Female Novel
Chapter 985
It was not humiliating to step on sh*t, but it would be the most humiliating ever to bump into one’s exwhile stepping on sh*t.
At that moment, given her swollen face, she seemed to be in a sorrier state than stepping on sh*t. Shedid not want William to see that.
“Lei, stop hiding. I know it’s you.”
William deeply cherished this rare chance to meet Leia, so he sounded extremely agitated.
Xavier stood between them, and he was taller and studier than William. His body appeared like a largemountain before William. William could not bypass Xavier no matter what he did, so he became veryanxious.
“Mister, please step aside. I have something to say to Lei.”
Helplessly, William pleaded with Xavier politely.
However, Xavier took up an annoying front. He arrogantly looked over William’s head. “Which midget istalking? I can’t hear him.”
The assistant who stood beside William became angry. “Why did you say that? Doctor Jones is anexpert that the hospital hired at a high cost. He’s a truly talented youth. Of course, a ladies’ man likeyou can’t reach his height!”
“So, you are also admitting that your doctor is short, aren’t you?”
“He’s not short at all. He was five feet eight during the physical examination, and he’s five feet nine inshoes. He’s not short…”
The assistant looked up at Xavier, who was at least six feet and an inch, and stated with a guiltyconscience, “But he’s not as tall as you.”novelbin
Xavier appeared smug and looked at William, who was one head shorter than him. “So, I supposecalling you a midget won’t be offensive then?”
“Why, you!”
The assistant was so angry that he felt like beating Xavier up.
William waved his hand and stopped his assistant from speaking anymore. After that, he cracked aprofessional smile. “Mister, we hold nothing against each other. I don’t know why you harbor such greathostility toward me.”
“No reason why. I simply find you an eyesore, shorty.”
He then put both of his hands in his pockets as deep disdain emerged in his eyes.
If it were not for Leia, such an insignificant doctor had completely no right to speak to him.
Leia stood behind Xavier and listened to their argument. She felt slightly bad about it, so she gentlytugged at his clothes. “Xavier, that’s enough. Don’t be too harsh on him.”
“Didn’t he hurt you deeply? I have yet to attack him, and you already feel sorry for him,” Xavier saidambiguously while tilting his head slightly and glancing at Leia, who appeared cowardly.
As a result, Leia was stunned. “How do you know…”
“What do you think?”
He grumpily pinched her ear. “Look at how timid you are. Will you be so cowardly if he wasn’t your ex-boyfriend?”
Leia was rendered speechless.
She felt quite awkward, so she covered her head silently.
She had an allergic reaction, and her face was as swollen as a balloon. It was humiliating enough tobump into her ex-boyfriend, but her crush just had to watch from the side at the same time. It wasindeed so embarrassing that she felt like dying.
“Leia, your report is out.”
A laboratory doctor arrived with a test report. The doctor said to Leia, “It’s an allergic reaction becauseyou consumed seafood with mango, so it’s a bit serious. I suggest you get treatment from DoctorJones. He’s an expert in all fields…”
“Let me have a look at the report.”
William snatched the test report from the laboratory doctor and read the test data on it. His frown grewdeeper. “Lei, why are you so disobedient? I told you previously that you may be allergic to mango andseafood. It’s okay if you eat them separately, but you’ll get in big trouble if you eat them together,especially seafood. You can’t eat too much seafood, or else you’ll suffer from shock!”
“Are… you allergic to seafood?”
When Leia realized that she could no longer keep that a secret, she nodded weakly. “A bit.”
“D*mn it! Why didn’t you tell me?”
Xavier realized the grave mistake he had made, and he was extremely guilty.
