Chapter 986
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
Feeling slightly aggrieved, Leia glared at the man who got angry out of the blue. âI got an allergic reaction instead of you. Why did you roar at me? If I wasnât afraid that you would be embarrassed, would I have eaten so many prawns and crabs? How ungrateful of you!â
âYouâ¦â
Xavierâs anger soon subsided. Feeling guiltier, he lowered his head more and whispered to her, âWhy were you so silly? I thought you liked eating them, so I kept on peeling them for youâ¦â
âYouâre the silly one, not me!â
Leia rolled her eyes at him and complained grumpily, âYou didnât have to peel them for me even if I liked eating them. Iâm nobody to you. Why did you exhaust yourself so?â
Xavier heaved a long sigh and shook his head. âYes, Iâm silly. Iâm the silliest person in the worldâ¦
Youâre the smartest. Thereâs nothing you donât know.â
When William witnessed their ambiguous interactions, he felt rather sad.
âLeia, your allergic reaction needs to be handled right away. Follow me.â
He bypassed Xavier and held Leiaâs hand before he said in worry.
âCan we get another doctor?â
Annoyance engulfed Xavier as he glared at the hand on Leiaâs arm with his beautiful eyes. He yearned to chop that hand off.
âDoctor Jones has one of the best medical skills in the field. Itâs better to leave the patient in his care, given her condition, as to prevent a relapse,â The laboratory doctor suggested sincerely.
âHumph! Can he get handsy with the patient if his medical skills are good? Is this a hospital or a brothel?â
âExcuse me, Sir, but why say such nasty things? Stop being rude to Doctor Jones or we will refuse to treat the patient.â
âDid I say the wrong thing? Heâs a doctor but has no medical ethics. Why did he hold the so patientâs hand so casually?â
Hence, William had no choice but to let go of Reneeâs hand quickly.
He nudged his glasses and looked at Xavier with a faint smile. âIâm sorry. I acted impulsively because my relationship with the patient is a bit special. Iâll be more careful.
âBut I think the patient should be the one who voice out if I wasnât being considerate enough. An outsider like you didnât have to seek justice for her. What if the patient didnât feel violated at all?â
Xavier was greatly infuriated.
Unexpectedly, a seemingly refined nerd like William was not such an honest man either. But on the contrary, he was rather crafty man. Xavier hated such people the most.
âLei, tell us whether you feel offended and whether you want to get another doctor. Donât make me look like Iâm being unreasonable here.â
âNo, I wonât get another doctor.â
Leia made a straightforward reply before she looked at William and said, âI trust your medical skills.
You must cure me. I donât want any scars. If not, I canât get married.â
âOkay, donât worry. Of course, Iâll do my best for you.â
After that, William led Leia forward like a winner.
âWhere are you going? I want to go too!â
Seeing that, Xavier immediately pursued them like a child. He tried to persuade Leia, âThere are so many good doctors in this world. I can get a great number of them with just a call. Why do you want this guy to treat you?
âThis guy looks so young. Iâm sure he doesnât have much experience. Be careful of him ruining your face, now that you have it in his care.â
When he walked to the treatment room door, a nurse stopped him. âThe doctor will begin treating the patient. Please wait here.â
âIt isnât surgery. Why canât I go in? Is your hospital of standard? Iâm going to lodge a complaint.â
âIâm sorry, Sir, but you canât go in. Please donât disturb the patientâs treatment.â
The nurse still acted responsibly and blocked him outside no matter how he made a clamor.
Sitting on the chair in the treatment room, Leia listened to Xavierâs shameless wails from outside.
Consequently, this put hert in a dilemma and she was very confused.
