Mr George, Don't Be So Arrogant novel Chapter 40

She looked up in surprise. The man above her head was smiling to her gently. His smile was as warm as the sunlight in early spring.

After Riley came to herself, she broke away from his arms immediately and kept the largest distance from him. Her face darkened and didn’t show any expression. She looked as cold as the snow in winter.

William smiled softly, “I am sorry. I did that to avoid more misunderstandings. I was in a rush and offended you. Sorry.”

As clear as a crystal, he looked polite and educated. Riley felt like she shouldn’t be angry with him, or she would look petty.

“You came to find me, right? I was looking for you too.”

She didn’t want to waste any time and came straight to the point.

“Find you? I didn’t know you were in the hospital. You took a night shift yesterday. You are supposed to be home and resting.”

She forgot it.

“Do you know...” Riley wanted to speak it out but then stopped. After all it was a scandal, how could she just say it out loud without feeling embarrassed?

“I saw the news on the forum too. I was going to the control room on the first floor to check the CCTV footage.”

He thought of it too?

Riley nodded with gratitude. But she still didn’t show any emotions on the face, “I am going too. I must find the culprit. I am not going to just let this go.”

William looked at Riley, who was like a little leopard that was so angry that the hair on her was all standing. Somehow, he thought the angry Riley was way cuter than the normal one. When she was angry, her eyebrows were wrung together. She knitted her eyebrows. Her lips, which were little, tender and pink, were pursed inwards. Her little face wrinkled. She looked innocent and attractive.

“I will help you.” William said firmly.

Riley looked at him, “Of course you are going to help me. We are both involved in this matter. But I am the only one who is being accused by everyone else.”

William smiled like a gentleman, “Don’t worry. I will not run away. We are going to go through this together. If necessary, you can say I am your boyfriend.”

Boyfriend?

“No need. Vice president Hardesty, it’s very nice of you to say that...”

“Dr. Watson, what are you rejecting?”

“I...nothing!”

The elevator door opened, and two of them strode towards the control room.

But the CCTV footage was deleted by someone ahead of time. There was no trace of anything!

Damn it!

Now what? If they couldn’t find the culprit, how could she clarify her innocence? Rumor was just like a bottomless pit. Once you fell into it, you could only keep going down. In the end, she might be a target for all!

All of a sudden, William held Riley’ wrist, “Follow me.”

“Vice president, what are you doing?”

They hurried out of the control room on the first floor. William held Riley’s wrist and walked out of the revolving door. When they went through the revolving glass door, a dark shadow came in. It was a man who was carrying a woman with his arms. The blue veins on Riley’s forehead stood out. Why did that person's silhouette look so familiar?

Euan, who walked past them just now, looked back and saw Riley’s hand was held by a man in doctor’s gown. At the revolving door, two of them exited and two of them entered. It happened so fast. It was like fate was playing a trick on four of them.

“Vice president Hardesty, what are you doing?”

Outside the hospital, Riley threw away William’s hand and questioned him while gasping.

William looked around the big garden in the hospital. Hibiscus and rose were all blooming now. They were colorful and beautiful. Their fragrance was all over the garden.

“I was afraid that if you couldn’t get some fresh air, you were going to suffocate to death in there. You are not fit to go in there now. Take a walk here, or go out to have a nice meal. Or maybe go back to have a sound sleep.”

Agitated by what William said, Riley snorted smiling, “Of course, you are standing aloof from this matter on the ground that it is no concern of yours. Your face isn’t showed in the picture, so you are not worried at all.”

“Then please answer me, Dr. Watson. You were so worried. Did it produce any fruit?”

“I need to do something.”

Riley looked up at him stubbornly. She was like a stubborn little girl and a capable woman who didn’t accept failure at the same time. At this moment, in William’s eyes, Riley looked more attractive and stunning.

A slight breeze was stirring the flowers. Meanwhile, the phone in her pocket began vibrating. So she stopped looking at William and the many thoughts that were plaguing her mind were stopped too.

“Get to the department of gynaecology and obstetrics.”

The voice was as cold as ice and almost went through Riley’s spine. The voice in the phone was commanding her again as if she was born to do as it said. The only one who would talk to her like that was Euan George.

She put her phone back to her pocket, “I am going in.”

“Dr. Watson, are you a masochism?”

She smiled, “Just think of me as one.”

Riley walked ahead, and William chased after her. They were both walking fast. But still, at the revolving door, William fell behind and Riley walked in first. Therefore, she entered the elevator first.

Then Riley disappeared in William’s sight.

At the department of gynaecology and obstetrics and outside the office of Lydia’s attending doctor, a tall man was standing there with one hand in his pocket. He looked inviolable.

Riley took a deep breath and walked to him, “How is she?”

Euan didn’t look back. During the several minutes when he stood here waiting for the results, he had already heard all kinds of stories about Riley.

In different stories, there were different adjectives and sarcasms. He kept hearing new words they used to describe Riley.

Riley worked in this hospital, and now they were all targeting her. Was it because she really did what they said, or was it because she was envied and framed by others?

“The doctor is checking her. If something happens to her...”

“You said it already. If something happens to her, you are not going to let me walk free. It has only been several hours. I didn’t forget it yet.”

Euan was feeling a bit sorry for her just now. But her aggressiveness put it all out now.

Now that she was so capable and confident, even if the sky fell, she could cope with it all by herself!

The news that Lydia was carried by Euan to the hospital soon spread out. In several minutes, the hospital was overflown with journalists who were crowding together like sardines.

And some journalists even managed to pass through the security guards and got into the department of gynaecology and obstetrics!

JD Central Hospital was crowded and bustling with people today. Lydia was the patient. The president of the MBK International Corporation was waiting for the results. And the protagonist of the latest scandal was standing at the office door of Lydia’s attending doctor too.
