NovelEnglishHello 440 Chapter 440 Chapter 440 Lena didn't say anything at first, just buried her face in the crook of my neck.
I stroked her hair, teasing, "Missing Nate already, huh? It hurts, doesn't it?" "It's worse than when I was just crushing on him," she sighed tically.
"Well, duh! You just got a taste of what you've been wanting for, like, forever, and now you're left hangi Of course it stings," I said, nudging her with a playful grin. Lena flashed a bold grin. "Who says I have to wait? I could hop on a plane and be with him whenever I want." That remindedof their convo from last night. "Wait, are you seriously thinking about it?" She sat up on the couch, tucking her legs under her. "I don't know yet." Which meant she was seriously considering it. I mean, who wouldn't? After years of secretly crushing o Nate, she finally got him, and now he's miles away.
"Take your time," I said, giving her a playful nudge. "But con, spill. How was last night?" Lena pokedin the arm. "Didn't you say what I have, you have too? What's there to be curious about? "Um, everything!" I grinned, leaning in. "I need to know what Nate, Professor Perfect Gentleman, is like once the clothes coff." Lena gavea side-eye. "Ever since you got with Hayden, you've becso shameless." I burst out laughing. Okay, maybe I was pushing it, but I was dying to know! Everyone's different, and this was a big moment for her.

Nate had just left. Food wasn't exactly a priority when you're in a love haze. I wasn't super hungry either, so we just nibbled a bit.
Even though Hayden toldto rest, I decided to head out after cleaning up a little.
Lena and I made our way to the hospital to check on Tanya's baby. He was fast asleep in the incubator, and the nurse said he was doing great-growing fast, all his vitals looking perfect.
But the saddest part? Tanya hadn't cto see him. Not even once. Lena and I cared more about this little guy than his own mom did.
"Is Tanya still here, or did she get discharged?" I asked Lena, suddenly curious.
"She's still here," Lena started to say, but her phone rang.
She glanced at the screen, frowning. "It's the director of the hospital. What does he want?" She stepped aside to take the call, and I focused on the baby again. He had Tanya's eyes, but everything else? Totally Desmond.

1 zoned out for a bit, only snapping back when I realized Lena had finished her call. But she wasn't moving. She was just standing there, staring into space, looking seriously off.
I waved a hand in front of her face. "Hey, what's up? Did the director call to offer you a promotion or something? Scared you're gonna run off with Nate?" Lena turned to me, her face troubled, her eyes distant.

I froze.
Lena let out a bitter laugh. "She's accusingof using my position to take revenge and deliberately removing her uterus."
I blinked, my blood boiling. "That's such a load of crap! If anyone's m abusing their power, it's her! She's been spinning lies since day one." Lena shook her head. "I followed every protocol. The medical board will investigate, but it's out of my hands."
I'd watched enough TV s to know where this was going. "But for probably be suspended, Until they finish investigating?" She gavea small, resigned smile. "Looks like I'm getting an unexpected vacation." Chapter 441 +25 BONUS Chapter 441
