He smiles. "This is my house." He said.

I look at the clinic and turn to look at him. “Are you serious?”

“Do I look like I’m joking?” he asks. I shook my head.*

“Your wounds are healed.” He said. “Your strain bones are about to heal.” He added. “Are you sure you don’t want to let them know that you are safe?”

“It’s okay so that they won’t see me like this.”

He chuckled. “How about the other guy… I mean, aren’t you afraid that if you show now he’ll also show himself again?

"Nope. I’m not afraid of him. What I’m frightened about is the reaction of my family.” I replied.

“Until when are you going to stay here?” he asks.

“Are you driving me out?” I ask.

He chuckled. “No, my point is… I want to have a nice and long sleep because I don’t have a better rest because of you.”

"Sorry and can you please don’t laugh like that.”

“Why?”

“You laugh like a girl who saw her crush when her friends tease her then you just laugh it out?”

He suddenly burst into laughter. “Now I finally know you.” He said which surprised me. “You’re the famous car and motor racer named Rackie. You are the genius intern from one of the biggest hospital in the city, a painter, aspiring photographer and a writer.” He said smiling. “Abstract Wrighthood, right?” I’m really surprise. It seems like I got mute. “Don’t worry, you’re safe here. Actually, we are the same… we both hide.”

I crooked my forehead. I am now thinking if he’s a criminal and just pretending to be an OB/Gyne. Wait! Don’t tell me his permit is just a bluff in this clinic however he knew what he’s doing. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Hey! I'm not a criminal or whatever you think right now. I’m hiding from my family like my brother.” he said. "And my name isn't really Haven same as you, Abbie."

“Now you’re making me think…”

He laughs. “Don’t worry, I didn’t pretend all along. I just didn’t say my real name.” he said then walk towards me.

My eyes widen. “You are—”

He covered my mouth and smiled at me. “Quiet.”

“Is this true? You’re really…” I ask and he nod. I look around and lean my face a little towards him. “You are the famous and handsome OB/Gyne from Vietnam?” I whispered.

He laughs. “I should studied dentistry.”

I place my head back to the headrest. “Bad breathe?

He smiled. “No, I’m just amazed that I brushed your teeth last night but up until now you still have that minty fresh breathe.”

I stared at him. “Okay, go ahead and praise yourself.” I said while smiling.

“But seriously, until when are you going to hide to your family? Isn’t it you said that you and your family are okay so why don’t you want to let them know that you’re okay?”

“I don’t want to involve them with this mess.” I replied. “It’s better if they are clueless.”

He sat to the chair next to where I lie down. “This is just a wild guess since we don’t have the right equipments here in the clinic that you really need, it will take time for you to totally recover even though your broken bones are about to heal.” He said. “Can you wait that long?” he asks.

“I can wait. Everything will be worth it but…”

“But what?”

“I have a plan that will not make you suspicious.” The moment he heard what I said he face turn pale.

I’m able to walk, it’s been four years now that I’m hiding to my family and friends.

“Are you sure with your plan?” he ask nervously.

“Yes, all you have to do is to stab my wound that is about to heal then you’ll drive me over to the Heart Medical Center that you are working hard for.” I said.

"But, this is serious, stabbing you? They might notice and I don’t want to lose my license as a physician.”

“That’s why you are wearing gloves, right?”

"But!"

"No buts!" after I said that I suddenly hold my lower belly.

"Are you alright?" he asks.

I shout from the pain I felt. I close my eyes tight from the severe pain. “Ouch!” I said and bit my lower lip.

Without even asking what is happening, he carried me and carefully put in the car. “Just hold on, okay?”

"I can't!" I said while looking for a scissor inside the car.

“Were still far from the hospital.” He said.

His senses were all gone. “The place we left is your clinic for whoever sake it is!” I yelled while I’m busy cutting my underwear. Actually, I really don’t know why but all I thought is I need to a long push so the pain I feel will stop. After I removed my underwear, I did what I thought I should do.

I felt the car stopped. “Abbie, don’t play a prank!” he shouts then turn to look at me. “I’m in panic…” he suddenly turns pale when he saw what’s in between my thighs.

The moment I woke up I’m already in the hospital. I have oxygen and I can hear people arguing.

"How many times do I have to tell you, nothing happened to us and more importantly, I didn’t impregnate her!” Solar said irritably.

I turn to the right side where I hear voices arguing and I saw Dr. Air, Director Art, CEO Red, Dr. Allie and Lunar who crooked their forehead. “Hey, what’s happening?” I ask but it seems like I don’t have any voice that came out from my mouth.

Solar suddenly look at me then grab my hand. “Help me! Let them know that we don't have a relationship and I didn't father your, I mean I'm not the father of your—"

"What do you mean you didn't father my what?" I ask full of confusion.
