When Dorothy was in Belle’s ward, the nurses she hired went and bought all kinds of nutritious food for breakfast.
She only ate a little bit before she lost her appetite. Realizing that Credence had been gone for over an hour, and she couldn’t find him, she guessed that he was busy and didn’t think much of it. She went into the bathroom and changed into a loose maternity dress. She wanted to go to the inspection room to check on her daughter’s condition.
As soon as she walked out of the door, she saw a male doctor who looked somewhat familiar walking towards her.
He had a very gentle, elegant, and handsome face. When he saw Dorothy, he immediately smiled and said, “Hello, Mrs. Scott. I am Dr. Quartley, the doctor under Mr. Sherman’s hospital. Do you remember me?”
“Oh yes, Dr. Quartley! I remember now, Germaine mentioned you before.”
Dorothy remembered that Germaine seemed to have a good impression of Dr. Quartley. Back when she stayed in the hospital, he would often check on Germaine and was very kind to her. He would bring her food and water, and even occasionally treat her to a meal.
She still remembered the comments Germaine had given about Dr. Quartley, “He’s pretty good looking, he’s clean and elegant. However, he is always deep in his own thoughts. I keep having a weird feeling like there’s something unpredictable behind his actions! Skye is such a girly name, and his behavior gives me a headache. He isn’t my cup of tea at all.”
Germaine only liked bad boys like Jeremy, she liked men who were cruel and merciless deep in their bones. No matter how great other men were, she would only turn a blind eye to them.
Dorothy took little time to realize why he was here. He must have come looking for Germaine.
Skye was slightly flustered. He didn’t expect Dorothy to still remember him. He smiled politely, handed over a report in his hand, and said slowly, “Mrs. Scott, it’s like this. I came here to discuss about a clinical emergency room with my former student who is in the department of medicine. At the same time, I found Germaine’s physical exam report and brought it over. I’ve been looking around but I can seem to find her. I’ve even called her, but she turned off her phone. Yet I happened to meet you on this floor. It must be fate.”
“What physical exam report?”
Dorothy was taken aback. She quickly took it from his hands and glanced at its contents. Her face turned pale.
She flipped through it and realized that this report was from the gynecologist who had examined Germaine after she was r*ped by Jeremy.
She recalled the doctor telling Germaine to collect it the following day after her examination.
Germaine must have been so busy taking care of Belle and worrying about her that she had forgotten about it.
By coincidence, Skye and the gynecologist, who were college classmates, anxiously helped Germaine get the report.
This meant that Skye was aware of the conclusions that were written in the report.
This was such an embarrassing thing, yet a mature man like him had it in his hands. All at once, Dorothy felt conflicted.
“I guess you must have read it. This is a very private matter of hers, I hope no one else knows about it.”
Having heard this, Skye immediately understood that Dorothy was aware of it. He frowned, and his eyes darkened. “Mrs. Scott, you are Germaine’s best friend. Can you tell me who was the man who hurt her? According to the report, it was her first time. Not only did that man not cherish her, but he had also tortured her horribly. Her lower body was torn. That man is a real beast.”
“Dr. Quartley, thank you for bringing this to me, everything that’s happened to Germaine is very complicated. I’m afraid as you are a man with your identity and position, I can’t tell you the details. Let me put it this way. You can’t control this, nor do you have the right to meddle with it.” Dorothy frowned. She was a little unhappy with Skye’s self-enthusiastic attitude.
At first, she doubted the loss of Germaine’s virginity, as Germaine was unable to bear it at the time. Moreover, she had overheard the gynecologist talking about it before.
Then she remembered that Germaine had been kidnapped by Rosalie’s men in order to save Belle. How could those ruffians, who had committed all kinds of crimes, let her go just like that?
So everyone, including Dorothy, quietly accepted the fact that Germaine’s body had been tainted ever since she was rescued from Jenciga.
As for the things Germaine had done in the past, Dorothy had a vague idea about them too.
In truth, that silly woman was only looking for several men who looked somewhat similar to Jeremy for a drink and a chat. At most, they would only hug and dance around. She had never kissed anyone, nor had she ever slept with them.
