“Eliza, I’ve seen too many cunning and despicable women like you. However, I’ve never seen someone who treats herself as cruelly as you.” Chester adjusted his glasses. “You’ve successfully piqued my interest in you.”
Eliza laughed.
Chester did not think it was a happy laugh. “What are you laughing at?”
“Ah, you sound like those campy bossy presidents in dramas that I’ve acted in before. Like ¡®Woman, I’m interested in you, ¡® or ¡®Woman, I’ve fallen for you.”‘ Eliza’s slightly pale lips lifted. ” But those bossy presidents are wooing their wives while you’re wooing a mistress. Also, you’re doing it so obviously. I don’t know whether to compliment you for being thick-skinned or shameless.”
Chester’s handsome face turned as dark as the bottom of a pan. “Eliza, I just helped you, yet you’re humiliating me now. How many times have you humiliated me, huh?”
No woman had humiliated him multiple times yet escape unscathed.
“I’m not humiliating you. What I said is true.” Eliza shrugged. “If you think my honest words are humiliating, I can’t do anything about it.”
“Eliza, you… Do you think that I don’ t dare to do anything to you?” Chester grabbed her wrist. Just as he yanked it, Eliza sucked in a breath from the pain.
When he saw that she was in pain yet she was merely frowning and tolerating it, Chester’s heart tightened. He released his grip instinctively.
Eliza took quite some time to recover from the pain and said, “How can someone like you be the doctor in charge? Can I request another doctor?”
“Do you know how many people in the whole world are begging me to treat their illnesses?” Chester let out a hmph. “No matter what, Eliza, you owe me a favor this time.”
Eliza twirled with a lock of her long hair. “Actually, I can refuse to owe you this favor. You were the one who became involved in this. Even without you, I could’ve still called 000. There’d still be doctors to save me in the hospital. Just because you got involved, Hailey now has to make arrangements with the police to cover the fact that you were in my home.”
Chester was truly furious. He had sent her to the hospital and saved her, yet she was saying that what he did was unnecessary.
“Eliza, you must have a death wish. Believe it or not, I’ll reveal the truth and let other people see how the pure, lawless Goddess Eliza schemed against and framed her father. By then, your image will collapse. The advertisement companies and producers working with you will request compensation. If Felix Media disregards this matter, you’ll end up in a dead-end.”
Eliza squinted her eyes. She said coldly, ” So what are you going to do? Threaten me to sleep with you? Be your woman and a secret mistress?”
Chester’s delicate lips moved. Those things sounded pretty shameful, but he really had a strong interest in this woman. However, for some reason, when he saw himself reflected in her cool eyes, he suddenly could not bring himself to say it.
He started feeling slightly annoyed too. Knock, knock.
Suddenly, there were knocks on the door. A tall, beautiful woman wearing loose clothing walked in with a bouquet. “Eliza, I heard you’re hospitalized When Mireya saw Chester, who was standing in the ward, she trailed off.
Cate, who came in afterward, was stunned too. “Young Master Jewell, why are you here too?”
“I’m her doctor,” Chester said calmly.
Cate was surprised. “But haven’t you always been in charge of the patients in the oncology department? Why…”
“There has been a shortage of staff here recently, so I was temporarily transferred here.” Chester glanced at Eliza, who was on the bed. “I’ll be leaving first. I’ll check up on you again later.”
After he spoke, he went out handsomely with his long legs.
Mireya watched him from behind with a strange gaze. Then, she looked at Eliza. She blurted out, “F*ck, Eliza. Could Young Master Jewell have fallen for you?”
“Fallen for me?” Eliza laughed. “You’ve overestimated me.”
Cate frowned. She placed the supplements she brought on the bedside table. “Chester is a good friend, but if he’s to be a husband or a boyfriend, I think anyone who falls in love with him will be unlucky. He’s not a person who’ll remain loyal to any woman.”
Mireya said, “But hasn’t he already decided to marry Cindy?”
“Do you think… Cindy can handle him?” Cate raised her eyebrows. “If she could, Chester wouldn’t be marrying her.”
“Don’t worry, I never had the thought of being together with him.” Eliza raised her head and smiled weakly. “I understand that he just has a temporary interest in me. Nothing will come out of this even after he gets to have me. Moreover, I don’t like him at all.”
“Don’t worry. I believe Eliza is a cool-headed person. I didn’t understand why Chester kept targeting you during the meal last time, but now I understand. Chester must’ve been annoyed because he couldn’t get you,” Mireya said with a smile.
