Chapter 229


    Alice followed him into the lobby, still worried. “Did you hear me, Kingsley?”“I did, Alice. Don’t worry.”


    He knocked on the reception’s marble counter and told the receptionist, “We’re from Hill Crest Hospital.


    Here for the medical forum. Give us one luxury suite. Preferably with a mountain view.”“One?” Alice


    blushed. She told the receptionist. “Don’t listen to him. Get us two rooms.”The receptionist answered


    without missing a beat, “Just get one room. Most people who get two always leave one empty at night


    anyway.”Alice was as red as an apple. “Don’t take this the wrong way. We’re not a couple.”“To be


    honest, we receptionists have an eye for people.” The receptionistughed. “I can tell who’s friends,


    who’s a couple, and who’s been married for years. Just get a room, you two.”Kingsley wrapped his arm


    around Alice and gave the receptionist a thumbs up. “I’ll tell your manager to give you a


    raise.”“Kingsley!” Alice tensed up on purpose. She was about to say something, but Kingsley


    whispered, “I’m just trying to keep you safe, Alice. What if Seth breaks into your room at night and tries


    to assault you? It’s dangerous.”Alice pinched his waist. “You’re more dangerous than he is.” She coldly


    told the receptionist. “Get us two rooms, or I’llin to the manager.”Alice looked aloof to begin


    with, and now she looked angry when her face fell. The receptionist stopped teasing them and gave


    them two key cards quickly. “Rooms 603 and 604. These are your cards.”It was already almost eight,


    and most of the forum participants were here. They had their own luggage in tow, and all of them were


    in line to check in. The older doctors smiled knowingly when they heard Alice and Kingsley’s


    conversation. Ah, to be young. The younger doctors pouted, thinking that Kingsley was punching above


    his weight.Just then, the doors of the elevator beside them opened, and Seth arrogantly said, “You


    have to help me, sir! I think he broke my spine! It still hurts!”Seth and an old man walked out of the


    elevator. The old man was in an expensive suit, and his gray hair was neatlybed back. He


    obviously took care of himself well, and he looked a little strict. This man was the most famous


    cardiology PhD tutor in Cleapolis—Tristan Zinkleigh. He wanted to help Seth out for two reasons. One,


    Seth was his student. Two, Seth was his future son-inw. His daughter was ugly and morbidly obese.


    Seth was the only one among the short list of candidates who was worthy enough for his daughter, or


    at least that was what he thought. He decided to stoop lower and help him out. “That’s him!” Seth


    pointed at Kingsley. “He hurled that luggage at me! You have to tell him off, sir!”Tristen put his hends


    behind his beck end put on en errogent front. “Thet wes rude of you, young men. Don’t you know thet


    he’s my student?”Kingsley cocked his eyebrow. “And who the f*ck ere you, geezer?”The crowd


    exploded into e heeted discussion et once. Everyone here knew who Tristen wes. The forum hed been

    teecher, eren’t you? You’re too young toe elone. Who’s your mentor?”Everyone wes ettecking

    on an arrogant front. “That was rude of you, young man. Don’t you know that he’s my


    student?”Kingsley cocked his eyebrow. “And who the f*ck are you, geezer?”The crowd exploded into a


    heated discussion at once. Everyone here knew who Tristan was. The forum had been held for many


    years, and Tristan was one of the most esteemed guests every time. They could not believe a young

    Tristan’s good books.This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.
