Chapter 431
When Felicia stepped into the clinic, one of the physicians came over to guide her toward a consultation room. Once there, he pointed inside with a meaningful gesture.
Felicia was confused by the situation. Then, she raised her eyes to look into the room and saw the thin, hunched figure of someone with their back tumed. She couldn’t see their face or any obvious injuries.
The physician explained, “This patient is rather peculiar. He only complains of headaches, but there’s nothing unusual when we check his pulse. We’ve tried acupuncture and medicine, but nothing works. He’s been here three or five times already! I’m worried he’ll tamish Union Clinic’s reputation if he keeps this up!”
Lowering his voice, the physician added, “I suspect he’s here to cause trouble because he has specifically requested you by name several times. I couldn’t handle it, so I had to call you.”
“I understand. You can go back to your work now.” Felicia’s tone was calm.
Ever since Union Clinic had gained fame, troublemakers and challenges had come in droves. Yet such petty tricks i After hearing what she said, the physician nodded and lett.
didn’t faze her in the slightest.
at face. However, she keenly noticed
Felicia walked into the consultation room, and the man by the window turned at her footsteps, revealing an entirely unfamiliar his breath falter for just a moment when his gaze landed on her.
“You’re experiencing headaches, right? Let’s start by checking your pulse. Give me your hand. Felicia tapped the desk to signal him to place his hand on the wrist pillow. She needed to test the waters to see if he was here to cause trouble or not.
The man hesitated briefly before placing his hand on the pillow
Felicia checked his pulse but didn’t notice anything unusual. The only weird thing was his heartbeat was unusually fast,
With a faint, skeptical smile, she asked, “Are you nervous?
The man averted his gaze without speaking, merely shaking his head.
Felicia withdrew her hand, stood up, and said, “The body doesn’t lie, and neither does the pulse. You don’t actually have headaches, and you specifically asked for me. Are you here to cause trouble?
The man shook his head again, but it was unclear whether he was denying her accusation or saying no to something else.
However, the man’s gaze never left Felicia throughout the exchange. He watched her intently, as if afraid to miss even the smallest change in her expression. There was even an undercurrent of inscrutable emotion in his eyes
Felicia frowned, scrutinizing his face. She was certain she didn’t know him, so she threw out a warning before walking away, “Whether you’re here to stir up trouble or for some other purpose, I’ll make your Take pain real if you keep coming back.”
Then, she walked out of the consultation room and instructed Kerry to escort the man out.
Surprisingly, the man didn’t cause a scene when he was escorted out. His calm demeanor was so unexpected that Kerry scratched her head in confusion. She even wondered if there was a misunderstanding between Felicia and the man.
Of course, it wasn’t a misunderstanding. Felicia couldn’t discem the man’s motives, but his gaze carried a faint predatory edge. Though it was subtle, it hadn’t escaped her notice.
Hence, she reminded Kerry, “Don’t let him in again. We don’t need this kind of nuisance.”
Kerry nodded vigorously and resolutely replied, “Don’t worry, Ms. Fuller, I’ll keep a close eye on the entrance and make sure he doesn’t slip through.”
After that, Felicia dismissed the matter in her head, quickly forgetting about it in the midst of her busy day.
Outside Union Cline, the man who was escorted out stood for a while before getting into a car parked nearby.
The man’s throat moved as he let out a low, self–deprecating laugh. He reflected on how Felicia had failed to recognize him..
He couldn’t help but wonder whether it was because his disguise was too good or because he had never left an impact on her heart to begin with.
