Chapter 8
She pushed through the crowd and saw Dwayne shielding Sonia in his arms. He blocked the family member’s hand that was about to land on Sonia’s face, while she trembled in his arms, looking extremely pitiful.[]
The patient’s family member was obviously intimidated by Dwayne’s imposing presence. “W–Who are you?“]
Dwayne pushed her away. “We can always talk things out. There’s no need to get physical.“[]
“You don’t know how outrageous she was!” The woman pointed at Sonia angrily. “My son almost died. When she was making rounds, she actually found my son’s wounds disgusting! Is she really a doctor?“]
“That’s not what happened…” Sonia shook her head and looked at Dwayne, her eyes red. “Dwayne, I’ve been feeling sick since having breakfast this morning. It has nothing to do with the patient.“[]
He nodded. “Leave it with me.“]
Then he looked at the woman. “You heard her. It was just a misunderstanding. How about this? I’ll take care of your son’s medical bills.”
Hearing this, the woman wasn’t that furious anymore. She nodded, agreeing to let this slide.[]
“Some doctor!” she mumbled as she went back to the ward.[]
“I’m so sorry, Dwayne. I hate to cause you any trouble,” Sonia said with distress in her eyes. “In fact, you didn’t have to help me at all. What if you got hurt?“[]
Dwayne smiled gently, “I’m just glad you aren’t hurt.”
“Dr. Frazier, Mr. Lambert is your boyfriend, right?“[]
Sonia dipped her head and smiled shyly, “What? No…“[]
“Stop denying it. You two are a great match!“[]
Everyone nodded and echoed.]
Through the crowd, Dwayne’s gaze fell upon Dorothy.[]
As she locked eyes with him, her heart ached so much that she couldn’t even breathe.[]
Her husband and another woman were a great match.[]
It seemed she was the unwanted one here.]
