Holley swallowed hard, nodding.
“Alright, alright... | get it.”
But when she finally lay down that night, sleep refused to come. Each tshe closed her eyes, nightmares
clawed their way into her mind.

work today.
She was scheduled for the night shift, which began at six in the evening, so she spent the daylight hours in
Lucas’ ward, keeping him company.
Coincidentally, today also marked the day of Braden'’s surgery. Belinda had been worried about him.
After shesitation, she pulled out her phone, her fingers hovering over the screen for a brief moment before
she finally dialed Caiden’s number.
Caiden soon picked up the call.
“Star, what's the matter?” he asked.

“Fine, fine. | hear you. Once they start, I'll be in the observation room with the other cardiac surgeons, watching
the surgery. That should be enough to put your mind at ease, right?”
“That'll do,” Belinda replied before ending the call.
Sliding her phone back into her pocket, she turned and walked toward the ward.
Braden had originally been slated for surgery at four in the afternoon, but Turner had back-to-back operations
lined up before that. An unexpected complication in his second procedure had led to delays, and it wasn’t until
five that Braden was finally taken into the operating room.
