A Cut To Love

Chapter 25

SAVANAH

"No Leo you can't do that, it's not simple if by any chance William wins the case her career is ruined."

I recognised the voice with my eyes still closed. It was Jul. I opened my eyes to see myself in Leo's living room. And the sky turned pitch black.

Holy Jesus I can't, I slept most of the day and I still don't know what to do.

I stood up from the bed and instantly fell to the ground. My head started to revolve, my eyes automatically shut.

Someone came running into the room I heard the footsteps.
"Savanah get up slowly," Leo said.

Leo pulled me up from my arms and made me sit on the bed.

"L-leo it's dark, I have to find a solution the-otherwise everything I ever worked for will be gone," I said with tears running down my face.

"Shhh baby it's okay, I got in covered look," Leo said while putting his phone in front of me and playing a video.

The head of the cardio department of the White Hill Hospital is now gonna pay for his sins.

Dr Peter William is being arrested this morning from the hospital on a charge of sexual molestation of one of the surgical residents. Dr Savanah Michelle Rodriguez.

According to the chief of this hospital, Dr Richatd Nolic says that the first complaint by Dr Rodriguez was denied by the medical administrator despite having physical witnesses.

I was shocked, this was in the news. Everything was in the news. The video was still playing off the cops dragging William out of the hospital and shoving him into the van.

I saw nurses of the hospital holding banners in support of me, I even recognised Nancy who is a nurse in the hospital and also filed a complaint about him but it eventually got denied.

She was telling the reporters her story. I lift my eyes to look at Leo and at this moment I saw something flash in his eyes.

Love? No

Sympathy? Yes

"I always got you," Leo whispered to me. I move my face towards Leo and joined my head with Leo's head.

"Thank you so much, Leo, I don't know how to thank you," I said still sobbing.

Leo cupped my cheeks and kissed my tears. If it was a normal day I would be flustered but today I felt cared for, I felt like somebody I matter to.

"Stop crying and when was the last time you ate," Leo asked moving a little away from me.

"I don't remember maybe before I talked to William," I said while wiping my tears.

"Common, everyone went home, and you need to eat," Leo told me and I walked to the kitchen with him.

Leo started to boil the pasta and chop the vegetables. He wore a black hoodie and grey sweatpants.

He pulled his sleeve up to his elbow and started to cook the food. Leo's arms were clean without a tattoo.

He had muscular veiny hands and the way his fingers moves while cutting the vegetables was art.

Jesus, you are getting filthy Savanah.

To distract me from ogling Leo I looked around Leo's kitchen. My attention was trapped by Leo's freezer.

It had like a carton full of my favourite carbonated pineapple juice. And then it hit me Leo promised me he will not let me drink, but it didn't mean that he will not drink himself.
