Chapter 125 : If This Was the Last Night Pt. 1

“Heather, you’re going to be missed!” Piper gave me a tight hug. It was my last day working at the Hill’s Clinic.

“I’ll miss you too, Piper.” I hugged her back. “Thanks for everything, and sorry that I kinda bailed on you and your brother. It’s just—”

Piper shook her head. “No, not at all! I totally understand that you want to focus on getting your place ready for the baby. Your due day is less than two months away, and you’ve got to do what’s best for you and your family.”

Victor came around the corner, joining us in our goodbyes. “Piper, why don’t you close down the clinic? I’ll walk Heather out.”

“Yes, sir!” Piper playfully saluted her brother and left us.

“Victor, please, there’s no need,” I argued, shaking my head.

“Actually, there is, Heather. You’ve helped out so much and with it being so close to your due date, I want to make sure you’re safe as long as you’re around. It is sort of my responsibility as your doctor.”

“Well, in that case, thanks a lot.”

He walked me toward my new home. As much as I didn’t want to take up any more of his time, as a pregnant woman, I was a lot safer with a former elite warrior walking me home.

It was almost dinner time now, and the sun was getting ready to set. Still, the streets seemed busier than ever with everyone heading home after a long day at work.

“Heather…”

I paused and glanced at Victor. “Yes?”

“Did you resign because of what I said a few weeks ago?” he looked at me with deep concern.

I took a half-step back. “No. Victor, no. That’s not the reason at all. It’s just time for me to move on.”

Victor sighed and nodded. I could see the relief on his face.

“Well, in that case… you know you’re always welcome back. Any time. Even after you have the baby. You’re family, alright?”

“Thank you, Victor. That means a lot.” I nodded to him.

“Hopefully, Heather, our paths will cross again.” Victor grinned at me.

“I hope so, too,” I said honestly. Piper and Victor had taken good care of me. I wished that life would treat them well. “You know, you don’t need to walk me all the way back. This is far enough. My new neighborhood is very nice and safe.”

“Are you sure?”

“One hundred percent!” Smiling, I stepped closer and gave him a friendly hug. “May the Goddess Bless you, Victor. You take care, too.”

Victor nodded as I released him. I left him on the sidewalk as I headed home.

About a month ago, we moved to a much nicer neighborhood. We even got ourselves a cottage for more space. A small one-bedroom apartment wasn’t big enough for Soren’s recovery, nor would it be enough for a baby.
