Emily Parker stood at the entrance of the hospital, with people bustling around her and the cacophony of voices and car horns intertwined, while her mind was a tangled web of thoughts and emotions.
Her mind was still echoing with the argument she had not long ago with Carlos, with those hurtful words still ringing in her ears, filling her heart with bitterness and pain.
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded in her ear, startling her and causing her to shiver.
She hurriedly looked up, her gaze meeting a pair of deep ocean blue eyes.
Emily Parker’s mouth slightly agape, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained some composure.
As she focused her vision, she clearly saw the person she had bumped into was indeed William from the X Institute.
William looked at Emily Parker, his expression a mix of amusement and exasperation as he helplessly shook his head and said,
"Doctor, what on earth are you up to? You don’t answer my calls, nor do you reply to my messages.
Capital Medical College has contacted me several times now, asking when you will start enrolling students?
You really had me worried."
Who would have thought that the seemingly ordinary young woman before them was actually the renowned Dr. X in the international medical community.
Ever since a few years ago, when he was saved by Dr. X during a life-threatening situation, William has been utterly devoted to being her little admirer, listening to her every word and willing to brave any danger at her command without complaint.
"There are too many people and too much noise here, it’s hard to explain everything right now."
Emily Parker was vigilant, carefully glancing around with a hint of loneliness in her eyes. Behind her, Carlos never caught up, which stirred an unspeakable sadness in her heart.
William saw her forlorn look completely.
William exaggeratedly exclaimed and waved his hands in the air,
"Doctor, you seem really sad.
Did you really break up?
Damn it, that person named Liu actually dared to deceive your feelings. I’ll get a hitman right now and have him killed."
As he spoke, he clenched his fist tightly, looking indignant.
China is a society governed by law.
Let’s go inside first."
As she watched William’s exaggerated expressions and words, Emily Parker couldn’t help but find it amusing and frustrating. She knew William was sincerely taking her side, but she was afraid that his loud voice and extreme actions might draw more unnecessary attention, so she pulled him along towards the hospital.
Just as Emily Parker was about to enter the hospital, she suddenly heard a faint "click" sound, and instinctively she quickly looked around in the distance.
The street was bustling with cars and people, and she didn’t notice anything unusual.
"I’m probably overthinking it."
Emily Parker shook her head quietly, thinking maybe she was just too tense in the past few days, a bit jumpy, then walked into the hospital with William.
Meanwhile, in a taxi not far away, Sophie Parker was sitting in the back seat, staring intently through the car window at Emily Parker and William.
Her face was frighteningly sullen, her teeth gritting audibly, as if she was gnashing them.
"I knew it, there must be something strange going on here. So it was Emily Parker’s doing, after all?"
She had just received news that the X Institute was going to collaborate with Eastern Hospital, which was completely different from the developments she’d dreamed about. Thɪs chapter is updated by novel fire.net
Puzzled, she was unsure where things had gone wrong, so she discreetly followed Mr. William to find out.
Unexpectedly, seeing Emily Parker together with William made it all clear to her in an instant.
