“Thank you. They’re beautiful. I’m sorry, but I don’t—”

“I know.” She sat on the edge of the bed and placed her hand on mine.

“What type of doctor are you?” I asked.

“I’m an OB/GYN and a fertility specialist. I’m also your doctor.” She smiled. “We work together at the medical center.”

“I can’t even comprehend that I’ve graduated and have my own practice.” My brows furrowed.

“I know it must be very scary, but you have a large family who loves you and will help you piece everything together.”

“I don’t have any family, Georgia.”

“Yes. You do. And they’re the best people anyone could ever ask for.” She squeezed my hand. “Conner left?”

“I asked him to. I wanted to be alone. I’m a very private person, and I don’t let people inside. I’m having difficulty figuring out how I let him into my life.” Tears filled my eyes.

“You fell in love with him. He’s a very lovable man.” The corners of her mouth curved upward. “And he loves you so much, Charlotte. We all do, and we will help you get through this.”

“Do you by any chance, know what happened to my phone?” I asked.

“I don’t, but I can find out.”

“Welcome back, Dr. Roman.” A doctor walked into the room with a smile on his face. “I’m Dr. Moretti. I repaired the bleeding in your abdomen on the day of the accident. I just came to take a look at your incision. Would you mind?”

“No, Dr. Moretti.” I pulled back the covers and lifted my gown.

Instantly, my brows furrowed as I noticed the knife wound scars were no longer as visible as they were. My heart started to race as I looked up at Georgia.

“Incision looks great. Are you experiencing any discomfort?” Dr. Moretti asked.

“A little bit. Nothing too bad.”

“Okay. Your chart shows that an occupational therapist will be here in the morning to get you up and moving around. If you need anything, let the nurses know, and they’ll page me.” He walked out of the room.

“What happened to my scars?” I asked Georgia.

“Nathan, Conner’s brother, is a plastic surgeon. He fixed them for you. It’s what you wanted.”

“When you say I have a large family, who are you talking about besides you, Jackson, and Conner?”

“Oh, gee.” She laughed. “There’s a lot of us. I’ll start with the brothers. Conner, Jackson, Christian, and Nathan. Then there are the cousins. Sam, Stefan, Sebastian, Simon, Shaun, Grayson, and Gabriel. But we just found out about Grayson and Gabriel not too long ago. There’s Aunt Barb, who is coming to see you tomorrow. She wanted to come today, but Jackson stopped her and told her no.”

“Why?” I asked.

“Well, she’s special.” Georgia laughed, and I smiled. “Then there are all of us girls. We’re more sisters than friends. Julia, Alex, Emilia, Grace, Jenni, Sofia, Charleigh, and myself.”

“Did I hear my name?” A woman walked in with a smile.

“I was telling Charlotte about her family,” Georgia spoke. “Charlotte, this is Charleigh. She’s a cardiac nurse practitioner and Christian’s girlfriend.”

“Hi,” I spoke.

“Hi, sweetie. I wanted to see how you’re doing before I head home.”

“So, all of Conner’s brothers are doctors?” I asked.

“Yes. And so are Grayson and Gabriel. Grayson is a trauma surgeon, and Gabriel is internal medicine.”
