Transmigrated: I Became My Nemesis's Woman novel Chapter 7

Chapter 7: You asked for it

The doctor visibly flinched the moment Raven shot him a sharp glare.

"Ahem."

He quickly cleared his throat and adjusted his glasses, trying very hard to look professional—while also trying very hard not to look directly at the woman who looked ready to commit murder using hospital equipment.

"Miss Ivy seems to be fine," the doctor said nervously. "But she still needs rest."

As he spoke, his eyes shifted toward Xander, very deliberately avoiding Raven’s murderous stare.

Internally, however, he was screaming.

But I already approved her discharge!

He had signed the papers. The woman had been stable—or rather, surprisingly strong—for someone who had been on the verge of death. And yet, she had apparently escaped, fought several grown men, terrified half the hospital staff, and was now staring at him like he was her next target.

The doctor valued his life very much.

"Doctor Uncle," Leo suddenly said politely.

The doctor instantly straightened.

"Yes, Young Master Leo?"

"Can you please treat Mommy’s hand?" Leo asked innocently, lifting Raven’s arm to show the bruise forming on it. "She got hurt while fighting those big bad uncles."

Raven blinked.

Mommy?

She slowly turned her head to look at the boy beside her. Had she heard that correctly?

Apparently, she had—because Leo was still holding her hand as if everything was perfectly normal.

Even more shocking was the fact that the man standing beside them showed absolutely no reaction.

Xander did not look surprised. He did not look confused. He did not even raise an eyebrow.

He simply stood there calmly, as if his son calling a random woman "Mommy" in the middle of a hospital was a perfectly reasonable event.

Raven stared at him. He stared back. Neither of them said anything.

Meanwhile, the doctor had entered full survival mode.

"Yes, Young Master Leo," he said obediently. "I will treat the bruise immediately."

He carefully approached Raven like someone approaching a dangerous wild animal and gently reached for her hand, examining the bruise while silently praying.

Please don’t attack me.

Please don’t grab anything sharp.

Please don’t throw anything at my head.

His eyes nervously flickered toward the nearby tray of instruments—especially the scissors. But to his surprise, the woman seemed too occupied with her own thoughts to even move, and that alone gave him a strange sense of relief.

Once the doctor finished treating Ivy’s hand, the trio left the hospital. However, instead of getting back into the car, Ivy suddenly stopped.

"Can we talk?" she asked.

Xander paused and looked at Leo.

"What happened, Mommy?"

Leo, who had been excited to finally go home, frowned when Raven didn’t get into the car.

"Mommy, aren’t you coming home?" he asked, looking up at her with big, hopeful eyes.

Is this... not what I was supposed to say?

Did he agree?
