Chapter 35: Doctor Byron Is Glowing

Byron returned to his office, where Harry was wolfing down some food in his seat.

He snat ched the food away and snapped, “Who gave you the permission?”

Harry had a hash brown in his mouth while he explained, “I’m just giving it a try. You don’t eat fried food anyway.”

Byron squeezed his cheeks to make him spit out the mouthful of food.

“Don’t touch my food.”

“You mother…”

A civilized man hurling profanities.

All day long, the unmarried female nurses treated the fertility department as a “tourist attraction”.

It had been years since they saw such a charming smile on Byron’s face.

Chapter 25 Docter Byron is Glowing

His smile was faint but mesmerizing.

One of the gossipy colleagues stopped Harry in the gents’ and asked, “Where’s Doctor Byron?”

Harry’s cheeks turned numb at the mention of him.

“You can’t pee without him present to supervise, huh?”

“Doctor Byron is beaming. What’s the occasion?”

“He… He won the lottery. He’ll treat all of us to a feast this Friday,” Harry said without thinking much.

Byron returned home at six.

He loosened his collar and went straight to the master bedroom, which was clean and tidy. However, there wasn’t anyone around.

He closed the door and the smell of food wafted into the air.

Candice was making some beef stew in the kitchen.

After having been on shift for 24 hours, he was exhausted.

At this moment, it was raining outside and there was a

woman with an apron in the kitchen.

The apron she was wearing was made of newspaper, which looked rather childlike.

Byron was somewhat a little attracted.

It was an unprecedented scene but it was full of affection that touched his heart.

Candice was stirring some soup with the ladle when he hugged her waist from behind.

“You’re back.”

“What are you cooking?”

“The meal I owe you.”

He laughed out loud and said, “Didn’t you already get me breakfast?”

“I bought that from a store. It’s different from a home cooked meal.”

Byron had never been used to her being difficult to coax. Vicky was never like that. As long as he gave her enough money, she would be extremely nice and compliant.

However, at this juncture, he felt that Candice’s quirks were innocent and pure.

“Is that the only thing you know how to cook?”

“This is what I’m best at.”

She learned how to cook for Rufus’ sake.

Byron picked up smoking and drinking, as well as a promiscuous lifestyle, because of Vicky.

They had both made major lifestyle changes for the sake of their relationships.

“Does this feel like we’re in a relationship?”

“What?” she asked because she hadn’t heard him clearly.

“Do we seem like a pair of lovers now?”

Candice remained silent.

They seemed like it but they weren’t actually a couple.

In fact, she was almost about to say yes last night but he suddenly stopped.

She wanted him to marry her and not let her down.

The commitment she wanted was too pressurizing.

Byron was in such a huge rush that he forgot to clean up.

“Are the nurses and female family members of patients at the hospital still courting you?”

Resting his chin on Candice’s shoulder, he said, “They’ll continue courting me even if I’m married.”

“What do they see in you?

Byron chuckled and asked, “What do you see in me?”

While stirring the stew, she murmured, “You’re a civilized…”

“Sc um.”

“I didn’t say that.”

“You’ll say it sooner or later.”

Candice actually meant to say “gentleman”.

The words “civilized gentleman” did fit Byron well.

While eating, she began to get distracted.

“I’ll go home tomorrow,” she said.

Byron’s hand stopped moving and his face was sullen.

“I’ve been away for too long. My mom won’t believe me,” Candice explained.

“Can’t you stay here?”

What he meant was for her to confess to Miranda that they were living together.

Candice was confident that Miranda would give her the green light since she had such a good impression of Byron.

The thing was, he didn’t give Candice a sense of security.

She hated the feeling of going separate ways again from him shortly after baring her heart and soul to him.

“I won’t be informing her for now since you’re not my prospective husband.”

Byron picked up a piece of meat and suddenly felt a little gloomy. However, he didn’t eat it and placed it on his plate instead.

After taking a shower at night, Candice scrolled through her phone in boredom.

Harry sent a screenshot of a photo of the food she had cooked.

