Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 827

Noreen saw the drops of blood on the floor as soon as she walked in. She frowned at Seth. "What's going on?"

The nurse immediately tattled, "He says he's fine and insists on being discharged."

Seeing Seth avoid her gaze, Noreen had a good idea of what was happening. She turned to the nurse. "I'll handle this. Thank you."

The nurse, clearly relieved to be rid of the trouble, quickly left the room. Once they were alone, Seth mumbled, "You don't have to worry about me. I'm fine."

His irresponsible words ignited Noreen's anger. The doctors had worked to save him for three hours last night. She could still vividly picture him covered in blood.

"Seth, can you get a grip? Can you stop playing games with your own life? Why on earth did you charge in like that? Don't you know you almost died? Can you please have some sense of self-preservation?" Noreen's temper flared, and she let out all the fear and anger that had been simmering inside her. "Sometimes I just want to crack open your head and see what's actually inside!"

How could he have been so reckless?

Seth kept his head down, looking like a schoolboy being reprimanded. Noreen's frustration boiled over. "Say something!" she yelled.

Seth's lips twitched. After a long moment, he finally spoke. "Noreen."

"I told you to talk, not to say my name!"

He paused for two seconds. "I'm answering your question from before."

It took Noreen a moment to understand his meaning. She was left speechless, unsure whether to be angry or not. In the end, seeing that the puncture mark on his hand was still bleeding, she decided to let it go. She found a cotton swab on the nearby nurse's cart, walked over to him, and said coolly, "Hand."

"I heard you, Director Gilmore."

*What was that?*

Seth's mood had improved considerably. He picked up the spoon and took a mouthful of porridge. The familiar taste made him pause. Seafood porridge with the flavor of ginger but no ginger pieces. This was exactly how he liked it.

He looked up at Noreen, trying to suppress the joy rising in his chest. "I can't believe you still remember what I like."

After he said that, Noreen was silent for a couple of seconds before replying, "You know I have a good memory."

Now, it was Seth's turn to fall silent. The temperature in the room seemed to drop. He didn't say another word, just quietly ate his porridge. Noreen sat nearby, looking at her phone as if she were handling work. But the moment Seth finished eating, she put her phone away and came over to clear the containers and the table.
