At the hospital.
Being well acquainted with the way to Zetaâs office, Stella was there in no time.
Zeta was still in her casual clothes, having no time to get changed into her doctorâs robe. âI was supposed to only report to work tomorrow, but I guess itâs just as well that Iâm here. I could tidy my documents.â
âIâm sorry for interrupting your plans.â
Stella sat before her, âI had to bother you for my medicine the moment you returned.â
âItâs fine,â
Zeta was still very concerned about Stellaâs situation.â Are you and your boyfriend⦠still not on the same page?â
Stella paused for a moment before nodding, Zeta sighed. âWhy donât you let your boyfriend get himself checked out? Itâs unsustainable, him having such a high sex drive.â
Stellaâs brows furrowed, and she asked doubtfully, âIs that a problem that warrants a doctorâs visit?â
What kind of solution was there, anyway?
She had only heard of men seeing the doctor for erectile dysfunction. Zeta thought about it and asked her, âDoes he demand sex very frequently, or does each sex session last very long?â
Stella remained silent.
Her lack of response elicited a chuckle from Zeta. âDonât be stressed. These are very normal inquiries that a doctor would ask. Everyoneâs physical constitution is different; some have higher sex drives than others. However, if itâs not that he demands sex very frequently but rather, each session lasts a very long time, it might be another condition altogether.â
âThatâs a health issue too?â
Stella was very unfamiliar with all these. âHeâ¦demands sex very frequently, and our sessions⦠lasts way too long as well.â
Zeta nodded. âThere is a possibility that he might suffer from delayed ejaculation, although Iâm not 100% certain. My suggestion is for him to get a full-body check-up. Itâll be detrimental to your health to keep taking this medicine over the long-term.â She teased, âWhat affinity the two of you share-one cold, and the other, demanding. To think that both of you would encounter a chance so rare.â
Stella chuckled. âDo prepare my medicine for me, please.â
âSure.â
Zeta stood up. âLet me grab a sip of water first.â
She went to another room to retrieve the medicine as Stella stood where she was, waiting for her.
A while later, someone opened the door to Zetaâs office.
A familiar figure walked in. âZeta?â
Stella was stunned for a moment, shocked to see Xavier in Zetaâs office.
Xavier furrowed his brows, confused at seeing Stella instead of Zeta in the room. âWhat are you doing here?â
Stella retracted her gaze and didnât respond to his question directly. âYouâre here for Dr. Taylor, I suppose?â
Xavier immediately looked uneasy, âYes.â
He was here for Zeta indeed, but he had other motives.
He didnât expect to see Ella here, and he felt a surge of annoyance at that instant.
âThere are so many doctors in this hospital. Why did you approach Zeta?â he suddenly asked her in an inquisitory tone.
Ultimately, Xavier looked down upon Ella.
Whatever it was, the Ford family would never allow Ella to be with Weston.
For people like them, women like Stella were merely playthings.
And since they were just playthings, there was no need to get serious with them.
He wasnât willing to be too involved with someone like Zeta, either.
Stella could clearly sense what he meant by his words, and she replied expressionlessly, âDr. Taylor doesnât have rules that prohibit me from meeting her as a patient. Youâre also in no position to say anything.â
Xavierâs face changed as his eyes narrowed dangerously at her. âIt seems Weston calling off his engagement with Guinevere has given you the guts to talk back at me now, huh?â