He asked: [Are you two going public?]

She hadn’t posted it on her Whatsapp Moments so it was clearly Byron who did it.

–[Why didn’t you guess that it was Vicky?]

–[A flirtatious beauty like Vicky is meant to be admired, not for household chores.]

She was annoyed by his answer.

–[He has lots of fan girls. Make another guess.]

Harry didn’t agree after taking a glance.

He wanted to blatantly expose their clandestine relationship.

Candice zoomed in to see that she was really in the photo.

The photo was taken at a rather clever angle, with her hands and hair being the only parts that were visible. It seemed that he was deliberately trying to cover up.

However, he was also deliberately trying to make it seem ambiguous and confusing.

–[Is there a caption?]

Harry replied: [No.]

It was simple and concise, very much like Byron’s usual style.

It could also be considered not leaving any evidence behind.

He was strict, restrained, and made sure others didn’t have a hold on him.

would seem that he had a clean dating history and there was no way his wife would argue with him.

–[There’s a secret code when they meet.]

Harry was thrilled. He felt like he was spying on military intelligence.

–[As far as I know, 7236 would mean that he has had a good time with the girl, with 72 ways to have fun and 36 ways to do it.]

Candice exited the app and removed him as a close friend.

After Candice came out of the shower, Byron was sitting on the bed, clad in brand new work attire and exuding a cold

aura.

His eyes were dark and calm, but there was an intense wave of heat within him.

He was hinting at something.

Her legs went limp and she stopped.

Chapter 35 Doctor Hymn Is Glowing

“Are you using this bathroom?” she asked as her legs went limp.

“No.”

“Do you… have to work overtime?”

He was laying languidly at first but at this moment, he straightened his back.

“No.”

Candice walked towards Byron, who reached out and held her in his arms while she straddled him.

“Don’t you have a thing for guys in uniform?”

Candice was shocked to realize that he had seen through her.

“No…”

He continued to expose her further, “You were so turned on at the hospital this morning.”

“Who said so? Don’t accuse me for something you’re guilty of.”

Byron pressed his nose to the side of her neck to take a whiff of her sweet scent.

Her scent wasn’t overwhelming at all. It was sweet and addictive, with a trace of fruity, floral milkiness.

He started kissing her gently and as he continued, the kisses became even more intense.

Candice didn’t feel repulsed and she actually liked it too. However, it would be bad for her emotionally.

Under the disguise of intense romance, laid the strong lust and desires within them.

There was a gap between her and Byron.

It was formed by their past, her insecurities, trauma, and other complicated issues.

It was insurmountable.

It wasn’t that he was too heartless and she was too stubborn.

Despite the impulse to get closer to each other, they were both full of hesitation.

To put it bluntly, Byron did not acknowledge her. With Vicky as the standard, Byron’s feelings for Candice were too mild.

Biting her earlobe, he asked in a ho ar se voice, “Do you want it or not?”

Remaining still in his arms, Candice said, “I’m injured.”

“You haven’t recovered?”

“Yeah.”

“Why are you going home then?”

She had fallen for his trap.

She turned her head to the side while Byron looked up at her.

While they held eye contact, she asked smilingly, “Professor Wilson, you’re pretty good with your words even when it comes to relationships.”

“Well, I can’t be bothered.”

It was true. There were lots of women throwing themselves at him and he didn’t have to stoop low to flirt with them at all.

In the next second, Byron grabbed her hand and held her down.

Candice looked away and didn’t pull back, allowing him to control her.

The man’s desire was aroused and he would not stop until he got what he wanted.

Panting heavily, Byron kissed every inch of the protruding bones on her body.

It was as if he was quietly comforting her for the pain Vicky had inflicted on her.

At this impetuous juncture, it was sinful and seductive.

After a long time, Candice finally proceeded to wash her hands while Byron went in to take a shower.

With his side facing the frosted glass door, his silhouette heaved up and down.

He was powerful, shapely, and vigorous.

It was the first time she had ever seen a man with such a fit and shapely body.

