Chapter 35: Feelings
"The clinic is short-staffed, so l have brought in so doctors from the Miller Group’s clinic. However, it can only last for a while. You’d have to co over quickly."
The caller was no other than Secretary Louis. Hearing his slightly anxious tone, Claire also beca a little nervous. It seed that the free clinic event yesterday had an effect, and the reputation of the Western dical Clinic was gradually spreading. For Claire, this was a great joy. "Claire, let’s go. I’ll drive you to the clinic."
She was taken aback by his offer, and looked towards her mother for confirmation. Her mother nodded in agreent, urging her to go with him. Let’s go, he said. Although his tone was flat, but Claire felt a hint of nervousness.
"Um.." She nodded and walked out first.
Once they left the house, Claire realized that she was sweating from nervousness.
"What’s wrong? Why is your face suddenly red?" Alex asked.
"It’s nothing..." she subconsciously touched her cheek, but he grabbed her wrist. Standing about ten centiters apart, his palm was large and firm, holding her hand tightly. Alex stared at the girl’s rosy lips, and countless images flashed through his mind.
His Adam’s apple rolled, and a hint of resentnt flickered in his eyes. He suddenly let go of her hand. After a long silence, he spoke slowly, "Why did you reject ?"
"Claire, you have feelings for ." Claire widened her eyes in shock and shook her head. "Alex, what are you talking about.. How could I have feelings for you? Don’t talk nonsense!"
"Is that so?" his deep eyes stared at her, and his thin lips pursed. His almost scorching gaze fell on Claire, making her heart beat faster and even making it difficult for her to breath.
Alex reached out and lifted her chin with his finger, forcing her to et his gaze. His low, magnetic voice slowly uttered, "Claire, you can’t fool my eyes."
Claire’s eyes widened suddenly. She did have so feelings for him, but that didn’t an she was willing to give her heart away, especially given their relationship, which was still being maintained by a contract!
She pushed him away forcefully and said coldly, "Alex, don’t forget our relationship. "Putting aside that paper contract, we are just two people from different Worlds." She had seen the pain her mother went through when Sebastian heartlessly abandoned her, and she had seen the indifference of the.
Jas family when her mother died leaving her with her grandmother. Since she was young, the person she feared the most was her father, and she hated those hypocritical relatives! She knew she wasn’t good enough, but she didn’t want to be tortured by emotions like her mother!
Alex looked at her cold and indifferent eyes and suddenly felt that he might have really done sothing Wrong.Perhaps What she needed was not pursuit, but trust. He pondered fora mont and then said seriously, "Anyway, during the ti you are with , I will protect you."
Claire was stunned. She stared at the man in front of her, dumbfounded. His tall and straight figure stood there like a vigorous bamboo, and his handso and clear face seed to be condensed with thousands of splendors, making people unable to move their eyes and unable to resist being fascinated.
Claire’s heart was in turmoil. Perhaps this man, whom she had once thought was terrifying and wanted to stay far away from, was really different. Seeing her stunned look, he sighed helplessly and said softly, "Let’s go, it’s getting late, let’s go to the dical clinic first."
He walked forward with long and graceful strides, his back shining with a golden glow in the sunlight, which made Claire a little infatuated. They arrived at the clinic in silence.There were already many patients waiting in line.
The doctors transferred from Miller Group was considered top-notch in the industry. However, many older patients still trusted Claire and insisted on waiting for her. When she appeared, Secretary Louis who walked hurried towards her with an urgent expression on his face.
Claire’s gaze paused as she saw a graceful figure behind him.
"Louis don’t walk so fast, I can’t keep up with you. "Anna, holding her long skirt, followed Louis with small steps, calling out in a sweet voice.
Upon hearing this, Louis’s face showed a bitter expression, his eyes full of impatience, obviously already annoyed by Anna’s clinginess. Claire narrowed her eyes, a cold light flashing in them. Anna looked up and saw Alex standing at the door of the clinic. Her eyes lit up instantly.
"Brother-in-law?" She exclaid in surprise.
Louis paused, his eyes looking sympathetically towards Alex."Brother Alex, why are you here? Did you co here specifically to find ?" Ann asked shyly.
Upon hearing these words, everyone present showed a hint of disgust in their eyes.
Louis frowned slightly, showing a hint of disdain in his eyes. However, due to his relationship with her and Claire, he still walked forward with a smile and said
"Director Smith, I’ve been waiting for you. The stage over there is reserved for you."
"After you’re ready, you can start seeing patients" Claire nodded, showing a hint of gratitude in her eyes, and said:
"Thank you, l’ll go over and get ready now."
"lf you’re sick, go see a doctor. If you’re not, don’t waste everyone’s ti."
"This is really outrageous..."
Listening to the ridicule around her, Anna ’s face turned red, and she looked atAlex with anunwilling expression, saying, "Brother Alex what I said is true. Claire must have done sothing bad behind the scenes."
"Otherwise, how could she, a country girl, be able to get your of attention to the extent that to buy her a clinic?"
Hearing Anna’s false accusations, Claire sneered. She looked up at Anna, with a smile that was not quite a smile on herlips, but her eyes revealed a hint of coldness. As soon as she finished speaking, Anna snorted disdainfully and said
"You’re going to see patients?"
"With your rural dical knowledge, how dare you co to this City and make a fool of yourself?"
"Brother Alex, even if your board of directors agrees, you can’t let her make a ss like this!"
"if sothing goes wrong, it will damage the reputation of Miller Group!"
Anna’s face showed a hint of anxiety, as if she was really worried that sothing might go wrong.
