Zane's POV ~
The moment the female doctor guided me into the lab, I quietly asked her not to proceed with the examination. My voice was calm, but inside my chest my heart thudded like a drum.
I couldn't explain it, but a part of me kept whispering that I shouldn't be tested here. The unease had deepened when I realized this particular pharmacy wasn't just a random place....it belonged to Alfie.
It was supposed to be a secret test. One that only I should have access to. One where the results were mine alone to know.
It's not that I don't trust Alfie… or maybe I should admit the truth....I don't trust anyone anymore. When it comes to matters concerning my health, trust feels like a luxury I cannot afford. The fact that this place belonged to him only confirmed it for me. I'll just go somewhere else, somewhere far from his reach, and run the test myself.
