Leona pulled down his hand. Joe's face was pale and was even more afraid than her. She really didn't understand why a man was so timid.
The key point was that as a doctor, he dealt with people who were on the edge of life and death every day. They should be bolder than ordinary people.
"There is no ghost at all. I thought you were a ghost when you suddenly appeared behind me." Said Leona sourly. She was almost scared out of her mind by Joe just now.
Hearing her words, Joe breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, he found that his hand was still tightly holding Leona's shoulder. He quickly released his hand with embarrassment, scratched his head and said, "It turns out to be a misunderstanding."
"Why are you so timid? Shouldn't doctors be bold?" Looking at his still frightened face, Leona asked curiously.
"What does it have to do with the job? I... I was just scared by your sudden cry. It's so late. Why haven't you gone to bed yet?" In order to avoid her from continuing the embarrassing topic, Joe changed the topic at the right time.
"I can't fall asleep. You haven't had a rest, have you?" Said Leona honestly.
Joe nodded, knowing that she was worried about Eden's condition, and said, "I'm studying his disease. I want to see if I can make use of the several chemicals in his body, or maybe I can stop the increase of white cells in his body."
Leona was very grateful. No one would like to stay up late for other people's affairs unless they were his or her family. Even a friend would find it difficult to do this.
"Thank you, Dr. Joe. I really don't know how to express my thanks." Said Leona gratefully. At this time, she needed much encouragement and help from others.
Only in this way could she know that she was not fighting alone, and there was someone else accompanying her to fight at the front. Joe's help was like giving her a new hope.
"You're welcome. It's my duty. After all, Eden is my nephew. How can I leave him alone? By the way, someone brought me coffee beans from Brazil. I can't fall asleep anyway. How about having a cup of coffee in my office? We can also have a chat." Joe scratched his head and said. He didn't know what to do when he was thanked by others again and again.
"Okay." Of course, Leona would not refuse. She followed Joe to his office. After making two cups of coffee for the two, Joe sat opposite to Leona and chatted with her.
"I've read your medical records. Although the chance of pregnancy is very small, almost down to zero, But I hope you won't give up hope. Even if there is only one percent chance, try your best. You must feel relaxed."
"I know all these, but it's one thing to know, and it's another to really do it. Anyway, I will try my best." Said Leona with a bitter smile.
