Nurse: ...
She had grown accustomed to this.
Without waiting for the comer to speak, she went straight to the point: "The late-night snack you brought, I'll take care of it for you. Dr. Jephson went to pick up an emergency patient and will be back shortly. If you want to wait for her, you can go to her office."
With that, she extended her hand towards him.
Ben: ...
He silently handed over the insulated food container. "Thanks."
The nurse nodded.
Ben turned away, preparing to head to Liora's office.
Suddenly, he saw the elevator doors open, and several medical staff wheeled out a patient.
Even though they were all dressed in white coats and masks, Liora stood out.
Ben spotted her immediately.
"Dr. Jephson..."
"We'll talk later!"
Liora also noticed him, briskly tossing out the words before pushing the patient quickly into the emergency room.
Ben stood there, momentarily stun
Liora quickened her pace and walked in. The nurse in the room looked relieved when she saw her. "Doctor Jephson..." Liora nodded and gave her a reassuring look before walking over to the man on the hospital bed. The man looked to be above thirty, with a rugged appearance and a hint of stubble on his chin, exuding a certain roughness. His gold watch and necklace hinted at a nouveau riche background. When Dunk saw Liora approaching, his previously menacing expression instantly softened. He lay on the bed, his gaze fixed on Liora, with naked desire in his eyes. Approaching the bed, Liora glanced at the name tag on the bedside: Dunk. Apparently, he was the guy injured in a car accident yesterday afternoon. His leg was quite badly injured, and she had performed a minor surgery on him. Liora came closer. "Where does it hurt?" "Finally decided to show up, Doctor Jephson? I've been calling for ages, you never came. It's really
"Well, there's something," Diana began, "Do you have any free time tomorrow night?" "I have an interview." "Ah? How long will the interview last? Will it be over by around nine in the evening?" "I'm not sure..." As Ben pondered when the interview might end, he suddenly felt a soft hand on his chest, drawing circles. Liora leaned in close, her actions teasingly ambiguous. In the darkness, though he couldn't see her expression clearly, Ben sensed something in her gaze that stirred him. With her touch, Ben's already compromised intelligence swiftly plummeted further. "Uh, about the time..." Ben stammered, "I think it starts around... a few hours before nine?" Diana picked up on his unease. "Ben, is someone there with you? You sound flustered." "No... no, it's just..." Ben's voice trailed off as the phone was snatched from his hand. Liora leaned in, her voice low and seductive. "Hey, little Diana, it's me. I
Ben snatched the sheets from Liora's hands and threw them into the washing machine. Then he pulled out a chair beside the dining table. "You sit." His eyes were filled with eager anticipation, like an eager-to-please puppy. Liora sat down, looking at the steaming steaks and golden eggs on the plate, her appetite whetted. She took a bite. Immediately, she was met with Ben's expectant gaze. "Um... is it good?" "Delicious, everything you make is delicious," Liora spoke the truth. Ben's cooking was excellent, and on the first try, she found it quite impressive. Though Ben was a bit silly, he was sincere and caring towards her, giving her an inexplicable sense of security. He also completely matched her aesthetic standards. She admitted to herself that she really liked him. And... Last night's experience was a big plus. Who wouldn't love a cute boyfriend who was both ha
Leah sipped her water. "Why the rush? We still have an hour left, don't we?" "With this gap in viewership, what can we possibly do in the remaining hour? It'll take a miracle to turn the tide." "What kind of miracle?" "Maybe we need FOT to come in shirtless and perform Swan Lake to turn things around?" Leah's eyes lit up. "That's actually a brilliant idea to attract attention!" Emily: ... Leah checked the time, "Break's over. I need to get back to streaming." With that, she set her water aside and resumed her position in front of the camera, determined to give her best. Watching Leah's determination, Emily couldn't help but switch to Leah's livestream and sent her a hundred-dollar tip. Every bit of encouragement counted. Wood pushed open the door and stepped inside. "What's the situation now?" he asked. "Producer Wood..." Emily looked at him, wearing a disheartened express
Leah looked at the display showing over four hundred thousand viewers in the live stream room, feeling a bit surprised. Originally thought that reaching a hundred thousand would be incredible. Didn't expect her popularity to be not bad~ But as soon as she saw the massive donations displayed above the live stream room, she felt a pang. She was calculating how much the platform would deduct in fees when she saw the donation amount start to skyrocket again. Leah: "??? Damn! More?" Seeing the familiar 'AlienVisitor' splurging again, Leah felt short of breath. She quickly sent a message to Colin under the table. [Baby, don't spend recklessly, I feel sorry... for the money.] Soon, she received a reply. [Colin Darling: Let you win.] Let her win? Ah~ She felt a little moved. But now her popularity was far behind, winning just based on donation amount didn't seem worth it!
Before Ben could react, he felt something soft on his lips. After realizing what happened, Ben's forehead went "thump". He was furious. Damn it! He got forcefully kissed!!! Leah's eyes lit up. She raised her phone, "Three... two... one!" As the final countdown ended, Anthony promptly left his lips. "Get lost!" Damn it! Ben kicked him away, "Weren't you supposed to kiss Leo?!" Anthony: "Huh? Really? Forget it, since I've kissed Leo now, might as well give it a try with you." Leo, who was relieved to have escaped: ??? Kissed?!!! When did that happen? Why don't I know anything about it?! The audience in the livestream chat was going wild. [Did I see that right? Anthony is so positive!] [Ahhh! What just happened?!] [Don't kiss on the floor! Kiss in front of us!] [I can tell from Leah's expression that something intense just went down!] [Kiss aga
Leo leaned against the wall, "But now that we're here, we don't need you anymore. You can leave." Anthony chimed in, "Yeah, with the three of us here, we don't need you at all. Just go wherever you feel comfortable." Wesley was furious. "Do you think I enjoy being around you three?! This isn't even your livestream room, why are you making a fuss? I'm not leaving!" Seeing the atmosphere turning sour, Emily waved her hand, reminding them. "We're still on live, everyone's watching..." Anthony shrugged, "So what?" Wesley said, "Exactly, what does the livestream matter? Am I supposed to be scared of these three idiots?" Leah remarked, "Indeed, it doesn't matter." Emily: ??? These guys going crazy is one thing, but Leah, are you also going mad? Leah stared at the comments in the livestream, squinting with pleasure. [Wesley?! Was that just Wesley arguing with FOT?!] [Wow~ What day is it
"What's going on? Does anyone know what's going on?!" Amelia was starting to lose control. She grabbed her nearby manager Lysandra sharply, her nails digging in painfully. "Wesley, how could he appear on Leah's side?! Wasn't he supposed to come help me?!" Lysandra winced from the sharp pain of Amelia's grip. "Amelia, I don't know about this either, you should go ask your dad..." Amelia snapped out of her trance, took out her phone, and started dialing her dad's number. But it showed as switched off, indicating he was in a meeting. "Argh!" Amelia let out an angry scream and smashed her phone fiercely on the ground. The phone instantly shattered into pieces. But she wasn't done yet. She suddenly grabbed the nearby staff's camera and pushed it to the ground. People in the vicinity scrambled away in fear. "Amelia, are you out of your mind? Control your emotions, we still need
