Chapter 976 He Is Jealous
Everyone in the room was specting about Elizabeth''s rtionship with Derek when they saw the
bouquet of flowers on her table. As Elizabeth didn''t like people gossiping about her, she threw the
bouquet into the trash can beside her emotionlessly. She then looked at her colleagues and said
coldly, "I have nothing to do with Derek. He was just joking when we were downstairs just now."
"Of course. Derek isn''t even your type. There''s no way you''d be interested in someone like him."
"That''s right. It''s impossible for Elizabeth and Derek to be together. Stop making fun of them," said
another.
"But the man in ck talking to Elizabeth downstairs was so tall and handsome. Elizabeth, could
you give me his phone number? I think that he would have a better character than Derek," said one
of her extroverted colleagues.
After thatment, many other female colleagues started bugging Elizabeth with questions about
Frank.

"Does he have a girlfriend? What does he do?"
Elizabeth was speechless by their boldness. She was stunned for a moment and under the
repeated questioning by her colleagues, she blurted out subconsciously, "Frank has a girlfriend."
The office suddenly became quiet.
The extroverted colleague looked disappointed and continued asking, "Are you Frank''s girlfriend? I
saw him pick you up after work recently."
Elizabeth regretted her words immediately. Why did she say that Frank had a girlfriend? Why was
she annoyed when there were so many girls interested in him?
"I''ll give you the details next time. I have something urgent to deal with now and I have to go. Bye,"
Elizabeth said hurriedly and escaped from the office. She ran downstairs nervously with her bag
and began cursing under her breath. Her mood worsened.
When she got out of the building, she saw that Frank was nowhere to be found.
"What are you looking for?"
All of a sudden, she heard a familiar voice call out to her. She spun around and found Frank
standing in front of her, holding a bunch of purple lcs in his hand.
It turned out, Frank had gone to buy some flowers! But why? Were they for her? Elizabeth felt her
heart race.
Although the bouquet was tied up simply with a blue ribbon, the flowers looked wonderful as they
were full of vitality. The purple and blue flowers were also clustered beautifully together. Elizabeth
was not expecting lcs from Frank as the lc season was about to end soon. She didn''t expect
him to find any, let alone buy her a bouquet.
"For you," Frank said gently as he handed her the lcs. He looked at Elizabeth for a moment and
realized that she might be confused by his actions. He didn''t want her to shy away, so he averted
his eyes and hurriedly came up with an excuse, "There was an olddy selling flowers nearby. The
weather''s so cold now and I didn''t want to see her freeze. So I just bought thest one to help her
knock off early."
Elizabeth came to her senses upon realizing that the lcs were just a kind gesture from Frank. She
took the bouquet of flowers and thanked him. She then turned to look at the old woman''s staggering
back and smiled. "Didn''t you say that it''s almost time for my appointment with my therapist?"
The atmosphere between the two gradually eased. Elizabeth had even begun to get used to Frank''s
thoughtfulness. He was always calm and thoughtful, and she found it difficult to be angry at him.
Even if they did quarrel, they could always make up quickly after the argument.
The clinic was not far from W Marks Studio, and they arrived just in time for the appointment.
"You two are so punctual," weed Salome Wilson as Frank and Elizabeth entered the clinic. She
was very impressed by their punctuality
Salome was Elizabeth''s therapist and a ssmate of Frank''s when they were in med school. Both
Salome and Frank had graduated with flying colors.
"Well, you do charge by the minute. We wouldn''t dare to bete," Frank joked. "I''ll wait for you
outside," he said as he turned to Elizabeth and left her in Salome''s care.
Salome nodded and showed Elizabeth into the consultation room.
After forty minutes of consultation, Salome smiled and congratted Elizabeth, "Your recovery is
going very smoothly. In fact, you don''t need toe here in person anymore if you''re busy in the
future. You can make an appointment for an online consultation instead."
Elizabeth looked out of the door subconsciously and felt much more rxed. She faced Salome
again and thanked her, "Thank you, Dr. Wilson. I felt confident about your treatment because you''ve
always been so encouraging. That must also be why I can recover so soon."
"It''s not a big deal. I''m just doing my job,"ughed Salome as she showed Elizabeth out of the
consultation room.
Frank was still waiting outside the room when they came out. Salome turned to him and said with a
smile, "Your patient is recovering well. There''s no need for her to make a trip down to my clinic
anymore as we can just move the consultation online. Also, please stop asking me about her
condition in the middle of the night. You''re wasting my precious sleeping time."
"Stop talking nonsense," grumbled Frank. He frowned and continued, "You are an adult now. You
should know that it''s wrong to spout nonsense."
It was obvious that Frank treated Salome differently from the others. Elizabeth could feel there was
a form of tacit understanding between them.
Elizabeth felt her heart sink all of a sudden. She looked at Salome and tried to keep her voice as
natural as possible, "May I know where to settle the bill?"
Salome grinned and patted Frank on the shoulder. "You''re Frank''s patient. With our rtionship,
you don''t have to pay," she said yfully.
Elizabeth was stunned by her reply. She turned and looked stiffly at Frank. What exactly was the
rtionship between the two of them?
