âGet out of here!â
Baylor snagged an object from his bedside table and threw it at Sasha. In the next second, a crash rang
out.
If she hadnât dodged in time, it wouldâve hit her.
Argh! Heâs taking this too far! Does he think he can simply insult someone just because he has a
powerful family behind him?
Sasha was livid.
Without another word, she spun on her heels and stalked off as he wished.
Ten minutes later, the director headed toward her while she was in the on-call room. Seeing that, she
calmly put down her name tag and stethoscope.
âDr. Westâ¦â
Hazel, who knew about the incident, had kept Sasha company for the past ten minutes. Upset by the
directorâs presence, she gave the latter a hug to offer her moral support.
In response, Sasha patted her to indicate that she was fine.
Baylorâs tantrum didnât bother her. Even if she was terminated from the job, she could just ask Grayson
to drive her back to Oceanic Estate later.
Finally, the director came into the on-call room
âDid the patient in Room 16 haul you over the coals earlier, Macy?â
Sasha got to her feet at once. âAbout that-â
âHe came to me just now and asked me to convey his apologies to you. He said he was too impulsive
and shouldnât have thrown a tantrum. Why donât you go and look in on him? I prescribed him some
medicine this morning, but I havenât handed them in yet.â
After saying that, the man gave her a few medical reports and some prescriptions.
Sasha was entirely floored.
Beside her, Hazel likewise gaped at their superior with disbelief written all over her face.
Is this for real? The high and mighty heir of the White family has apologized? Are we hearing things?
Everyone in the room couldnât quite believe their ears.
âMacy, I think someone must have hit him pretty hard on the head. You will not be dismissed! Thatâs
great news!â Hazel surmised and congratulated Sasha after the director left.
Sasha, however, was caught between laughter and tears.
Whatâs fantastic about being a rich heir? As doctors, we must be grateful when men like him admit their
mistakes and thank our lucky stars when he doesnât demand for our dismissal.
She went back to the ward with the prescriptions.
Sure enough, the pale-faced Baylor averted his gaze in embarrassment when Sasha entered the room.
âThe doctor has a new prescription for you. Iâll check your blood pressure before you start the medicine.â
Feigning nonchalance, Sasha went over to him and wrapped the blood pressure cuff around his arm.
Baylor pressed his lips into a thin line.
When she was done, he opened his eyes and stole a peek at her.
âErm⦠the incident earlier⦠Iâm sorry.â
âHmm?â Sasha, who was checking him over, lifted her head. âItâs okay. Youâre a patient, so itâs normal
when you canât control your emotions. You donât have to take it to heart,â she comforted gently.
Truth be told, the fury within her had dissipated when she saw his guilt and self-reproach earlier.
Heâs just a patient. Thereâs no need to take offense at him.
After she had checked him over and ascertained that everything was fine, she left to hand the
prescriptions in.
âI wanted you to buy me food because I didnât want them to come here. All my life, Iâve been living
according to their wishes. Now that my life is coming to an end, I refuse to depend on them.â
Sasha, who was about to leave, stopped short in her tracks.
As a doctor, she had seen death too many times that she could face it calmly.
However, it was different to hear it from Baylor. She couldnât quite bring herself to leave.
After all, he was in his prime.
âHow could you be so pessimistic? Thereâll be more delicious food for you in the future. How about this?
When youâre cleared to eat solid foods, tell me what you want to eat, and Iâll buy it for you.â
âReally?â
His eyes instantly lit up from the promise.
âOf course. Donât worry. Iâll buy it personally for you this time. However, youâve got to be cooperative and
stay on the treatment plan,â she coaxed her patient like a child.
He was only in his early twenties, several years younger than her.
Finally, exuberance infused Baylor.
In the following days, he stopped throwing tantrums and cooperated with the hospitalâs treatment plan
docilely. That made Sashaâs job easier too.
Meanwhile, Vivian behaved particularly well recently. Contrary to her persisting reluctance to attend
school, the little girl got up earlier to wake Sasha so her mother could send her to school.
Vivian would run into the school happily as though she was a changed person.
Hmm? Could it be that this daughter of mine has had a personality change? Is she also aiming to be a
top scorer now?
Unbridled joy flooded Sasha, and she couldnât help wanting to share it with someone.
