"Daddy!" Chloe called, then turned to the woman. "Daddy's here, he's going to help."
"I don't think…" the voice sounded so familiar.
As she turned to look at me… I recognized her immediately.
"Miss Olivia, this is Daddy," Chloe introduced her to me. "Daddy, she was crying. I think she's hurt."
It was her. Olivia was here. What was she doing here? She shared the same shock that I did.
"What the hell?" she muttered.
That explained the heart pounding.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
She looked at her feet and rubbed her arms nervously, unable to answer my questions.
"Is something wrong? Do you know her?" Mom asked.
Olivia looked at the both of us, and the worried look on her face increased.
"Remember the girl from London?" I whispered to her.
"Oh, my," Mom said. "What is she doing here?"
"I don't know either," I said.
"I'm… I don't…. I…" Olivia looked like she wanted the ground to open and swallow her up. She stopped and looked around her. "My things."
I turned and saw a traveling bag and a folder on the floor along with a purse. Chloe let go of me and went to pick up the folder and brought it to Olivia.
"Thank you, Soph- ahem, Chloe," Olivia said, then turned to me. "I was sent here by Dr. Ethan Sullivan. Are you Dr. B. Sullivan?"
She was going to act like nothing happened.
"Do you want me to go with Chloe?" Mom asked me. "So you two can talk?"
"No," Chloe and Olivia objected.
I understood Chloe's rejection but not Olivia's.
"You promised I could stay," Chloe whined.
Olivia didn't give a reason but she didn't look like she wanted Chloe leaving. I don't know why, but I had a good feeling about leaving two of them together.
"Well, if Ethan sent you, then you must be the new nurse," I said.
"Yeah I am," she replied. "I'm an auxiliary nurse, from the Dr. Helen William's hospital."
She was nervous. I was too. Even as I spoke to her with a straight face. My mind was recalling everything that happened that night. In her case, I could tell she was worried. Why wouldn't she?
She had abandoned me in that hotel and left nothing but a note that didn't make an atom of sense.
She had every right to be worried.
"Let's talk in my office," I said as I walked over to her traveling bag and picked it up.
"What about me?" Chloe asked.
