Chapter 714 Are You Messing Around?
After leaving the hospital room, Huston didn’t immediately return. Instead, he instructed his men to guard outside the room and ensure that Evelyn wouldn’t be allowed to see Lucas. He then headed to Kevin’s office.
Kevin was studying a typical case of heart surgery when he heard the door being pushed open. He looked up but froze when he saw Huston’s peculiar attire.
“What… Are you evacuating?” Huston wore the upper half of a patient gown from his hospital and paired it with black suit. pants. His hair was disheveled, and his mouth was a bit swollen. If it were someone else, they might mistake him for a patient who escaped from the neurology department.
Huston’s mood was terrible, and he wasn’t in the mood for jokes, “Do you have any spare shirts? Lend me one.”
Hearing that he wanted to borrow a shirt and seeing his disheveled appearance, Kevin sensed something unusual. He walked over, rummaged through his wardrobe, and handed him a striped shirt that had been worn once. Just as he was about to ask what happened to his own clothes, he glanced up and noticed two faint scratches on Huston’s neck.
It was still red. It was obvious that he had just been injured.
Kevin’s eyebrows twitched as he quickly connected the dots. He was somewhat astonished.,”You… You wouldn’t be…”
“No.” Huston directly interrupted his wild thoughts, reaching out to take the shirt without any reservations. He removed his patient gown right then and there.
Kevin was already surprised, but when he saw the multiple red marks covering Huston’s body, he couldn’t close his mouth. “You! Could it be that you’ve been messing around?”
Mess around?
Huston’s lips curled into a self-deprecating smile, “Evelyn is not messing around, is she?”
As an onlooker, Kevin suddenly felt astonished. There was too much information for him to read.
“When did you two meet?”
“Just now. I called her because Lucas was sick.”
“So when you were in my hospital, you couldn’t help…”
“Yep.” Huston thought about his own impatience earlier, and now, in this state of mind, he sincerely added, “It would have
been better to resist.”
Knowing that she would say such things, he knew that no matter how upset he was, he would never lay a finger on her.
He knew she wasn’t entirely willing, but there was still a hint of confusion and infatuation in her actions. However, he never expected her to treat this as a transaction.
Kevin watched as Huston changed into the shirt and buttoned it up. Still feeling shocked, he asked, “Where is Evelyn now?”
“I don’t know. I told her to get out.”
This caused Kevin to be speechless, and his brows twitched as he thought. What’s going on? It has always been Evelyn telling Huston to leave. Has the world turned upside down today?
However, as a good friend, he felt obligated to advise him, “You should talk it out. Why resort to confrontations with a woman?”
