Chapter 45
Scott put down his phone and stared out the window at the night sky. His expression was just as dark as the sky before him.
“Scott,” all of a sudden, Olivia’s voice rang out behind him.
Scott turned around and came face–to–face with a smiling Olivia. “Come on. Let’s go get some dinner.. Sasha’s fine now, and she’s resting.
Scott continued to stare at her. “You’ve just returned to the country, so you must’ve plenty of things to catch up with. I’ve already asked my assistant to book your tickets. You’re flying back to Willowstown tomorrow.”
The smile disappeared from Olivia’s face.
With that, Scott turned and strode away, leaving Olivia standing there, looking lost and confused. She opened her mouth to say something, but no words came out.
Some words were not meant to be said out loud since they could ruin everything she knew.
She clenched her fists and plastered another smile on her face, then stared at Scott, who was about to into Sasha’s room, and said, “I don’t need you to dictate what I do and don’t. Leah asked me to help her look after Sasha, and if you want to send me away, you can speak to Leah directly.”

The truth was, Dean was not a very particular man and did not need Charles to do all this for him, but he could not stop Charles in time. He smiled and replied, “It’s fine, Charles. You’ve already done enough.”
“No, no, I’m afraid if I’ve left out anything. Don’t be shy, Mr. Goodwin–just let me know if you need anything, and I’ll get it for you.”
Dean nodded. “I will, Charles. Thank you.”
Charles grinned. “No problemh, Mr. Goodwin.”

He was about to return to the hospital to see Naomi again when his phone rang. He smiled when he
saw the name on the screen.
“Hi, Naomi.”
“Charles, it’s me, Mrs. Goodwin.” to his surprise, it was not Naomi on the other end of the line, but
