Chapter 79 Her Appearance Makes Me Lose My Appetite
Freya covered her face and left angrily, creating a huge gap for the two.
Hendrix was very pleased with that.
Before eating, Riley was already half full, sitting on the dining table while fidgeting the cutleries, “Mr.
George, why do you dislike her so much? Slapping her just now might have gone over the line.”
Hendrix laughed. He ate the medium steak which still had a bit of blood on it and smiled indifferently,
“Do I need a reason to dislike someone? If I must find a reason, her appearance makes me lose my
appetite.”
Puff! Riley laughed on the opposite side, “What kind of reason was that?”
Hendrix's appetite increased, so he ate a lot, “Even if Freya is your little sister from another mother, she
didn't look like you at all... No matter how, she doesn't look pleasing to my eye. People with a low IQ
that still wants to scheme others sooner or later will die on their own.”
“We are not biologically related, we have different mothers, and different fathers too,” Riley explained
briefly like she's eager to clear up such relation.
Hendrix chewed the steak with slight exaggeration, “Oh... Then I shouldn't have slapped her just now.”
Riley's expression changed, “Why?”
“I should've just kicked her! My hand hurts after slapping her.”
Riley just smiled without stating anything, while chewing her lunch slowly. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
“But will she avenge you for my slap just now? She gazed at you like she wanted to revenge when she
left.”
“Now you're scared? It's fine, I've handled all her tricks, she can come to me anytime for revenge.”
“You're so bold! Come, cheers... Grape juice”
Cough, cough, cough! That's because they need to drive.
Returning to the hospital after that meal, Riley was told to join in on a patient's treatment plan, the
Internal Medicine and Surgical Department had their own saying... Considering the difficulty of the
surgery and the patient's health situation, the Internal Medicine Department didn't recommend surgery.
“I'm worried that the patient won't survive after the surgery in such condition.”
One of the doctors from the Internal Medicine Department said that.
“That's right, the OM-BRANCH is in a bad position, it'll be very difficult to see the coronary artery on the
leftmost side of the heart.” Riley quickly imagined the most possible situations after opening the
pericardium, she almost blurted it out.
Once she said that, the doctors from the Internal Medicine Department were dumbfounded. The
doctors from the Surgery Department on the opposite side were also dumbfounded.
Riley didn't notice her colleagues' gazes. She kept elaborating on technical difficulties that would
happen during the surgery...
“Although there are slight pathological changes in the coronary arteries and mitral valves, the use of
medicine can delay the deterioration. If the patient undergoes an operation, with that problem just now
and the patient’s own fitness, he won't survive after the surgery even if there's a slight error in the
cardiopulmonary bypass.”
Serena and Margot looked at Riley with their wide-open eyes, like they were looking at a monster.
What was Dr. Watson thinking? That was fucking awesome!
They had only heard those terms from their master's degree lecturers.
But, Riley seemed to have experienced it all!
Jeanne sniffed, “Seems that Dr. Watson understands it very well, just know how to talk but don’t know
how to do, right? Mr. Hardesty, what do you think?”
Just now, William kept paying attention to what Riley said, she's so perfect for the Surgery Department!
A born surgical doctor with sharp observation, detailed consideration, and precise judgment.
He wished to fight on the surgery table with scalpels with her, defying the God of death together!
William put his excitement away and said, “That's right, Dr. Watson. If the patient undergoes surgery,
it's highly risky with only 30% chance of surviving, and there's 70% chance if the patient gets
conservative treatment.”
Jeanne said, “But, the sickness might recur anytime if the patient gets conservative treatment. The
patient needs to consume the medicine in a long term and it'll worsen the liver's burden of
detoxification.”
Riley had thought about that problem, “Ms. Pouchain, the decision of doing the operation or not
depends on the patient's wish, we should tell the pros and cons to the patient and let the family decide
it.”
William nodded, “Do it as what Dr. Watson says.”
Riley slightly nodded and left the meeting room.
The rest of the people in that room regarded Dr. Watson as their role model, “Goddess! Dr. Watson is
my role model now!”
“You just knew It? Dr. Watson was an excellent student during university days that lecturers would fight
for her. In less than a year after coming to our hospital, she had conquered leaders of various stages.
Tsk tsk, what a talent... More importantly, she's so beautiful.”
A male doctor couldn't help exclaiming.
Jeanne berated, “Why are you still in a daze? Go and make a plan for the patient!”
After saying that, she just walked out.
Everyone in the room looked at Jeanne's cold back figure... For a long time, people just looked at each
other without saying anything.
Jeanne clenched her fists. ‘That damned Riley, she was just seeking the limelight! Just wait!’ she
thought.
Riley spent most of the afternoon looking into the patient's condition and make the corresponding
treatment plan until her phone rang.
“Hello.” she was writing the plan when she took the phone and put it by her ears, she didn't see whose
number was that.
“Hello?” why did no one say anything at all?
“If you're not talking, I'm hanging up.”
Riley didn't like to be disturbed when thinking about a problem. When she was going to hang up, finally
there's a sound coming from the other end.
“Doctor Watson, let's have a talk.”
William?
...
Riley brought the coffee cup and sat on the seat by the hospital's coffee shop window, “If it's still the
same topic, I think there is no need to talk more about it.”
