“Don’t say that. This hospital is mine, so I have the right to care for all the patients here.” Chester suddenly grabbed her hand and checked her pulse rate.
Eliza looked down in surprise. “Are you checking m y pulse rate?”
“Yes. Your body is too frail.” Chester gave a discreet smile. “Is it because you haven’t been sleeping well? You usually have quite irregular periods, and you always stay up late too.”
“I’m going to prescribe some medicine for you to take for a week. Take one dose every day to nurse your health.” Chester frowned. “You may be young now, but your body might not be able to support you when you’re older. If you fall sick then, it’ll take ten days to one month to recover.”
“I do need to take care of my health. After all, I’m the goose that lays the golden eggs for your company. If I’m sick for a long time, it’ll affect your company’s earnings, ” Eliza said perfunctorily.
“I’m not bothered about the meager earnings.” Chester suddenly snorted. “Eliza, as a woman, why do you want to live such a tiring life? I really don’t care about that small amount of money.”
Eliza fell silent. With her shades covering half of her face, she gave nothing away. Only her pinkish lips were visible.
Chester still remembered the indescribable feeling of the kiss yesterday, which seemed to have brought him back to when he first kissed Charity. He was even savoring the aftertaste when he got home last night.
His rationality and instinct conflicted.
His rationality told him that he should not be deeply involved with Eliza because of Charity.
Nevertheless, his instinct told him that all of him wanted her.
He believed that he might be a little abnormal just because he had not gotten her.
“Eliza, what do you want? I can give you anything.” Chester reached out to take off her shades.
Eliza shunned his hand away and suddenly asked, ” I saw Rodney yesterday. Is Sarah in this hospital too? Mireya said she injured Sarah’s hands.”
“Mm.” At the mention of this issue, Chester’s tone became rather cold. It was as if he was averse to it.
Eliza lifted her head. “The day before yesterday, Mireya said Sarah admitted killing Jennifer in front of her. Sarah even threw Jennifer’s ashes into the drain.”
“Does Mireya have any incriminating evidence?” Chester asked all of a sudden.
“No. ” Sarah’s voice was too soft, so Mireya didn’ t manage to record it. Eliza shook her head. “I used to stay in the same courtyard as Aunty Jennifer when I was young. She was very nice. I always went to her place to have meals. Charity was my friend. She died so miserably, and even her family was killed by Sarah…”
Chester somehow felt something clenching his heart. He was so exasperated that he lowered his voice. “So does it mean that you’ll be mine if I kill Sarah?”
Eliza raised her head and looked at him before saying firmly, ” I’m aware of your feelings for me. You won’t pursue me.”
“Don’t underestimate yourself. ” Chester laughed. Despite saying that, he admired her quite a lot.
Those women who approached him back then did not know their position. They always tried to win his heart.
“Sarah has Rodney backing her. Rodney is your good friend, and moreover, his identity is unusual.
A smart person like you won’t have a falling-out with your buddy for the sake of a woman.”
Chester did not deny it. It was true that he was on bad terms with Rodney, which explained why he hardly interacted with him during this period. Even so, he did not wish to have a sour relationship with him. After all, Rodney was different from before.
However, Chester could understand Eliza’s mood. ” Don’t worry. Even if I don’t lend you a hand, Shaun will do something about it.”
“Don’t get me wrong. Actually, I’ve never thought of taking revenge. Indeed, I hate Sarah very much, but even Mireya and Cate can’t do anything to her. I know my limits. I’m just… curious about Sarah.”
Eliza suddenly said, ” It should be okay for me to meet her, right? I wonder what kind of a woman she is, considering how much she has wronged Mireya, Cate, and Charity. I want to see if she’s superhuman or has stunning looks.”
” She’s not superhuman, nor is she considered to have… stunning looks.”
Chester’s perfectly handsome face moved closer to her, revealing an evil smile. “There’s no issue meeting her since she’s right in this hospital. But if you want my help, you should show your appreciation to me, shouldn’t you?”
His eyes clearly revealed hints of flirting. ” I can tell you where she is, but if you’re going alone, you won’t even be able to approach the door. Rodney cares about her a lot. There are bodyguards outside her ward.”
“B*stard.” Eliza did not conceal her hatred. “No wonder Mireya wants to divorce him.”
“I approve of her decision too.” Chester nodded.
Deep down, Eliza teased, ¡®What gives you the right to approve of her decision? You’re much more disgusting and wicked than Rodney.’
Nevertheless, she took Chester’s hint but she did not want his kisses anymore. God knew how many times she brushed her teeth after she got home yesterday. “Young Master Jewell, I can’t say that you’re trying to pursue me, nor am I qualified for that. Having said that, even if you’re interested in me, you have to give me some benefits. If you have a kept woman, you’ll need to pay her before sleeping with her.”
