‘Steven? Shouldn’t you be in you department? What brings you here?”
The man who had just walked in was none other than Laveme’s attending physician, Steven!
He had shed his uniform, now dressed in a black thin with his blazer slung over one arm
Marguerite noticed that Steven had a penchant for black shirts, but the color was too dark and didn’t go well with most suits, so few people chose to dress like this.
Even Frederick, who fits in any color, had a closet full of crisp white shirts.
Stever’s inherently soft demeanor, coupled with the black shirt, gave him a unique air of cool defiance
“just finished my shift and saw you as soon as I stepped out. You are injured pretty bad Didn’t Frederick come to pick you up?”
Marguerite glanced sideways, noticing Frederick had already wheeled Yuna into the elevator. Steven followed her gaze, and instantly understood
“You two still haven’t made up?”
Marguerite shook her head
“Because of the baby?”
Marguerite nodded
Til take you home” Steven decided immediately
Marguerite didn’t want to trouble him and quickly declined, “You don’t have to, Steven. I can go home by myself”
Steven didn’t listen, his long arm wrapped around the back of Marguente’s shoulders while his other hand held her arm, guiding her towards the exit.
“The pregnancy test results leaked from my office. I feel guilty about it. Please, Ms. Lockwood, give me a chance to make amends.”
At his words, Marguente’s lips curled up into a smile
She had never blamed Steven for the incident. After all, the culprit was Yuna who made the pregnancy test public
Even if she hid the results initially, Yuna would have found out eventually
She stopped resisting and let Steven lead her to the parking lot.
It wasn’t long after they left the lobby that Chuck, who had finished his tasks for Frederick, rushed back. He couldn’t find Marguerite and quickly texted her, “Marguerite, where are you? Mr. Winston asked me to take you home!”
She replied quickly, “Chuck, I’ve already left”
Left?
Chuck could only reply, “Let me know when you’re home, but you might want to tell Mr. Winston. He’s quite worried about you.”
After waiting five minutes with no response, Chuck put away his phone and turned to find Frederick.
But two doctors quickly passed him, walking ahead, laughing and complaining.
“That patient named Yuna is hilarious. I heard she tried to commit suicide by overdosing, so I rushed to pump her stomach. But guess what? Her vital signs were
excellent!
She swallowed a few melatonin tablets and didn’t forget to take some vitamins. Absolutely unbelievable!”
Chuck was stunned. Yuna’s vital signs were excellent?
But he clearly saw her being wheeled out earlier, looking half–dead.
He quickly caught up to the doctors and asked, “Doctor, can you tell me what melatonin is?”
The doctor didn’t hold back, “It’s a natural sleep aid, not as strong as sleeping pills. We just had a patient who tried to overdose on the lowest dose of melatonin. She sure knows how to take care of herself, taking vitamins after the melatonin, effectively neutralizing the effects!”
