Chapter 538
Sadly, he also looked very haggard. Considering that, he wasn’t handsome at all.
She told Natalie that she found Frank a bit unprofessional and casual.
They chatted for a moment longer before finally ending the conversation. Frank remained asleep throughout.
Elizabeth let out a sigh as her eyes wandered around Frank’s office. A photo on the desk took her attention.
In the photo, Frank had a bachelor’s suit on and a glint of vibrancy on his face. It should be taken the day when he graduated from the med school. Compared to what he looked like now… Well. Being a doctor wasn’t easy, it seemed.
Just then, Frank shifted to his side and curled up. He looked cold. Perhaps the window was not closed properly, and the wind leaking in blew cold air into the room.
Elizabeth stood up and scanned the room in search of a blanket but found nothing. She then took off her coat and placed it on Frank.
Now Frank’s knitted brows smoothed and he slept more soundly.
Leaning against the desk, Elizabeth propped her chin up and stared at the sleeping man. She wondered when Frank would wake up. She actually skipped dinner to see Frank.
But boredom and exhaustion took a toll on her. With her eyelids drooping, Elizabeth yawned and soon fell asleep.
It was drizzling outside the window when Frank woke up from his slumber. His breathing was ragged and sweat was dripping from his forehead.
It took him a few seconds before he fully saw where he was. He wasn’t inside an operating room anymore. Knowing that he was safe, he breathed a sigh of relief. To sober himself up, he rubbed his eyes.
The dream he just had still felt so vivid.
In his dream, the operation was declared to have failed and Frank was being chased and cursed by the parents of the patient outside the operating room.
The child’s mother slapped him across the face, wailing in indescribable grief. She kept telling him that he was the one who killed her child. After her meltdown, the mother got on her knees, begging Frank to give her back her child.
Memories flooded into his mind as he looked up, massaging his throbbing temples. Just as he was about to get up and grab a glassof water, the coat slipped from his back to the floor.
It was a lady’s coat. He picked it up from the floor, placed it on the chair, and glanced at the woman resting her head on the table.
She was the only woman here, so the coat was probably hers.
After drinking a glassof water, Frank approached her and gave the table a few light taps to wake her up.
Not long after, Elizabeth woke up and looked up at Frank. She was still feeling a little drowsy.
Frank sat back in his seat. He kept looking at the woman’s face because he couldn’t recognize her as the family of any of his patients.
If that were the case, then she was probably a patient herself.
