Novel Full Chapter 114: I Fell
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Chen Zhao wasn’t sure either. He was pretty strong, but could he really beat this giant, stocky woman?
Morgery was huge but Gaia pinned him to the car, immobilizing him.
Gaia hooked her fingers at Chen Zhao. “Come.”
“Chen, you’re not her match. Leave.”
“Morgery, don’t underestimate me!” Chen Zhao had already charged and punched toward Gaia.
The woman dodged his fist easily. She raised her leg and kicked Chen Zhao precisely in the stomach. Immense pain seized him and Chen Zhao was kneeling on the ground.
He’d really overestimated himself. He may have drunk the strengthening potion, but he was nothing more than a strong doctor. He’d thought that he was awesome, but then Gaia showed him back to his place.
He heard wind in his ears.
Gaia’s leg was sweeping toward his face. Chen Zhao hurriedly raised his arms to protect his head.
Boom—
The heavy sweep made Chen Zhao’s ears ring. His head felt heavy too.
Morgery yelled and broke free from his restraint to grab Gaia from behind. “Chen, go!”
Go? He’d been embarrassed by this woman so badly. Chen Zhao was going to be a despicable man today!
He shot up and yelled, “Grab on tight!”
With that, he raised his leg to kick Gaia, but the woman reacted quickly. With an over-the-shoulder throw, she blocked herself with Morgery.
“Ah…”
Chen Zhao’s kick wasn’t weak. Morgery couldn’t even stand up after that.
“Chen, I told you to run,” Morgery cursed. “Are you stupid?”
Chen Zhao finally realized that he couldn’t beat this woman. Gaia strode forward, forcing Chen Zhao to put up a boxing pose. But then his vision blurred and another punch landed on his face.
He shook his head. Before he could recover, he was hit again.
“If you keep hitting me, I’ll show you! Ah…”
Another punch.
Crack!
There was a sudden gunshot.
The boss held a gun in the distance. The muzzle was pointed at Gaia.
“Gaia, I don’t want to deal with you, due to our past. Don’t let me see you again.”
Gaia stared at him coldly and turned away. Chen Zhao didn’t know what business they had with each other, but there seemed to be a story. It wasn’t the time to worry about it though. Chen Zhao wasn’t in the mood.
His entire body was in pain, especially his face.
Looking at Gaia who’d walked into the distance, Chen Zhao went to help Morgery up.
“Morgery, you okay?”
“I think you broke my back.”
Chen Zhao touched his back. “No, it’s just dislocated. I’ll help you put it back.”
The boss, Nesta, and Sanders walked over. “You two alright?”
“Yes.” Morgery’s cold expression was back as he shook his head.
“Sanders, drive your bike and take Chen away,” the boss said.
They clearly didn’t want to talk about this. Chen Zhao didn’t want to ask either.
Only Chen Zhao could fit on Sanders’ bike, but Beelzebub and Carrie could squeeze in the front. After a bumpy ride, Sanders brought Chen Zhao to the train station.
“Chen, is your face okay?” Sanders stared at the bruised Chen Zhao. Due to his identity, he didn’t take off his helmet.
“I’m fine.”
“You’re really strong. The last time I was beaten up by that woman, I couldn’t walk for three days.”
“I’ll just take it as a compliment.” Chen Zhao stuffed his helmet into Sanders’ arms. “I’m leaving. You should go back too.”
After getting beaten up for no reason, Chen Zhao was extremely pissed. He applied ointment onto his face, but the bruising didn’t fade.
He bought a train ticket—
…
On the train, Chen Zhao sat across from a sexy girl who looked to be around 20 years old. She wore a black jacket with a white tank top. With her long brown hair and light lipstick, she looked fashionable and sexy.
Chen Zhao covered his face. His current appearance was going to affect his flirting success rate.
“You get beaten up?” the sexy girl asked.
“I fell,” Chen Zhao lied through his teeth.
“I have some ointment and bandages. Do you need them?”
“No, I already applied some.” Chen Zhao looked at her. “A regular girl won’t bring ointment around, would they?”
“I’m a medical intern.”
“I’m Chen Zhao. Can I know your name?”
“Eveleigh Model.” She reached out and touched the bruise on Chen Zhao’s face. “It must hurt.”
Chen Zhao grasped Eveleigh’s gentle hand and took it down. Her hand was delicate and soft, but Chen Zhao didn’t like having unfamiliar men and women touching him—especially his face.
“I’m a doctor too. I don’t need someone else diagnosing me.”
“Whoever hit you did it hard,” Eveleigh said.
“I told you. I fell,” Chen Zhao repeated.
“Okay, so you fell.” She clearly didn’t believe him.
Chen Zhao was embarrassed. His injuries couldn’t fool a fellow doctor, even if she was only an intern…
“Do you live in L.A?” Chen Zhao could only change the topic.
“No, but my college is in L.A. My hospital is there too.” Eveleigh glanced at him. “Which hospital do you work at? Or a private clinic?”
Chen Zhao chuckled but didn’t reply.
“You’re an illegal doctor?” Eveleigh suddenly realized something.
Chen Zhao looked at himself. “Is it obvious?”
“You brought you medical kit, so you must’ve gone to treat someone. If you’re from a private clinic, you won’t go to another city, unless it’s a special patient. Plus, you have injuries on your face. I can’t imagine what kind of patient would beat up a legitimate doctor.”
“By the way, I fell… And I could’ve gotten beaten up by a gangster. It doesn’t have to be my patient.”
“It doesn’t matter. I’m right, aren’t I?”
Chen Zhao pursed his lips. “I guess.”
“Why don’t you go get a license?”
“I can’t,” Chen Zhao answered honestly.
He was a foreigner. If he wanted to get a license, he couldn’t do anything else. It would take at least half a year to familiarize himself with American laws and medical practices. He’d also have to read a lot of medical books.
Plus, with his history in China, he might not even get a license after half a year of hard work.
When he’d first came to America, he indeed thought about testing for a license. However, after he got his current job and started accepting and becoming familiar with it, he realized that he no longer wanted a license.
“A doctor without a license can only kill their patients.”
“I haven’t killed any of my patients yet.”
“That’s only for now.”
