Chapter 58: 58

SEAN'S POINT OF VIEW

"I don't get what you mean," I replied with a narrowed gaze-- trying to wear a nonchalant expression.

"I am covering for Dr. Yrna's patients, including Miss Sevilla."

I felt a pool of blood rushing into my head, sending heat into my face. If I would look at myself in the mirror, I knew I would see a beet-red face, along with the sharp darts of my eyes. I hate myself for being too careless. Why didn't I think of warning Dr. Yrna to keep this matter with Calla between ourselves? Why did she choose Red's close friend to cover for her absence of all obstetricians out there?

"I am never betraying her. Not all things you want to hide means betrayal," I answered, giving her a sharp gaze. "I have reasons."

"There should be open communication. I'm sure she would understand. Why not make her a part of the plan?"

Why not make her a part of the plan instead of hurting her with my lies? Leila made sense, and I felt guilty.
