. What could be better than that?

“hy, you can’t be serious Medicine is advancing all the time. There are always new options, and there are plenty of cases where women keep their uterus and still find relief. You can’t just give

Hearing Jamison’s serious tone only made lvy more imitable. Her mind was already crowded with images of him, his ex, and that woman’s son–all cozy, like some happy little family

When hy was in a bad mood, she had a habit of lashing out. So she shot back, “And why exactly is this your problem? I’m not your patient, so why are you so concerned?

Jamison’s face darkened and he dammed up, caught off guard by her bluntness

Just like that, the fragile truce they’d managed to build between them shattered, leaving them right back where they’d started

Suddenly, reality hit Jamison square in the chest

What was wrong with him, anyway?

Held never been the meddling type by wasn’t family, wasn’t even a friend–why did he care so much about her choices? Clearly, she didn’t appreciate it.

No good deed goes unpunished, he thought grimly

With a huff that was half laugh, half scoff, he replied, “You’re right. I overstepped. My apologies.” by caught the chill in his voice and became even more brisk. Tm driving. I need to go.”

Chapter 151

She was actually developing feelings for Micah’s uncle. Wasn’t her life complicated enough already?

Still, in a way, she was glad she’d gone to the hospital today.

Stumbling into that scene had snapped her back to reality.

Actually, she’d met Davina before.

At Emma’s recent birthday party, Ivy had rented a cottage to surprise her. The whole Ludwig clan showed up with their spouses and kids.

But at the time, Ivy had been so focused on Emma that the other guests barely registered. No wonder she’d gotten things mixed up.

Jamison, on the other hand, had no idea any of this was running through her mind.

Back at the hospital, his colleagues looked up in surprise when he walked into the department.

“Professor Ludwig, weren’t you supposed to be off today?” one of the residents asked, curious.

“What, is my being here messing with your workflow?” Jamison’s mood was in tatters, and he defaulted to his old habit of snapping at people.

Jamison sat down at his desk, but his mind refused to settle.

His phone buzzed with a notification. He glanced down, unlocked it.
