Love Between A Cook And A Doctor novel Chapter 2

At midnight, the emergency room in the hospital was still bustling with incoming patients.

After entering the consulting room and wearing his white robe, Jacob Nelson quickly took over his colleagues' shifts.

"Handsome, you're late today," one of the doctors teased.

'It's funny to tease him.' Such a beautiful face was truly a gift for all the women in the hospital.

The patient stared at him, mesmerized by his beauty. In fact, as she stared deeper into his deep eyes, she found that her waist and legs didn't hurt anymore.

That was normally everyone's reaction when they first caught sight of him.

Ever since Jacob was transferred to H City, the number of incoming patients in the emergency department had increased rapidly. Even the nurses didn't know how that was possible. In fact, the female doctor even noticed how some of them were already recurring faces.

"Yes," Jacob answered indifferently as he wrote on his medical sheet.

The patient stared at him for a long time, without uttering a word.

Finally, he raised his head to look at her. "What's wrong with you?"

"Oh." As if by magic, the patient finally came to her senses. "Yes. I–I was suffering from diarrhea. It's weird, but I feel much better now."

Hearing that, Jacob frowned. However, some of the other older people around them found this to be terribly amusing. They laughed. "You won't feel any pain once you see a doctor as handsome as this one," they teased.

"Here. You can have a blood test." With a faint smile on his face, Jacob tore out his prescription and handed it to the woman.

The patient took it as if she had gotten a treasure, and the people around her gazed at her and burst into laughter.

"Next." Jacob turned helplessly.

Cherry had already made an appointment, and she was disgruntled to see so many people at the emergency room.

It seemed that it wouldn't be convenient to suffer from an illness in the middle of the night.

It was weird how everyone crowded around the door. She glanced at one of the vacant chair and sat down uncomfortably.

The patient came out murmuring, "Dr. Jacob is hot."

Cherry ignored the woman's words. All she wanted was to see whether or not she was next.

When she finally entered the consulting room, the first thing she did was to train her eyes at the doctor in front of her.

She froze, wanting nothing more than to race out of the room.

'Isn't this the guy who asked me to apologize just now?'

Jacob looked up.

His eyes widened momentarily in recognition. "It's you," he snapped before motioning to the chair in front of him. "Have a seat."

Cherry gritted her teeth.

How could a doctor even be so cold?

"I was scalded," she snapped. "Just now, a blind man parked in front of me and collided with my car. Because of this, my soup spilled over and burned my leg."

He shrugged, as if the 'blind man' she talked about wasn't him.

"Lie on the bed," he said indifferently. As soon as Cherry lay down on the bed, the man stood up and drew the curtains over them.

Soon enough, the two of them were separated from the others.

Cherry narrowed her eyes and clenched her fists. Although the man was a doctor, she was still on guard. The last thing she needed was for the man to get back at her for what had happened.

"Lift up your dress," he said coldly. He was wearing a clean mask over his face, revealing only his dark eyes.

She pulled up her dress and exposed her milky thighs.

"Your dress might rub against the wound later on," he suddenly noted.

Before she could process what was happening, the man tore off a large part of her dress.

Cherry gaped at him as she gazed at her exposed legs.

If he hadn't been a doctor, she would've shouted 'harassment'!

"Do you know how much this dress costs?" she demanded. Her jaw was clenched. The dress was extremely expensive! How the hell was she going to wear this again when it was ruined?

"Your wound might get worse," Jacob stated. Uncaring to her wails, he threw the fabric to her face.

'What the hell? Are all the doctors in H City assholes or is it just him?'

"I want to report you," Cherry announced firmly.

"There's a complaint box outside. You could slip one in." He diverted his gaze and focused on preparing the disinfectant.

Cherry was too busy worrying about how she was going to get her dress when she felt a sharp pain in her thigh.

She cried out, wincing from the impact. "It hurts," she groaned out.

The man didn't say anything. Instead, he grabbed his pincers and proceeded to clean her wound mercilessly. His cold gaze was trained towards the blisters that peppered across her skin.

"The wound's infected, so you need an injection." He threw the receipt at her. "Go out and turn right. You have to pay the bill first before you could get an injection."

'Bastard!'

Cherry's face was beet red from the pain and embarrassment he had caused her.

She stayed on the bed for a long time as she processed the man's words. However, Jacob paid no heed to her. Instead, he pulled the curtains and sat back on his seat as he welcomed the next patient.

Staring at her torn dress, Cherry clenched her jaw.

In a few seconds, her beautiful ankle-length dress was now an awkward mini-dress.

Grabbing her bag, she jumped out of bed and struggled to walk out of the consulting room. Each step was a pain to take, but she still continued to hold her head up high.

What she didn't know was that there was a pair of eyes following her retreating figure. There was something in Jacob's eyes that flashed with intensity before he returned to his patient.
