Chapter 775


    Early in the morning, Mark was already awake. In fact, he got up even earlier than Morgan.


    As soon as Morgan came out of his bedroom, he saw Mark seated in the living room downstairs,


    but Mark''s gaze was fixated on the stairs as if he was waiting for someone.


    Curiously, Morgan asked, "Dr. King, why are you up so early? Was it that you didn''t sleep wellst


    night?"


    As Morgan spoke, he poured Mark a cup of strong coffee.


    Slowly, Mark took the cup and sipped the coffee. "Morgan, what time is it? Why isn''t Vincent awake


    yet?"


    "He went to bedtest night, so it is normal for him to sleep in this morning. Dr. King, do you have


    something urgent to tell him?"


    Of course, Mark was anxious, because he wanted to ask Vincent how was his sleep the night


    before. However, Mark no longer had the patience to wait for Vincent toe downstairs.


    In the end, Mark could not sit still anymore. "I''ll go up and see if he''s awake."


    Although Morgan wanted to stop Mark, he didn''t manage to do it, so he hurriedly reminded Mark,


    "Dr. King, remember not to make any noise and don''t wake him up."


    Immediately, Mark made an OK gesture back at Morgan and strode toward the guest room. Quietly,


    Mark opened the door and peeped inside as if he were a thief. Although Mark couldn''t see clearly,


    he could faintly see ine and Vincent hugged each other in bed while they were sleeping.


    When Mark saw that scene, he was speechless.


    Astonished, Mark wondered how Vincent was still asleep. In fact, Vincent was a light sleeper, and


    he had never allowed any loud movements in his house. Besides, Mark had just strode upstairs,


    and he even opened the door quietly, but Vincent didn''t wake up at all!


    Confused, Mark was about to close the door and head downstairs when Ruben patted him on the


    shoulder and asked, "Mark, what are you doing? Why are you sneaking around?"


    Shocked, Mark''s hand trembled, and he identally mmed the door. Before the door was shut,


    Mark seemed to notice a figure on the bed moved.


    Oh no, Vincent was awake.


    Although Vincent had insomnia, he was also a lunatic that had a bad temper whenever he got up


    from the wrong side of the bed!


    What''s more, Vincent''s bad temper was always terrifying!


    Hurriedly, Mark dragged Ruben and ran downstairs as if he was running for his life.


    Meanwhile, Ruben was in a daze.


    Anxiously, Mark sat on the sofa and asked, "I identally woke Vincent up. Do you think he will kill


    me when hees downter?"


    At that moment, Ruben almost spat out a mouthful of coffee that he drank. "Ahem, are you crazy?


    Why did you go and peep on him while he was sleeping?"


    "I was just curious. I mean... you know that he has insomnia, and he can''t fall asleep without the


    help of his medicine. Butst night, you suddenly told me that his insomnia had been cured. Of


    course, I would want to see it with my own eyes..."


    Suddenly, Mark fell silent.


    Slowly, Ruben followed the direction of Mark''s gaze. As expected, Ruben saw Vincent in his


    pajamas as he slowly walked down the stairs.


    Immediately, Mark reclined in his seat and didn''t dare to say a word.


    When Ruben saw that Mark was acting so cowardly, Ruben kindly helped Mark to ask, "Vincent,


    how was your sleepst night?"


    With a faint expression, Vincent nced at Mark. Terrified, Mark swallowed a mouthful of saliva.


    However, Vincent didn''t seem angry. Instead, he smiled faintly and said, "It was not bad."


    It was then that Mark couldn''t help but ask, "You really didn''t take any medicine?"


    "Hmm?" With a slightly raised tone, Vincent replied, "Do you want me to repeat what I''ve just said?"


    Repeatedly, Mark waved his hand, "Okay, fine. I believe you. Don''t talk to me in that tone!"


    Clearly, Mark was afraid!


    Then, Vincent called Morgan over and instructed, "Prepare a set of new clothes for ine to


    change. Get the servant to bring them upstairs and wait outside the guest room. She should be


    awake by now."


    Hurriedly, Morgan went to do as Vincent said.


