Chapter 34 〰️ Tender

Lia's POV

"What do you mean he hasn't been here these past few days??" I grasped onto Michelle's desk, my voice cracking as I struggled to catch up with my own breath. "Michelle, please... we both know I have to know...did he go to his foster home?"

"You know about thi..."

"I know everything about Ross. Please let me help him, please tell me where he is," I literally begged, watching her astonished state.

The way my blood rushed everywhere brought panic in me...and i knew too well I would never relax until I see him.

"He's at his foster home, yes. But he never told anyone where that is."

Fuck.

"William this is Lia, Lia this is William, my foster brother."

William...

"On which floor is Dr. William?"

"Tenth," she signed me a pass slip, shaking her head as I ran a hand through my hair. "I can't believe you know all of this."

I ignored her confrontations and quickly ran to the elevator after taking the slip. I dialed my father's number, frowning at the sight of my shaky hands.

Nothing mattered anymore, nothing stopped me from chasing him, not even my anxiousness.

I wasn't going to scurry back...I was running after comfort. He was love, he was safety.

"Dad you can go home. He's currently not here and his brother is going to drive me to where he is," I rapidly answered, waiting in the elevator patiently.

"Are you sure about this Lia?"

"Yes...please let me fix my mess. I can stay on the line with you if it helps."

"Alright then. Where are you now?"

"I'm about to enter his brother's clinic," I said, watching the doors open slowly.

I ran to the receptionist after placing my phone in my jean pocket, too worried to be scared of people.

"I'm Sorry, Dr. Nick just finished with his last pa..."

"I'm not here for a check up," I cut her off, handing her the pass slip, "but seeing him right now is way too urgent."

"Who gave you this?"

"William!" I ignored her questions, knocking on the doctor's door loudly, "William, it's me, Lia. Ross' uhh, the blonde date he was with."

I heard footsteps, followed by the handle twisting making me step back.

"Why are you here? You're not pregnant, are you?"

'Gynecologist'

I just ran into a freaking gynecologist.

"N-no," I shook my head, sighing heavily. "Ross packed and went to his foster home because of me..."

"Shit...what've you done that got him to this point? He never goes there unless it's serious," he ran a hand through his hair, closing the lights and following me to the elevator.
