Mr George, Don't Be So Arrogant

Chapter 27 A Slap in Her Face



Spoilt his plan?

Riley muttered in her mind, had she done anything to spoil his plan?

So, what he meant was that she had annoyed Lydia and that woman had made complaints so the elders of the George family had put pressure on him?

If this was really the case, she had indeed committed a wrong deed.

Riley looked at the front. The lights of the ever-bright city were shining brightly and the city was full of prosperity.

"It seems that I've really made a big unforgivable mistake. Lydia went to the hospital to find me today and we indeed had a quarrel. As to how she describes this matter to others, I don't know. But, I never have the intention to hurt her."

The tone was not light and not heavy, very much in line with Dr. Watson's usual style. Even her slight disdain feeling during the tone switching while speaking was so calm that it irritated him.

A trace of anger appeared on Euan's face imperceptibly. How could she be so calm when she was talking about Lydia?

"She went to the hospital? For what?" The person in the driver's seat coldly asked.

This time, Riley was surprised, "What? You don't know that she went to the hospital? She comes to do the maternity check-up, you..."

"Why should I know?"

His tone was still indifferent and cold as if Lydia had no relationship with him at all. Eh? Shouldn't Euan be very concerned about his child's mommy?

"Lydia is expecting your baby, shouldn't you care about her? She's now a pregnant woman and perhaps she's expecting the eldest grandson of the George family. Mr. George apparently cares too little about your own child?"

Her red lips opened and closed and she asked about the matter that she cared about the most with an indifferent attitude.

She actually looked forward to hearing him make his stand clear on the spot, but.....

Euan's hand that was holding the steering wheel tightened inadvertently and he frowned. Damn woman! Why must you always show your disdain so obviously?

"I care about my own child, of course! I don't need you to remind me of this!"

Instantly, the icy-cold tone completely broke the calmness maintained just now. Riley's heart throbbed and her hand that was holding the seat belt was forcefully clenched.

"Since you care so much, why does Mr. George waste time on me? When Lydia gives birth to the child of the George family, you will marry..."

"Riley!"

Riley was scared by Euan's sudden and cold yell. She shut her mouth.

Euan was infuriated.

"It isn't your part to tell me what I should do."

After a stiff and cold yell, his tone became colder again.

Yeah, she was not eligible to tell him what he should do. Then what was his purpose to bring her to let her get in his car?

The car was moving on the brightly lit road with a speed that was neither too fast nor too slow. The pressure in the car was very low. Riley had uncontrollably looked at Euan several times but his angular face was taut so she simply could not see any emotion on his face.

Since he did not say anything, she certainly did not want to take the initiative to break the silence. Riley only wanted to quickly escape from the oppressive atmosphere that made her hardly breathed.

To Riley's astonishment, Euan car surprisingly stopped outside the shopping mall. She raised her eyes and saw that there were many people in the Hang Lung Building in JD City. She could not help but frown. "What for you bring me here?"

Coldly, Euan glanced with some disgust at the woman beside him, "To buy something."

The three words went into Riley's ears like an iron hammer. However, this time, Riley was exceptionally dumbstruck.

To buy something? Euan surprisingly came to the shopping mall to buy something?

Riley had not regained her presence of mind from the shock. Euan handed a gold card to her, "You're right, I should care more about my child and my woman!"

Riley's eyes abruptly widened, "You..."

"So, I'm going to find Lydia tonight. I think you should be very good at choosing the gift to be given to her."

What?! The reason he let her come to the shopping mall was to make use of her to buy a gift for Lydia?!

Riley's face turned blue, pale and darkened in turn. Finally, a trace of usual redness still appeared on her face. Was her heart feeling painful? Of course, it was. But, it was unnecessary.

"What kind of gift does Mr. George want to buy?" Riley held the bank card so tightly that the card was almost broken. As she had used too much force, the bone shapes of her fingers could be clearly seen. She felt a forceful slap in her face!

Euan spoke with an appallingly icy tone without even looking at her, "That's a gift for my child's mother, what do you think?"

Riley pursed her lips silently. Her heart was aching but she showed a pleasant smile on her face, "Okay! I got it!"

Riley opened the car door and strode to the entrance of the mall. After she entered the glass doors, she slowly let out the breath that was contained in her chest. After letting it out, she realized that the strong inner strength that she had just now was gone.

That was not the answer she wanted.

A deep and angry frown creased Euan's forehead after seeing Riley's figure disappear from his sight. His fist came down on the steering wheel with a bang!

Damn woman!

Were you really looking forward that much to kicking me out of your life? Were you really looking forward that much to divorcing me?!

Good, very good, I would let you wait and see!

Riley strolled inside the mall. Ugh! Didn't he let her buy something for Lydia? She would definitely choose and buy it properly, of course!

After buying more than a dozen women's products altogether, Riley carried the plastic bags and prepared to walk back to the car. Euan, tonight, I would let you gain honour in front of Lydia. At the same time, I would wish you two always be in love and become old together!

While walking back, Riley saw a store that sold imported goods. Uncontrollably, her legs moved into the store.

With only a glance, she saw the toothpaste with the green package that was one of the brands from France. Euan had said that he did not like the toothpaste at home and had asked her to buy one back... But, why should she help him! He was going to another woman's house!

"Miss, the stock of this toothpaste has just been replenished today. You really come at good timing. Do you need me to wrap it up?"

