He read the medical description, the surgery details, the dates, and every line written in the documents. Then his eyes suddenly stopped at the signature near the bottom of the page.
A confused, disbelieving laugh escaped him.
“Look at this,” he said immediately, pointing at the screen with trembling fingers. “These papers are signed as Amara Hawk, not Amara Creed.”
He looked up at Cassian as if he had just found proof that the entire thing was fake.
“She would never do that,” Elias said firmly.
His voice sounded strained as he looked back at the signature again.
“Amara would never let anyone call her Amara Hawk.”
Another humorless scoff escaped him.
“Have you even met that woman?” he snapped. “Ever since we got married, she practically fought anyone who used her old surname.”
His grip tightened around the phone, shaking it slightly as he pointed at the signature again.
“She would never let the doctors admit her under that name, and she would never sign this,” Elias insisted sharply. “This is fake.”
Cassian was starting to lose patience.
He dragged a frustrated hand over his face before taking a slow breath.
“It’s not fake,” he said seriously.
Elias looked at him sharply.
“It was Amara herself who asked the doctors to change the papers.”
Elias froze slightly.
Cassian continued calmly despite the tension.
“She requested to be admitted as Amara Hawk instead of Amara Creed,” he explained. “She told them she didn’t want your surname anywhere on her medical documents.”
Elias’s expression slowly changed.
“Look through the files properly,” Cassian said quietly. “The proof is in there. The hospital canceled the original records and created new documents under the name Amara Hawk.”
Elias immediately lowered his gaze back to the phone.
His fingers quickly moved across the screen as he flipped through the files again.
And then he saw it.
There were indeed two sets of documents.
The first set had been created under the name Amara Creed, but those papers were incomplete and unsigned.
The second set—
Amara Hawk.
Cassian watched his expression carefully before speaking again.
He lowered his voice. “She personally asked them to change it. She said she didn’t want to be treated as a Creed anymore.”
