“Morning, cousin.”

“I thought you were in surgery this morning,” I said as we walked into the building.

“My seven a.m. surgery got canceled last night, and my next one isn’t until noon. So, I thought I’d come in and catch up on some reports.”

“Good idea. Have a good day.” I patted his back as we reached the second floor.

“You too.” He smiled.

I took the third flight of stairs up to my practice.

“Morning, Kelsey.” I smiled when I walked in.

“Good morning, Dr. Kind.”

“Can you grab me a coffee and bring it to my office?”

“Of course,” she said.

“Thank you.” I walked into my office and set my leather bag down.

My office staff consisted of my medical receptionist, Kelsey, my medical assistant, Myra, and my nurse, Ashley. My patient load was growing by the day, and I seriously needed to consider hiring a physician’s assistant.

“Here you are, Dr. Kind.” Kelsey set the cup of coffee on my desk.

“Thanks, Kelsey.” I picked up the cup and took a sip.

The morning was busy with back-to-back patients. Luckily, I kept on schedule, which allowed me a thirty-minute lunch break until I started seeing patients again at one o’clock. Conner had texted me earlier and told me that a patient of his sent in some food for all of us and to come down and grab a bite.

“Who sent all this in?” I asked as I walked into the kitchen area and saw all the food sitting on the island.

“A patient of mine who loves me.” Conner grinned. “Dig in. There’s pasta, chicken, potatoes, green beans, and a salad.”

“Don’t mind if I do.” I grabbed a plate.

Georgia walked in with her hand covering her nose and mouth.

“What’s wrong, Georgia sunshine? Morning sickness getting the best of you?” Conner asked.

“Yep, and if I smell that food, I’m going to lose it right here.” She walked over to the refrigerator and grabbed a bottle of water.”

Nathan walked in and grabbed a plate. “I literally have ten minutes to eat, and then I have to get back to my patients.”

“Running behind today?” I smirked.

“Yeah. One of my patients didn’t like what I had to tell her, and she spent thirty minutes arguing with me.” He shook his head.

“We’ve all been there, bro.” Conner patted Nathan’s back.

While the three of us sat down at the table and ate, Sebastian walked in, holding Noah.

“What the hell is this?” His brow arched as he stared at the food on the island. “Who made this?”

“A patient of mine sent it in,” Conner said. “It’s good. Have some.”

“Hey, Noah.” I smiled as I held my arms out, and Sebastian handed him over to me. “What are you doing here?” I asked him.

“We were out running errands, and I thought I’d bring him by to see Emilia.”
