So, Alex could only find a way to walk over. There wasnât anything wrong with it anyway.
While walking, he suddenly heard a woman scream.
He turned and saw a woman crouching across the road, her head bent down with her long hair
covering her face. She was wearing a plaid dress with slender and curvy legs tucked under her skirt.
Based on her proportions, she didnât seem that short.
It appeared that her high heel was stuck in the gap of a manhole cover.
Alex was in a good mood to do good deeds, so he walked over and asked, âDo you need help?â
The woman didnât raise her head, occupied with covering her ankle with her hand. She sounded like
she was crying as she said, âMy heel is stuck, could you help me get them out?â
âSure. Your leg seems to be twisted, so you should take off your shoe first.â
âYeah, it hurts.â
The woman glanced at Alex, but Alex had already knelt down and lowered his head, so she couldnât
see his face properly.
Alex helped her unbuckle the straps of the heels before she pulled her feet out with one hand on Alexâs
back as support.
Alex held the shoe, then exerted a little force to pull it out.
Crack!
The shoe came free, but the heel was still stuck in the manhole cover. The heel of the shoe had broken
off.
âOh my gosh, is this shoe made of paper? The quality is so bad!â
Alex was dumbfounded.
The woman was also dumbfounded. How was she going to wear this?
The two looked at each other, and were shocked in the next second.
âItâs you?!â
âYou?!â
They both said at the same time.
The woman turned out to be the female doctor that had tried to save Susan before, and also the one
who later had her fill of cursing and scolding Alex. The female doctorâs expression turned stiff and she
snorted coldly.
âSo, itâs you. What are you doing here? Were you stalking me?â
âWhat? Stalking you?â Alex was annoyed to the point his nose was going to be crooked. âIs there
something wrong with you? Whatâs so good about you that I would stalk you? â
âOh, I know who you are. Youâre the resident doctor who just started today, arenât you? On the first day
you joined, you just wanted to show off your abilities. I know people like you the best someone who
bites off more than they can chew. Before you even learn how to walk, you want to run. Hmph, the
hospital is not a school, and the patient is not some simulation doll. If you make a mistake, itâs life or
death. Luck wonât always be there.â The female doctor spoke arrogantly and proudly, as though she
was talking to a junior. âDonât even think of finding any opportunities to get closer to me in the future.
Iâm not interested in an intern like you. I wonât even give you a good rating because of a small favor like
this.â
Alex was completely speechless.
This female doctor really had placed herself on the pedestal, she thought so highly of herself.
âI already said that I wasnât stalking you. And Iâm not a subordinate of yours.â
âHmph! You still want to bicker over this? This path leads to the south gate of the hospital, but itâs
closed due to construction. Only a few people have their keys to enter and leave from this side. So,
may I ask why you are here? To hit a wall?â
âWhat?! Iâ¦â
âI? What? To explain is just to cover up, and to cover up means that what I said was the truth.â
âIâm too lazy to bother with a self righteous woman like you!â
Alex was initially kind enough to offer his help, but he got this in return instead. So he turned around to
leave in a huff.
She really was the goddess of narcissism, if there was one.
âHey, my shoe.â The woman called out from the back.
Alex realized that he was still holding her stinking shoe in his hand, and immediately tossed it away.
The shoe flew and landed into a big tree nearby.
âAh, my shoe! You bastard!â
