Chapter 177: Let’s Talk

Reese pursed her lips, reading the note on the bouquet sent to her at work. The flowers came from Sean, and the message read: [I can’t believe you are so busy. What about my therapy too? :-(I miss you, Reese. I hope you will come with Shauna this weekend to the mansion. I’ll have a guest room ready for you. I have something important to talk to you about.]

’What did he want to talk about?’ She wondered silently as she stood by the hospital receiving area.

Weeks had passed since Reese decided to focus on work. She avoided going with Shauna on her time with Sean and made herself busy.

Since Shauna had a driver to bring her to school and Sean practically provided for them, Reese decided to take permanent work at the children’s hospital while still accepting private patients.

It was last Friday when Reese last saw Sean. He came to the condo to fetch Shauna for their weekend overnight stay. In the days that followed, Sean had left for Lockwood with Evan, which gave her more time for herself.

Sean and Evan returned to Rose Hills the other day, where she had therapy with a new patient. So, they didn’t see each other last night either. She thought it probably triggered the flowers.

In the previous weeks, Sean waited for her at the condo every night, and they still chatted. They were still friends. That part had not changed, but she did not want to be in a situation where her feelings for him would grow, and she would expect more from him.

There was that safe distance between them where she had drawn the line. Often, she dodged Sean’s hold and set the time for when he would leave. On top of that, she minimized replying to Sean’s texts or calls, only answering essential questions relevant to their daughter.

In response to the flowers he sent, Reese sent him a text, saying: [Thank you for the flowers. You didn’t have to.]

For the rest of her day at work, Reese helped gather the children on the isolation floor, where a special guest gave them an inspirational talk. To her surprise, the special guest was a famous athlete, and professional sprinter, Oscar Bennett.

The athlete had one knee amputated due to childhood cancer found on his knee. Reese remembered this because Oscar’s family lived in the same neighborhood as her when she was in high school. At that time, he was a big inspiration to Rose Hills for getting into sports despite having a prosthetic leg.

Along with the kids at Rose Hills Children’s Hospital, Reese enjoyed the moving talk the athlete gave. He also taught the kids the basics of running sprints.

It was already six in the evening when the event ended. Then the athlete treated the kids to a specially made dinner.
