Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: A Dog's Tail

"Ugh! It's so painful! Ugh!"

Clara sat up on the bed with one of her hands grabbing her throbbing forehead. It's so painful that she couldn't even open her eyes to look around, the moment she got her consciousness back.

She gently massaged her head thinking that, that might help to get rid of the headache. And only when the pain subsided a little, that she slowly opened her eyes and scanned around her surroundings.

But soon her head titled towards a side as a question mark popped on her head.

"Eh? Where am I?"

And as if to answer that question of hers, the door opened and an extremely handsome man in a white coat and suit with stethoscope around his neck came to her vision, "Oh? You're awake, Miss Alden? You've been unconscious for two days straight! For a moment, I had thought if you didn't wake by today, I would have to reserve a place for you at the morgue."

But Clara's mind wasn't in his sarcasm. Her complete attention was in the person in front of her, "Ahh? Are you... Are you... The Le- Legendary doctor, Maxen Summers?"

Clara was so agitated to see the legendary doctor in front of her that she completely forgot about her condition and even planned to get out of her bed to jump up in joy.

Ahhh! This is the figure that everyone in the country worships.

Not only, is she seeing him live but also he's talking with her. Ahhh!

But her recklessness almost cost her life to retire from this world. One, because she was too agitated that her headache caught up with her. Two, she had almost pulled the needle of her IV. And three, the main thing, she had completely ignored the man who had followed behind Max and now standing at the side with gradually blackening face.

She was saved from the first two options, thanks to Max's quick reflexes. But she's now completely trapped in the last option.

"Ugh!" Clara couldn't help but grunt at the mixed pain as she quickly sat back.

"Be careful, Miss Alden. You need to stay calm as much as possible. You can't be reckless at this time. You had almost lost your life in this fever," Max said as he quickly busied himself to treat the wounds which could have been easily treated by a nurse. But he needed to impress his boss for more funds. So... Let's do it, Maxen!

Stay Calm? Can't be reckless? How can she?

If not for that b*stard's numerous evil plots and tricks, would she have left her highly rising doctor career, and took over the family business?

She still remembered that her wish to be a doctor was so short-lived that she had almost forgotten when it started and when it ended!

Even though, she barely had her me-time, she always stayed updated in the live-saving programs. And among those programs, Maxen Summers's name always stayed at the first.

This person even though he's such a renowned and highly-demandable doctor, he would still treat the patients who are poor and need in free. Not only that, he had also opened a community for doctors and nurses to check the poor people in free.

She had always seen him from her computers. But now that she could see her idol from so close, how could she stay calm?

It's clearly like, asking a begger who had been hungry for days, not to eat his food even that food is now in his hand!

Alaric had followed behind Maxen to check on Clara before he planned to leave for his work. But who would have thought that from the moment they had entered, her eyes would be fixed on Maxen only?!

And here he was worrying for two days straight about her health and almost over turned the entire hospital?!

Hah!?

A dog's tail can never be straightened by anyone. It'll always stayed curved!

Alaric waited five more minutes for Clara to look at him but when he found out that she only had eyes for another man, he left the ward with a loud bang on the door, startling the two.

After coming out of the hospital, Alaric entered his car and asked the driver to drive in an icy cold voice, as he rubbed his face in irritation.

What the heck was he actually doing?

He came back here to avenge his parents, not to pamper and spoil that betrayer.

Just how could he lost his true motive and let his plans get derailed like that?

No! He can't be soft-hearted anymore!

There's no good place for a good person. And that's how the society works.
