Feeling slightly aggrieved, Leia glared at the man who got angry out of the blue. “I got an allergic reaction instead of you. Why
did you roar at me? If I wasn’t afraid that you would be embarrassed, would I have eaten so many prawns and crabs? How
ungrateful of you!”
“You...”
Xavier’s anger soon subsided. Feeling guiltier, he lowered his head more and whispered to her, “Why were you so silly? I thought
you liked eating them, so I kept on peeling them for you...”
“You’re the silly one, not me!”
Leia rolled her eyes at him and complained grumpily, “You didn’t have to peel them for me even if I liked eating them. I’m nobody
to you. Why did you exhaust yourself so?”
Xavier heaved a long sigh and shook his head. “Yes, I’m silly. I’m the silliest person in the world... You’re the smartest. There’s
nothing you don’t know.”
When William witnessed their ambiguous interactions, he felt rather sad.
“Leia, your allergic reaction needs to be handled right away. Follow me.”
He bypassed Xavier and held Leia’s hand before he said in worry.
“Can we get another doctor?”
Annoyance engulfed Xavier as he glared at the hand on Leia’s arm with his beautiful eyes. He yearned to chop that hand off.
“Doctor Jones has one of the best medical skills in the field. It’s better to leave the patient in his care, given her condition, as to
prevent a relapse,” The laboratory doctor suggested sincerely.
“Humph! Can he get handsy with the patient if his medical skills are good? Is this a hospital or a brothel?”
“Excuse me, Sir, but why say such nasty things? Stop being rude to Doctor Jones or we will refuse to treat the patient.”
“Did I say the wrong thing? He’s a doctor but has no medical ethics. Why did he hold the so patient’s hand so casually?”
Hence, William had no choice but to let go of Renee’s hand quickly.
He nudged his glasses and looked at Xavier with a faint smile. “I’m sorry. I acted impulsively because my relationship with the
patient is a bit special. I’ll be more careful.
“But I think the patient should be the one who voice out if I wasn’t being considerate enough. An outsider like you didn’t have to
seek justice for her. What if the patient didn’t feel violated at all?”
Xavier was greatly infuriated.
Unexpectedly, a seemingly refined nerd like William was not such an honest man either. But on the contrary, he was rather crafty
man. Xavier hated such people the most.
“Lei, tell us whether you feel offended and whether you want to get another doctor. Don’t make me look like I’m being
unreasonable here.”
“No, I won’t get another doctor.”
Leia made a straightforward reply before she looked at William and said, “I trust your medical skills. You must cure me. I don’t
want any scars. If not, I can’t get married.”
“Okay, don’t worry. Of course, I’ll do my best for you.”
After that, William led Leia forward like a winner.
“Where are you going? I want to go too!”
Seeing that, Xavier immediately pursued them like a child. He tried to persuade Leia, “There are so many good doctors in this
world. I can get a great number of them with just a call. Why do you want this guy to treat you?
“This guy looks so young. I’m sure he doesn’t have much experience. Be careful of him ruining your face, now that you have it in
his care.”
When he walked to the treatment room door, a nurse stopped him. “The doctor will begin treating the patient. Please wait here.”
“It isn’t surgery. Why can’t I go in? Is your hospital of standard? I’m going to lodge a complaint.”
“I’m sorry, Sir, but you can’t go in. Please don’t disturb the patient’s treatment.”
The nurse still acted responsibly and blocked him outside no matter how he made a clamor.
Sitting on the chair in the treatment room, Leia listened to Xavier’s shameless wails from outside. Consequently, this put hert in a
dilemma and she was very confused.
