As Julien walked away, Alyssa sipped her tea gently. Then, she said lightly, “Sigh, I thought you were our only hope, Dr. Lovelace. Even Dr. Burton couldn’t help. Well, if that’s the case..”
“Who? Who did you say?” Julien aggressively stopped in his tracks. His face was riddled with shock.
“Dr. Burton.”
“Did you say Dr. Burton was attending to Jeremy? What was that senior doctor doing?” Julien couldn’t help but sigh
“Senior doctor? Don’t insult her. Dr. Burton is nowhere close to being old.” The calm and collected Alyssa was upset at his comment and slammed the table hard.
“I was being respectful. Dr. Burton is my idol.”
Julien’s face was filled with awe as he mentioned Dr. Burton. “I’ve not met the senior doctor, but she has an elegant demeanor. Even her voice and smile are perfect to me.”
Alyssa was rendered speechless.
“Moreover, it would require any of us in the medical field three decades to reach the level of expertise Dr. Burton possesses and perform such high-profile surgeries. What’s wrong with simply referring to her as a senior doctor?”
Alyssa touched her chin. She didn’t think it was a problem.
Julien could never have imagined that the woman he despised, standing before him, was, in fact, Dr. Burton-the very culprit behind his “kidnapping that had dragged his name through the mud.
Otherwise, he would rather hope the ground would open up and swallow him. He would rather die than face this utter humiliation.
“Dr. Lovelace, do you still doubt this man’s character-a man Dr. Burton is willing to save?”
Alyssa nonchalantly asked with a smile, “Don’t you think you are questioning your idol’s character?”
She was guilt-tripping him. She had no choice but to use this method to deal with this conniving man.
Julien pursed his lips. He dragged a chair and slowly sat again as he wandered into deep thought.
“Okay, I will take a look for Dr. Burton’s sake.”
Alyssa was overjoyed. She curled her lips ever so lightly. “I thank you on behalf of Dr. Burton.”
It was rare for Axel to come back to the country, so he wasn’t in a hurry to leave. Yet, he couldn’t sit around and do anything. So, like any other young man, he slept during the day and gallivanted at night.
Silas always teased him, “I know you are nocturnal. Anyone who didn’t know this about you might think you have an odd job or something.”
Axel asked Silas, Jonah, and Alyssa out for drinks. Yet, two of them declined his invitation. Silas couldn’t resist Axel’s pestering and finally caved in.
Axel finally acted like a younger brother when he asked them out for drinks. However, he secretly took hepatica and brought some medicine to help with hangovers. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to take it.
They searched for a more secluded booth to keep a low profile when they reached the bar.
Yet, it was hard for them to keep a low profile with faces like theirs. It wasn’t the dazzling lights in the nightclub. They would make a dramatic presence even in the entertainment industry.
Women hit on them and asked for their numbers before they could warm their drinks.
Silas was exceptionally annoyed. Yet, Axel found this amusing and challenged Silas. They had a drink once for each woman that hit on them. In the end, they ended up in a tie.
Eventually, Axel couldn’t hold his liquor anymore. He said to the woman, “I have a girlfriend.”
“Hmph, I don’t believe you. If you had a girlfriend, you wouldn’t come here with him for drinks. You’re obviously playing the field, handsome.”
The woman flirtatiously leaned toward him. Unexpectedly, Axel nimbly avoided her. The woman disheveledly fell.
Then, he took his phone and waved Alyssa’s picture in the woman’s face. “Here, this is my wife. Isn’t she beautiful?”
Silas glanced at it and almost spit the liquor in his mouth.
“Pfft, whatever.” The woman was jealous and walked off.
“Shit, Axel. You really are something. Using your sister and claiming her as your wife is overstepping a moral boundary!” Silas heavily put down his glass and looked at him as he heaved.
“Why should I hide my beautiful sister away? I should put her on display for everyone to see.”
Axel downed his entire drink. Suddenly, his eyes darkened as he scoffed. “Unlike the bastard masked behind a suit and tie. He has the world’s most beautiful wife. Yet, he didn’t let her meet people and snuck around.”
“Are you talking about Jeremy? Silas asked as he sipped on his drink.
Chaper 836
Axel retorted, “Otherwise, which other bastards would I be talking about?”
Axel then took a cigarette and placed it between his lips. Rage was evident on his face as he remarked,
I’m not sure what Lyse is thinking. She is divorced already. And that bastard’s name has been dragged through the mud. Why is she wasting so much effort to attend to his medical condition? Let him rot and die.”
“Just think of her as rescuing a stray dog, then. Don’t take this too personally, Silas comforted him.
“Huh? Do you think Julien will treat this bastard?”
“I think he might. Lyse always gets the job done.”
“Okay. I hardly get to come back. Now that I am here, I can’t leave empty-handed.”
Axel took a long drag of his cigarette. His eyes lit up with a blazing fire. He exhaled a ring of smoke. “Why don’t I sneak into that bastard’s operating room and
He slid his hand across his neck as he spoke.
Caught off guard, Silas shuddered. Shocked, he said, “Don’t you dare act recklessly. If you touch even an inch of Jeremy’s hair, Solana City will rumble. Don’t make things difficult for Lyse or even Dad!”
“Haha, I’m just messing with you.”
Axel patted Silas on the shoulder and headed toward the crowded dance floor.
He had too much to drink tonight, so he had to sober up.
As he reached the sea of people on the dance floor, a wave of depression swept over him. The added discomfort of the smoke’s stench, a shared disdain with Alyssa, Intensified his unease. Consequently, he decided to step outside for some fresh air.
The mesmerizing lights, the enticing rhythm of the music, and the sight of attractive girls dancing flirtatiously collectively heightened the atmosphere on the dance floor.
With a cigarette in his mouth, Axel danced skin-to-skin with beautiful ladies he did not know.
He was good at dancing, but his dance moves were obscene. No one could tell him and a hooligan apart if it weren’t for his good looks.
Abruptly, Axel was captivated by a scent that sent his mind into a frenzy. Even with alcohol already coursing through his system, the fragrance left him bewildered and stunned.
A delicate woman fell into his embrace in the blink of an eye. He instinctively grabbed the woman’s slim waist, and their bodies melted together instantly.
That fragrance was to die for, and the woman felt soft.
Under the dazzling lights, Axel opened his eyes slightly and looked at the woman in his embrace.
What the heck?
It was as if lightning had struck him. The fingers caressing the woman’s back turned instantly numb.
“L-Lyse?”
No, that didn’t seem right.
She wasn’t Alyssa. Alyssa didn’t have a mole above her eyebrow. Plus, Alyssa never wore sweet- scented perfume.
Suddenly, Axel’s pupils constricted as his flashbacks of Mosgravia appeared in his mind. Then, he shouted, “It’s you!”
It was the woman he met once when he was in a foreign country! This woman had been unforgettable.
“Hmm, do you know me, handsome? I don’t think I know you.”
Amber was drunk and blurry-eyed. She hooked her arms to the back of Axel’s neck. Her warm breath landed on his Adam’s apple. “But I kind of dig the way you hit on me.”
Axel’s eyelashes fluttered as his heart raced.
His heart rarely beat so fast. He was reacting to the woman who couldn’t keep her hands to herself.
