Chapter 386
Amanda''s face was a picture of urgent concern as she looked at Chase. Swept up in the moment,
without a second thought, Chase blurted out, "Get in."
His affirmation sent Amanda''s heart racing, thumping wildly in her chest. She couldn''t help but curl
her fingers slightly, reaching for the passenger door.
Just as she was about to climb in, Chase said, "Sit in the back."
Amanda paused, then, with augh, said, "You forgot? I get carsick in the back. Remember back in
college?"
Chase didn’t look her way; his gaze was fixed in Sasha''s direction. When he saw Sasha hobbling
towards the gate, reaching out for a cab, he called out urgently, "Hurry up and get in."
Before Amanda could settle in, Chase floored the gas pedal and sped off. Startled, Amanda quickly
grabbed the handle, looking at him with a mix of annoyance and concern. "Hey, slow down. I get
motion sickness."
Chase seemed not to hear her at all. The car didn’t cken its speed. Only when they pulled up
beside Sasha did he hit the brakes hard. Rolling down the window, he shouted, "Sasha, keep
hobbling around, and your leg might never heal."
Hearing his voice, Sasha jerked her head up to see Amanda sitting inside the car, beaming at her.
She recognized this woman. It was Chase''s little protégée from the hospital, now a colleague.
They worked in the same department. She constantly shadowed him and affectionately called him
''senior.''
Rumors had been swirling around the hospital that the two were dating. Sasha’s mind shed back
to the excuse Chase had once given his grandfather for refusing a favor. He’d said he already had
someone special in his heart, someone who also worked in the hospital. So, the one Chase had
feelings for was Amanda.
At that thought, Sasha felt an inexplicable sting in her chest. Brushing her hair back with an air of
calm, she replied casually, "Thanks for the concern, Dr. Chase, but I''m not that fragile. I’ll be on my
way."

Chase, frustrated, clenched the steering wheel. "I’ll drive you. It''s rush hour, and it will be tough to
get a cab."
"No need, someone''s picking me up. I wouldn''t want to keep you from your enchantingpany,"
Sasha said with a casual smile that betrayed nothing unusual.
As Chase was about to exin, a sleek blue sports car pulled up beside Sasha. A strikingly
handsome young guy waved at him, "Sasha, hop in."
Limping, Sasha made her way over, climbed into the passenger seat, and the blue car zipped away
right before Chase''s eyes.
Amanda chuckled, looking at Chase, "Isn''t that Ms. Sasha from the hospital drama shoot? So she’s
with Jackson, the superstar, now, huh? That''s unexpected."
Chase was puzzled and turned to her. "Jackson the superstar?"
Amanda seemed surprised. "Yeah, the hotshot who just swept three major international awards?
He’s only 24 and skyrocketed to fame with one movie. He’s the industry’s top celeb right now. You
didn’t know?"
Hearing this, a frown creased Chase''s forehead, and his tone grew colder. "Why should I know
about him?"
With that, he started the car and drove onto the road, but his thoughts were stuck on the way that
guy had looked at Sasha. As a man, Chase knew what that look meant. He couldn’t shake the
feeling that the so-called superstar had unsavory intentions toward Sasha.
The idea of ''casting couch'' scenarios shed through Chase''s mind, causing tightness in his chest,
and inadvertently, he pressed harder on the elerator.
Amanda, sitting beside him, looked out the window, slightly confused. "Are we going the wrong
way? Isn’t this the way to your ce?"
A flutter of excitement ran through her. She thought maybe Chase wanted to take her home.
Everyone knew about Chase''s meticulousness in his profession, but his reputation for being a free-
spirited yboy outside the hospital was equally well-known. Frequenting nightclubs and bars had
be a staple for him.
