00:00Hello?
00:01Zoe!
00:02Thank God you called back!
00:03Linda, what's going on?
00:04Is something wrong?
00:05Did something happen?
00:06It's Ziva.
00:07She fell down the stairs and almost killed herself.
00:08What?
00:09It's your sister, Zoe.
00:10She fell in love with a brain surgeon that works at St. Mary's Hospital, but he always
00:19ignores her, so she wanted to get admitted to the hospital so he wouldn't have to pay
00:24attention to her.
00:25Okay, I'll be right there.
00:26Where you at?
00:27St. Mary's.
00:28Ziva, you better start explaining yourself.
00:29If you didn't already have a broken leg, I'd break it myself.
00:32No, it couldn't have been him.
00:35Why would he be here in Phoenix?
00:36He lived in Scottsdale.
00:38No, this was just her mind playing tricks on her because she'd been thinking about Blaine
00:42after what Luna said last night.
00:44She needed to get a hold of herself.
00:46Any discomfort?
00:47Nausea?
00:48Dizziness?
00:49Hi, sis.
00:50Oh, Zoe, come in.
00:51Blaine stiffened when he heard Zoe's voice.
00:52He seemed stunned for a second.
00:54Blaine's eyes looked dark, but she knew they shifted with his mood from various shades
01:03of grey to almost black.
01:05You're Ziva's sister?
01:07Yes, I'm her older sister.
01:09Her heart was beating wildly.
01:12She had thought that she would never be looking into his eyes again.
01:15Zoe was sure her face reflected her emotional upheaval.
01:18Blaine seemed remarkably calm by comparison.
01:21His eyes had only let his shock show for a moment.
01:24Zoe, this is Dr. Blaine Dexter.
01:27It had been four years.
01:29Perhaps he saw her as barely more than a distant memory, now a stranger from his past.
01:34No, stop.
01:35Please, don't hurt me.
01:36I'm pregnant.
01:37Please, just don't hurt my baby.
01:38You fool.
01:39That's exactly what I'll do.
01:44As the woman steps into the light, Zoe recognizes her, Zoe's future mother-in-law and future
01:50grandmother of her child.
01:52Not understanding why she was doing this, tears well up in Zoe's eyes, infuriating
01:57the old woman more.
01:58That monstrosity inside you will never be a part of my family.
02:04You're a disgrace to nobody.
02:08My son should be ashamed of knocking up a girl like you.
02:13What?
02:14Our family's respectable.
02:15We have an image to upkeep.
02:17I can't have my son running around with some hooker.
02:21If that means I need to dispose of your son myself, so be it.
02:29But he's your grandson.
02:31How can you do such a thing?
02:34He's not my grandson.
02:37It's a rotten parasite that will ruin our family name.
02:44It has to go.
02:47It's not enough.
02:49It has to go.
02:50The woman's eyes darkened as she stabbed Zoe in the stomach.
02:55Why?
03:03It felt like she'd lost him all over again.
03:06Although she knew this was foolish thinking.
03:09She'd lost him four years ago and there was no going back.
03:12Zoe wiped her eyes and straightened.
03:15She began to walk towards Max's room.
03:18After today, Zoe would never have to see Blaine again.
03:36And, scent.
03:38Five o'clock squinting time.
03:42You finished for today?
03:44I was just putting the finishing touches on this design, but I'm done.
03:48I'd ask you to have the hour, but I'm sure you're off to see your son.
03:52I am.
03:53It's okay.
03:54I get it.
03:55Your date is much cuter than anyone I'll see at the bar.
03:58That he is.
03:59I'll see you tomorrow court.
04:03Zoe quickly walked towards the exit of Taylor Interiors.
04:08This was the best part of her day.
04:10She wanted to get to the hospital to spend as much time with her son as possible before visiting hours ended.
04:15Being a single mother was hard enough and to add to the hardship, Zoe's son had leukemia.
04:23Zoe walked down the hall of St. Mary's Hospital with a teddy bear and headed straight to room 1023.
04:29She pushed open the hospital room's door with a huge smile, only for her face to immediately fall.
04:35The room was empty.
04:37There was no sign of Zoe's son.
04:39She immediately became anxious.
04:41Have you seen the patient in this room?
04:43I'm sorry, I'm just an intern nurse.
04:45I just started here.
04:46I don't know your son.
04:47I'll ask the charge nurse.
04:58If you give me candy, my teeth will fall out.
05:01And if I don't have any teeth, I'll have a girlfriend as pretty as you.
05:08It's okay. I'll marry you if you don't have a girlfriend when you're my age.
