Mr George, Don't Be So Arrogant novel Chapter 50

"I’ll get what belongs to me."

After a busy day, Riley leant on the balcony railing of the hospital, remembering what William said.

In the western sky, there was a spectacular sunset. Riley put one hand in the pocket of her white coat and held a cup of hot coffee with the other hand that she had just poured, quietly appreciating the sunset.

She suddenly recalled the years when she studied in America. At that time, she shuttled through the library, laboratory, classroom and apartment every day. She was busy, but she felt fulfilled every day. And she had no time to grieve over the changes of seasons. Although she was tired at that time, her life was so comfortable and simple.

But now, everything had changed. The youth time went further and further away, and her face always revealed fatigue and boredom. There was no trace of innocence on her.

Then, she met Euan.

After meeting Euan, Riley’s life began to derail. She began to be reckless and her life was out of her control.

If time could stop at the moment when people first met, how good should it be?

Euan was still a tidy man in white and strode past her.

She missed that time very much and his image was engraved upon her heart. She just needed to treasure that memory as an ordinary encounter and a memory of a good glance.

If nothing happened later, what would they be like now?

Riley took a sip of her coffee, which was so bitter. She forgot to put sugar in it.

She remembered that Euan never put sugar in his coffee. He liked tasting the bitter coffee. He liked slowly tasting coffee, and he only drank Blue Mountain coffee.

The freshly ground coffee was very fragrant. If the coffee was put in his cup, it would be more charming.

She wanted to know…

What was Euan doing at this time?

Did he occasionally recall the past?

"Dr. Watson? Why are you here alone?" If someone hadn’t suddenly interrupted Riley’s thoughts, she didn’t know how long she would be in a daze.

Riley looked up and recognized the pregnant woman whose husband was ill.

She said with a smile, "Nothing. How did you get here?"

That woman was carrying a paper bag full of things in her hand, "I asked a few people to know you were here. I finally find you. Thank you for saving my husband. My husband is now out of danger and his condition is stable. Thanks for a million!"

Riley was tortured by rumors and abuse for some days, and now she finally heard warm words. She was moved, "That’s good. You’re pregnant and you should have a good rest."

That woman smiled and nodded, "Dr. Watson, my parents came from home to see my husband. This is the specialty I asked them to bring. Please don’t refuse."

She handed the paper bag to Riley with both hands, showing an innocent smile.

Riley didn’t refuse, took the paper bag and said, "Thank you. I’ll eat up them well."

That woman smiled, then pondered and said, "Dr. Watson, I don’t believe those things are true. Dr. Watson, you are a good doctor. You didn’t do anything bad!"

Riley didn’t expect that she believed her.

"I have posted what you said to me on Micro blog and Wechat Moments. Although my behavior is insignificant, I hope I can help you. Dr. Watson, come on!"

She clenched her fist to cheer Riley up.

Riley nodded, "Okay, come on! Come on!"

Riley came to her office with the heavy specialty. Serena and Margot were envious, "The masses have sharp eyes! Dr. Watson, don’t give up! "

"The masses really have sharp eyes! She even knows that our Dr. Watson likes fish. These dried fish are enough for you to eat for half a month."

As long as Riley opened the bag, the fresh smell of fish came out. What a coincidence!

"It’s too much. I can’t eat it up by myself. I’ll give you some."

Riley rummaged through the boxes to find clean plastic bags, and then divided the dried fish into three portions.

"Wow! Dr. Watson, I wish people would send you specialty every day."

Margot said, "You don’t have to share so much. It’s not too much and you can take it back to eat with your families."

Riley resealed the bag, "I live alone and I have no family to worry about. So, who can I share it with?"

Serena giggled, "Then I won’t refuse. My mother is good at cooking fish that is very delicious. Next time, I will bring the fish to you to have a taste."

"Mother"…This word was strange.

Riley rubbed her neck, "I’m off duty. See you tomorrow."

Margot pushed her to pack up, "Hurry up. If Jeanne Pouchain asks you to work overtime, it will be terrible."

"Jeanne Pouchain? Ms. Pouchain?"

"Yes! She’s only been in office for a few days now and she is famous among us. Now, people in the whole department are afraid of her. According to this situation, I think she will be beaten in the next step."

Riley got off work with her bag and drove slowly back to her home.

She hadn’t come back for some days, and her home was even more desolate. It was very desolate in the kitchen. The flowers in the vase in the living room had already withered. She forgot to close the window, causing the rain and wind come into the room. And several books became wet and then became dried, wrinkling up.

It seemed that nothing had changed in the room, but something had actually changed.

"Ah--"

Taking a deep breath, Riley took off her windbreaker and hung it on the hanger. She began to clean up her room, clean away the withered flowers and leaves, pour out the water, mop and scrub the floor and dump the leftovers in the fridge. After being busy for a while, she got two big bags of garbage.

After she piled the garbage outside the door, she removed the quilt cover, pillow case and bed sheet and replaced them with clean ones.

She put the dirty things in the washing machine. Then, Riley looked at the bright and clean room, and finally became satisfied.