    In the meantime, after ine took a shower, she changed into the set of clean clothes given by the


    servant and stood in front of the mirror. However, she felt a little ufortable when she looked at


    herself in the mirror.


    The clothes that ine had were simple, and she had never worn such fancy clothes. In fact, just


    by touching the fabric of the clothing, ine could already figure that the clothes were expensive.


    Last night, she had already troubled Dr. Perkins to bring her home, and today she had to trouble


    him to spend so much money to buy her clothes...


    It would be a lie if ine were to say that she was not touched. Indeed, Dr. Perkins was really a


    kind man, and he was the best person she had ever met in her life.

    Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and the servant''s voice was heard, "Miss Jacob, are you


    done?"


    Immediately, ine went to open the door. "I''m ready."


    With a smile, the servant said, "Let''s head down for breakfast then. Mister and the rest are waiting


    for you."


    At once, ine followed the servant out of the room.


    After ine walked out of the room, she realized that this was a vi with a huge and luxurious


    layout, and the decoration was also full of exquisiteness.


    The moment ine headed downstairs, she saw at a nce that Dr. Perkins was in the living room


    reading a newspaper. However, as ine was about to greet him, she saw two other men.


    One was Mr. Lawson, which ine had met before, but the other was a stranger whom she had


    never met.


    The first to notice ine was Morgan, as he said, "Miss Jacob is here."


    Although Morgan seemed to be about the same age as ine''s grandfather back in her hometown,


    Morgan was in good spirits, and he had a warmplexion. At that moment, he was looking at


    ine with a smile, but he seemed curious.


    Meanwhile, ine was a little confused.


    Who... were those people?


    It has been more than a year since she had served Dr. Perkins, but she had never seen these


    people.


    Just as ine was trying to figure things out, Ruben ran over and exined to her, "ine, this is


    Morgan. You can just address him by his name."


    Obediently, ine greeted Morgan, and he responded with a smile.


    Then, Ruben introduced Mark to ine and told her that he was also a doctor. Politely, ine


    greeted, "Nice to meet you, Dr. King.".


    However, Mark stared at ine as if she was an alien.


    Completely at a loss, ine stood frozen while Mark stared at her.


    Immediately, Ruben kicked Mark in private. It was to signal Mark no to go too far and not to stare at


    ine with such a weird gaze, or else he would end up scaring her.


    Only then did Mark stop staring at ine.


    In the end, the few of them headed to the dining table to have breakfast together. It was only then


    that ine had the chance to ask, "Dr. Perkins, where is this ce? I''ve been working at your ce


    so long, and I didn''t expect you to own a vi."


    "Ahem!"


    Suddenly, Mark coughed, which caused ine to look at him with puzzled eyes.


    Again, Ruben kicked him from under the table. As Mark''s face turned red from holding back the


    pain, he exined, "I... I can''t take spicy food."


    Straightforwardly, ine said, "But... these dishes aren''t spicy at all."


    That response left Mark tongue-tied.


    Quickly, Ruben diverted ine''s attention and answered, "ine, this old vi belongs to the


    Perkins Family, so it''s normal for that you don''t know about it. As for the apartment located in the


    center of the city, Howard got it because it is convenient for him to get to work, so he has been living


    there all the time."


    Then, ine nodded and said, "Oh, so that''s what it is."


    "Indeed." Ruben said with a smile.


    When Mark looked at Ruben, who lied with a straight face, he was speechless.


    Also, what was wrong with ine? How could she believe Ruben so easily?


    A momentter, Mark couldn''t help but say, "Miss Jacob, when we''re done with breakfast, I''ll help


    you examine your wounds. Last night, you had already fallen asleep, so I didn''t manage to examine


    your wound."


    However, ine blurted out, "Oh, it''s okay, Dr. King. Dr. Perkins can help me with that."


    Since Howard was also a doctor, he would definitely know how to examine her wound too.


    Cheekily, Mark looked at Vincent and said, "Since you can examine her wound, I''ll head home back


    after breakfast then."


    Immediately, Vincent said ndly without even looking, "You''re a surgeon, and it would more


    suitable for you to do it, so stay and examine her wound."


    At that moment, Mark was at a loss of words.


    How treacherous of Vincent! In just a second, he returned the ball to Mark.
