Chapter 26

"So you called the hospital to tell them you weren't coming in because of a family emergency? Please, you just wanted to stay at home with your man," Haruto's voice crackles through the speaker.

"No, I also wanted to spend time with his nephew," I argue rolling my eyes.

"Ah, but you're not even denying it that much. Did you guys have a hot date?" he snickers.

"Shouldn't you be taking care of patients right now, Doctor Sato?" I ask deflecting his question.

"I'm on a break, why do you think I called you? Besides, you were gone for the weekend so you weren't here during all the shit that happened," he tells me, all the fun dropping from his voice.

"What happened?" I ask pushing my chair back from my desk. I eye the clock seeing I only have ten minutes left before the final bell rings.

"Cora, my fucking god she came in like hurricane yesterday," he sighs.

"You mean she came all the way to the hospital?" I ask incredulously.

"The hospital? Oh no, it didn't start at the hospital, started from my fucking house," he says and I hear the frustration coming from him.

"She followed you from your house?" I ask breaking out into laughter.

"Oi, don't laugh you little shit. By the time we reached the hospital security had to hold her back from coming in while she kept shouting we were still meant to be and that we would have a future together, or how it's your fault we broke up," he tells me.

"Whatever she did is on her and no matter how hard she tried to hide it, even if she never told me or if you weren't there that day, you would have found out. No matter how hard someone tries to hide something, one way or another it gets known by people," I say to him and I can hear the annoyance behind my words. You can't blame me for the shit you pulled, who told you to go opening your legs for other men?  "And what a load of bullshit, it's not like I told her to go sleep around."

"Unless she has an emergency she can't come to the hospital for a social call and I know you'll ask well what if she starts coming and says she's injured and such," he continues.

"We don't turn her away because even if she's acting up we help anyone no matter what race, sex, gender, etc they are," I say finishing what he was going to say.

"You got it, and I hope this is just a wakeup call for her that I don't want anything to do with her," he sighs again.

"She might have made a stupid and selfish mistake but know she'll know reconciling with you now is a lost cause," I say reassuring him. my phone starts beeping and I glance at the screen seeing an unknown number calling me. "Hey Haruto, I'll call you later, someone's trying to call me, don't know who though."

"Alright, call me back later or I'll see you at the hospital the next time you're in," he tells me. I accept the other call and take my phone off of speaker pressing it to my ear. 

"Is this Ms. Victoria Marshall?" a male's voice asks through the line.

"Yes, who is this?" I ask suspiciously. 

"This is Officer Nash, I'm working on your car crash case from three weeks ago. Would it be possible to come into the station today and also bring in Oli Carson as well? Chief Carter informed me that you have custody of Oli after school hours," he tells me.

"I do, we'll come right over," I tell him.

"Glad to hear that. When you reach the station ask for me or the chief or Officer Beckett, I heard you knew him also," he informs.
