Always

18.

Though me fighting against Conrad didn't work at all, he got me in his car. America left and wish I get better.

"I'm fine Conrad. It's nothing-"

"You couldn't keep food down for longer than 10 minutes Victoria. That's not fine. That is concerning. Maybe I should just call Zane."

"No. Don't call him. He's supposed to be with Eden."

"But he's also a doctor and your brother babe."

"Don't call him. I'll do this check up willingly as long as you don't disturb any of my brothers."

"...Fine."

We got to the clinic and Conrad got me an appointment. He even came back to the room with me. I leaned on him, exhausted from today.

"Hello I'm your nurse for today. What seems to be the problem."

Conrad and I both told her. She nodded and typed on her computer. She froze for a moment then looked at me.

"Is your brother Zane Rivera by any chance Victoria?"

She asked me. I nodded yes.

"You work for him, don't you?"

"I do. He's a lovely man."

"Mhm. And his wife is nicer than he."

I told the nurse, sensing she liked Zane.

"I'm sure. Well he's your doctor and will be here shortly."

The nurse said and left.

"I didn't do anything Viki, I promise."

I shrugged.

"Zane basically owns all the clinics in the area. I wouldn't expect anything less from him then working here."

"Do you often get asked if you are related to them all?"

"No. Cause I don't look like them. Or act like them. No one asked until I came here, then added Rivera to my name...I miss living in New York where very few people even knew my name. It was Hill at the time."

"I miss New York too. We'll be there shortly though."

Conrad kissed my forehead and rubbed circles with his thumb on my thigh.

"I love you."

"I love you to-"

"Didn't expect to see you any where need a clinic, let alone this one Tori...Conrad."

Zane gave note of Conrad being with me. Conrad cleared this thoat and shifted uncomfortably in his chair.

"I see you've been sick all day. Did you eat something Tori? Are you feeling any better?"

"I didn't eat anything before I started throwing up Zane. And yes, I'm feeling better than I was half an hour ago."

"I'm relived then...Okay, so you could just have a stomach bug, maybe strep."
