Lawyer Chandler
Chapter 18
Vincents POV
For a moment I felt like I was captured in a hilarious cartoon. Every time we finally believed in us, believed that there was a way, a chance for us, a major event crashed down on us with full power and threatened to destroy our happiness. But I was determined to not let that happen again.
Catherine woke me from my thoughts:" What's bothering you!" her tone was soft and caring.
"Tori, she is in the hospital. And it seems like I am still the one to be informed first!" this was so frustrating.
"Didn't you tell me once, that her parents died. Maybe you were the only one they could call." she stated.
"Vincent, if you want me to come with you…" she murmured.
" I'll just check whether she is ok."
"You won't kiss her, right?" she joked, an attempt to lighten the mood.
"I promise!" I whispered and kissed her sweetly.
Slowly I entered room 500 only to find it empty, except for Tori in her bed.
No one except me came to visit her, Cat seemed to be right.
She looked horrible, dark circles under her eyes, pale skin and she started sobbing when she saw me.
"I thought you wouldn't show…" she whispered and leaned back into her pillows.
"When they called me you were still in surgery. How are you, Tori?" I asked sincerely.
"I feel like I got hit by a train." she winced.
I handed her a glass of water from the tray next to her bed and she smiled thankfully.
"So, why did they call me? Do you need anything? Money?"
I wanted to get to the topic directly, wanted to find out why the hospital called me, to get home to Catherine again.
She answered hesitantly:" There are a few things I want to tell you. You decide whether you believe me but honestly, no matter how many up's and down's we had in our relationship, now that it's over, I beg you to forgive me. I just need you to know that I take the blame, I was the one who made mistakes, who cheated. You belong with Catherine, I saw you with her and I know how happy she makes you. Fight for her, ok?" her voice cracked and tears ran down her cheeks again.
For a long time Tori was the woman I loved and planned to spend the rest of my life with but things have changed. My heart belongs to Catherine.
"If I find out that you break her heart, I'll kick your a**." she smiled under tears.
All I felt was relieve, the issues between Tori and me were resolved now, once and for all.
"I'm sorry!"
"What for?" I asked curiously.
"For hurting you. Please forgive me."
"It's ok, we've all made mistakes."
She raised her voice again, this time more hopeful:" Do you remember the photos we made at the day of our wedding? There is a hidden copy of it at your place. I want you to have them." she smiled shyly.
"Where do you live, Tori? I mean, do you have a boyfriend?" The words were out before I could stop them.
"I moved to my parents house with Evan, we started dating a month ago."
This was the information I needed. I had moved on and so had Tori.
Half an hour later I came home, opened the front door and found Catherine laying on the couch, her hair up in a bun and a bowl of chocolate ice cream on her lap, watching a crime show.
"Hey, you are eating my short supply of ice cream." I laughed and kissed her on her sweet lips. "Ahh, that's not my fault! I opened the refrigerator and the ice cream screamed at me to eat it." She shifted her legs, I sat down next to her and she offered me a huge spoon of ice cream.
"So, crime show is it then?" I responded to the woman screaming form the screen to us.
"I almost studied criminology but decided to become a lawyer like dad." she looked at me and continued to dig her spoon into the ice.
"And you? Are a doctor but can't see blood?"
"I love my job and no, I have no problem with seeing blood. Do you have to work tomorrow?" I tried to change the topic
"Tomorrow I have a day of, why?" she smiled.
"I have an idea. You and I have a date tomorrow."
