Fell in Love With You in the Wrong Time novel Chapter 328

“You're awake.” Samuel’s voice came from the doorway.

Gizem stilled before her gaze flew in his direction. “Yeah.”

He strode in with an inscrutable expression. “Thank you for saving Desi and Madeline.”

“Don't mention it. It’s what I should do,” she returned.

The intensity of his stare made her uneasy. She asked, “Are they hurt?” “No,” he replied flatly.

“Glad to hear that.” She breathed a sigh of relief. “Oh, right, what about the guys? Did you find out who sent them?”

“The police are still interrogating them.” His stare never wavered from her, sending the hairs on her neck stand on end.

“Do you have a question for me, Mr. Macari?” she asked uneasily.

Samuel pulled out his phone and placed it in front of her. “This was taken in a casino in Lusterg about a week ago. Can you explain it?”

Gizem lowered her head to look at the photo. It was Lauren impersonating her and getting caught on camera. I knew this would happen.

“That woman isn't me, Mr. Macari. She looks like me because I have plain features,” she clarified.

“Don't you think your explanation is a little far-fetched?” His expression remained emotionless.

“Since that's what you think, Mr. Macari, there's nothing more I can say,” she said.

“I guess we'll have to do this the hard way.” His finger glided across the phone screen. “Take a look at these photos. They were the same person taken at the same time in different places, and they all work for Windwell Corporation.”

She wrung her hands. “I don't know anything about that.”

“If I find out you're associated with that corporation, you're doomed.” His expression turned flinty.

Gizem could sense his wrath lining the words, and she felt an inexplicable pressure building in her chest.

“Mr. Macari, even if I was associated with that corporation, I would never do you or Desi any harm. I’m a doctor,” she shot back.

“Do I need to list out every heinous act they have committed to you?” Samuel snorted.

Of course she was aware of what Windwell Corporation was capable of, but she wasn't the kingpin and didn't know the ins and outs.

She only knew to keep her head down and mind her own business.

He pocketed the phone and turned on his heels. “I'll never forget how you saved Desi. And I'll forever thank you for that.” Then, he left with long strides, his expression grim.

Gizem felt as if the ground had fallen away beneath her. How dare he accuse me like that ? I've never harmed anyone.

Someone entered the room at that moment, and she glanced sideways at the door.

It was Gemma.

“You're awake, Dr. Zabinski.” Joy laced her tone as she spoke.

“Yeah.” Gizem nodded.

Gemma stepped further into the room. “Though you didn't break any bones, you're still severely injured. You might be unable to perform surgeries if we don't treat your hand properly.”

“I know.” She knew a thing or two about her own injury.

“Would you like to contact your family members and tell them about your condition, Dr. Zabinski?” Gemma asked.

“I don't have any,” she answered.

No family?

“Are you an orphan?” Gemma asked, to which Gizem nodded.

“What about your friends?” Gemma sounded sympathetic.

Friends? No, I don't think so. Gizem gave it a thought.She didn't get along with her coworkers. They all treated her as though she were an alien.

“I don't have any either,” she replied monotonously.

Gemma was frazzled. “I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked.”

“It's all right.” Gizem shook her head lightly.

Levi entered the room with a huge bouquet as soon as she finished speaking.

“Hey, babe.” He was his usual annoying self.

“Cut it out.” Gizem rubbed her temples.

Gemma observed their exchange and took the hint.

“Well, I won't interrupt you both.” She left with a smile.

“I left you alone for a few days, and you managed to injure yourself. You should take better care of yourself.” He placed the flowers in Gizem's arms.
