There had to be a reason why the Doctor threatened to involve the police despite the patient-doctor relationship.
There also had to be a reason Jane gazed upon him with an aura of familiarity but Kyle knew he couldn’t ask these questions now.
This was why he excused himself to find the doctor, he didn’t say much but after a short discussion.
Kyle asked him for a final grace and that he would call the police himself should something like this repeat itself. Of course, he sweetened the deal with a substantial amount transferred into the doctor’s bank account.
If doctors reported every drug abuse incident to the police, there would be no celebrities left on the streets telling Kyle that there was more to this than meets the eye.
However, they didn’t need to worry about that as Kyle handled it.
He returned to the room and gave the ladies a thumbs-up to confirm that he had it handled.
“Thank you so much!” Jane exclaimed.
“It was nothing… ” Kyle responded but Ella was ashamed to look him in the eyes.
She felt like she had disappointed him in some sense but Kyle’s eyes conveyed anything but disappointment.
“Ella, I don’t want to come here again. Will you make me revisit a hospital because of you?” Kyle asked sternly. Jane was surprised by his tone, looking at Ella from the corner of her eyes.
“No, you won’t. I’m sorry for bothering you all,” Ella said.
“Bother? Is that what you think this is?” Kyle requested with a raised brow.
He sounded like a father scolding his child because something told Kyle that Ella didn’t have that growing up.
“I don’t know what’s going on but if you’re ever in trouble or need help. You can always find me before pumping your system full of drugs, think of drugs as your last resort. Can you do that?” Kyle looked her right in the eyes when he said these things because he knew that these things wouldn’t just affect Ella, they would affect Jane as well.
Kyle knew asking her to stop completely would be delusional because addiction was never stopped that easily but putting himself into the equation gave him a degree of control.
Because the next time she needed a fix; it was Kyle she would call first.
That beats asking her to stop it altogether.
Kyle didn’t know how Jane would react to this, looking at her quickly but she was already staring at him.
“The eyes chico, they never lie,” Kyle remembered this movie quote because Jane’s eyes were lost in his.
He was relieved she was fine with this alongside Ella agreeing to Kyle’s proposal.
“Hey, you…” Kyle called out, snapping Jane back to reality.
“Hi…” Jane responded with a goofy smile.
” Are you alright?” Kyle asked to which Jane nodded her head.
” I’m alright now thanks to you,” She thought.
Kyle came and not only de-escalated the situation but also gave Ella a light scolding.
” Ella, I want you to give this lady a call,” Kyle said, handing her a card.
It was a talent agency that mainly dealt with movie roles but Kyle saw this as an opportunity to expand into other categories, including music.
Ella’s face lit up the moment Kyle handed her that card because it felt like he gave her a lifeline.
“I will be on my way, ladies,” Kyle said. Before leaving, he kissed Jane right on her forehead.
Jane didn’t know what she felt could be this deep, she had had crushes before and liked others as well but this felt different.
Of course, it felt different, Jane had fallen in love with Kyle.

Kyle left the hospital and heaved a sigh of relief, he didn’t know it could be this stressful but who would have guessed that Ella had a drug problem?
Kyle didn’t know why he told her to call him first because that would simply place more responsibility on his shoulders.
Responsibility he might not have time for but either way, it should be sufficient as a temporary fix.
Kyle regretted not taking his car because he had to order an Uber or take another cab.
He had done enough for today and knew it was time to wrap it up.
Kyle’s bank balance kept reducing but Kyle was in no hurry. It was impossible for him to go broke with this system and he was so close to upgrading his system.
He also had a date with the married woman but he wasn’t sure she was going to go through with it.
Kyle noticed a pattern, this was the same thing he felt with Aiysha.
When a younger guy finds an older woman attractive, it not only boosts the ego of those women but reminds them of a time long in the past.
Who wouldn’t want to be young again?
Even though Aiysha was a different case age only made her sexier so she never stopped receiving attention. If anything, she only received more.
Cassandra on the other hand was different.
And Kyle was going to test how different she was.
He opened his Uber app and one arrived within a minute as the hospital was a hotspot.
Kyle finally called it a day as he returned home.

Calista celebrated her victory, she was so happy but little did she know that this role wasn’t given to her because of her talent but because of Kyle’s growing influence.
Ignorance is bliss and that was true in this situation but it was unlikely that the truth would make any difference to Calista.
But Calista wondered what the dynamic between her and Lucas would be like now.
Would he pretend like nothing happened or would he try again? He couldn’t try again if she didn’t put herself in the position to do that.
Calista had no intentions of doing that because the official shooting starts next week but she was given a script to rehearse for her role as Rachel.
And respond accordingly, thank you
