“Huh?” Christine White found it a bit puzzling, “Suppose they’re my father and sister?”
“Right.” Ives Norton nodded.
Christine White laughed, “Why do you make such strange assumptions?”
“Don’t ask why yet, just answer me.” Ives Norton looked at her.
She bristled, “No way.”
“Why?” Ives Norton asked her.
Christine White’s small face went cold, “Just because it’s a relative, I will not forgive even more, if Leo Bort is my father, why didn’t he raise me? He had to forcibly extract my bone marrow and abort my child for another daughter, is such a father really not a hater? As for Molly Bort I’m even more lazy.”
“I see what you mean.” Ives Norton pushed up his glasses.
Christine White narrowed her eyes and leaned in close to him, “You still haven’t told me why that’s an unrealistic assumption.”
Ives Norton leaned back, avoiding her gaze, and returned with a mock hangdog look, “Out of the blue, of course.”
“Then you’re really thinking too far ahead.” Christine White huffed breathlessly, but didn’t doubt him.
He exhaled slightly before closing his chart folder, “Come on, I’ll take you to Baird.”
“Uh-huh.” Christine White nodded.
In the office, Baird Lane saw the two men return one after the other and got up and asked, “How did the tests go?”
Christine White didn’t answer him.
Ives Norton had to step up and slap her check on Baird Lane, “See for yourself.”
Baird Lane was a little displeased with Ives Norton’s attitude, but it was Christine White’s health that was at stake, so he didn’t count on it, catching the results of the examination and checking them out.
Although he didn’t know anything about medicine, he could still read the checklist, and after seeing that it stated that Christine White didn’t have any major problems other than her body being very weak, his tense heart was completely relieved.
The body is weak and can be slowly recuperated at a later stage.
As long as there’s nothing else wrong with it, it’s fine.
“Are you satisfied with this result?” Ives Norton looked at Baird Lane with a smirk.
Baird Lane put the test results down, “Is there one item missing?”
Ives Norton’s smile settled slowly, “It’s one less item, but are you sure you want me to say it here?”
At that, he looked if anything at Christine White.
Christine White didn’t notice the look Ives Norton threw her way, but she did hear something wrong in his words, “What do you mean there’s one item missing? Is it possible that my examination was incomplete?”
Baird Lane’s eyes flickered, “No, why don’t you head out and I’ll have a word with Ives.”
“Can’t I listen?” Christine White frowned.
She wasn’t stupid, how could she not hear that he was deliberately sidetracking her.
So she wondered what exactly he was going to say when he stood her up.
Baird Lane, however, was very insistent that she get out.
She had no choice but to pout and reluctantly go out, as she couldn’t fight and couldn’t defeat him.
The office door closed again and Ives Norton looked at Baird Lane with his arms wrapped around him, “You stumped her, or aren’t you going to tell her?”
Baird Lane nodded, “If I let her know now that the chances of her getting pregnant are slim, I’m afraid she’ll be even more reluctant to make up with me.”
“So you know it well too, but who caused this matter, it wasn’t you!” Ives Norton coldly grunted, “If it wasn’t for the fact that you have been indulging Molly Bort, making Leo Bort think that you have lingering feelings for Molly Bort, how could Leo Bort be so bold as to lay his hands on Christine.”
Baird Lane pursed his lips.
He also knew that he had indirectly caused this to happen.
“Okay, I’m not going to get into that either, I want to know right now, what exactly did you want to tell me when you stood aside Christine?” Ives Norton tapped the corner of the desk behind him.
Baird Lane picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea, “I want to know if she can be cured.”
“You mean about the small chance of her getting pregnant?” Ives Norton raised an eyebrow.
Baird Lane hmmm’d.
Ives Norton narrowed his eyes, “Why did you cure her? Did you cure her so that she would have children with you, and if she couldn’t have children, you …”
“I’m not as nasty as you think.” Baird Lane interrupted with a black face.
“So what do you mean?” Ives Norton frowned.
Baird Lane rubbed the rim of his teacup and said lightly, “It’s her regret that this child is gone, as well as mine, I know, she always wanted a child, and since the first one didn’t survive, having another will always give her some solace.”
“So it is.” Ives Norton stroked his chin in realization.
Baird Lane put down his teacup, “So you can cure her?”
“That’s …” Ives Norton scratches his hair, “I don’t dabble much in this part of Obstetrics and Gynecology, and since she injured her uterus, I really don’t know if it can be cured, this will have to wait until I ask Director Luo of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department.”
“Over to you then.” Baird Lane stood up.
The corner of Ives Norton’s mouth twitched, “That’s on me? What about you? What do you do?”
“I’m cooperating with her treatment, of course.” Baird Lane said lightly.
Ives Norton rolled his eyes, “I’m the one worrying about everything, I’m busy up and down and you’re just being a match, I’m kind of wondering if I’m her husband or you’re the husband.”
Baird Lane grunted coldly, “Of course I am!”
His tone held a hint of pride.
Ives Norton even picked up a few hints of braggadocio and was furious.
This person, knowing that he had those feelings for Christine White, was deliberately pissing him off.
“Alright, I’ll go check with Director Luo and I’ll let you know if I have any news.” After saying that, Ives Norton picked up his own stethoscope and opened the door to go out.
Christine White was standing outside on the porch, Ives Norton saw her and stopped in his tracks, “Why don’t you sit and wait?”
Christine White laughed a little, “Don’t want to do it, it’s nice to stand for a while.”
“Don’t lean against the wall then, it’s icy and you’ll catch a cold.” Ives Norton said softly.
Christine White was just about to respond when Baird Lane’s cool voice came from the front, “Ives Norton, didn’t you go to ask Director Luo? Why are you still here? Besides, my wife, I don’t need you to mention it, you can get lost.”
Ives Norton gave a breathless chortle and didn’t bother to pay attention to him, turning his head to Christine White, he urged, “Remember to go to the pharmacy to pick up the medicine in a while, you must take the medicine prescribed, call me to let me know when you’ve finished, and if there is an uncomfortable reaction to the medicine you’ve been taking, you must tell me in time as well, do you hear me?”
“Well, don’t worry, I will.” Christine White nodded.
Ives Norton laughed softly and patted her head gently with the folder in his armpit before dashing off under Baird Lane’s somber, almost dripping gaze.
Baird Lane pulled Christine White into his arms as soon as he could and lowered his head to kiss her where Ives Norton had patted her, kissing her for several seconds before he released her, “There, there’s no more of his scent in here.”
Christine White was baffled by Baird Lane’s maneuver, and it took a moment for her to respond, “What did you … What were you doing?”
She touched the spot where he had kissed her, and a small face turned red, not knowing whether she was angry or ashamed.
Baird Lane reached out, pulled her hand away from touching the top of her head, and answered her as he straightened her hair, which she had messed up, “In removing the scent left by Ives Norton.”
“The breath he left behind?” Christine White cocked her head in confusion, somewhat missing his point, “What do you mean he left a scent, what scent did he leave?”
“As far as I’m concerned, wherever you’ve been touched by him, there’s a scent left behind by him, and as you’re my wife, I’m never going to allow another man’s scent on you, so I’m going to get rid of it.” Baird Lane replied.
In short, she is not allowed to be touched by another man.
Christine White took his hand away from her head without a word, “Baird Lane, don’t you think you’re being unreasonable?”
