Chapter 2 You're Just My Patient
Chapter 2 You're Just My Patient
William raised his head and coldly flung away his grip on her wrist. His gaze swept across Emma's
face, and his voice was frighteningly cold.
"Do you know how much I don't want to see your face?"
This face… the one he can't escape from in his dreams, was now standing right in front of him!
Emma's body trembled at his words.
She looked into the pair of cold and disgusted eyes. Her throat suddenly became dry, and even
breathing became difficult.
William Montgomery hated her, but she already knew that.
She didn't want William to see how affected she was by his presence, so she pretended to be calm and
averted her gaze. She saw that the back of his hand was still bleeding. Emma turned around to get the
medical tape while trying to find her voice.
"You are just my patient."
Emma had started to reach out her hand to redo the IV, but William's cold and disgusted voice sounded
in her ear.
"Get the hell out of my face!"
Her hand froze mid air and something in her eyes flickered. She gave a small shrug and withdrew her
hand. "Sure. I'll go grab a nurse then."
"Don't make me repeat myself." William's voice was practically dripping ice.
William made Emma feel like simply being in her presence disgusted him.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
The ache in her heart returned. She responded with a quick nod. "Alright, well… if you have any
problems, press the button beside your bed."
His only reply was silence.
The man lying on the bed pursed his lips into a thin line. Emma didn’t say another word.
Emma Lang no longer wanted to humiliate herself. She quickly gathered her stuff and turned to escape
from the suffocating room.
But just as Emma was about to head out, the door suddenly flung open from outside, and at the same
time, a familiar voice sounded, "William baby how are you—"
Emma Lang followed the sound and looked up to see Jennifer West in a Vera Wang wedding dress
appearing at the door.
The moment Jennifer caught sight of Emma, her red lips froze.
Jennifer was in the changing room to try her wedding dress. The shop assistant had told her that
William had fainted. She had rushed to the hospital without changing out of the dress. She never
imagined that she would see Emma here. When did Emma even come back to Rock City?
Not to mention, she was William's doctor!
Jennifer couldn't help but tighten her hand into a fist, but she quickly smiled and asked, "Emma? You…
When did you come back?”
"A week ago," Emma answered curtly and honestly.
A week ago, she was assigned to Saint Mary Hospital by the overseas headquarters. She never
imagined that they would meet in such a way.
Emma tried to not stare at Jennifer, but her heart was pierced by Jennifer's wedding dress. Emma's
face turned slightly red when she caught herself staring.
She put her hand back into her pocket and stepped aside to let Jennifer in.
Jennifer was only stunned for a moment, she looked at William's indifferent face and understood that
this was all just a coincidence and felt relieved.
Jennifer pretended as if nothing was out of the ordinary and rushed over to where William was resting.
She sat down by the bed and said in a gentle voice, "William baby, do we know why you fainted? You
scared me half to death.”
Emma leaned sideways and tried her best to suppress her rupturing emotions.
Fake it till you make it, Emma. She cleared her throat, "Mr. Montgomery fainted due to acute gastritis.
In the future, please pay attention to his diet. Less greasy food and make sure to have three meals a
day.
"Also," she paused and considered stopping there, but she couldn't help but add, "Drinking on an
empty stomach could be a cause of this illness."
William's dark eyes narrowed, and his jaw tightened as he glared at her.
Drinking on an empty stomach? She clearly remembered his habits well!
