Chapter 39 A Big and Warm Embrace
Chapter 39 A Big and Warm Embrace
What was he doing here?
On the screen, Hendrix stood at the door with expectation all over his face. Because of something they
were unaware of, Hendrix looked like he had attained a success and was well-contented now.
Riley frowned, “You asked him to come?”
Euan snorted coldly, “You are not answering the door?”
At this moment, Euan was feeling a bit confused.
When the door was opened, Hendrix’s laughing rose up from the first floor to the second, “Sister-in-law,
my brother was out on a business trip. You got up very early!”
Riley wanted to tell him Euan was on the second floor, but before she opened her mouth, Hendrix
already sat on the sofa without asking. He made himself at home and crossed his legs, “Sister-in-law,
the bag you bought is great. It’s the latest. They only have begun selling it in Europe recently.”
“No...”
“Sister-in-law! Make me the breakfast that you made the other day! I haven’t eaten yet and came for
the breakfast you make.”
Riley was feeling on edge and talked back with an unhappy voice, “Hendrix, I am just off duty. I don’t
have the energy to make breakfast. Please go back.”
Hendrix turned his head to her and bantered, “Sister-in-law, when I asked you to dinner, you rejected
me immediately. But you were pretty close to the man doctor of your hospital last night. You didn’t even
think before saying yes to him. And now I came here in person to ask for a breakfast. You are going to
reject me again?”
“Hendrix George!”
“Hendrix.”
Two different voices came into Hendrix’s ears at the same time. Seeing his brother standing beside the
staircase on the second floor, Hendrix was shocked and his face changed immediately. He stood up
from the sofa and tried to make a natural smile, “Brother, you are home? Didn’t you go for a business
trip?”
Crap. Euan must have heard most of what he said before.
The expression on Euan’s face didn’t change at all. He said coldly as if he didn’t hear what Hendrix
said, “Go back.”
Hendrix grinned, “Brother, I am just here and you want me to go back?”
“Go back!”
Dejected and despondent, Hendrix left the villa.
The large living room was full of silence.
Euan’s cold eyes were like bottomless brown pools, “How are you going to explain to me?”
Riley looked at the antique shelf, “I have nothing to explain. I am clean.”
Euan examined the woman before him with his eyes. She acted like a slut and drew the scumbag
Kaysorn. And then she didn’t forget to seduce a man when working a night shift. Now he heard that she
had a meal with a man doctor. Besides...Hendrix thought he wasn’t home and directly came to his
house to ask for a breakfast. Riley Watson, after three years, you were really better at being a woman
of loose morals!
“Woman, I will let you witness the consequences of your stubbornness.”
Then he picked up his coat and car key before heading out. Riley run to him and grabbed his arm,
“Where are you going?”
Euan glanced at her hand which was holding his arm and shouted loudly, “Loose your hand!”
“Euan George, what else do you want to do? How many people are you going to injure?”
She questioned him and asked him how many people he was going to hurt. This cold-hearted, no, this
heartless woman didn’t even think about how much she had hurt him.
Damn it! She could still act like she was sacrificing herself to protect others. Woman, how long were
you going to fool me?
”You want a divorce? Okay, I will give you a chance.”
Euan suddenly gave her a cold smile. He looked down at the woman before him. His deep eyes were
inviolable and rejected any interruption.
“What do you mean?”
Sitting in Euan’s car, Riley thought about millions of possibilities. Did Euan really agree to the divorce?
Or was he using the divorce as an excuse to humiliate her again?
The car drove at an insanely fast speed as if it were flying. The speed represented Euan’s fury. He was
about to explode, and so was the speedometer.
Looking up, Riley saw the gate of JD Central Hospital.
Riley’s hand clutched the safety belt tightly, “What are you doing here?”
She didn’t know what to expect now. Why would Euan do this?
Euan didn’t know why they ended up here either. A minute before, his head was about to explode, and
he wanted to choke Riley to death. But now he lost all his courage all of a sudden. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
It was funny though. He was the young master of the George family. Who would know that the famous
Mr. George would ever go through such a moment?
The black Rolls-Royce stopped at the gate. In the car, it was dead-like silence. Outside the car, people
were walking fast to go to work.
Euan punched his fist on the steering wheel. He swore that this was the last time that he lost control for
Riley Watson.
But at the moment he was about to leave the hospital, his phone rang up. On the screen, it was the
telephone number of the Saunders family.
“Mr. George, Ms. Saunders seems to have been stimulated by something. She suddenly had a
stomachache. Her father and mother are both not home. Please come quickly!”
“Okay!”
Euan hung up the phone swiftly, “Get off!”
Riley’s thought didn’t catch up with Euan’s. She froze at what he shouted.
“Get the fuck out!”
She heard it loud and clear this time. And she understood it too.
Her thin fingers opened the door violently. Riley stood beside the road like a fool and stared at Euan’s
car as it drove away.
If she wasn’t standing at the hospital’s gate now, maybe what was going to happen wouldn’t make her
feel so embarrassed. However, when a person was in bad luck, he always ran into the most
unfortunate things.
“Dr. Watson, why are you standing here? Please go have a look. The hospital is in a big mess now.”
A doctor in white gown who just ran from the hospital to the outside to wait for an ambulance shouted
to Riley.
“What’s wrong?” Riley didn’t know what all the fuss was about.
“Ah. Please go see for yourself.’
Riley frowned, “Okay then.”
After what had happened between her and Euan, could anything worse happen?
Actually, it could.
