Chapter 347 - HOTS FOR ME (2/2)

”However, the limitations of this approach are obvious, especially when dealing with patients in a deep coma. My research is designed to harness the knowledge of electrical effects of the brain to trigger activity in the thalamus which mediates consciousness.”

As Hina continued with her presentation, Seiji remained dazed because he could not understand the changes in the crazy girl before him.

He still remembered when he first saw Hina. She was a punk with spiky hair, strange jewellery and questionable black clothing. Furthermore, the careless image was enhanced by that ridiculous sports car.

The discrepancy was just too wide: he could not reconcile with it.

For this reason, Seiji was bewildered throughout the presentation. He was only startled when people stood up to clap when Hina finished her presentation.

”Dr Yamazaki, I think that Dr Nishimura has the hots for me.” Dr Nomura spoke up as soon as the presentation finished, and the director dismissed them.

Seiji's face darkened at the words even though he was uncertain why he was annoyed by the harmless but ever pompous cosmetic surgeon.

”Why do you think that?” He bit out.

”Didn't you notice? First, she winked at me while talking to the director. Second, she stared at me with satisfaction before she began the presentation. What shall I do? I am a married man who is loyal to one tiger wife.” He sighed

”But on the other hand, I can't bear to break Dr Nishimura's heart. What if she gives up medicine because of me? I will have sinned against the world. What should I do? What should I do, Dr Yamazaki? Tell me!” Dr Nomura continued, his crazy imagination unstoppable.

Seiji could not bear the person twisting and turning like a little girl after being hit on for the first time. He knew that Nomura was wrong in his ȧssumptions, but he still felt uncomfortable. There was an impulse to punch the obnoxious guy he sometimes called friend.

”Seiji, Seiji, she is coming over!” Dr Nomura forgot to address Seiji correctly as he pulled on his sleeve excitedly.

Hina did not pay attention to the other doctors who were eyeing her like a delicious piece of steak. She went directly to Seiji and smiled at him happily.

”How was it, my dear Seiji? Was it a good surprise?” Hina laughed.

Dr Nomura looked between the two of them, and the truth sunk in. His maiden heart shattered like glass. But as usual, he recovered fast, and his ears became longer and wider as he tried to gather fresh gossip.

”So, last Saturday, you did not come specifically to pick me up for the party?” Seiji asked darkly.

Hina laughed awkwardly.

”I was finishing up some administrative procedures first and thought it was a brilliant idea for us to go together.” She said. ”Anyway, I look forward to you taking care of me.”