William sipped his coffee, it was a sugarless Americano that felt bitter, but it didn't feel that bitter when
he looked at Riley, “I'm very serious, you're very suitable for the Surgery Department, you've proven
your actual strength again today, I was going to give you more time to consider initially but I don't want
to wait anymore.”
His praises and appreciations for her had no personal motives. If she refused, it would be
unreasonable.
Riley was holding a cup of cappuccino with three spoons of sugar, but it still felt so unbearably bitter
when she drank it... She looked at her right hand, there were some things she didn't want to tell him so
she just refused once more, “Mr. Hardesty, I'm thankful for your kindness, but I have to refuse. We don't
need to talk about this anymore in the future.”
She got up and wanted to leave. William subconsciously grabbed her wrist, the air suddenly became
quite ambiguous… William knew that he was rude so he hastily let go of her hands, “Actually, what
happened to your right hand? When you assisted me, I can see that you subconsciously protected your
right hand.”
“That has nothing to do with you.” she instinctively curled her right hand, she could still recall the pain
she had gotten five years ago.
There were many regrets in her life, and her right hand that couldn't hold the scalpel again was one of
them.
“Riley...” he called her name out in a rush before saying, “If there's a problem on your right hand I can
help you solve it... Believe in yourself and please believe me too, okay?”
Riley didn't talk to him anymore and left the coffee shop, leaving William standing there alone in
confusion. What was the reason for her to give up on working at the Surgical Department?
What was the reason for the problem on her right hand?
The hands were essential for doctors working at the Surgical Department. She's a careful person, how
could she be so careless?
After walking out the door, there was a large flowerbed in front surrounded by Holly trees, and the cape
jasmine flower inside it already bloomed. The elegant fragrance lingered in the garden... Riley stood
before the flowerbed with her white doctor's gown. Then, once she lowered her head, her tears
streamed down her cheeks...
After work, Riley, who was not in a good mood, sat in the car.
Riley didn't want to go back to the villa because Lydia would be there.
Being alone in a rented house would make her more deserted and it'd be easier for her to imagine
things.
Staying at the hotel? Wouldn't she be asking for trouble if she stayed in a hotel?
The world was so huge but she suddenly realized that she had no place to seek warmth... 2 years ago,
before her grandfather passed away, she still had a reason to return to the Watson family’s house, but
then that memorable place had become someone else's territory.
Fortunately, her phone rang.
“My dear, I bet that you're feeling lonely and cold now. Do you want to go out and have some fun? A
good friend of mine sets a free food and drinks party, come over and join us!”
“You're pretty accurate this time. Wait for me, I'll be there soon.”
In a first-class club in JD City, the luxurious and bright fluorescent lights were very bright and brilliant.
The DJ was so loud that people's voices could barely be heard... Riley, who wore a simple shirt and
jeans, didn't look like she came from the same world as Sarah, who wore a sexy short dress.
“Honey, come here!”
Riley entered the club. Sarah guided her to take a seat and briefly introduced her friends to Riley...
Everyone was just being polite, then they had fun on their own.
“Are you in a bad mood? Why are your eyes red?”
Riley swayed her alcohol glass, “Give me juice instead, I'm driving and I have drunk too much last
night.”
“Okay, okay, you're the only one that can drink juice in the club!”
At that time, the man that was sitting on the ring sofa under the chandelier whispered, “Isn't that Riley
from the Watson family? Last time when I joined the Watson Group's banquet, she looks very simple
but beautiful, but it seems that she has a connection with two brothers of the George family.”
“Is that so? If that is so... Maybe we can make friends with her so we can do some business with the
George family.”
That group of people discussed well before enthusiastically inviting Riley to sit down, “Sarah, you're not
doing it the right way, how could you just abandon us after your good friend comes? We should have
fun together, come, pretty doctor, you can sit here.”
Sarah glared, “Behave, my friend is a good lady. Don’t make your moves here.”
“I won't dare to, lady, please sit down.”
Riley was dragged and persuaded to sit down, “I have to drive so I won't drink today, sorry.”
“Don't be like that, we all drive here, drink a glass, just one glass... I'll let the driver send you home
later.”
“Fuck! She said that she doesn’t want to drink alcohol, what are you trying to persuade her for! Just
stay still or I'll cut you off!”
“Okay, okay, just don't drink then... drink some water... Or juice.”
Everyone there was young and they were all sons and daughters of bosses in JD City. Everyone
intentionally wanted to get closer to Riley with full enthusiasm.
“Pretty doctor, which unit are you from?”
“Pretty doctor, I don't feel well recently. Can you have a look?”
Flatters were coming one after another, she just responded casually and resolved them easily.
However, when Riley looked up from the swaying glasses, she saw a familiar figure walking in.
Kaysorn who just walked in also saw Riley. His evil-looking eyes suddenly shrank!
Their eyes met, and Riley slightly narrowed her eyes. Sure enough, one of his arms was still hanging
on his neck and he was limping. He's injured badly.
Kaysorn gritted his teeth, bent down, and spoke to a guy beside him, “Keep an eye on that slut, Riley, I
wouldn’t let her go tonight!”