“Do you mean that I can kiss you after letting you meet Sarah?” Chester was deep in thought. “Eliza, don’t trick me. I’m not the sort you can afford to trick.”
“You’re too concerned about getting things straight. It’s quite dull to be with you. ” After Eliza finished speaking and stared at him for a while, she took the initiative to kiss him.
While Chester was still pondering over her words, she kissed him of her own accord. He boldly held her head. As he had gained the experience yesterday, it was much smoother today.
He used to have no interest in acts like kissing, which involved lips pressing against each other. Plus, as a doctor, he was knowledgeable and had always found it unhygienic.
However, he started to be swayed.
With the woman’s unique breath and fragrance entering his lungs, Chester kissed her more deeply.
Chester knew that Eliza would retreat, so he held her more tightly to keep her from doing so.
It was only until she started panting that he let go of her.
Chester rested his eyes on her slightly swollen red lips and crimson face. He could not get enough of the kiss, but he found it strange at the same time. She was not very skillful in kissing. Also, given that she was previously a kept woman, why was she still so shy?
“Are you done?” Eliza asked calmly.
Only then did Chester notice her calm, indifferent gaze. She did not look like she had just experienced a passionate kiss. Somehow, he felt annoyed deep down. “Eliza, don’t you feel anything after I kissed you just now?”
Eliza opened her mouth. She initially wanted to say, “I’m a little worried that I might be infected because of your dirty mouth.” On second thought, he was still of value, so she casually answered, ” Nothing much.”
” If you can’t feel anything, let me kiss you again. I’ll make sure you feel something this time.” Chester approached her and draped his arm around her shoulders.
“Lizzie, this is the drink you wanted…” The assistant suddenly walked in. At the sight of the scummy Chester who was pestering Eliza, she was so shocked that her hand trembled and the drink spilled onto the floor. “I’m s-sorry. My stomach hurts. I’ll place the drink here and leave first.”
She promptly dashed out.
Eliza impassively pushed Chester’s hand away. ” Young Master Jewell, don’t be so shameless. You’ve taken advantage of me, yet I haven’t gotten to meet Sarah and you continue to push your luck. You don’t want to lose out, neither do I.”
Chester asked curiously, “But you’ve already kissed me. If I’m not satisfied with your kiss, aren’t you afraid that I won’t take you to meet Sarah?”
“It’s quite a pity, but I need to cut my losses early, ” Eliza answered coolly, “Considering that you work in the business industry, you should know that sometimes it’s necessary to stop a business or it’ll incur more losses.”
“You’re right.” A smile spread across Chester’s face. He was good-looking and had a charming smile.
Eliza recalled being captivated by his smile when she was still the young and muddled Charity.
However, she did not have any strong feelings for him now because she knew that not every man who always wore a smile was kind-hearted. For some people, the more they smiled, the more cold- hearted they were.
“After you’re done with your IV drip, I’ll take you to meet Sarah.” Chester took out his phone. “Save my number. Call me when you’re done.”
Chester stood up after Eliza saved his number. “I’m going to do my rounds now. We’ll get in touch later.”
As soon as Chester returned to the department of internal medicine, he personally asked the condition of the patients he had performed operations on. Then, he returned to his office and tapped open Eliza’s Snapchat. There was nothing much apart from pictures of her activities in the entertainment industry as well as magazine photos.
He tapped open one of the pictures taken during an event she attended a few days ago. It seemed to be an outdoor event. She was wearing a white maxi dress on her graceful body, revealing her beautiful arms and shoulder blade.
With her good looks, she appeared very flirtatious even when the wind whipped her hair into a mess.
Undeniably, he had come across many beautiful ladies. Even so, he quietly appreciated Eliza for a while. It soon struck him that it was already winter now, yet she attended the event in such an outfit. She had probably felt cold. It was no wonder she had a fever yesterday.
Chester immediately dialed Shedrick’s number. ” You’d better not let Eliza attend any outdoor events for now.”
“Why?” Shedrick was dumbfounded. “As far as I know, she has an outdoor event for a luxury brand next week. We’ve already signed the contract.”
“Turn it down. The weather is chilly, ” Chester said nonchalantly.
Shedrick was astounded. It felt as though pigs might fly. “Dude, if we turn it down, we’ll have to pay a few million dollars for breaching the contract. Besides, it’ll destroy Eliza’s reputation.”
“Well, tell the organizer to make sure the artists bundle up that day, ” Chester said after some thought.
