NURSE KIM......NURSE KIM...
*silence*
all that Abby heard after she called out was the sound of her own breathing.
Abby scanned the whole area and no sign of Kim the head nurse, she thought to herself
'How is it that she is always missing when things get busy'
she took a deep breath and slowly released it with her eyes closed trying to calm herself
as soon as she opened her eyes her phone started ringing, she rolled her eyes, cleared her throat 'ahem'...
and in her most calm voice, she said 'hello nurse Abby speaking'......' WHY ARE YOU STILL
NOT BACK'...Abby moved the phone away from her ear and Phoebe was still yelling...'HOW IS IT THAT YOU CAN NEVER
GET ANYTHING I ASK OF YOU DONE, MY 80-YEAR-OLD GRANDMA MOVES FASTER THAN YOU, GET...BACK...HERE NOW!!'
*silence*
'ABBY......remember why you took these extra shifts' she said to herself as she fought the urge to lose it for the gazillion times this week.
Although Abby had worked previously in the ED she hated the department, it was the only place she thought she would never voluntarily work at, yet
here she was, developing anger issues and constantly being yelled at by nurses, patients and doctors. She usually works as a scrub nurse in general surgery 4 days a week
in the mornings and in afternoons she was at her second job, but due to financial issues, she has had to pick up extra shifts in the ED as two nurses are on maternity leave and she needs the money.
*at the nursing station*
Phoebe was on the phone with Dr Park, giving him a handover from nurse Kim who left early due to a family emergency, while documenting patient admissions,
soon enough she got off the phone and started scanning for Nurse Abby who had yet to return. She spotted Nurse John: ''nurse John before you leave, can you please complete a set of observations for the male patient in the yellow seat!'
'sure' John replied.
As John was preparing the treatment room, Phoebe added 'the department snail has yet to return, who knows which country she is taking a detour in' *eye roll*
John understood who she was referring to and he just nodded and proceeded to call the patient in.
John was aware of phoebe's snide comments, in fact, he was maybe even immune to them.
Abby and Phoebe were actually childhood friends. They grew up in the same town, went to the same schools and even studied nursing together at the same university. They were close most of their lives even though they had completely different upbringings and circumstances. Although Phoebe was not rich, she came from a middle-class well off family where she was the only child, so she was a little more carefree and sometimes a little entitled, whereas Abby lived with her grandparents and her little brother after the disappearance of their mother, her father passed away when she was 10yrs old. This meant she also had a lot of responsibilities.
They started drifting at the end of high school and even more so in their first year of university, while phoebe was busy partying and making friends, Abby was busy working different part-time jobs
*babysitting
*tutoring
*waitressing
*kitchen hand
*cleaner
you name it she has done it all. She not only had to put herself through school she had to look after her brother to help her aging grandparents all the while keeping her grades up
Dayna had worshiped her husband, only to watch him strip her late mother's estate and lavish devotion on another woman. After three miserable years, he discarded her, and she lay broken-until Kristopher, the man she once betrayed, dragged her from the wreckage. He now sat in a wheelchair, eyes like tempered steel. She offered a pact: she would mend his legs if he helped crush her ex. He scoffed, yet signed on. As their ruthless alliance caught fire, he uncovered her other lives-healer, hacker, pianist-and her numb heart stirred. But her groveling ex crawled back. "Dayna, you were my wife! How could you marry someone else? Come back!"
Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé. Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one? Wrong. One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup. So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise. Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol. Enter him. Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes. It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised. But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life. And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made. Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with. And now, he's not letting me go.
Blinded in a crash, Cary was rejected by every socialite—except Evelina, who married him without hesitation. Three years later, he regained his sight and ended their marriage. "We’ve already lost so many years. I won’t let her waste another one on me." Evelina signed the divorce papers without a word. Everyone mocked her fall—until they discovered that the miracle doctor, jewelry mogul, stock genius, top hacker, and the President's true daughter… were all her. When Cary came crawling back, a ruthless tycoon had him kicked out. "She's my wife now. Get lost."
After hiding her true identity throughout her three-year marriage to Colton, Allison had committed wholeheartedly, only to find herself neglected and pushed toward divorce. Disheartened, she set out to rediscover her true self-a talented perfumer, the mastermind of a famous intelligence agency, and the heir to a secret hacker network. Realizing his mistakes, Colton expressed his regret. "I know I messed up. Please, give me another chance." Yet, Kellan, a once-disabled tycoon, stood up from his wheelchair, took Allison's hand, and scoffed dismissively, "You think she'll take you back? Dream on."
After two years of marriage, Sadie was finally pregnant. Filled with hope and joy, she was blindsided when Noah asked for a divorce. During a failed attempt on her life, Sadie found herself lying in a pool of blood, desperately calling Noah to ask him to save her and the baby. But her calls went unanswered. Shattered by his betrayal, she left the country. Time passed, and Sadie was about to be wed for a second time. Noah appeared in a frenzy and fell to his knees. "How dare you marry someone else after bearing my child?"
Evelina, a mute girl, married Andreas believing he alone would shield her from a world of misery. Three years later, she carried invisible bruises: a miscarried child, a smirking mistress who shamed her in public, and a husband who treated her as a pawn. Love no longer tempted her, nor did she crave another chance. Andreas thought Evelina would never leave him, but when she walked out without a backward glance, panic set in. "Andreas, face the truth. It's over," Evelina declared firmly. He blinked back tears as he stated, "I can't let go." For the first time, she chose herself-and let her heart lead the way.
