Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 1063

The sun was setting, and the surgery for Clement came to an end. Zephyr had injected just enough anesthetic for Clement to wake up half an hour after the surgery ended.

Raymond had been staying by Clement's side all this time, and he asked anxiously, "So, how do you feel?"

"Nothing." Clement shook his head. His wound was excruciating before he fainted, and now he felt a lot better.

"What do you mean, nothing?" Raymond stared at Clement's leg, frowning. "Did you lose feeling in your whole leg?" He immediately pinched Clement's leg.

Clement inhaled sharply and shot Raymond a glare. "Now I feel something." He gritted his teeth.

"Really?"

"Yeah, I feel I shouldn't have saved you."

Huh.

Zephyr shook his head. "I just administered some painkillers. What do you want him to feel? Agony?"

Raymond shut up. He was worried about Clement largely because he suspected Zephyr, but now Zephyr proved that he was at least an ethical doctor. He won't mind our attitude. "Thank you," said Raymond seriously.

Zephyr changed the subject. "I'll hand over the meds he needs to your doctors. All they have to do is keep an eye on him. Both of you may go now."

"Thank you, Dr. Lorwhal. We'll be going now." Raymond apologized and carried Clement away on his shoulder like he was a sack of potatoes.

When they were finally gone, Zephyr heaved a sigh of relief and cleaned the place up, but a short while later, Zephyr heard soft footsteps from behind him. He immediately picked up a used scalpel and flung it in the direction of the intruder.

The scalpel hit a rack and was buried deep in the door.

Someone clapped. In came a Caucasian man wearing a two-piece suit and a dark green top hat. His beard was gray, yet his skin was as smooth as a young man's. It was difficult to tell just how old he was. "I expected no less from Area X's best doctor. You've improved a lot ever since we last met. Soon you'll be the perfect doctor."

Zephyr narrowed his eyes, a dark light glinting within them. "How did you get in?" He wasn't surprised to see the intruder. He was Area X's person in charge and his ex-boss—Yosef.

Back when he was in Area X, Yosef promised to lend his services to a group of bloodthirsty b*stards the moment he showed his talent, and he did so without asking for any permission. Thinking that Yosef was a sc*m who would do anything for profit, they got into a fight and went their own ways.

Zephyr was one inch from death when he left Area X, but he held on by sheer determination. Once he was all healed up, he ran around different countries helping those who needed it. Thanks to that, he gained great fame, and Yosef told everyone he was working for Area X as if their separation had never happened.

Zephyr never cleared things up. He didn't want to, nor was there a need to.
