"I"m not in the mood to remove st.i.tches . I could have somebody else do it . But, I won"t . I need an excuse to see that you"re still doing well . I"ll come to take them out next week . There"s no harm in doing it now, but you know . I don"t want to . You"re in enough pain . " Wu put the last of her instruments back in her back before swinging it crossbody .

The doctor"s hamd was warm and calloused from years of surgeries . Strangely it reminded Ellie of her mom"s hamds . "I am lucky that I enjoy your conpany and there was a good outcome .

It was a fool"s errand to be such a woman . But, she knew if she shone a light on that other road Henry would immediately recoil and lump her in with the woman who just wanted his money .
