Chapter 15: Guilty
"You are safe here." the doctor assured her in a warm voice as they sat in the car.
Nora was looking at the car as if she was looking at one for the first time. The fear and anxiety in her eyes with a hint of anticipation made her look so vulnerable.
She blinked and looked at the doctor in confusion as she held her dress tightly.
"Who are you and how do you know me?" Though she asked, she was trembling with thrill. When Penny had locked the door, Nora had seen the opportunity in it.
She sat inside until the door started creaking and then she entered the bathtub and acted like she was drowning.
She had consciously drunk a few mouthfuls of the bathwater. She only wanted to act unconscious until Benard left.
But who would have thought that she would be so lucky to meet Maxmillian, the youngest doctor of the city who had achieved so much.
She had met him in her past life too when she had been injured by Benard too many times. He had offered her help but she knew. If she would go against Benard, her child would be hurt in the process.
And she did not want to take the risk. Willingly, she had sacrificed her life for her child. At that time, Max had told her about the NGO he was working for and the MD of the hospital he was working in.
