Her other leg which not yet crossed the entrance stayed inside the room. Riley looked at the people who were passing by in front of the emergency room with an expressionless face and said airily, “They’re just someone I encounter by accident.”
Oh? Just encounter by accident? From her nervous look just now, and how she was so anxious to ask the security guards to come to the scene, it did not seem to be the case. William shrugged. “Is that so…” He passed by her and shoved the medicine bottle into her hand. “Apply the medicine at night, and your wound has to avoid contact with water these days. Don’t carry out strenuous exercises. If your wound is torn apart again, it might leave a scar.”
Riley took over the bottle and glimpsed at it. “Are you doubting my medicinal knowledge?” William smiled without saying yes or no. “No, I’m doubting your ability to take actions. Old wound follows by the new, if you still want to wear skirts, you better mind your knee these days.” After finishing reminding her, he left without waiting for her to take a step out, leaving her watching his back. Riley sneered. What cool personality he had.
As Riley had just finished treating her wound and was going to take the lift to go to the cardiology department, a bunch of people suddenly swarmed into the lift and she was forced to the very corner.
She moved her knee slightly backwards and thought it was indeed her responsibility to take care of her own knee. “Did you see Lydia Saunders just now? Oh my gosh, she’s really beautiful! She even looks prettier than when on TV, especially her heart-shaped face!” Oh is she? What’s so pretty of that cunning face?
“And she’s slim too! She looks like she only weighs 85 pounds at most! And she even has long legs, I’m jealous!” Long legs? Riley sneered. She was two centimeters taller than Lydia in heights. “That’s not the only thing! She’s sexy too! She does not have any fat over her body and they’re all stored in her breasts and hips! She has a nice body!” This? Riley looked at herself and moved her eyes away.
As Riley finished changing her clothes in the changing room, her phone vibrated in her pocket. She tidied her collar with one hand and picked up the phone with another. Seeing the name that was shining on the screen, her heart leapt. She took two breaths to calm herself down and answered the call. “Hello?”
“Where are you?” His tone of voice exactly resembled the way a supervisor talked to his subordinate, impatient and frustrated. The message Euan wanted to convey to her was he really disliked her! Riley tidied up her clothes and attached a pen on it. “I’m at the duty room.”
“Come here now.”
“…I have to go to work, the patients are waiting.”
“Then let them wait. Come upstairs now.”
“I…”
“Riley Watson, don’t test my patience. I give you three minutes.”
“Hey…” The phone was hung up and she was avoided of any chance to reply. She stared at the screen and let out an aggrieved grim smile. He wanted to torture her, humiliate her and make her embarrassed in the three-people relationship.
He actually dared to use such a despicable trick! She shoved her phone into the pocket of her white coat with hatred and headed towards the lift with a frigid and indignant look. Nurses who passed by her all lowered their heads and no one dared to utter a word. “Ma…Doctor Watson, you’re here.” She was surprised that Euan was not there when she reached the obstetrics and gynecology department and there was only Elijah waiting outside the entrance.
Riley nodded and asked, “Where’s Euan?”
“Mr. George has left due to some matters. I’m waiting for Miss Saunders here. Mr. George is worried that something would happen to Miss Saunders and he wants you to keep her company here.” Riley tightened her clenched fists in her pockets and replied, “Okay.” Elijah glanced at her. It was the first time he saw her wearing the white coat in person.
Her long hair was tied into a ponytail and her clean and pale forehead was shown, highlighting her heart-shaped face that made her looked younger than her actual age. Her skinny body was clad in immaculate white coat, and with her deft and neat appearance, she inevitably gave him a comfortable feeling. But that was just his feeling. Who knew how Mr. George would think of her?
After waiting for more than half an hour, Lydia finally came out after the checkup was done. Elijah stood with his hands at his sides. Seeing Euan not there when she came out, and Riley was there instead, Lydia felt annoyed. She handed the checkup report to Riley and said, “The report’s come out, Doctor Watson. Do help me have a look.” Riley flipped it and basically knew the situation after having a look through. “The fetus’s development is good, and the result for every criterion looks nice.”
Lydia crossed her arms before her chest and sneered. “Doctor Watson, you better have a closer look. If anything happens to me and the baby, how should you be held responsible?” As she said the last word, she moved her eyes to her abdomen and made a cold sarcastic remark in contempt.
The veins on Riley’s hand bulged and she had another look through of the result once again while tightening her grasp on the report. “You’re slightly anemic and you could fix that by having supplements. It would be alright to pay more attention to your daily diets and remember not to be picky during pregnancy. The diet must be a mix of vegetables and meat, and the nutrition must be balance. Pay attention to protein consumption, and appropriate proportion of fat could help in fetus’s development.”
Lydia sneered. “Fat? Doctor Watson, I’m an artist. Artists can’t get fat. Are you trying to ruin my career? As for the anemic part, I can take drugs.” Riley glanced at her abdomen and said, “The fetus is only five weeks old and it’s unstable. Pregnant women can’t simply take any drugs. Miss Saunders, getting pregnant is a risk of its own, it might get your body out of shape.”
Lydia sneered. “Sounds like you’ve gotten pregnant before! I’m afraid that somebody would love their body to get out of shape; it’s just that they didn’t get a chance to do so! Don’t you forget, Doctor Watson, many eyes are watching this child. You better figure how to nurse my health!” Riley handed the checkup report to Elijah and said, “Miss Saunders has been tired due to the checkup, please bring her back to rest.”
“Doctor Watson, my child has developed normally and grown well, are you disappointed?”
