Chapter 66: The Heart Can Be So Very Weak

George

"Don't you know it's illegal to lie to a medical professional about your relations?" Ella asks breezily, calmly. Her smile is sharp and her eyes are cold.

"What lie?" I ask calmly, and she scoffs.

"Darla, make sure there's a permanent note on record for me that I in no way, shape or form, have a husband. I have an EX husband, and he's not on my visitor list."

"Understood, Dr. Reina. Do you need help returning to your room?"

I'm about to offer, but Ella cuts me off.

"No, I'm all right, I'll make it there myself. Have a good day, Darla." Ella turns around, stumbling a bit before catching herself and I rush to her side to help.

"Sir—sir! Dr. Reina has already made it clear you're not allowed any visitation rights! Please leave or I'll call the guards."

"If you do that I will pull all my funding from this hospital," I hiss, making her flinch away.

"Dr. Reina..." the poor receptionist is so shaken she looks like she's about to fall out of her seat, and Ella takes a breath.
