One Night Surprise Chapter 323
Chapter 323 There Are Some Things That I Can’t Find Out
As the male doctor spoke, he handed Courtney a white handkerchief. “This is clean; it hasn’t been
used.”
Courtney thanked him and took the handkerchief to wipe her face before she exined, “No, I just sent
an injured person over, so I thought to stay and help.”
“But you seem rather skillful at it. Are you a medical student?”
Courtney looked young, but her pink coat and her hair that was put up when she was helping around
made her seem especially like a student today.
Upon hearing that, she shook her head and denied, “I’m not a medical student.” The light in her eyes
dimmed when she said that.
“I don’t think so.” On the contrary, the male doctor had a gleam in his gaze. “You must have studied
medicine. Judging from your skills and the way you assessed the patient’s injuries, I’m a hundred
percent positive that you studied medicine. Which hospital are you working in? We are in the industry
where we save lives, so any hospital makes no difference.”
“I’m really not a medical student,” Courtney repeated helplessly. “I supposed that those who got injured
in the ident at the elevated bridge are all here. I should leave. You should head in to assist them.”

Only then did the doctor return to his senses and hop off the ambnce. After taking two steps, he
suddenly turned and asked, “Do you mind giving me your number?”
Before Courtney could even answer, a deep male voice was heard from behind the doctor. “Courtney,
I’ve been looking for you for some time. Let’s head home.”
Stunned, the male doctor looked back and found a slender figure that was taller than him by at least
half a head. Although the man was half a meter away, he exuded an imposing aura.
Well, this is not surprising. A beautiful and kind woman like her must have been taken! The dispirited
male doctor then sighed and left the scene.
Meanwhile, Courtney, who was standing at the back door of the ambnce, felt a tightness in her chest
the moment sheid her eyes on Alexander and she instantly straightened her back.
She had a shocked look in her eyes as she didn’t expect him to show up here. “Why are you here?”
Alexander stepped forward and didn’t exin much. “Let’s go home. We can talk after you get changed
and eat.”
Courtney lowered her head and saw the blood stains on her clothes, so she nodded.
The two of them avoided bringing up the disagreement that had happened in the hotel that morning,
keeping quiet throughout their way home in the cab.
As soon as they arrived home, Courtney took a set of clean clothes and entered the bathroom. The
smell of hospital disinfectants and blood on her coat was gradually reced by the fragrance of the
shower gel in the bathroom.
Warm water rinsed away the foam on her back, and she seemed to fall in a daze.
She suspected that Alexander might want to talk to her about breaking up, since he had mentioned
before he left the hotel in the morning that whether they break up or not would be his decision to make.
When Courtney opened the door to exit the bathroom after showering, she was greeted by the smell of
food. She was stunned for a second before she headed out of the room while wiping her hair.
There were many dishes on the dining table.
“Sit down and eat.” Alexander took two bowls from the kitchen and served her a bowl of soup.
Bemused, she raised her head and nced at the clock that had both hands at the number twelve. “It’s
12.00 AM. Are we having supper?”
“It’s dinner.” He handed her a fork and a spoon as he asked, “Have you eaten dinner?”
She shook her head, quietly sipping her soup with her head bowed before she mumbled, “How did you
know?”
“Natasha told me.”
“That girl is quite loquacious, isn’t she?” Courtney frowned and added, “What else did she tell you?”
“She said that the patient who died in the operating room after the doctors failed to save her isn’t you.”
Courtney froze. She slowly lifted her head.
The ceiling lights were not switched on, so the only light source was the standing light beside the dining
table. The dim lighting, coupled with the fact that Alexander had been keeping his head bowed the
whole time, caused her to not realize that his eyes were bloodshot, resembling someone who had been
staying up for a long time without resting.
“What happened?” She was confused, but she could roughly gauge the reason he had shown up at the
hospital.
Alexander drew a deep breath. “Eat first. We’ll talk after you eat.”
“Talk about what?” Courtney was anxious as she thought, About us breaking up?
“About all the problems we have had between us ever since we met. We’ll talk things out and
everything will be fine.”
“What if things don’t work out between us?” She sat up straight, looking at him with her brows furrowed.
After a moment of hesitation, she blurted the question. “Are you going to break up with me?”
Her gut instincts told her that Alexander was acting way too calm at the moment, and his extreme
calmness made her feel scared.
The words ‘break-up’ were uttered in a loud and clear manner, causing an obvious crease to appear
between Alexander’s brows as he tried to conceal the hint of rage in his eyes.
“Eat first.” He wanted to talk to her about everything but breaking up.
“I’m not hungry.” She frowned, insisting on listening to what he had to say first.
However, the moment she said that, Courtney could hear her stomach uncooperatively making a weird
sound. It sounded particrly clear in the empty room, so she coughed once awkwardly.
Alexander darted her a nce and turned to serve her a bowl of rice. “Eat.”
Screw him and whatever he has to say! Courtney sighed inwardly. Let’s break up, then. I’m tired of
exining. Filling my stomach is my top priority now.
Her body was so honest that it exposed everything. She had skipped her lunch at noon and James had
pissed her offter in the afternoon, so she had been starving for quite some time now. Hence, she
gobbled down the food on the table and almost cleared all the food and even the soup.
Burping, she looked down and rubbed her tummy in satisfaction. “I’m full. You can say whatever you
want to say.”
Upon hearing that, Alexander looked at her. “You should know that if I wish to know anything, I don’t
have to ask you directly, because I can find out anything I want.”
His attitude made Courtney frown and a hint of displeasure bubbled inside her.
He had always been arrogant and opinionated ever since she first knew him. The concept of ‘respect’
was insignificant to him as he seemed to not have the term in his dictionary.
“However, I don’t wish to find out about you from others.” The twist in this conversation was rather
unexpected. Feeling rather surprised, she looked at him.
“To be honest, when ites to things that involve you, I’d prefer that you personally tell me and share
everything with me. I won’t investigate the matter even if you’re unwilling to tell me, although there are
certain things that I won’t be able to find out even if I do so.”
Courtney balled her fists, suddenly feeling anxious.
“Whether you have ever loved any man other than me, how much you care about me, or why the first
thing you consider whenever something happens is to give up on our rtionship—these are questions
that I couldn’t find out the answers to.”
At that moment, Alexander was sitting opposite her. He had always maintained a cold expression that
made him seem perfectly calm andposed. Nheless, tiny cracks appeared in his gaze at the
moment.
The cracks signified the love of his life, and they were his only weakness that he willingly revealed to
the world.
“You asked me what I want to talk to you about. I think that the answer that you considered the most is
breaking up, but this topic that keeps lingering in your head is the only thing that I’ve never considered.”
Courtney’s expression tensed when she heard that. Staring nkly at Alexander, she was unable to
say even a word.
