11 - Ridiculous Scolding
Aubree blinked, not quite understanding what he meant. "What?""Why do you always have to get yourself into trouble?" Greg gave her a displeased look. "And why do you always have to drag yourself into his problems, too? What kind of couple are you two, anyway?"Aubree frowned, still having no idea what he was talking about."Do you have any idea how much attention people pay to every little thing you do? Even the smallest incident can become a topic of discussion. You should know better than to put yourself in situations like that. At the very least, learn to protect yourself and your reputation.""Greg, I don't understand—""And now your father has to call me about it. Do you know how much trouble this is causing?"Aubree pressed her lips together. She was beginning to lose her patience."Can you at least tell me what happened before blaming me for everything?"Greg looked at her for a moment, then shook his head in frustration."Forget it. Dr. Maynard is coming here. You can tell me
10 - Heat Arguments
Aubree was forced to stop and greet Greg, who happened to open his office door to step out just as she was walking past.She let out a small sigh and put on a smile. She had to make sure Greg didn't realize she wasn't in the best mood right now. Running into him would only make it worse."You're here, Aubree? Why didn't you tell me?"The surprise on Greg's face was obvious."I'm sorry..." Aubree put on a regretful expression. "I actually only meant to stop by for a moment, so I didn't think I needed to bother you.""What's there to bother me about? Come in for a bit."The man, who was ten years older than Aubree, stepped back into his office first.Aubree glanced after him with a weary look and let out another sigh. Now that it had come to this, she had no choice but to follow him. What else could she do? She only had to put up with him for a few minutes. That was more than enough."Are you all right? It's time for you to go home.""Just sit down." Greg gestured toward the sofa. "What
9 - Insecurity Kills
“How could I know?!” Margo immediately denied it, her voice rising sharply.Evander narrowed his eyes at Margo’s reaction. “Are you sure you know nothing about that bastard showing up here?”“I don’t know, Evander! I haven’t seen him in a very long time. Watch what you say! What kind of woman do you think I am?!”Evander’s eyes became even more probing as he stared at Margo. Meanwhile, Margo immediately fell silent when she realized she had let herself answer far too defensively.“Well, maybe he contacted your parents and they told you.”Evander shrugged casually and snatched the bag of medicine back.“Stand up. We’re going home now. I’m already so damn tired.”Then he walked ahead with long strides, intentionally leaving Margo struggling behind on her own.Even so, Margo only looked at his selfish behavior and let out a short sigh. She tried to get off the patient bed by herself, then walked slowly while enduring the pain that spread over one entire side of her body.Throughout the dr
8 - Eavesdropping
“Oh! Doctor Richmond?!”Aubree stopped walking and turned toward the voice calling her. Right at the intersection, a familiar figure could be seen walking quickly toward her from the hallway beside her.“Doctor Richmond! Good evening!” The young woman in a nurse’s uniform greeted her with a bright smile.“Hey, Tina! Oh my God, it’s been so long since I last saw you! How have you been?”“Yeah, I’ve been really good. I haven’t had a chance to go back to Riverbrook since I moved here. So I’m really happy to see you again here, Doctor.”“Are you enjoying working in this city? Is everything going well?”“Of course. I really love living here. Everything is easy and quick to get to because it’s a small town. My husband and child are enjoying it here too. Honestly, the air is even much cleaner than in Riverbrook.”They both laughed.“By the way, what are you doing here this late at night, Doctor? Don’t tell me you moved here?!”Aubree smiled. “My residency isn’t over yet, Tina. But… yeah, I m
7 - No Longer a Loser
Margo was already sitting on the sidewalk, looking extremely shocked as she held her left arm.Derek immediately tore open the sleeve of Margo’s blouse when he reached her. Judging by the amount of blood flowing from it, the wound was definitely very deep.He quickly checked and examined the cut.It was about ten centimeters long and extended diagonally upward. It had not reached the muscle, but it was deep enough to expose the layer of fat.Derek completely tore off the sleeve of Margo’s blouse and used it to press against and tightly wrap the wound to temporarily close it.“Can you try to raise your arm?”Margo managed to lift her arm despite being in severe pain.“Now move your fingers and try to grip my fingers as hard as you can.”Derek slipped three of his fingers into Margo’s palm, and she managed to do as instructed, although her grip was weak.“You need stitches, Margo. Probably quite a few. Other than that, there’s nothing serious about your condition.”Margo still couldn’t
6 - Series of Unfortunate Events
“I hate him so, so, so much! If killing someone wasn’t a crime, I would’ve done it already!”“Whoa, easy, Aubree. I might be the one getting killed first today.”Derek lowered the bread knife Aubree had pointed at his face with his own knife.“He’s always been such an annoying person.”Aubree pursed her lips and went back to slicing her bagel into bite-sized pieces.“My last rotation was full of challenges and completely ridiculous situations. What a freaking asshole.”“Just hang in there a little longer. You won’t have to see him after you graduate.”“Yeah, only three more months to go. But it feels like three hundred years when he’s around me.”Aubree shrugged.“Even so, I’m still grateful to him. Because of him, I’ve gotten really good at almost everything. And my subcuticular sutures are so neat that you can barely tell the skin was stitched at all. They’re so smooth!”“I remember he used to give you such a hard time over your sutures. Turns out it’s been really useful for you.”“
