Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Summer Frost POV Xander was still looking the sway as before. He was still that handsman I married eight years ago. The sparkles in his charming brown eyes were still there. He was still the definition of perfection, just like eight years ago. Even after so many years, I was disappointed in myself that my heart still yearned for him.
"Summer?" He called for the second tas he finally walked up to me. By then, the doctor had led the little girl away and we were now left alone along the walkway. The shock on his face as he sawwas a priceless and satisfying one.
"It's really you... It's you, Summer," I thought he was going to snap atthe moment he saw me, but his reaction was rather confusing and shocking. He looked excited as though he had been looking forlong, but I knew that couldn't be the case. I tried to reach out to him severally until he blocked me, so it couldn't have been the case. I was sure of it..
His fingers trembled as he raised his hand to my face, but I stepped away from him just before his hand could touch me.
זיי "Excuse me? Who are you?" I was satisfied by the look on his face when I denied knowing him. I didn't know how to react, so pretending not to know him was the only thing that cto my mind.
"Wh...what are you saying?" He huffed and blinked his eyes a few times.
"Summer... It's me, Xander. I'm sure you know me," He touched his chest and raised his eyebrows.

"I'm sorry, Mr... I'm sure you must've mistakenfor someone else. My nis Summer, but i don't think I've seen this face before," I shook my head, and he huffed.
"It's me, Summer... It's me, your husband," Those words from him madealmost lose it. I tightened my fingers into a fist and bit my inner lip as waves of anger spurred through me.
"I'm sorry, Mr. But I don't have a husband," "Summer..." "Ma'am, are you d done?" I was glad when I heard Miguel's voice, so I turned around and found him walking toward me.
"Yes, Miguel. The surgery was successful," I smiled at Miguel. I couldn't hide my identity any longer since he already found out that I was the surgeon he had been trying to reach.
"The car is ready. We should head back home. Your Dad must be waiting for you," Miguel uttered, and I nodded. Turning back to Xander, I found him staring in confusion.
"Excuse me," I was about to leave when he held my hand and pulledback.
"You are messing with me, right? You are Summer... There is no way you just look like her. You are really Summer Frost, aren't you?" His grip around my hand tightened as his brown eyes pierced into mine, and for a moment I almost gave myself away to him but I was able to control it.
"Hmph! Hey! You are harassing me. I'm going to call the police on you," I yanked his hand off and stepped away from him.
"Summ..." He tried to touchagain, but this time, Miguel held my hand and pulled or behind him. He stood in front ofand glared ed at him.

"Let's go," I held Miguel's hand and pulled him with me.
"Summer... Summer..." I heard Xander callingas I walked down the walkway with Miguel, but I didn't spare him a single glance.
We arrived at the parking lot later, and the ride hbegan.
I didn't expect to have run into Xander just the next day of my coming home. This couldn't just be a coincidence, right? What was he doing at the hospital? "Why was Mr. Xander at the hospital?" I looked at Miguel and asked.

"I have no idea, ma'am. I think he is friends with Doctor Henry. He must've told him about your om presence in the hospital," 1 scoffed angrily as I looked out through the window. I already stated in my agreement with every doctor that my identity should be kept hidden and that man decided to breach it? "Do you want him sued for breach of agreement?" He glanced atthrough the mirror and asked.
"Cancel my partnership with the hospital. I won't be performing surgery in the hospital anymore," I stated to him; and he nodded.
"Ma'am, are you really not going to consider Mr. Xander? He seems to really be in need of..." "I told you to stop talking about him. I won't ever consider him," I cut him off, and he nodded.
For years, I had managed to keep everything that happened between us a secret. I never told Mr. Cooper about it even though he had askedseverally about my husband. Why did do that? Because I was protecting the bastard even after the pain he had caused me. I didn't want Mr. Cooper to get revenge forknowing he would destroy Xander's family. Why was I protecting him? Of course, I was foolish to still be in love with him after everything he madego through, and for that, I resented myself. My phone's ringing tone disrupted my thoughts and I swiped the screen of my phone after I checked the caller.
"We have been waiting to have breakfast with you, darling. Why are you not here yet?" Dad's voice sounded from the other end.
"I'll be hsoon, Dad," "Hurry up, darling. Someone is here to see you," "Who is that?" I was forced to ask curiously as I wasn't expecting anyone.
"You will find out when you chome," The call ended afterward leavingdying of curiosity. I didn't have an appointment with anyone, so who had cto see me?
