Chapter 143


    “Waiter!” Kingsley picked the menu up and called the waiter over to ease the awkwardness in the air.


    “Give me a spicy grilled salmon, spicy shoyu ramen, chilli crab…” Kingsley ordered all the food Alice


    loved when she was a kid. They were just poor children living in an orphanage back then, so feasts


    only came by during birthdays and festivals. “I hope you’ll like what I ordered, Dr. Kramer.” Kingsley


    was worried. It had been a decade since then, so Alice’s preferences could have changed.“I love it.” He


    still remembers my favorite food… She looked at him, trying her best not to cry.Kingsley teared up as


    well. Alice loved fish, but every time the orphanage gave them fish, Alice would always give Kingsley


    the fish, while she would just lick the fishbone. She even told him she liked fishbone. He was too young


    to see through her white lie, but every time he was reminded of what Alice did for him, he would feel


    touched. “A—”He rubbed his nose and was about to tell Alice who he was, but then someone remarked


    sarcastically, “Well, if it isn’t the pretty doctor. Fancy seeing you here for dinner.”The one who spoke


    was a curvaceous woman. She would have been a prettydypared to most people, but she was


    nothing around Alice. There was a guy standing beside her as well. They both had Hill Crest Hospital’s


    work IDs hanging from their necks.‘Jennifer Crawford, General Surgical. Resident doctor, Y2307’‘Brian


    Malkovich, General Surgical. Attending physician, Y2203’Jennifer pretended to cover her lips and


    smirked. “Whoops, forgot you’re not a doctor now. You’re just an unemployed woman who got


    fired.”Alice shot her an icy look. “Crawford, how many times must I tell you? I have nothing to do with


    Beau, so stay out of my way!” “You think I’m stupid?” Jennifer rolled her eyes. The anger on her face


    was palpable, and it felt as if it could melt the floor around her.She moved in with Beau a while ago and


    stayed for two weeks, but every time she asked to go exclusive, Beau would give her all kinds of


    excuses. In the end, Beau could not take it anymore. He told her he only loved Alice and only saw


    Jennifer as a fling.Love made Jennifer blind, and she believed his lies. She turned all her anger to


    Alice, thinking that she was the reason Beau did not love her. Since then, she kept trying to trip Alice


    up. Jennifer looked at Kingsley and crossed her arms. “I see you’re finding a boyfriend after getting


    fired? I thought you’re an aloof woman? Are you finally selling yourself out?”A frown furrowed Alice’sProperty ? N?velDrama.Org.


    brows. “Mind your tongue. Just because you love to ride a dick carousel doesn’t mean I do too.” She


    looked at Brian, who was beside Jennifer. “Dr. Malkovich has been trying his luck for a while, hasn’t


    he? Do you like how he tastes?” Alice shot back without mercy.“Why you…” Jennifer shivered in fury,


    pointing at Alice angrily. “Shut it, you b*tch! I’m going to kill you one of these days!”Kingsley would not


    stand for anyone insulting Alice. “One more word and I’ll rip your tongue out.” He had kept quiet


    because he knew Alice had a mean tongue, but he could not stay quiet when Jennifer was insulting


    Alice.“None of your business!” Jennifer looked at Kingsley and scoffed. “What a loser! You’re only


    brave enough to yell at a girl. Lay a finger on me and I’ll make you regret it!”A dark smile curled


    Kingsley’s lips. “Oh, I intend to do much more than justy a finger on you. I can mess you up easily.


    Wanna try?”The look Kingsley gave Jennifer made her shudder involuntarily. She took a step back and


    turned to Brian. “Dr. Malkovich, you want me to be your girlfriend right? I’ll date you if you teach this


    loser a lesson.”
