Chapter 67

Liam's POV

I have been swamped with patients the moment I stepped into the hospital. Many kids were brought in due to stomachache, fever, and vomiting. I'm up on my feet for 4 hours straight, jumping from one patient to another.

I haven't called Bella since I arrived. I bet she's worried sick by now. I went to my office to relax a little bit before making the last rounds and then go home. I should call my fiance, or she will not stop worrying all night.

Before I can grab my phone, there was a knock on my door, and the she-devil walks in. I furrowed my brows, not liking the intrusion, but we are at work. I should behave like a professional.

" What can I do for you, Dr. Johnson?" I asked in a clipped voice. She walked in further to the room and sat in front of my table.

" Oh, I only want to say hi, Liam. You were soo busy since you arrived, I didn't have the chance to say hi. How are you? Were you able to sleep after that kiss?" She smiled seductively and ran her fingers on my hand.

I snatched my hand and glared at her. The nerve of this woman. She shouldn't be a psychiatrist. She's the one who needed a shrink.

" Dr. Johnson, I thought I made myself very clear that night. Stay the hell away from me, and don't even try flirting with me. You are just wasting your time. I think you needed help. There's something wrong with your head." I hissed and gave her a death glare.

" Liam, Liam, Liam. The more you resist, the more I want you. And as I've said, what I want, I get. Please call me Paige, babe." She said, laughing like a lunatic.

" Get out of my office right now, or I'll report you to the management for sexual harassment!" I shouted at her and pointed at the door. She got up and raised her two hands.

" Easy lover boy, you don't have to be rough. I prefer you do that when we are in bed. Bye, baby, I'll see you around." She winked and blew me a kiss before she walked out. What a psycho!

I grabbed my phone, and I saw that Bella had a message for me. I read it before giving her a call. I composed myself first so that she won't notice I'm in a foul mood. She answered on the third ring, sounding worried as I've suspected.

" Liam! Are you okay?  I haven't heard from you since you left this afternoon. Have you had your dinner?" She bombarded me with questions right away.

" Baby, slow down.: I chuckled. It was so good to hear her voice after that nightmare a while ago.

" I'm sorry, I wasn't able to text you right away, baby. We had a lot of patients, and I start work as soon as I arrived. I'll be there in an hour, love. I'm done with my checkups and come back in the morning for my rounds." I apologized, and I can hear her sighed with relief. Something must have been bothering her.

" Okay, babe. I'll heat your dinner when you're almost here. I've prepared chicken Alfredo pasta for dinner. Come home safe, okay? Have you seen that woman?" She asked about that devil as if she had the third eye.

" I thought I saw her a while ago, but I stayed away and kept myself busy and surrounded with people. I'm going now, baby. I'll fix my things and will be on my way home." I lied to her. I don't want to add any more stress to her. I'll tell her later when I get home.

" Okay, babe. Drive safely, and be careful." I heard her say, and we said our goodbyes. I took off my gown and changed my shirt. I'll pass by the patients on my way out. Right now, I need my baby in my arms. I am so f*****g stressed and tired.

I grabbed my bag and went out of my office. I made sure I locked the door before proceeding to the wards. I gave instructions to the nurses and told them. I'll be back in the morning to check on my patients.

On my way out, I saw that devil woman again. She is obviously waiting for me. I sidestepped and ignored her. I went out of the entrance and walked faster to my car. I can feel her following me, so I stopped.

" What the f**k do you want? Why are you following me?" I yelled and stared icily at her.

" I just want to send you off, babe. Maybe I can get a hug and a kiss?" She smiled evilly. I'm losing it. I want to strangle her to death!

" Stay away from me, or I swear to God!" I warned her and got in my car. I slammed the door and locked it right away. She stood there grinning like a hyena. She's up to something, but he can do that I will be one step ahead of her.

I will report her to the higher up and have her kicked out of the hospital. I need to call Detective Drew and asked if he found out something about her. I drove off out of there and rushed to go home. I was gripping the steering wheel so tight I can't feel blood on my fingers.

I dialed Detective Drew's number and have him on speakerphone. It took him a while to answer, but after a time, he did.

" Dr. Jones," he answered.

" Detective. Have you looked into Dr. Johnson's background yet? Did you find anything? This woman has been harassing me everywhere, and I get a bad feeling about her." I told him with an edge on my voice.

" Not yet, Dr. Jones, so far all we gathered is that she came from a Mental Health Institute in the city. But the funny part is, the staff there said she went missing for a while and didn't report to work after she had a visitor." He disclosed.

" We are trying to get t the bottom of her disappearance and determine who the visitor was. What's bugging me is the time she went missing is the exact time one of the patients went missing. Jenny Wilson, that's the patient's name."He continued, and I stepped on my brake so suddenly and felt cold.

" Jenny Wilson? Are you sure?" I asked him, shocked, and suddenly felt scared.

" Yes, Doctor. Do you know her? We are following the case of the body of the woman found burnt beyond recognition in an abandoned building near the facility." He said. I gripped my hair and cursed.

" She was my ex in high school, and we didn't part ways on good terms. I didn't hear any more from her after we fought when I caught her cheating on me. Please, detective, let me know as soon as you have news." I begged him. Now I am more scared of my family's safety.

" I will, Doctor Jones. I want to catch this lunatic as well. Your girlfriend is so stressed because of this stalker. He sent yet another text to her a while ago with a photo of the three of you at the supermarket." He told me, and I cursed again. Bella didn't tell me anything about it when I called.  I cut our call and thanked the detective.

I turned on my ignition again and drove fast to get to my family right away. This is really getting out of hand. Whoever this is, either he wants to scare us or really out for blood. If it's Jenny or her brother, why would they do this to us?

It's been years since that incident, and we were in high school then. This is really crazy. I need to catch this guy or them to have peace, and my Bella won't be living in fear anymore.
