Aurora couldn't eat because of the pain in her mouth. Frustrated, she tossed her utensils to the floor. The housemaid hurriedly knelt down to clean up the mess. However, Aurora's anger escalated, and she threw a glass cup near the housemaid's feet.The glass shattered, cutting the housemaid's hand, and she began to bleed."Get out of here! Leave me alone!" Aurora yelled, clutching her cheeks in pain after her outburst.Dahlia scolded her, asking, "Why are you taking your anger out on the housemaid?" Then she turned to the injured housemaid. "Stop cleaning and tend to your injury first."The housemaid nodded and left the room. Dahlia prepared another bowl of porridge and handed it to Aurora. "This one is a bit cooler. Try to eat it slowly."Aurora had been struggling to eat due to the mouth injuries she had sustained over the past few days. Her body had become noticeably thinner, and her complexion had worsened. Along with the constant pain, her already irritable temperament had be
Felicity immediately expressed her discontent, saying, "I haven't experienced the joys of being a woman, and you're suggesting I have a sex change? Even if I were considering it, I'd do it after experiencing intimacy with a man."Stella was left speechless. 'Why did I entertain Felicity's nonsensical conversation?' She had originally intended to get a number while they waited, hoping it would speed up their hospital visit.As it turned out, there was a substantial queue of people waiting to see the breast surgeon. Many women, around the same age as Felicity, were also waiting. It was unclear if it was due to the increased pressure on women in today's society, but Stella had noticed that breast cancer was affecting younger and younger individuals.Stella had considered turning to comfort Felicity, but the girl was already engrossed in playing games on her phone. Stella's lips twitched. "Aren't you worried about the possibility of having breast cancer?"Felicity did not even raise he
Keegan turned around, and at the entrance was a little girl around five or six wearing a red cap. She called out to him with a smile in her eyes. She was frail and skinny with short hair. Her eyes were big and expressive.Keegan asked, "What did you call me?"The kid pouted and replied, "Uncle Keegan."Only then did Keegan beckon her. "Come here."The little girl walked over and sat on his lap. "Could you change the color next time? The hat is very ugly. They said when I wear it, I look like the matchsticks in the little matchstick girl's hand."Keegan took a closer look and commented, "It's quite similar, but there were only two colors. The other one was black.""Then I want the black one," the little girl replied."Then wouldn't you look like a burned matchstick?" Keegan teased.Coco was at a loss for words."Have you made up with Aunt Stella?" Coco asked with her hands wrapped around his neck.Keegan paused and replied, "Who told you we were fighting?""Uncle Aldor said s
"Is she still not out?"Aldor nodded his head. "She's been inside for quite some time."As they were speaking, a woman's shriek of agony could be heard from inside. Keegan felt his chest tighten and subconsciously wanted to push open the door to enter.The older woman on the side quickly blocked him. "The doctor's doing the checkup. If there's a lump inside, it'll hurt when it's pinched. Hence the screaming out is a normal occurrence. If both of you go in now, it'll affect the doctor's diagnosis."Keegan retracted the hand that was about to push open the door stiffly. His lips tightened into a thin line.The older woman saw his state which seemed pretty worried, so she comforted him. "Dr. Steven's skills are excellent. He looks handsome and has a gentle personality. With him there, there would definitely be no problem."The corner of Keegan's eye twitched once while Aldor asked the question he wanted to ask. "Dr. Steven is a male doctor?""Ah, isn't a male doctor prevalent nowad
Stella knew that Felicity was just trying to flirt with Dr. Steven after hearing what she said.Felicity used to say that a wise person would never fall in love, yet her actions showed the complete opposite when she met a handsome man.Dr. Steven handed her the prescription with a smile. "Palpation is the most common technique used in breast examination, and every doctor knows how to do this.""I'm sure you're the best among all your colleagues then. Otherwise, why would so many patients come to specifically look for you?"The doctor gazed downward and smiled without speaking."Dr. Steven, can I get your number? It's my first time getting diagnosed with this, and I'm very scared. Would it be okay for me to text you directly if there's an emergency?"Corbin paused for a moment before he said, "Sure."Then, they exchanged numbers. After that, Stella dragged her friend out of the clinic and left."Dr. Steven's so handsome. His legs look so long even with the big white coat on. His
Keegan stood outside the clinic to wait for them, and he did not realize that he had caught a lot of people's attention.Obviously, it was because of how attractive he looked, and the fact that he accompanied his wife here to see the doctor, so the ladies there got very interested in him.However, there was one particular lady that gave him a very strange look.Keegan noticed it, and he thought that he was standing in her way. So, he moved to the side.However, that chatty lady opened her mouth. "Young man, you look like a decent man. Why would you hire such an assistant?"Keegan was puzzled.Then, the lady continued mysteriously after seeing the confused look on his face. "Your assistant kept walking back and forth outside like a cat on a hot tin roof before you arrived. Who would be so nervous while seeing the doctor with somebody else's wife? Also, why would you even hire such a young assistant to take care of your beautiful wife? This is never going to end up well!"Keegan's
Felicity said in a sluggish manner, "It's a benign one."Stella was speechless. "Why the face then?""Dr. Steven told me to come back for a checkup every six months, which means I'll only get to see him twice a year." Felicity sighed. "Why does it have to be a benign one?"Stella's mouth twitched. "Did you hit your head? You're crazy!"Felicity glared at her. "What do you know? How am I going to make something happen between us if I don't see him more often? Do you really want me to stay single till the day I die?"Stella rolled her eyes. "Didn't you add his number on WhatsApp?""Oh, yeah!" Felicity patted her own head. "How did I forget about that?"She took her phone out as she spoke. Dr. Steven had saved her number too, and his profile picture was his own face but with casual clothes on.That picture was taken in a gym. The doctor wore a tank top, and he was lifting his shirt up to get a shot of his abs.Felicity's eyes sparkled. "He's packing!"Stella immediately went to
So, Aldor said, "We did pretty well in the first quarter, so Mr. Kane wanted to reward us. Ms. Thompson, you should join us if you're interested.Obviously, Felicity wanted to go. Sapphire Clubhouse was a very famous and expensive club in Rivera. It was said that the decorations inside were extremely luxurious, and the clubhouse would only hire good-looking people as its attendants. She wanted to open her eyes and brag to her friends by saying that she had been there. However, she was not in the right position to say yes. After all, she was not very close with Keegan, so she tried to convince Stella. "Stella, you don't have anything to do this afternoon, right? Why don't we go there and have a look?"Stella heard her and figured that she should not turn it down because she had been going everywhere with her in these few days, and she just could not find any reason not to grant her little wish.Everything was fine for Stella after saying yes to Felicity, but she started regretting it