She tried to hide her innocence with her unscrupulous actions.
Apart from Jeremy, she wouldn’t love anyone else!
Dorothy gripped the thin piece of paper in her hand and suddenly realized that Germaine had been r*ped by Jeremy. She was furious. Just as she was about to turn around to look for her, she heard Skye’s deep voice saying, “Mrs. Scott, I’ve asked her privately. She’s single and doesn’t have anyone in mind. Since we are not married, then naturally, I would like to pursue her. I have the right to know who hurt her as well.”
She did not expect him to be so stubborn and difficult to deal with. Dorothy looked up at him with no emotions on her face, she was speechless for a little while.
If she disregarded his enthusiastic behavior, Dr. Quartley was actually a very handsome and tall man. To be honest, he was quite a good match for Germaine.
However, in terms of family background, he was still far inferior to her.
Of course, that was not the most important thing. The most frightening thought was that Jeremy was still eyeing Germaine like a thirsty wolf. Before him, any other man who dared to covet Germaine would meet with a terrible end.
As Jeremy’s sister, Dorothy didn’t want Jeremy’s hands to be tainted with blood anymore.
No matter how cruel and vicious he was, they were still related to each other.
“Dr. Quartley, I understand how you must feel. Honestly speaking, what you have just told me is not suitable! Moreover, I don’t think Germaine’s temper and way of doing things are suitable for you. For your future happiness, I hope you will reconsider.”
It was more than his happiness. The most crucial thing was his life and his safety, this was of the utmost importance.
Jeremy didn’t care whether he was Dr. Quartley or any other doctor. If Jeremy was unhappy, he would murder his entire family in the middle of the night, and he wouldn’t miss a single member.
Dorothy sincerely hoped that Dr. Quartley wouldn’t go looking for his own death sentence. She looked at his face and stared at him for a few seconds. She had let her guard down. Suddenly, she heard a cold sneer coming from behind her. “Honey, what do you want him to reconsider?”
The atmosphere suddenly turned cold.
Dorothy’s face froze. She turned around and saw Credence who was over a meter away. He was lazily leaning on his wheelchair with a blank expression.
He clenched the wheels with both hands, and the room felt grim. She didn’t know how long he had been listening in to their conversation.
Seeing how gloomy he was, Dorothy felt a little awkward. She said, “It’s nothing, Doctor Quartley came to look for Germaine, and I happened to bump into him, so we talked for a little while.”
After all, this was Germaine’s private matter, she couldn’t tell him that.
Credence sneered as he looked at Skye with his long and narrow eyes. A dangerous glint shot out from the depths of his eyes. “If you like Germaine, then go look for her. Leave my wife alone!”
All sorts of people came to bother his woman. Did they really take him for a dead man?
“Mr. Scott, I was too hasty, and I may have delayed Mrs. Scott. I’m sorry.” Skye was very clever and smiled awkwardly. He hid the embarrassment and anger in his heart and turned around to leave.
After Skye left, Dorothy let out a sigh of relief. Holding the report in her hand, she slowly walked towards Credence and noticed that he looked upset. He frowned and asked her, “What are you holding in your hands? Give it to me, let me have a look!”
“No, this is Germaine’s test report. It’s private. I can’t give it to you.” Dorothy hurriedly hid it behind her back.
But whenever Credence laid his eyes on anything, he would never fail to get it.
He didn’t show his annoyance and followed Dorothy into the ward. He stared at her pale and pinkish neck with a smile. “Isn’t it about Jeremy and Germaine? Do you think I wouldn’t know about it just because you’re trying to hide it from me?”
“So what if you know about it? Can’t you just pretend not to?”
Dorothy pursed her lips. She turned back and glared at him angrily, feeling a little helpless.
When she turned around, Credence noticed the V-neck of her maternity dress. Her neckline was quite low, and her charming cleavage could be seen if she moved about abruptly.
At the thought of Skye getting a chance to see such a wonderful scene, Credence immediately took it personally, but his eyes were still on her seductive and snow-white skin. His eyes flashed. “Honey, the doctor said that some bruises will affect your bodily functions. For the sake of our future happiness, I think that there is a need for us to do a thorough investigation.”
