Chapter 2143
A young girl about five or six years old with big, beautiful eyes, rosy skin, and who loved wearing traditional dresses… This was June, no doubt.
As soon as he thought of this, Christopher’s gaze on Laura softened as he asked, “You say you came across her recently as a patient? What’s wrong with her? Where did you see her?” Laura sighed.
“I saw her at Mr. Joshua Lynch’s house.
“That poor child.
She doesn’t have a mother, and her father recently left her too.
She had no choice but to be put under the care of her father’s friend, where she had to beg for her meals… “If this friend of her father’s hadn’t treated her so terribly, she wouldn’t have fallen ill so easily.
“I hear that she came all the way from Banyan City.
That poor child…” Then, she glanced tentatively at Christopher, trying to observe his expression.
“Don’t you agree, Dr.
Roberts?” Christopher narrowed his eyes and replied impassively, “Yes, indeed.
What a poor child; I especially pity her for having such a bad doctor who shares her personal information so publicly even though she’s sick.” Then, he lifted his head to shoot Laura a cold look.
“Don’t you agree, Dr.
Suess?” Laura’s expression darkened upon hearing this.
She bit her lip and was about to say something in reply when Christopher’s phone rang.
“I’m sorry,” he said before picking up the phone.
Suess?”
Sensing his irritation, Laura bit her lip and stood up.
Goodbye.”
Then, she turned and left.
She had just taken a few steps when Jim, who was walking in the opposite direction, bumped into her harshly.
