Thinking it foolish to waste time on his own affairs.
Clearly, he should have been next.
Justin Nelson simply stood up to leave.
After just a few steps, a familiar female voice reached him.
“Hey, where’s the patient who was just here?”
“Never mind. Next! You come in.”
The surrounding noise seemed to vanish instantly.
Only her voice echoed in Justin’s ears, mingling with thunder, growing clearer.
His breathing quickened, sweat beading in his palms.
Justin slowly turned around.
Though only her profile was visible,

Justin’s lips trembled, eyes blazing with joy as he rushed forward.
A security guard blocked his path.

No joy stirred within her. No excitement.
Only hatred–consuming her in an instant.
Her gaze turned glacial.
Justin struggled to lift his head, meeting Janet’s icy, emotionless eyes.

A weak, strained smile touched his lips.
“Janet, I finally found you.”
“Don’t be afraid. I saw everything–this man was bullying you.”

Justin flushed crimson all the way to his ears from sheer embarrassment.
Yet his laser focus remained on Roger’s words about “the most important person in her life.”
He glared daggers at Roger and snapped, “What’s between you two?”