Chapter 15 Doctor Byron Is Clowing

He looked particularly hot when the water droplets flowed down his skin, running over the most intimate parts of his body.

His touch seemed to be burning her.

That night, he slept in the master bedroom.

They didn’t exactly cuddle to sleep and just laid in their own. preferred positions. Sometimes, they would have their backs facing each other.

By the time Candice woke up in the morning, he had already left for work.

He left a note by the bed, which read: “The car is in C9 of the parking lot.”

She went downstairs and found that it was her Mini that he had driven over from the Shelton Building and filled up with

gas.

Well, Byron was considerate for once, and slightly more than necessary.

Even if he didn’t drive it over, she would still have to make a trip to the office building to resolve what she had to.

At 9:30AM, Candice entered the president’s office to discuss her resignation.

Instead of getting dismissed and causing an embarrassing scene, she decided to tender her resignation and leave on her own.

However, the president was unusually enthusiastic and nice to her, so much that he personally poured her some water. Candice felt that there was something fishy about this.

Sure enough, he couldn’t hold back any longer and asked, “Candice, how are you related to Mr. Percy of Fortune Group?”

It turned out that it was because of this.

“We’re just friends.”

Refusing to give up until he got a juicier answer, the president asked, “Boyfriend?”

After finishing the glass of water, Candice said, “I’m not good enough for Mr. Percy.”

Just like women, men had their instincts too.

He could tell from the way Percy reacted during the dinner

Chapter 35 Doctor Byron is Glowing

that there was something going on between the two of them.

At the very least, they should be close to becoming a couple.

“You want to resign? You’ve been hitting your KPIs and doing pretty well lately. I’m considering promoting you to associate director.”

“Patrick…” Candice didn’t say anything further.

She couldn’t stand being picked on by Patrick.

The incident with Rufus had formed an unresolvable feud between her and Patrick.

“Patrick? Why don’t I fire him…” the president said while pacing around the desk.

Staring at Candice, he said, “I’ll transfer Patrick to another department. Which position do you suggest? Back-end office? Housekeeping?”

The president smacked his thigh and exclaimed, “Security! When you come to the office, he can bow and greet you at the door! Wouldn’t that be great?”

Greatly astonished, Candice slowly stood up and said, “Mr.

59763

Nelson… I’ve never had such thoughts.”

“In the future, you must put in a good word for the company when Mr. Percy is around. We’ve offended many big players in the industry. With Fortune Group…’

Candice bowed and opened the door to leave.

Even if she were to get into a relationship with Percy, she wouldn’t mix her personal life with work.

She wasn’t the type to use her relationship with a man to throw her weight around in the workplace.

Besides, it was unlikely for her and Percy to get together.

A sinister voice came from the corridor.

“Candice…”

It was filled with anger.

She turned around, only to be greeted with the sight of Patrick who had his left arm bandaged.

“Where’s the compensation?” he questioned.

Chapter 35 Doctor Byron is Glowing

Byron had come up with the money at first.

If he hadn’t, her relationship with Patrick would definitely continue being strained.

She didn’t want to be indebted to him.

However, Candice wasn’t willing to let Rufus extort her like that.

She took a deep breath and said, “Your injuries aren’t serious at all. You’re asking for $1500 per day of

hospitalization? Is your family getting hospitalized together with you?”

Patrick had a change of expression and he exclaimed, “You think I’m exploiting my injury for money? Your ex-husband is the one who hit me and landed me in this state!”

Candice had never shirked the responsibility but his wife was dead against compromising and refused to let her bargain. She even insisted that Rufus compensate them too. She demanded 80 grand from each of them and if Rufus refused to compensate, Candice would have to pay on his behalf.

After an examination, Samson’s arm had basically already healed without any after-effects. It had been completely restored to the way it was before the fracture.

“Let’s each take a step back. How about 30 grand for compensation? I’ll transfer it to you immediately. As for Rufus, the police will handle him and give you an explanation.”

“Do you think you’re bargaining in the market? 80 grand, not a single cent less,” Patrick said while pointing at the thick bandage around his arm.

