"...Where can you find a doctor as qualified as me to get a second opinion?"
Liza said to them with a very sour and hurtful voice, She was very wronged. What did she do to deserve this treatment from them? Is this a reward for saving someone's life? If not for her Gloria will be in big trouble as no one else in that hospital knows how to do that complicated surgery on the spot.
Though she is more interested in illnesses than patients, But she does follow her twisted ethics that put patients life first, and yet Grace who she thought is a good woman started to berate her.
How can anyone question her qualifications? She had taken almost impossible-to-treat patients and yet not a single patient of hers goes home with their illnesses, She has a perfect record.
Not even since she did not encounter any illness that she could not cure in the history of her long career, That's why she was especially offended by Grace's words doubting her qualification.
As for Alex also did the same is filtered by her brain as it was not important for her, For her face is justice after all.
"There is one, You know Xin Yan, The head of the medicine department before you snatched that position from her, She is more than qualified to give a second opinion."
Alex responded to her in an instant with mocking in his tone. He knew very well how much Lixa cared about being right in the medical field. This is her special field after all but he had to make her more flexible.
An ill-fated supporting character like Xin Yan only suffered that much because Liza was not able to stand any other person competing with her for the first position in the medical field.
She indeed has the talent and qualification to be the first in that field. She is a heroine for a reason but her personality of not being able to bear any other person in her place has to change.
Not only because if he lets her be there is a high chance she will turn into tsundere but also because as the plot progresses there will be more medical field heroines, Which obviously going to provoke Liza.
So for a worry-free future, He has to train her starting from now, And the first step will be Xin Yan, the woman he gave euphoria just by mere touch and has never seen again, He also has to introduce himself to her.
"Humm!!? Excuse me for interrupting the moment but can you tell me what is happening here?"
This time it was Sandra burning in jealousy as her eyes glued on Grace in the arms of Alex. She now knew the name of the man she had given her heart and heart but the way it happened she did not like it a bit.
She came with them but felt excluded from the group while coming into the parking lot. She wanted to talk to Alex but she was not able to get his attention. She figured out he was thinking something deep.
Then she saw as the event unfolded in front of her eyes, She felt like yanking that woman out of his arms, How dare she touch her man, The man she had given her body to She even had for a moment disgust for Alex which did not last as it quickly went away.
She remembers his story. Anyone who goes through all that is of course will be broken, He even tells her that and did not hide a bit, So she is quickly able to forgive him but she still hates Grace yet when she heard about her mother her anger was lowered quite a lot.
Yet anger did not go away. Her brain agreed that it is a quite normal reaction and she should be comforted but her heart did not like that the one who was comforting her is Alex, Her man.
But she did not dare to do anything, Alex made clear he is too hurt to change his living style as he will not get hurt once again, So she needs time to change his living style and make him forgive himself for the crime he did not commit.
She was planning on doing this from the second he finished his story. She can tell he is a broken man, Which needs self-healing. He can't forever blame himself because of that cruel woman.
So she can't say something against his actions or to that woman, as she is currently nothing but a one-night stand for him and her doing that might hurt her feelings for Alex. That's why she was keeping mum all this time.
But even after a few moments passed but still seeing Grace enjoying the warm embrace of Alex, She had it enough, So she spoke to get attention back in her to make them break their hug.
"Ohh, Nothing, Grace's mother was hospitalised and needed an emergency operation, So I called my friend Liza, Who is a contender for the best in her field. Operations were successful but Gloria, Grace's mother, had not woken up yet."
Alex turned to Sandra, While His hands still warped around Grace in his arms and gave brief information about what was happening, As if he really thought she was just asking about it.
"Ohh, So what's wrong with her mother?"
Sandra could not help but feel bad about the fact that how simple Alex is not understanding the meaning behind it, completely ignorant by the fact that he was doing this all for the purpose.
Alex knew very well how scary and possessive FL is, So he was prepared for that in advance because no matter how high the favorability of ML is for another party, once her ML cheats or comes in any contact with another woman, She will break the relationship.
This is the route Alex painfully knows about as this brain-dead thing happens in too many dog-blood romance novels, But because of his precautions she can feel these emotions but she could not help but to forgive him.
This way, Alex can make her watch him flirting around with another woman without facing the consequences of it. Not only that this way he can even numb strong emotions in Sandra, So she will not react to that extent seeing him with another woman.
"Forget about that shop assistant, Tell me why Xin Yan even comes close to me in medical qualification? She is lower than me, that's why I got her position of head of the medicine department from her."
Liza could not care about Sandra struggling there with her emotions, She was more concerned about the blasphemy Alex committed by putting Xin Yan equal to her.
She knew what level of knowledge Xin Yan actually is in the field but that's the reason why she knew she stood no chance against her, So she did not want to be compared to someone who was not equal to her.
Which in her eyes no one is, As her medical maniac talent makes sure of it, Maybe only a protagonist or another heroine in a medical stream can stand a chance against her no one else.
"Well, I know Xin Yan quite well, Plus She has more experience in this field than you, Even though she is 10 years younger than you-"
| "Hearsay!! I was busy managing the family business and not wasting my time, Plus she is just a few years younger than me, not 10, I don't care what argument you have but this is my truth."
Alex wanted to strike once again but as the age factor came out Liza could not sit still, She quickly jumped and quickly represented her argument while completely ignoring facts that counter her.
She will not listen to anything related to her age, As she did not want to be called a predator or an old cow wanting to eat young grass, She is not old in the awakening field, So her argument is perfect from her point of perspective.
"Truth is a factual thing, It's have yours or min-"
"Alex, can you please argue with her in the car on our way towards the hospital? I need to see my mother now."
Alex wanted to go and broke the tsundere personality of Liza trying to come up but stopped midway as the anxious and hurried voice of Grace stopped him in his tracks
"I am so sorry Grace, Yes, We can do that first, All of you get in the car, Don't be shy think of Liza as a family."
Alex understands the eagerness of Grace even though he knew there can go nothing wrong with Gloria thanks to her heroine status but he can't say that to Grace, So he quickly pulled everyone in the car.
"Y-Yes don't be shy."
Liza was taken aback by their unexpected words from Alex. It hit her out of nowhere but she loved the fact that he see her as a family, So she threw all the dissatisfaction she had out of the window and unlocked the car to let them all in.
Though Sandra wanted to say more, Try harder to separate Grace from Alex but seeing it is not the right time obediently followed behind them in the car.
Xiao Bai like always followed Alex and get into a long car with Liza seated close to him, While on the other hand Grace, Liza and Sandra were seated in front of them as Liza's driver started the car.
After everyone was sat down, The car started its journey towards the hospital where most of Alex's problems and solutions lay.
