Chapter 15 Like all companies during year end , Eve Medical was frantically busy . Even Emma , just a receptionist , saw her visitor traffic double . After two weeks on the job , none of her and Marcuss fears had materialized . Though her feet ached from standing , it was easier than her previous position . Her fellow receptionist laughed at Emmas initial concerns . You were worried about that ? Do you know how many wealthy women want to marry Mr. Hernandez ? Id be thrilled if he noticed me ! Emma smiled sheepishly , realizing how absurd her fears had been . Issac barely glanced at reception , only calling down when he needed help bringing up takeout . Shed been curious what a CEO would order , but his portions were depressingly small less than what the dieting receptionists ate . Some days he didnt eat at all . Passing reception , Issac noticed the girls whispering and showed a rare smile , his eyes softening . That moment reminded him of Evelyn and Sophia , huddled together like playful creatures during their college days a scene hed give anything to return to . But he couldnt . There was no undoing the past . Today he had a hospital meeting , so he wore a formal suit . Though the cold raised goosebumps on his neck and arms , he didnt turn on the cars heat . He remembered Evelyn standing in the winter cold , thinly dressed , cruelly shut out by him . This was his self imposed punishment . The Deputy Director came to greet him . Theyd worked together when Issac was still at Hernandez Industries , but now the man looked uncomfortable . Issac , its not that we dont want to collaborate on the new drug development , but your father … Is that from the Director ? Issac stood straight , his shoulders damp from melting snow . Its fine . Ill wait here while you ask if hell see me . Ah , the Deputy sighed . Youre a good kid . How did things get so bad with your family ? Seeing Issac dripping with snow , he relented and called the Directors office . Wait here . Hes busy right 19:29 Its Too Late for Your Expired Regrets 10.4 % Chapter 15 now . Issac nodded . He stood straight outside the office , his shoes soaked from snow , yet rigid as a pine tree . The Deputy returned to his own work . Then a small figure bumped into his leg . Issac looked down to see a little head with strawberry hair ties . The girl rubbed her forehead , not crying , and looked up at him . Lucass child ? He knew Lucas had worked at this hospital , but why would he bring a child here ? Where was Lucas ? His heart flooded with questions , but the priority was getting the little girl back to safety . Issac crouched down . The girl watched him warily , stepping back when he reached out . She wrinkled her nose . Youre the bad man Uncle warned me about . Why are you here alone ? Issac ignored the childish accusation , concerned about her being lost . He noticed the name tag on her chest . Your name is Eva ? No , not Ev- the little girl said loudly . Evelyn is Mommys name . Im Eva ! With an a ! His heart felt like it had been struck by lightning , stealing his breath . Issac grabbed Evas small arm urgently . Whats your mothers name ?! Evelyn , Evas eyes widened , growing frightened . Mister , youre hurting me … Let her go ! In a blur , Lucas shoved Issac away , scooping up Eva . He glared at Issac on the floor . What do you think youre doing ?! Issac ignored his disheveled state , stepping forward like a man possessed , looking at Eva with desperate hope . Tell me , whats your mothers name ? Eva , barely four and a half , burst into tears , clinging to Lucass neck and turning away . When Issac tried to move closer , Lucass fist connected with his face . 19:29 Its Too Late for Your Expired Regrets ! 10.6 % Chapter 15 Get away ! he shouted at Issac sprawled on the ground , like a lion protecting his family .
