"Where have you been?" Joelle asked as he entered his clinic. "Someone came by looking for you—-"
"Forget about her," he said curtly.
His cousin blinked at him in surprise. "Really? I rather thought you'd want to talk to her, since her sister is a friend of Nik Alexandropoulos."
Adam's gaze whipped back to his cousin. "What the hell does Nik have to do with her?"
Joelle checked her files to make sure she got the names right. "The patient's name is Iolanthe Raptis, and the one who came by is her sister Leah."
Adam suddenly remembered his last conversation with Nik.
It will be her younger sister who's scheduled to meet with you...
Leah, that's Io's sister, seems under stress lately...
Adam ran out of his clinic, but he was too late.
She was gone.