Riley blurted out uncontrollably, "Yes."

Damn!

After seeing Riley walk out of the mall entrance with two arms full of shopping bags, Euan frowned again. This woman, damn!

Riley put the gifts in the trunk and clapped her hands, "Since you're going to find her, I don't think you need to give me a free ride. Euan, wish you a wonderful night!"

Euan gazed sharply at Riley. The sharpness in his eyes was so intense that he could not wait to tear her apart!

"You, very good!"

After the stern yell, the black car sped away!

Riley returned to the villa, kicked off her shoes and walked barefoot on the carpet. The villa was empty and was so quiet that even the sound of breaths could be heard.

It was indeed terribly lonely.

Riley simply packed up her things and as she had to go to the hospital early to work tomorrow, she went upstairs and prepared to hit the hay.

But, when she turned around and saw the bag, she remembered the toothpaste she bought. Then, she frowned and opened the carton. Thinking for a while, she decided to take it to the bathroom upstairs. After putting it down, Riley's thought changed. She moved all the toiletries used by Euan to the bathroom of the first floor in a fit of anger. Since you were going to find Lydia, then it would be better that I divided the things between you and I clearly.

After doing everything, Riley lay on the bed. Her phone screen showed 10.30 p.m. There was no movement outside so she felt that he was really not coming back tonight.

Euan came in from outside and saw that all the lights in the villa had been switched off. He parked the car and entered the door. Once he lowered his head, he saw the shoes Riley wore during the day were placed improperly at the front door. His tightly furrowed brows unconsciously relaxed.

The living room looked luxurious after the crystal chandelier was lit up. Euan casually threw the car keys on the table and strode upstairs.

He reached out and pushed the door of the bedroom. His brows that were relaxed frowned again.

This woman had surprisingly locked the door?

Euan, who was forced to surrender, stared at the door in a bad mood for a minute. As expected, this woman was determined to make his life difficult!

What made Euan even angrier was that all his toiletries were surprisingly in the bathroom of the first floor!

Shit!

Riley, you were looking for death!

Euan, who was so angry that he wished to stab someone to death, grabbed the toothbrush and squeezed the toothpaste. He froze, when was it changed?

Just like that, Riley and Euan gave each other the silent treatment. After waking up in the morning, Riley prepared the breakfast but she did not say a word while eating.

The consequence of this was that Euan did not return to the villa that night. At the same time, the news that he and Lydia were lovey-dovey appeared in the newspaper again. What I thought was true! His heart absolutely belonged to Lydia.

Riley dropped the newspaper and focused fully on her work to cover up the great pain in her heart.

In the JD Central Hospital three days later.

"Dr. Watson, the patient who has just finished doing the heart bypass surgery suddenly has a cardiac arrest, Dr. Smith asks you to go over to take a look!"

A nurse ran directly to Riley's office. The nurse's excessive nervousness made her forgot Riley's cold aura for a moment. She grabbed Riley's sleeves and ran out. Riley took the stethoscope, hung it on her neck and sprinted to keep up with the nurse, "How is the situation?"

Serena's mouth slowly enlarged, "Holy crap! Don't tell me that the nurses in our hospital think that Dr. Watson has changed personality after receiving a silk banner?" Margot was also dumbfounded, "Since when do surgeons need our help to handle the patients? Is Dr. Watson going to work as a surgeon and an internist simultaneously?!"

Riley strode to the ward on the eighth floor. Three surgeons were already standing inside. The doctor as the leader was defibrillating the patient but there was still no heartbeat data on the instrument. Riley moved to the front of them and reached out to open the patient's eyelids, "Prepare for the cardiac compression! Quick!"

After the male doctor on the side heard the order, he hurriedly clasped his hands to press the patient's chest. When Riley saw that the situation was urgent, she coldly yelled, "Adrenaline 5 mA, inject from the right vein!"

The nurse whose hands were trembling took the infusion set and fumbled around for a while but still could not find the blood vessel. Riley grabbed the infusion set from her hand and the needle was accurately pointed to the patient's vein. She slowly did the compression.

"The patient has heartbeats again!"

"Dr. Watson is awesome!"

Riley let out a breath and looked at the nurse who was scared just now, "Newcomer?"

The nurse lowered her head, "I...I've just come here to intern, I...I'm sorry."

Riley did not say anything to her anymore and turned to look at Robert, "Try not to place intern nurses in the emergency room. If she's totally scared, her career life in the future will be ruined."

Robert rubbed the sweat on his forehead, "What Dr. Watson says is true, I'll arrange it immediately."

"The patient's cardiac arrest is caused by excessive nervousness. Inject the patient with a sedative to stabilize his emotions first, and if there is no certain problem after ten hours of observation, the patient can be transferred to a general ward."

"Okay, okay, thank you, Dr. Watson."

Riley nodded and walked out of the ward.

The figure in white walked coolly in the corridor. The black high heels produced clear sounds when touching the floor. After a dozen steps, a clear man's voice suddenly came from the place behind her.

"Dr. Watson."

Riley stopped walking and turned her head. A thin and clean figure was standing in front of her. There was an outstanding temperament when he was in the simple white coat. Although he was just standing, his temperament would make others felt comfortable as if there was a spring breeze.

There was a gentleness in the man's eyes. His long fingers were pinching the folder of a medical record. He looked inexpressibly elegant and noble.

However, Riley did not know who was he, "You are?"☐☐☐☐☐☐
