Chapter 144 I Wanted to Pursue Her


    The man who stood transfixed in his colorful jacket was fully aware that everyone present came from a


    long line of influential people. Through their very assembly, they exuded intimidation. So he dared not


    offend them. He had to confess the truth immediately because this was the only right thing to do in this


    situation. "Well, it was Baron who told us, " he began politely, "to investigate Ang''s working life, and


    to escort her back to him... He told us his main attraction to her was that she seemed like the kind of


    person who knew how to have some fun...and so he wished to have fun... with her."


    "You''re lying I never said anything of the sort! Take it back this instant!" Baron convulsed rigorously


    from his bound position on the bed. He suddenly broke free with a jolt and stood up facing his user.


    Next, heunched into an attack of the man.


    Arvin issued amand to Kent by way of a cold re, and Kent set to peeling the two men apart.


    When the man had enough breathing-room again, and felt at ease to continue his ount, he said, "It


    was when we arrived at the hospital..." And from here, the man was at liberty to speak his truth, and he


    did so quiet calmly. Every wrongdoing Baron had done came to light in an unexaggerated manner so


    as to preserve the sanctity of the facts. When the man finished, everybody in the ward became like


    Roman statues, quiet and still.


    Who was right and who was wrong - the deliberation didn''t take long. It was obvious to everyone.


    Haley''s face turned pale; the heated stares fell like daggers on her son, but still, she had to do


    something to save his reputation and his dignity. "It doesn''t matter what he says, " she bargained, "she


    still should never push people intoke! It''s by a stroke of luck that my son was saved! Would you


    imagine what would have happened if no one came to rescue him? Would you condone murder? I, his


    mother, may never be able to see his face again!"


    "When she bes a murderer, she will be liable to apologize, " said Arvin with nerves of steel. "For


    now, she owes you nothing." There wasn''t a hint of contrition behind Arvin''s icy eyes, all thaty there


    was indifference and impartiality, and he didn''t give a toss over what other people thought. He said his


    piece, and finally dragged Ang out of the ward.


    They were followed shortly after by Teresa, and slowly the others filed out in twos.


    Left alone with Tessa, Parker, and Baron, Haley went berserk and smashed the cups and kettle. The


    ngor of the metal echoed throughout the corridor.


    Tessa walked towards Haley and mped her arm like a vice. "Mom, listen. You don''t have to be so


    mad, alright? Let''s just put it all behind us. There''s really no point getting angry."


    The point Tessa was tacitly hinting at was that Baron''s wrongs could not be disputed, that she had


    raised a bold son, and that it was time Haley epted that. Couldn''t she figure that out?


    No. Haley remained infuriated, with Arvin''s face burned deeply in her memory. It was because he had


    been the one who disgraced her son, he had be the hospital director, while Baronnguished in


    the mire. "No Tessa!" Haley yelled. "There is a point getting angry. Didn''t you see the arrogance behind


    Arvin? Oho, it must be a good feeling to know he beat his cousin and left him here disgraced while he


    takes all the gains and bes the hospital director! Honestly, he''s not the same boy I knew before,


    sheltering and abetting aplete stranger, choosing to publicly embarrass me, me of all people! It''s


    as if he didn''t know me. As if I weren''t his senior anymore!"


    Tessa''s face remained downturned during this outburst. Baron, who was still a junior in medical school,


    wasn''t allowed to run for the hospital directorship; he was too young and intractable. Besides, there


    was no way that Baron couldpete with Arvin in a battle of intellect or strategy. Everyone knew


    Arvin was the man for the job. To protect the prestige of the hospital''s image, it wouldn''t do any good to


    feed Baron''s ego and say he could run. It would be a huge mistake, and a perversion of standards.


    Of course, Tessa didn''t know this. All she''d grown up with was the fact that she was lesser and Baron


    was superior. She kept her thoughts at bay whenever it came to family politics. All she felt suitable to


    say was that her mother need not feel so angry. She tried tofort Haley, "Mom, take a seat, please.


    We''ll get you something to drink. Tea or water, or something."


    Her mother nced at the smashed cups and the broken kettle; there would be no beverages. Parker


    stepped forward to have his say. He red down into the bed that Baron sank into, and said, "Baron, I


    hope you think about what you''ve done. You''vepletely embarrassed me and your mother."


