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 n


    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.


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    ''Jennifer Crawford, General Surgical.


    Resident doctor, Y23O7''


    ''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''s 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."
