Lost in Mr. Preston's Temptation novel Chapter 21

 

“Dr. Deleon.” Donny helped Mae sit down on the hospital bed. “This lady’s back is hurt, please take a look”

“Hey, this is neurosurgery, not the orthopedic department. Why are you acting like your boss...” George Deleon complained after quickly hung up the phone, “Who’s relative is this lady?”

“She’s Ms. Rowan’s maid.”

Donny pointed to Clara, who was next to him, and then quickly walked up to George and whispered a few words to him.

George looked up at Clara with a face full of surprise.

Clara felt a little scared by this Dr. Deleon.

Rubbing her arms, she politely asked, “Dr. Deleon, could you check on my friend.”

“Okay, who wouldn’t help when someone so beautiful asks? “ George answered with a grin. He stopped looking at her with his probing eyes, put on medical gloves, and checked Mae.

He gently pressed on Mae’s lower back a few times until he heard a slight click and Mae’s back straightened.

Mae stood up and walked a few steps, surprised, “My back doesn’t hurt anymore. You young man are quite good.”

“That’s because you can’t be a doctor without any skills.” George went to the computer to prescribe medicine while at the same time chatting with Mae. In a few minutes they had become acquainted, and he had coaxed a smile out of her.

Clara was a little speechless.

She didn’t think George looked like a doctor at all, but rather like the most popular male host in a nightclub.

After leaving the office together, George smiled and said, “Mae, you can go down with this man to get the medicine. I have some business with Ms. Rowan.”

“It’s okay, you young people go ahead and talk, I can go back by myself.” Mae laughed; her eyes looked at George like an old mother looking at her son-in-law.

She also pulled Clara close and whispered, “Miss, this doctor is not bad. Think about it.”

“Mae......” Clara didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

The wound Steve had given her had already made ashes of her heart. Marring Ethan was only in order to have him help her take revenge. She didn’t have the time to consider other possibilities.

After Donny and Mae had left, Clara looked at George, “Dr. Deleon, what do you need me for?”

“Smart.” George snapped his fingers and led her to the blood test department. “Donny said that Ethan wanted to marry you. Since you happened to come, I’ll take you to get your blood drawn to check your physical condition. Do you mind?”

“I don’t mind.” Clara shook her head, and pursed her lower lip, “But can it be you who draws my blood?”

George pretended to be curious and asked, “Is Ms. Rowan in poor health?”

“No, my blood type is rare, and I also have... a coagulation disorder. “ After hesitating for a while, Clara continued, “I don’t want anyone in the hospital to know about my blood type. “

She was afraid that if some doctors knew about it, they would have her test medicines.

“What?” George suddenly turned her head to look at Clara with a somewhat grave expression. “Your coagulation ability isn’t good?”

Clara Rowan nodded, feeling that his expression was off, “Well, what’s the matter?”

Although she had been tortured by two women during that period of time when was locked up, but because her injuries had been bound before she had entered, they hadn’t bled profusely.

That was why she had come out alive.