    "Hey, like I said, I liked Ang, and I wanted to pursue her, " said Baron yfully. "I didn''t expect her to


    react so violently!" But Baron''s defense was weak.


    Haley''s anxiety was aroused when she heard this. She immediately jumped out of the chair and


    scolded Baron, "You can forget all about that. You have to quit ying love games with her. Marry a


    woman who can help with your career, like Nita. Ang isn''t even a doctor, and she''s a little hussy


    anyway. She has no future!"


    Little did they know that Ang was actually well on her way to developing the next super drug in the

    Research and Development department.


    "Mom! Nita is so boring; I''m a catch, so how could I marry a woman like her? Even Arvin detests her!"


    Nita? Baron despised Nita. A woman even Arvin, his sworn enemy, had no relish for was way out of his


    league.


    "I didn''t mean Nita exactly. I''m just making aparison. Nita is nine years older than you. I just mean


    someone like her. Of course I won''t let you marry her!" Haley rolled her eyes at Baron.


    Baron responded in a low voice, "I don''t like boring tough women. I like them soft."


    Yes, he preferred some girl who was soft, pliable, and fine-looking...a girl like… Ang! Those cute,


    hot and pretty girls! If Ang was willing to be his girlfriend, he would forget all about those silly things


    that she had done to him.


    In the hallway of the VVIP Inpatient Department


    Some nurses passing by were shocked when they saw Arvin holding Ang''s arm. Though they had


    heard about all the rumors between these two, it was quite astonishing when seeing it in person.


    The stalwart, grey, serious Arvin going out with Ang…


    They were a perfect couple, it was undeniable.


    But because she was shy, Ang ran to the elevator after Arvin with her head down.


    Behind them walked Teresa and Nita. Seeing the atmosphere between them was so harmonious,


    Teresa sighed in secret.


    Arvin had made so many concessions for Ang. Before Ang, Teresa never saw Arvin with a girl,


    not to mention holding them in arms.


    Usually, Arvin walked everywhere with Kent and Adam. But after Ang''s appearance in his life, Kent


    and Adam were seldom seen beside him.


    When the door of the elevator closed, Ang raised her head and said to Arvin with admiration, "Big


    wing, you''re terrific!"


    Arvin smiled at her, "Remember to call me if something like this happens again."


    He considered paying for more security guards, asking them to patrol the hospital from now on.


    "I''m fine. And Sven has assigned some bodyguards to me." But when she thought she could solve the


    problem, she wouldn''t ask the bodyguards to take care of it for her. She would always like to solve her


    own problems using Kung Fu.


    "Don''t try to solve your problems alone next time. If you meet someone like Baron again, tell the


    bodyguards to drive him away. I will take care of the rest for you." The door of the elevator pinged


    opened, and they walked out.


    "OK, I will." Ang hurriedly promised him. To avoid bringing trouble on Arvin, she had to start using


    the bodyguards!


    After leaving Arvin, Ang hummed and skipped along to the Research and Development department.


    Arriving, someone was there demanding her to stop and turn around.


    Ang turned back, it was Professor Cheng. It was strange; he usually ignored her, why did he call her


    now?


    Ang greeted him politely enough, with a confused look on her face.


    "Tell me, did you invent this?" he demanded of her immediately, skipping such pleasantries. He took


    out a ss bottle behind his back.


    There was blue liquid inside it. Yes, Ang had to admit she was familiar with it; it was the fruit of her


    "Professor Cheng, how could you take my belongings without my permission?"


    But he didn''t feel ashamed or embarrassed, instead, he put the ss bottle into his pocket and waved


    at her.


    "Tell me, how did you go about inventing this? What inspired you, hmm?"


    It was totally imprudent for a professor to act so interrogatory to Ang. "I won''t tell you!" she said,


    inciting his anger. "It''s business secret!" If she finished it, she would be able to apply for another


    fortuitous patent!


    Stevens Cheng thought for a while, "It''s okay if you refuse to tell me. But if you have any questions,


    don''t expect any answers from me anymore."


    Now Ang felt embarrassed, because she had just asked him a question before she went to see


    Baron.
