Chapter 284
Now the trio had made it to the second floor. The doctor who was leading the way pointed to the sofa
next to them and said.
N?velDrama.Org owns this.
“The operating room for Coco’s surgery is just over here; you can sit here and wait.”
After he spoke, he turned to Carlene.
“Ms. Shepard, we need about twenty minutes to prep the cat; you guys can…”
Not quite sure how to refer ton, Carlene took the opportunity to say, “He’s my boyfriend.”
The doctor gave a slight smile.
“You guys can sit on the couch in the other room. Please follow me. We’ll try to be as quick as
possible.”
When Carlene referred ton as her boyfriend, he shot a nce at Maja.
But Maja was just nervously staring at the operating room, seeming to not care about the title.
He lowered his head and followed Carlene into–the–other room.
Seeing that there was no interaction between the two, Carlene breathed a sigh of relief.
Once they sat down, she started asking questions again, “Did you notice the marks on Penny’s neck?
Did she often show up to work with these?”
What she was implying was that Penny and her husband had a great rtionship, and no one would
infringe on her marriage.n didn’t respond and just leaned back in his chair.
n, I’m asking you a question.”
Carlene’s tone was a bit flirtatious, “Did she often show up to work with these?”
There were more marks that time than this time.
“Just once.” He responded indifferently, seemingly uninterested in the topic.
But in Carlene’s eyes, this was proof of hisck of interest in Maja!
Carlene waspletely relieved, but then immediately worried again. Could those two strands of hair
have been left byn’s wife?
n, Holden Raymond probably really wants you and your wife to have kids.”
If you mentioned other women,n just didn’t care, but when you mentioned his wife, he clearly didn’t
like it.
His eyelids were lowered, and even his eyebrows expressed his distaste for that woman.
Carlene chuckled, recalling whatn had said at the hotel.
“Carlene, remember that we have not reconciled yet.”
Her smile slowly faded.
Now was a good opportunity.
Just as she was about to speak, the servant’s voice came from the doorway.
“Ms. Shepard, your father wants you to go home first. I will wait here; after the surgery is over, I will
bring the cat back.“”
Carlene’s smile vanishedpletely; she became serious and stared straight at the servant.
The servant was scared into lowering her head.
Carlene took a deep breath. She had been too busy trying to pleasen these past few days and had
indeed neglected her family affairs.
Her father probably knew she wasing to seen tonight and he must have wanted to ask if she
had been sessful.
“You go back first; I will wait here. Don’t let this happen again.”
She had just pped the servant out of anger, but now that she had calmed down, she felt it was
inappropriate.
After all,n was still here and he might think she was being too arrogant.
The pet hospital bathrooms were gender–separated, but only a few meters apart. The men’s and
women’s bathrooms were adjacent, with amunal–sink in the middle and a shared faucet.
Maja came out of the bathroom, stood in front of the sink, and squeezed some soap onto her hands.
There are many germs in a pet hospital, so she had to be very careful.
Just as she wasthering up the soap in her hands, a man came out of the men’s bathroom, stood next
to her, bent down slightly, and squeezed some soap into his hands as well.
Maja noticed that they were very nice hands.
Her heart gave a tiny flutter. She looked up at the mirror in front of her, and sure enough, it wasn.
He exuded a cool aura with a strong presence. His skin was as delicate as cold porcin, his hair was
glossy, his lips were bright red, and he always seemed to fill the room with his aura.
Maja quickly made sure to scrub each finger. She was about to put her hands under the faucet, but
So the water that flowed down passed through his fingers, and the soap suds from his hands all fell into
her palm.
Even though it was cold water, she felt her palm burning.
