Chapter 5 Damion's Illness Acts Up
Raymond was not surprised.
"Do I have to take off my clothes for the examination?" Raymond stood there motionless, without any intention of taking his upper clothes off.
"No, it's just more convenient for the examination. If you don't like it, you don't have to do so." Bethany could only make a concession.
She walked over with a stethoscope, put it into his clothes, and said, "I'll put it in then."
Bethany held the stethoscope close to his chest, but just as she was about to touch his wrist, her own was seized. Raymond used so much strength that it even hurt her.
"What do you want to do?" Bethany glared at him coldly and thought, "Is he going to harass me?"
"I should be the one who asks this question!" After saying that, Raymond continued in his heart, "I'm really annoyed by her pretentious innocent look. She clearly bewitched my son, so how dare she still pretend to be innocent?"
Bethany was speechless at this. She had treated many patients, but Raymond was the first to be so troublesome.
"Mr. Zavala, if you're really so conservative, I suggest that you change to a male doctor." She couldn't help but roast in her heart, "If he doesn't want me to touch him, then why did he personally name me to take charge of the physical examination?"
"Stop pretending!" Raymond's eyes darkened. "Have you learned nothing after leaving the police station? Do you want to be sent to prison?"
Hearing that, Bethany thought with anger, "What?
Is it him who called the police?!"
Bethany put down her stethoscope directly, and her eyes grew slightly cold. "What do you mean, Mr. Zavala? I just returned home, and I really don't know how I offended you?"
"As a group CEO, he can't be so warm-hearted. I'm sure that he's intentionally targeting me," she said to herself.
"You should know it clearly." Raymond snorted coldly and continued, "Look how unrepentant you are. I shouldn't have got you out of the police station so easily!"
"What's wrong with you?" Bethany was really angry and thought Raymond was mad. "What's wrong with me and my son having a meal together? It's none of your business, is it? Not only did you call the police, but you even intentionally came to our hospital to cause trouble. If you continue like this, I'll call the police!"
"Your son?" Raymond was furious when he heard that. "How dare you say that's your son?"
"That's my son, so why don't I dare to say it?" Bethany was also furious. "Mr. Zavala, if you like children so much, you can find a wife to give birth to one for you. It's really shameless for you to covet someone else's son like that!"
"Say that again!" Raymond looked down at her with his dark, cold eyes as he pushed her into the corner of the wall. Such a close distance was particularly compelling.
Bethany felt the threat and was even more shocked. She thought, "Is this man suffering from schizophrenia and paranoia?"
"That's my son!" Despite facing such a strong threat, Bethany still refused to compromise on this issue.
One second, two seconds...
The atmosphere was deadly silent. Bethany even felt that her breathing was stagnant.
She thought, "We are so close to each other now, and his tall body seems to be devouring me. What does he want to do? Is he trying to strangle me?"
Bethany's heart tightened as the suffocation grew more intense.
Just at that moment, Raymond's mobile phone rang and broke the atmosphere. Seeing the caller ID, he frowned slightly and answered it.
"Mr. Zavala, something bad happened. Mr. Damion's illness acted up!"
Upon hearing that, Raymond immediately became nervous. He thought, "Damion's illness has not acted up for nearly a year, and I have always been cautious towards him. Why would that happen suddenly?"
"I'll settle with you another day!" After saying that, Raymond turned and strode away.
Bethany patted her chest and drew a long breath. Then she couldn't help but roast in her heart, "This man is really crazy!"
Raymond rushed back to the villa without stopping. As soon as he had parked the car in the courtyard, a woman wearing a light-colored dress with a linen curly haircut hurried out in her high heels.
It was Aria. With her face full of fear of being blamed, she said in a weak voice, "Ray..."
Raymond ignored her directly. He walked around her and then went straight into the living room. The living room was already in a mess, with things falling all over the ground.
Damion was sitting on the ground with his back leaning against the sofa. Seeing Raymond come in, Damion glared at him angrily, completely losing his usual clever and sensible look.
"Damion." Raymond rushed forward to pick him up from the ground, but Damion pushed him away with great resistance and shouted, "Don't touch me! Don't touch me!"
When Damion's illness acted up, he would be controlled by his second personality and become particularly rebellious and irritable. He would even injure himself.
Raymond had already had to coax him cautiously at ordinary times, not to mention when Damion's illness acted up.
"Okay, I won't touch you." Raymond took a few steps back and then sternly asked Macey Bush, the maid looking after Damion, "What's going on?"
"Well, Mr. Zavala..." Macey looked timidly at Aria. "It all began with Mrs. Zavala's coming back. At that time, there were only Mrs. Zavala and Mr. Damion in the living room, and then something seemed to happen. After a few minutes, Mr. Damion..."
"I didn't do anything," Aria immediately explained, "I don't know why Damion would suddenly be like this?"
"Didn't I ask you not to come back?" His tone was reproachful, and Aria trembled with fear. Her tone softened, and she sobbed in grievances, "I bought Damion his favorite dessert and wanted to bring it to him as soon as possible, then..."
"Get out!" said Raymond in a commanding tone. Hearing that, Aria was particularly angry and unwilling, but since Raymond had said so, she could only go out.
"Wait!"
Aria's eyes lit up at that, and she thought, "Does he want me to stay?"
"Call your brother and ask him to come over immediately!"
Aria's elder brother, Nolan Shepard, was a famous psychologist and could also be considered as the personal doctor of Damion. When Damion fell ill for the first time, Nolan came almost every day. In the past year, Damion's condition had been stable, so Nolan had reduced his visits here.
"Okay," said Aria reluctantly and then walked out of the living room to call Nolan.
"Damion, she has already left. Good boy, take the medicine, okay?" Raymond took the medicine from Macey's hand and handed it to Damion. However, Damion reacted excitedly. He seized it and threw it on the ground, then violently pushed Raymond away.
"You liar!" Damion's emotions completely collapsed. "You said that as long as I'm obedient, you'll make that auntie my mommy, but you still let that woman come back. I've said it many times. She's not my mommy. She's not!"
When Raymond was pushed away by Damion, his arm was accidentally cut by the glass fragments on the ground and slowly bled.
"Mr. Zavala!" The servants were frightened at the sight of Raymond's wounded arm and cold eyes. It was obvious that he had lost his patience in anger.
"You can't choose your mother. No matter how much you like that woman, she's not your mother. No matter how much you dislike Aria, she's still your mother. Do you hear me?!" Raymond shouted at him uncontrollably.
"No!" Damion was trembling. He stared at Raymond and shouted, "I just want to choose my mother myself, and I will never admit Aria to be my mother!"
"Damion Zavala!" Raymond was so angry that he even raised his hand, and Damion showed no signs of weakness. He raised his small face directly at him and said," Even if you beat me to death, I won't recognize her either!"