05:12Zoe let out a breath she didn't know she'd been holding when she saw a young child wearing the tiniest hospital gown walking back towards her down the hall.
05:20Now you want to marry the handsome doctor?
05:23No, I only want to marry my favorite patient, Max.
05:27Mommy!
05:30Mommy's out!
05:32Thank you, Luna, for taking such good care of him.
05:35Because of the hospital's sweet nursing staff, Zoe could go to work and not worry so much about Max.
05:41Of course, he's the best. We love taking good care of him.
05:45That's why I have to thank you all the more.
05:47Is it just you and the intern on duty today? Where are the other nurses on this floor?
05:51Hmm. It's 6.45.
05:54They're all gawking at that new brain surgeon before he goes into the OR.
05:58But I can't blame him. He is gorgeous.
06:05He went in?
06:06Yep, just went into surgery.
06:08Even his voice is sexy.
06:10The other day when I was assisting him, he said hematoma in the brain and I wanted to have his babies.
06:15He is Phoenix's most eligible bachelor.
06:19He was promoted to professor when he came to St. Mary's.
06:23I also heard that his family is loaded and he comes from a lot of political influence.
06:27He just bought a penthouse downtown.
06:29Wow!
06:30Anyways, y'all two, get back to work. Stop daydreaming.
06:33You know that we don't have a chance with a man like that.
06:35You know he only dates women like him.
06:37Gorgeous and from the right kind of family.
06:40We can all dream.
06:42Can't we?
06:46You wanted to see me?
06:48Yes, come in.
06:50I wanted to talk to you about a new client.
06:53So, a new client referred to us that I think would be a perfect fit for your design aesthetic.
07:00The client wants to meet tonight at the Waterford International Hotel.
07:05I know you like to visit your son after work, so if you want to leave a bit early to go and visit Max, that's fine.
07:11Talon was not only the chief designer, but also the owner of Taylor Interiors.
07:15He was a good boss with a warm heart.
07:17That's very thoughtful of you, Talon. Thank you. I'll do that.
07:20After squeezing in a visit with Max, Zoe headed to the Waterford Hotel to meet her new client.
07:26Walking into the restaurant lobby, Zoe was reaching into her bag to pull out the file and call her client when she suddenly stopped dead in her tracks.
07:34Zoe blinked in disbelief at the man casually sitting.
07:37Realizing he hadn't seen her yet, Zoe frantically looked around for a place to hide.
07:42Zoe chanced a glance back in Blaine's direction, only to find him now looking right at her.
07:52The caller wasn't in her contacts, but the phone number that appeared on the screen was one etched in Zoe's memory.
07:58It was Blaine.
08:00He was still using his Scottsdale number, unlike Zoe, who had changed her number as soon as she moved to Phoenix.
08:05So, how did Blaine have her number now?
08:07Hello?
08:08Um, what?
08:10No, no, no, it couldn't be him.
08:14Zoe's stomach sank.
08:16Why, oh why, had she not flipped through the client's information earlier?
08:20Well, if I had planned to talk to somebody over the phone, I wouldn't have called your boss for you to meet me here.
08:25Um, I'm sorry. I'll be right there.
08:31Dr. Dexter, do you have any specific ideas for your home's design?
08:35Do you prefer modern, or a more classical look?
08:43Dr. Dexter?
08:45Yes, I can be your designer.
08:47Oh, okay.
08:49I'm sorry, I don't know how to design.
08:51I don't know how to do it.
08:53I'm sorry, I don't know how to do it.
08:55I don't know how to do it.
08:57I don't know how to do it.
08:59Yes, I can be there.
09:01Can you please prep her for surgery? I'll be there right away.
09:03One of my patients has to go into emergency surgery, so...
09:07I'll cut this short.
09:11And about my renovations, I can reach out to you and we can talk about this further later.
09:18Dr. Dexter, did you have time this week to show me the layout?
09:22I need to see the layout of the rooms and take measurements.
09:25She was trying to sound as calm as possible.
09:28Truthfully, she hadn't wanted to make this call.
09:30She'd have preferred Blaine to contact her,
09:32but she knew Talon would be expecting an update soon,
09:35and she needed to have something to tell her boss.
09:37If it had been any other client, Zoe wouldn't have hesitated to call,
09:41so she'd forced herself to follow up.
09:44I am just about to go into surgery.
09:46The operation should take about three hours.
09:48If you want to meet me at the fountain at the entrance of the hospital at 7pm?
09:52Okay, I think...
09:55Would she go?
09:57And more importantly, what would happen when Blaine arrived?
10:00Would he find out that Max was his son?
10:02Did he know what his mother did to them?
