Chapter 188
“Tara, what brings you here?” Lena asked, surprised by the swift arrival of the woman before her.
She’d thought Tara was due for a scheduled surgery soon.
“Well, I heard someone talking behind my back, so I had to come.”
Tara chuckled.
“Just kidding. I’m here to check on the patient’s condition. After all, opportunities for medical research like this are rare.
“Hey, handsome, let’s see what’s under the covers. Let me check your wound.”
She approached Cameron.
The corners of Cameron’s mouth twitched. He finally met the friend Lena had mentioned.
Standing at 5 feet 4 inches, with thin eyebrows and narrow eyes, Tara wore a white coat and black- framed glasses. Tara exuded a presence of maturity and elegance. Her figure was slender and perfectly proportioned.
As Cameron sized Tara up, she too appraised the young man before her, whom she had deemed a subject for medical research.
Tara said with a seductive smile, “Hey, handsome, I might blush if you keep staring at me like that.”
Cameron was dumbfounded.
Somehow, he felt like he was the one about to be devoured.
“Tara, could you please be mindful of your image? You’re the lead surgeon and vice director, after all!
Η
Lena shook her head. She knew exactly how her friend would react upon seeing Cameron.
“Image? I can’t keep up appearances in front of a handsome guy like him, right, handsome?” Tara said, her gaze once again fixed on Cameron.
“How about this–tonight, why don’t you and I go to the lab alone and have a good discussion about life?”
“That won’t be necessary.”
Cameron’s mouth twitched. It seemed this woman truly intended to dissect him for research.
“Don’t be nervous, handsome. Your heroic deeds have already spread throughout our hospital. Is my charm not enough to captivate you? That’s truly heartbreaking.
Tara sighed with a hint of sadness.
“Um… Can I file a complaint?”
Chapter 156
Cameron raised his hand.
“Of course not, handsome,” Tara replied with a smile.
She gently lowered Cameron’s hand down.
In their brief contact, Cameron felt the woman’s smooth and flawless skin, causing goosebumps to
rise on his own.
“Why are you getting goosebumps, handsome? Feeling shy?”
Tara looked at Cameron with a playful gleam in her eyes.
“It looks like I still have some allure for you. How about tonight-”
“Stop, stop, stop!”
Lena couldn’t bear to watch any longer and quickly intervened. She pulled her good friend behind a folding screen.
“What’s wrong, Lena? I was having a nice chat with that handsome guy. Why did you suddenly pull me away?”
Tara looked at Lena puzzledly.
Lena shook her head in exasperation.
“Tara, please be more reserved. Don’t be fooled by his harmless appearance. He’s a big wolf in sheep’s clothing. You need to keep at least this far away from him.”
As she spoke, Lena extended her hands to emphasize the distance.
“But Lena, I don’t think he’s bad at all, and he’s an important research subject for me, her interest undiminished.
Tara replied,
“You’re too naive. You don’t understand how men can be. Be careful not to get too involved in your research and become entangled,” Lena warned.
“Don’t worry, that won’t happen. You know I’m not interested in men,” Tara said confidently.
She tossed her hair. A trace of indifference flashed across her eyes.
“Alright, I won’t persuade you anymore. Just be careful.”
Lena sighed. She knew she couldn’t change Tara’s mind.
“Understood!”
Tara smiled and emerged from behind the screen, walking toward Cameron.
“Sorry to keep you waiting, handsome. Let’s lift your shirt and examine your wound.”
