Chapter 129

• Vanessa’s POV
• I stepped into the hospital, my mind preoccupied with a myriad of thoughts and uncertainties, and unexpectedly crossed paths with a young nurse. I wasn’t in the mood for pleasantries, but he didn’t see that, and I thought he might be able to help me.
• His warm smile and gentle demeanor offered a brief respite from the turmoil within me, drawing my attention and momentarily easing the weight of my burdens. Dressed in crisp sky-blue scrubs, he exuded quiet confidence, his eyes sparkling with a hint of curiosity as he greeted me with genuine warmth.
