Take My Breath Away

"Why did Sheffield take Calvert?" Evelyn asked.

"He said he was going to take out Calvert's kidney and put it on auction on the Internet. Evelyn, you must stop him!" The desperation in Rowena's voice was palpable.

Evelyn shook her head and rubbed her aching temples at the thought of how stubborn and impulsive Sheffield could be sometimes.

"I've got this. I know what to do." She hung up the phone bluntly.

While Tayson drove her to the First General Hospital, she tried calling Sheffield's number.

Soon after, the call was connected. "Evelyn? Did you miss me?" he said in a chipper tone.

Evelyn dismissed him and went straight to the point. "Are you out of your mind? You can't just sell someone's organs online!" Evelyn took a deep breath to calm herself down.

Her nervousness was not unnoticed by Sheffield. He tried to comfort her, "Of course, I know that. Don't worry. I just wanted to spook him!"

Evelyn tittered and shook her head in amusement.

When she got to the hospital, Sheffield had already asked someone to wait for her in the parking lot. This person led her into the operating theater.

When she stepped inside, Calvert was lying on the operating table, sweating profusely, while Sheffield was standing next to him wearing a mask and gloves.

Evelyn's legs felt like jelly when she saw the scalpel in Sheffield's hand. "Don't do anything stupid, Sheffield!"

He winked at her and said, "Wait for me outside. I'll be done in a minute." He expertly slid his scalpel and made a slight cut on the skin of Calvert's abdomen.

Then, he grabbed a small piece of orange peel with tweezers and shook it in front of Calvert. He feigned a smile and said in a soft voice, "Hey! Look, orange skin! Don't be afraid."

Evelyn didn't know what he was going to do, but instead of worrying about Calvert, she was more worried about Sheffield's future. "I'll get angry if you don't stop right now, Sheffield!" she threatened.

"All right, very soon." He slipped the orange peel underneath the cut of Calvert's abdomen and quickly sewed his wound. "I'm almost done. Give me thirty seconds. I'm just stitching the wound."

A moment later, Sheffield took off his mask, threw the blood-stained gloves on the sink and walked over to her. "See? I stop

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.

To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.

"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."

She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.

Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.

"Yes, Miss Huo." Tayson went out and made a phone call.

Sheffield stopped them both. "Evelyn, I've sterilized that orange peel. He'll be okay even if he waits until tomorrow to get it out," he said.

Calvert remained silent. Flames of fury burned in her eyes as she cast a deadly glance at Sheffield and said, "Stop playing around. Can you just take it out for him right now?"

'Take it out for him? No way! I'm not doing this guy any favors!' Sheffield's smile froze on his face. "That's impossible. You're asking for too much!"

Evelyn snapped at him, "Then move away! Don't get in my way."

Sheffield insisted, "Evelyn, let him take care of himself."

"No! Get out of my way. Do you think you'll be able to take responsibility for him if something bad happens?"

"Of course I can!" It was just a small piece of orange peel. Nothing bad would happen to Calvert.

Evelyn felt a headache coming on. "Don't you think you are being too conceited? It's a matter of life and death. Are you telling me that you're capable of taking the responsibility of your actions? You were just trying to piss me off, weren't you?"

"I'm a doctor. I know the risks." It was kind of him not to dig out Calvert's kidney.

"This is the last time I'm going to tell you this. Get out of my way!" Evelyn had lost her temper.

To avoid pissing her off any further, Sheffield didn't say anything more and made way for them to leave.

Without further delay, Evelyn took Calvert straight to the outpatient department.
