You're The Best Medicine For Me novel Chapter 24

Jordan looked up with a torn expression on his face. He was changing his gaze in between the two of them.

Mr. Moore had it worst when his thigh bone was broken completely, but at that time he could still attend a meeting on the next day while being in a wheelchair.

Nobody was able to make him change his mind.

Bryan stood in front of her while he buttoned up the remaining buttons on his sleeve, “I don’t have time now.”

“Didn’t you hear what I have just said? You have two broken ribs and you just have a stitching on your arm. You need to rest.” She lowered her gaze at his left arm.

The long sleeve of his suit had concealed his bandaged arm perfectly, only leaving his sculpted fingers expose. His other hand was lazily fidgeting with a button on his collar, as if he never even cared to listen to what she had to say.

Shirley frowned deeply and wondered why he was still being stubborn with such a grave injury.

She was also feeling sorry for herself for taking in such an unreasonable patient.

“I know your company is always busy, but I don’t believe that it can’t function without your presence. Last night, Madame Moore has come to meet me. If it were not because of her old age, I will never stay behind here. Get back in there.” She grabbed his right wrist in an attempt to drag him back to his bed.

Despite her miniscule efforts, he wouldn’t budge. He was gazing at her with a heavy line of sight, “It’s only been day one, yet you have learnt to pressure me with my grandma.”

With just a slight twist of his hand, he broke free of Shirley’s hand. He lifted his other hand and placed it on the door knob, trying to twist it open.

The door opened with a light sound.

Shirley prevented the door from swinging open at the moment he was about to make the space huge enough for him to pass through. She was holding the door in place with her fragile shoulders.

Bryan’s eyes were depthless and there was a mild anger mixed within them. His voice was heavy, “Give way.”

“What are you going to do if I don’t plan to give way?” She studied him from his head to his toes. He looked perfectly dressed and unlike someone who had just suffered from some grave injuries.

He was able to sleep peacefully for a whole night, so his complexion was better than she last saw him last night.

She suddenly had an amusing thought in her mind. It was as if she had reared an obedient dog who wanted to flee after it was fed.

Bryan didn’t want to continue this scuffle, so he pressed his lips into a line and placed his palm on her shoulder. With some force mustered at his fingertips, he pushed her shoulders slightly.

“Ugh!” Shirley staggered backwards while covering the part of her shoulders which was just pushed by him. It felt a little stinging.

He…

When she turned around, the man was already out of the ward as he exited through the door.

Jordan stood at the door and eyed her slightly. After nodding apologetically, he followed his boss’ footsteps.

Shirley was feeling infuriated. She turned around and broke into a chase.

But just as she had just pushed the door open, there was a sudden crunching pain assaulting her chest.

She staggered forward as she clung to the edge of the door. She looked upwards only to see Bryan who was disappearing from her sight.

“Bryan…”

With a bang, she plopped to the floor helplessly after just taking a step. Unable to defeat that stinging sensation in her chest, it seemed that she had overestimated herself.

The patients and medical staff, who were passing by, all stopped.

When Jordan heard a commotion behind him, he instinctively turned around to take a look.

At the moment, there were a few nurses surrounding Shirley. She looked kind of pale.

Jordan immediately called out, “Mr. Moore, it seems that there is something wrong with Dr. Thomas.”
