Stella took the medicine from Zeta. “Thanks, Dr. Taylor. I’ll be off, if there’s nothing else.”
Zeta nodded.
Daisy was very curious about why Stella was there and asked, “Ms. Steele, are you ill?”
She was only curious about Ella because of Weston.
After all, she was the only woman around Weston at this point in time. A corner of Stella’s mouth lifted in a smile that hardly reached her eyes as she replied, observing the most basic of courtesy, “Just something minor, nothing much.” Daisy wanted to ask more, but Zeta came to Stella’s rescue, “This is a patient’s privacy. Ms. Daisy, please stop probing so much.” Daisy furrowed her brows. For some reason, she could sense animosity from Zeta.
“I’m sorry, I was just asking Ms. Steele…”
“She’s my patient,” Zeta cut her off.
There was a subtle hint of contention between both women.
Daisy stood by Xavier’s side.
Xavier caught her hint and glanced at Zeta. Upon seeing that Zeta didn’t even bother looking at him, a slight tinge of annoyance crept into his heart as he added, “We both know Ella so well. It’s merely a question of concern. Is there a need to overreact?”
He was clearly siding with Daisy. Zeta looked at him calmly, her eyes cold, “There are no personal contacts in my office, only patients. If you want to ask her, feel free to do so outside of my office, not here.”
“You…”
Daisy furrowed her brows, feeling slightly ticked off.
She had indeed snatched Zeta’s fiancé, but Xavier was already fooling around with many women when he got together with her and was clearly not ready to settle.
To boot, his engagement with Zeta was an arrangement put in place by their families and was never a matter of true love between them.
Daisy had never viewed Zeta with animosity.
Yet, Zeta seemed to be annoyed at her presence.