Eliza grinned and switched the topic. “I didn’t expect you guys to come and visit me. Actually, I— “
“We’re friends,” Mireya interrupted her, “I don’t know why, but I thought you felt very familiar the first time I saw you. I think this is what it means to hit it off with someone. Chester did say bad things about you, but making friends is a thing that has to be done through a person’s own interactions. No one is more clear than themselves whether that friend is worth making or not.”
“Thank you.” Eliza’s gaze was gentle.
If she had to say who could make her feel a sense of familiarity, it would only be the two people in front of her.
They were her friends in the past too.
“If there are any problems, you can look for us for help anytime, ” Cate said, “Shaun is an outstanding lawyer. He has a friend who runs a great law firm. If this case needs to be filed as a lawsuit, you can look for me anytime.”
“Okay, ” Eliza opened her mouth and said, ” Actually, I’m not afraid to tell you guys that I got this injury from deliberately stabbing myself. Jacob kept threatening me again and again. I’ve had enough of that person, so I thought of this idea.”
After she spoke, she smiled bitterly. ” I don’t want to lie to you guys. I’m not a kind person.”
Cate and Mireya were astonished.
However, it was only for a short moment. Afterward, there was admiration in their gazes. Mireya smiled and said, “That’s great. Cate and I hate simple -minded girls who pretend to be kind. Women should be a little cruel.”
“But there’s no need to use tactics that’ll hurt yourself to inflict harm on the enemy next time. You can look for us for help, ” Cate said.
“… Thank you.” Eliza raised her head and showed a warm smile from the bottom of her heart.
Since her rebirth, it was only now that she felt a moment of warmth.
Cate and Mireya only stood up and left after staying in the ward for an hour.
After closing the door, Cate raised her head and saw Chester walking in her direction.
Mireya could not help but mutter, “Is he that free?” Cate frowned and walked toward Chester. “
Young Master Jewell, it’s getting dark soon. Isn’t it your break time yet?”
“Eliza has to be put on an IV now,” Chester said gently.
“Young Master Jewell, you’re the hospital’s top doctor. There’s no need for you to personally take care of Eliza’s injury, right?” Cate said jokingly.
“She’s the patient I rescued myself. I like to be responsible for a patient till the end, ” Chester replied with a calm gaze.
Mireya mocked him, “It seems like you don’t just want to be responsible for her injury till the end, though. Right?”
” I think you guys haven’ t known each other for a long time. It’s better to not meddle in some things.” Chester glanced at Mireya calmly.
Mireya was furious. She had always been a person who could not hold in her anger. She said right away, “Even if we haven’t known each other for a long time, Eliza is still our friend. Allow me to be honest. You’re already about to marry Cindy, so don’t disturb Eliza anymore. She’s a good lady.
She’s not those women that you’re used to toying around with.”
“You both aren’t people of the same world,” Cate spoke as well, “I believe she doesn’t desire anything you have. If you want to play, you can. You should find the people who want the things you have. Moreover, Cindy isn’t a person to be offended. If she finds out, she’ll target Eliza.”
“I can handle Cindy.” Chester was unconvinced.
Mireya let out a snort. “Since you’ve said those words, I can confirm that you don’t understand Cindy at all. Cindy is absolutely narrow-minded. Indeed, she may not do anything at first, but she’s good at holding grudges. Then, when everyone isn’t on their guard, she’ll open her mouth and bite hard into that person until flesh shows.”
Cate said, “Young Master Jewell, don’t make us think badly of you. Although I thought you were a playboy before, at least I didn’t think you were a scumbag.”
“You’re wrong. I’ve been a scumbag all along. Also, me being a scumbag or not is none of your business.” After Chester spoke, he left in long strides.
Mireya watched him from behind and stomped her feet. “This is exasperating. I thought Rodney was the person I hated the most in the world. I didn’t expect Chester to be more hateful.”
Cate frowned. “No matter what, if Chester uses despicable methods, we have to help Eliza.”
“Yes, we can’t let her end up as a mistress. Chester doesn’t care, but Eliza is a celebrity. If it gets out, her whole life will be ruined, ” Mireya said in frustration.
In the ward.
Chester pushed the door and entered.
Leanne was holding a chamber pot for Eliza to relieve herself.
Both of them became frantic when a man suddenly walked in. Luckily, there was a blanket covering Eliza’s lower body, but Eliza was still frustrated from feeling awkward. “Chester, can’t you knock before coming in?”
“I’m sorry. I didn’t know… ” Chester did not expect it either. He shrugged. “But you’ re a patient, and I’m a doctor. I’ve seen these kinds of things too many times every single day, so there’s no need for you to overreact.”
