Chapter 1737
Raeleigh had a lot of matters to tend to that afternoon. When she returned to her office, she handed the steak to Ariana, then told her to put it in the fridge and wanted Ariana to remind her to take it back when she returned home in the evening.
Ariana asked incredulously, "Miss Anson, do you really like the steak there so much?"
"Not really, but I don't like wasting food either. It's better to take away the food instead of throwing it out. Although I can't force others to do that, at least I could do my part."
Raeleigh explained as she removed her coat and hung it on the hanger. Then, she walked past her desk and sat down in front of the computer, staring at it for a while. After that, she called Xanthus. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Xanthus picked up the phone almost instantly. Raeleigh was not surprised. He was probably taking a rest at this time.
Thus, she could contact him during this period.
"Have you eaten already?"
Xanthus was sitting in his office and Releigh chuckled. "You didn't sleep all night?"
There was an awkward silence on the other end of the phone.
When Xanthos did not answer, Raeleigh said, "Your voice sounds hoarse. Are you feeling sick?"
Xanthus stood up. "What do you mean feeling sick?"
"Maverly's a good girl. If I were you, I would give us a try."
"Don't talk nonsense."
"Matters about relationships are hard to say and it is normal for people to get confused. But how could you start new if you never let go of the past?
Although spring is beautiful, it's only temporary. In fact, summer is when the flowers bloom. The reason why you think spring is more beautiful is that you met Cynthia during a cold winter. She had opened the door to your heart. So you find it hard to forget her.
What do you think is the most beautiful season of the year? I can say that my answer is certainty late autumn.
Find someone who can accompany you until late autumn comes and stay through the winter with you.
That is the most beautiful thing."
Xanthus laughed. "Are you preparing to start a
consulting class?"
Raeleigh smiled and said, "I am, indeed. Will you give me a chance to do it?"
Another awkward silence filled the air.
Shortly after, Xanthus hung up the phone.
Raeleigh ended the call at the same time after exchanging a few more words with him.
Looking outside the window, Xanthus put away his phone. He had an operation to perform later. He checked the time and immediately went outside.
After four hours of the operation, Xanthus felt a little uncomfortable near the end of the surgery. But fortunately, he managed to finish the operation.
When he finally came out of the operating room, he could no longer hold on. He leaned against the wall as he swayed toward one side and fainted.
Just then, Maverly arrived. Upon seeing his condition, she rushed over and immediately gave him first aid.
She fumbled for the emergency medicine and fed him a few of the pills. Then, he slowly woke up.
Xanthus was surprised to see Maverly when he opened his eyes.
When she saw him wake up, she held him tightly in her arms.
Xanthus calmed down and raised his hand to hold Maverly's, then pulled her away to stare at her flustered face.
She let go of him and got up and instructed, "Take Dr. Osteen to the emergency room for a full-body examination."
Xanthus lifted his gaze and looked at Maverly. She had refused to look him in the eye.
When Maverly followed Xanthus to the emergency ward, he kept looking at her, but she refused to look into his eyes.
Later, he lay in bed, waiting for her to visit him, but she didn't come.
The doctor wrote a prescription for Xanthus. First, he ordered a brain scan, as well as an electrocardiograph. Then, he asked if Xanthus had ever encountered such a situation before. Xanthus knew very well that his condition was not a big problem. It was because he had been too tired recently. He had worked for the entire morning and did not get enough rest at night. Anyone would have ended up like him if they did the same. In addition, they would also suffer from indigestion too.
Therefore, in this case, it was normal that he fainted.
"I'm fine. I'll be okay after an
examination," Xanthus said calmly.
Meanwhile, Maverly said as she stood beside him, "You have to see a specialist. If your family doesn't have time, I'll go with you. Can you walk now?"
"I'm hungry. I'll do the examination after eating."
Maverly glanced at the time and realized that it was getting late.
So, she brought him to dinner.
After lunch, Maverly took Xanthus for an examination and she waited outside all the time. When Xanthus was about to enter the magnetic resonance imaging room, she helped him take off his clothes. He was wearing layers of thick jackets at that time, and they were not easy to remove. Therefore, Maverly had to peel them off one by one.
"Why did you take off all my clothes?"
Maverly was stunned as she did not expect Xanthus to ask that question.
Her cheeks turned red instantly. She felt that it was unreal looking at Xanthus's perfect body.
She did not know how to explain it to him.
Xanthus had an elegant appearance, and he looked like a refined scholar, which made him suitable to become a doctor.
However, Maverly did not expect him to have a supermodel figure.
"Is this correct?" Xanthus asked Maverly. Feeling embarrassed, Maverly replied, "You are a doctor. Don't you know?"
"I'm not a radiologist."
Xanthus turned around and went over to the machine to lie down as he spoke. At the same time, Maverly tidied up his clothes and watched over him. When he was done, she went over to help him put on his clothes.
Later, the two went to do other examinations, and by the time they were finished, it was over 10 o'clock.
Maverly took Xanthus to the lounge to rest and gave him an infusion. She planned to leave but stayed as she did not want to leave him alone.
Xanthus was not asleep, but he seemed sleepy, blinking his eyes a lot.
"Are you feeling sleepy?" Maverly asked him.
Xanthus closed his eyes and did not answer. After a while, he fell asleep, but Maverly still did not leave. When Xanthus's infusion was done after midnight, Maverly pulled out the needle and helped stop the bleeding before she left.
The next morning, Xanthus glanced around the lounge after waking up and got off the bed when he saw no one else in the room.
He pushed open the door and went out to look for Maverly, then found her sitting on a chair outside, sound asleep.
Maverly opened her eyes when she heard the door creaking and was stunned to see Xanthus. She did not expect him to wake up so early.
"Dr. Osteen."
"Yes?"
"Are you alright?"
"I'm fine."
"That's good. I'll go back now. I have to check on Jacian."
Maverly turned around and left. Meanwhile, Xanthus stared at her, lost in thought.
