Chapter 145

Vincenzo POV

Some things never change. I was in my office, going through files and preparing for the next patient. The door opened, and a woman stepped in, followed by a man who looked like he didn't want to be here.

"Good afternoon," I said, motioning for them to sit. "I'm Dr. Vincenzo. How can I help today?"

"My name is Gloria," the woman said, her voice shaky. "This is my husband, Daniel. We, uh, just came in for some tests."

I nodded, looking at their files. "Alright, I see the test results are in. Let's go over them."

She sat up a little straighter, her hands folded tightly in her lap. "Is something wrong?"

I took a deep breath, keeping my tone calm. "Gloria, one of the tests shows you have an infection—it's a sexually transmitted infection."
