“So what?” Neville cut her off, his tone firm. “I already told Susie yesterday. There’s no chance for us. Just let it go.”
Amya paused, surprised, then understood what he meant. She asked coldly, “Is this because of that lowly model?”
Neville’s frown deepened at her words. “How many times do I have to say she’s not just some lowly model? She owns her own business.”

Amya’s constant nagging only made Neville more frustrated.
Annoyed, he stretched out his hand and pressed the nurse’s call button.
The nurse entered and inquired, “What do you need?”
“I need the surgery done immediately,” Neville demanded sharply.
His mind was filled with the fear of losing Miley if he didn’t get out of the hospital soon.
In Pinster Hospital, Flossie stood by the bed, gazing at the pale figure lying there, deep in thought.
The doctor had assured her that Benny was out of danger, but it was uncertain when he would regain consciousness.