Riley hadn’t slept for the whole night. But her dark eye circles were almost scared to disappearance at
what she saw later.
With a hand holding the mouse, Riley looked at a hot forum in scare. On the first page, the picture of
her and William was posted at the centre by someone with a wicked mind.
The headline in black was legible and conspicuous...As a doctor, she took advantage of the night shift
and boldly flirted with a strange man in the office!
Below it was a fabricated story which was ridiculous but convincing at first sight.
In the story, Riley was a slutty, shameless woman by her nature. Everyone could invite her to bed. She
constantly had sex with doctors, patients and even their families in hospital. She was a slut who
offended public decency.
Riley was overweeningly arrogant. She relied on her little medical skills and treated others with
contempt. She challenged the authority of her leaders in pubic. She bypassed the immediate
leadership and did many unforgivable things.
Every fabricated thing was depicted in detail. No wonder others would find them convincing.
“Such a doctor is a disgrace to the hospital. She insulted the profession of doctor!” This sentence was
the end of the passage, which was also a summary.
Blue veins throbbed on her forehead, and so were the distinct blue veins on her hand back!
Standing beside her, Serena was shocked by her powerful and scary vibe. Serena struggled for a long
while but still dared not to speak.
Teddy walked to Riley’s side and warned her in a gentle tone, “Dr. Watson, rumors ended in the ears of
a wise man. Don’t let it weigh on your mind. You just took a night shift. Go back to have a rest now.”
Go back? How could she go back now?
Serena and Margot carefully observed the man’s profile. They hadn’t interacted with William yet, so
they didn’t know it was him.
Riley stood up suddenly and strode out of the room.
Serena thought at first that she was going to kill someone.
“Dr. Watson! Where are you going? Don’t be impulsive! Being impulsive brings trouble! Don’t...”
“I am going to the control room! I am going to find out who was stabbing me at my back.”
Serena pulled her, “It’s no use. You are just a doctor and don’t have the right to ask the security guards
to pull out the CCTV footage.”
Yes, she couldn’t. But someone could.
The same website page was now on William’s computer screen too. It happened last night and was all
over the news this morning. Clearly, it was a well-devised plot.
However... William frowned. The one who took the picture chose a specific angle so that only Riley’s
face was clearly showed and his face wasn’t. Evidently, this was a deliberate slander on Riley.
Who was stabbing Riley at her back? Who did Riley offend?
William tossed the mouse away and stood up before heading out.
“I told you already. Don’t be fooled by her appearance. She is innocent and elegant on the outside. But
on the inside, she was filthy and dirty!”
Nurses gathered together before the computer screen. Their gossips and abuses all fell into Riley’s
ears. She walked out of the duty room, and was about to take the elevator to the floor of the vice
president’s office. When she passed the nurse desk of the department of cardiology, she stopped.
“She dared to flirt with the man in the office of our hospital. She is so shameless. I was a fool to praise
her as young and capable before.”
“Maybe it is only the tip of the iceberg. Didn’t you see what the informant wrote? What she committed
before was more outrageous and nastier than this thing.”
Riley’s bleary red eyes smiled coldly. She clutched on to the division plate for support. Her mouth
corner slightly rose up. Because she found it all so hilarious and ridiculous, she appeared calm and
relaxed.
“Someone in the comments section disclosed that she beat and cursed her stepmother. She often
loses her temper at her stepmother and disrespects her at all.”
“Gosh! Someone disclosed that Riley Watson was already married and that she hid this fact on
purpose to seduce other men.”
“This one is more outrageous. The reason why she managed to resolve the medical dispute and was
rewarded with a silk banner before was that she accompanied an official for one night! Is it true...”
“Stop talking. She’s here.”
A nurse said with a low voice, and others became silent too.
“Why aren’t you talking? You were discussing about me, right? Didn’t you intend to let me hear it?”
There was no embarrassment on her face. Instead, she made the nurses who were squawking feel
embarrassed.
“Dr. Watson...”
“You think that’s me?” She laughed at herself.
The nurses all looked at each other. No one dared to speak.
“Riley Watson, you do have an innocent face which can fool everyone. Even I didn’t know that behind
your doctor’s gown was such a wicked heart.”
Jeanne’s scornful sarcasm came out. Then it was the clear sound which rang up when her high-heeled
shoes touched the ground. Holding a case file in her hand, Jeanne looked like she was just passing by.
Riley clenched her fists, “Vice director Pouchain, be careful with your mouth!”
Jeanne’s rosy red lips opened and closed, “You don’t forget to swear at others at this moment? Riley
Watson, I look froward to your future performance in this hospital. Oh, by the way, if you are afraid that
you might get fired, you can come to me. Thinking of how hard you have worked for this hospital, I may
plead for you.”
Dropping the last sentence, Jeanne glanced at Riley with despise and strode away with her long legs
wrapped by a pair of jeans.
The nurses lowered their heads and began giggling.
Riley was so infuriated that her fair face turned pale. She walked to the elevator and pressed the “up”
button crazily. When she was fidget, the elevator door opened.
Before Riley could step forward, a big, strong hand reached out from the inside and grabbed her arm.
Then the hand directly dragged her into the elevator.
She didn’t have time to see who it was. Suddenly, everything went black and a clear and fresh smell
filled her nose. The familiar smell broke the silence and spread out.
“Ah!”
The wound on Riley’s knee was scratched. Feeling pain, suddenly she lost her footing and slipped
down. Her body began leaning backwards!
But then her back went soft and she fell into a big and warm embrace.