His love for her had turned into hatred. From a certain point of view, he let his emotions rule his head.

However, things turned really ugly because he was obsessed with revenge.

Monica went around the partition door and kicked Patrick on his buttocks.

Sensing that something was wrong, he turned around to see. that Monica was standing straight.

“Patrick, do you want some water? You should be parched from all that scolding.”

“What are you doing behind my back?”

“Protecting you. If anyone hates the messed up way you look and throws a chair at you, I’ll protect you.”

Chapter 23 Dactor Wyren Olang

Patrick was so furious that his forehead started throbbing.

“Are you mocking me?”

“There’s no end to your bul lsh it at all. Aren’t you messed up?”

She pulled Candice along and said, “I’ll send you downstairs.”

“Monica!”

Patrick dumped a stack of documents onto the ground with all his might.

After making a turn, Candice advised, “You don’t have to provoke him.”

“He deserves it. You’re a divorced and unemployed woman. How miserable is that? Yet, he still tried to make things. hard for you. He won’t dare to bully me because my stepfather is rich,” Monica said with a look of contempt.

Suddenly recalling something, she continued, “Aren’t Percy and Doctor Byron both pretty rich? Just send one of them out to teach Patrick a lesson and get revenge.”

“Are you going to do it?”

“You can do it. You are the most promising divorced woman who has the greatest chance of marrying a rich man.”

They boarded the elevator to the finance office on the 4th. floor and Candice said perfunctorily, “No such thing.”

Monica felt a little guilty after hearing her tone of voice.

“Have I created trouble for you?”

Candice immediately refuted, “No, you didn’t do anything.”

After recounting everything that happened that day without missing a single detail, she swore again, “I’m really not al pretentious bit ch. It was just a slip of the tongue.’

Candice had a complete epiphany.

It was no wonder that Percy instructed Rose to take Candice’s call on his behalf.

One, it was to avoid suspicion, and two, it was probably because he had mistaken her for using him and bailing on him for Byron.

Candice had no romantic feelings for Percy but she had a good impression of him. Besides, he had given her plenty of help. Thus, she decided to send him a text to explain things.

clearly.

She sent the text after reading through it once and making sure that it was fine.

“Nothing went wrong, right?” Monica asked nervously.

“Something went wrong.”

“Huh? Did you mess up with both guys?” she asked guiltily.

Candice ignored her and proceeded to collect her half- month salary before leaving the office building.

It was raining harder than when she arrived, and her car broke down when it crossed a deep pothole.

The terrain was high and her car couldn’t get over the high surfaces.

Now that it was raining heavily, she couldn’t get a cab either.

Holding her umbrella, Candice planned to walk back to the office to get a lift from Monica. However, the wind was blowing hard and her umbrella flew away as she couldn’t hold it down.

She instinctively covered the wound on her chest and ran backwards in panic.

The next thing she knew, the wind and rain above her head seemed to have stopped. Candice raised her head to see that there was a broad umbrella above her. Stunned, she turned around.

Percy’s face came into focus and she could now see her clearly. His deep set eyes were gloomier under the rain.

The rain was so heavy that the streets ahead could barely be

seen.

Standing in the rain, he asked smilingly, “Miss Candice, do you need a lift?”

Candice was so stunned that she could barely speak properly. “Aren’t… Aren’t you supposed to be in LA?”

“I was there but I came back after knowing that you’re looking for me,” he said with his back soaked in rainwater. There were also water stains on his white suit.

Once again, the scene was repeated.

He shielded her from the rain, keeping her dry while he got

wet.

Chapter 35: Doctor Byron is Glowing

Holding the handle of the umbrella, Candice pushed it towards him, “You…”

As Percy came closer, the cufflinks of his shirt brushed her collarbone. Although the rainwater was icy cold, the cufflinks were warm.

“Patients are of first priority.”

His words were appropriate and he didn’t take the opportunity to play the emotional card. Thus, Candice didn’t feel any psychological pressure when facing him.
