Chapter 280 - Mrs Doctor (1/2)
Slowly, Cixi opened her eyes when she sensed that something was off.
When she woke up a minute back, without openingher eyes, she thought the place smelt unfamiliar and even the bed she was lying on was softer than the one she usually slept on.
'Something is not right' She concluded before slowly opening her eyes. And just as she thought, she was in an unfamiliar room.
Since the windows were down, the place was not so bright but she could still see that it was morning already.
She sat up immediately and began to search around for her purse after checking herself to be sure someone had not messed with her.
It did not take long before she found her purse on top of the shelf beside the bed.
Now, she took a proper look at the bedroom. It was arranged and looked like an hotel room but for some reason, she knew this was not an hotel room.
And her guess was right when she opened the room door to find herself in a passage which led her to a sitting room.
They were hotel suites that obviously looked like this. But she was very sure this was someone's house.
”You're awake” She heard a male voice say to her from the dining immediately she entered the sitting room.
Cixi stared at him in confusion. She wondered who the man was and how she ended up in his bed.
”Who are you and how did I get here?” She finally voiced out what was in her mind as she saw him approach her.
He was a fine young man, probably in his late thirties or early forties. He wore a black long-sleeved shirt and black pants, with a house slipper.
His hair was a bit messy but his skin was clean; clean enough to tell one that he had never experienced hardship in his life.
”My name is Jaime. Luo Jaime.” He introduced himself once he stood in front of her.
”Ya... So how did I get here?” She pressed on.
”I saw you passed out on the streets and brought you here. Thankfully, it was nothing very serious” He summarised.
”I was passed out on the streets?” She asked in surprise and confusion.
She thought it made sense to have passed out because, she could not remember anything other than crying her eyes out while dying of cold.
Even though she believed what he had just told her, she still looked at him suspiciously.
She was sure nothing else happened since she was still wearing the clothes she had left the house on— a simple trousers and sweatshirt.
But she still looked at him suspiciously.
Why would he bring her to his house instead of a hospital?
”Did you nurse me back?” She asked him.
”I did.” He admitted with a nod.
”What? Why didn't you just take me to a hospital?”
”Because I hate hospitals and do not go there for any reason”
”In case you are still wondering, I tried checking your phone for any relative's number I could call but it was locked.” He further explained to clear every doubt she was having.
Whatever else he was saying did not seem to concern her. The only thing that concerned her was the previous statement he had made. He hated hospitals?
”What do you mean by you hate hospitals? How does that affect me? If someone is sick, you should take them to the hospital for proper check up” She lectured in annoyance at his statement.
”Ah.. I know why you are sounding this way Mrs Doctor. But we all have what we like and hate. And for the things I hate, going to the hospital is one of them. Let's not say much on that. You are well after all” He quickly dismissed the topic.
Cixi raised a brow to look at him curiously. ”How did you know I am a doctor?”
She was beginning to wonder whether he was a stalker before she heard him say.
”Oh! I also checked your purse for any information or number. I saw your ID and that's how I know you are a doctor” He explained.
