Silence, Miranda

ALEX

Waiting outside the hospital room was torture for Alex. He wanted to think of something better, something positive or an outcome that could make the day a little bit brighter, but the more he thought about that, the more he remembered Lia's bruised body.

He understood why the chief nursing officer was angry.

The hospital had taken the elite doctors to attend to Lia, maybe because of the power Alex held or maybe it was because Mia was a doctor there, but none of them knew that it was because of the angry chief nurse who looked like she wanted to squeeze the life out of Alex herself.

What the fuck had happened?

Alex sat on the waiting bench in the hope that he would be called in and be told that she was out of danger. Undoubtedly, she had been hit hard, and it would take a while before she went back to work or even got out of the hospital.
