As long as Samantha gave in and came to him immediately, his anger would dissipate instantly.
Samantha hesitated.
She couldn’t ignore Cynthia, but iyan was injured because of her. She didn’t even know how serious his condition was yet. How could she just leave him behind? Just then, the doors to the operating room opened,
A few nurses wheeled a hospital bed out.

He wasn’t going to stop until she acknowledged him
She was anxious to check on him, so she had no choice but to put Leonardo on hold.
“I’m sorry. I have to check on my friend. We’ll have to reschedule the signing of the marriage certificate. Let me know when you’re available, and I’ll work around your schedule. I’ll make it up to you.”
“Make it up to me? And how exactly do you plan to do that?”
“I really am sony!”
Taking a deep breath, she made up her mind and decisively hung up
On the other end of the line, Leonardo was left fuming.
“Samantha! You’re unbelievable!”
As soon as Samantha put her phone away, she actually

She had no idea how to face Leonardo right now, but she could only deal with one problem at a time. Ryan came first–then she would handle the rest. “Doctor, how is he doing?”
She rushed over to the doctor who had performed Ryan’s surgery.

Such open, shameless affection was surprisingly heartwarming
Samantha walked over to check on him. His leg was already wrapped in bandages and stabilized with a brace, making it possible to see the actual wound. But since he kept yelling about the pain, slie was genuinely worried. Saw turned to one of the nurses.
“İslur okay? Are you sure has wound was treated properly?”
