Mr George, Don't Be So Arrogant

Chapter 40 You Were Pregnant Too?

She looked up in surprise. The man above her head was smiling to her gently. His smile was as warm

as the sunlight in early spring.

After Riley came to herself, she broke away from his arms immediately and kept the largest distance

from him. Her face darkened and didn’t show any expression. She looked as cold as the snow in

winter.

William smiled softly, “I am sorry. I did that to avoid more misunderstandings. I was in a rush and

offended you. Sorry.”

As clear as a crystal, he looked polite and educated. Riley felt like she shouldn’t be angry with him, or

she would look petty.

“You came to find me, right? I was looking for you too.”

She didn’t want to waste any time and came straight to the point.

“Find you? I didn’t know you were in the hospital. You took a night shift yesterday. You are supposed to

be home and resting.”

She forgot it.

“Do you know...” Riley wanted to speak it out but then stopped. After all it was a scandal, how could

she just say it out loud without feeling embarrassed?

“I saw the news on the forum too. I was going to the control room on the first floor to check the CCTV

footage.”

He thought of it too?

Riley nodded with gratitude. But she still didn’t show any emotions on the face, “I am going too. I must

find the culprit. I am not going to just let this go.”

William looked at Riley, who was like a little leopard that was so angry that the hair on her was all

standing. Somehow, he thought the angry Riley was way cuter than the normal one. When she was

angry, her eyebrows were wrung together. She knitted her eyebrows. Her lips, which were little, tender

and pink, were pursed inwards. Her little face wrinkled. She looked innocent and attractive.

“I will help you.” William said firmly.

Riley looked at him, “Of course you are going to help me. We are both involved in this matter. But I am

the only one who is being accused by everyone else.”

William smiled like a gentleman, “Don’t worry. I will not run away. We are going to go through this

together. If necessary, you can say I am your boyfriend.”

Boyfriend?

“No need. Vice president Hardesty, it’s very nice of you to say that...”

“Dr. Watson, what are you rejecting?”

“I...nothing!”

The elevator door opened, and two of them strode towards the control room.

But the CCTV footage was deleted by someone ahead of time. There was no trace of anything!

Damn it!

Now what? If they couldn’t find the culprit, how could she clarify her innocence? Rumor was just like a

bottomless pit. Once you fell into it, you could only keep going down. In the end, she might be a target

for all!

All of a sudden, William held Riley’ wrist, “Follow me.”

“Vice president, what are you doing?”

They hurried out of the control room on the first floor. William held Riley’s wrist and walked out of the

revolving door. When they went through the revolving glass door, a dark shadow came in. It was a man

who was carrying a woman with his arms. The blue veins on Riley’s forehead stood out. Why did that

person's silhouette look so familiar?

Euan, who walked past them just now, looked back and saw Riley’s hand was held by a man in

doctor’s gown. At the revolving door, two of them exited and two of them entered. It happened so fast.

It was like fate was playing a trick on four of them.

“Vice president Hardesty, what are you doing?”

Outside the hospital, Riley threw away William’s hand and questioned him while gasping.

William looked around the big garden in the hospital. Hibiscus and rose were all blooming now. They

were colorful and beautiful. Their fragrance was all over the garden.

“I was afraid that if you couldn’t get some fresh air, you were going to suffocate to death in there. You

are not fit to go in there now. Take a walk here, or go out to have a nice meal. Or maybe go back to

have a sound sleep.”

Agitated by what William said, Riley snorted smiling, “Of course, you are standing aloof from this matter

on the ground that it is no concern of yours. Your face isn’t showed in the picture, so you are not

worried at all.”

“Then please answer me, Dr. Watson. You were so worried. Did it produce any fruit?”

“I need to do something.”

Riley looked up at him stubbornly. She was like a stubborn little girl and a capable woman who didn’t

accept failure at the same time. At this moment, in William’s eyes, Riley looked more attractive and

stunning.

A slight breeze was stirring the flowers. Meanwhile, the phone in her pocket began vibrating. So she

stopped looking at William and the many thoughts that were plaguing her mind were stopped too.

“Get to the department of gynaecology and obstetrics.”

The voice was as cold as ice and almost went through Riley’s spine. The voice in the phone was

commanding her again as if she was born to do as it said. The only one who would talk to her like that

was Euan George.

She put her phone back to her pocket, “I am going in.”

“Dr. Watson, are you a masochism?”

She smiled, “Just think of me as one.”

Riley walked ahead, and William chased after her. They were both walking fast. But still, at the

revolving door, William fell behind and Riley walked in first. Therefore, she entered the elevator first.

Then Riley disappeared in William’s sight.

At the department of gynaecology and obstetrics and outside the office of Lydia’s attending doctor, a

tall man was standing there with one hand in his pocket. He looked inviolable.

Riley took a deep breath and walked to him, “How is she?”

Euan didn’t look back. During the several minutes when he stood here waiting for the results, he had

already heard all kinds of stories about Riley.

In different stories, there were different adjectives and sarcasms. He kept hearing new words they used

to describe Riley.

Riley worked in this hospital, and now they were all targeting her. Was it because she really did what

they said, or was it because she was envied and framed by others?

“The doctor is checking her. If something happens to her...”

“You said it already. If something happens to her, you are not going to let me walk free. It has only been

several hours. I didn’t forget it yet.”

Euan was feeling a bit sorry for her just now. But her aggressiveness put it all out now.

Now that she was so capable and confident, even if the sky fell, she could cope with it all by herself!

The news that Lydia was carried by Euan to the hospital soon spread out. In several minutes, the

hospital was overflown with journalists who were crowding together like sardines.

And some journalists even managed to pass through the security guards and got into the department of

gynaecology and obstetrics!

JD Central Hospital was crowded and bustling with people today. Lydia was the patient. The president

of the MBK International Corporation was waiting for the results. And the protagonist of the latest

scandal was standing at the office door of Lydia’s attending doctor too.

With eyes blazing with fire, the journalists exerted all efforts to catch the opportunity. The news was

going to be a bomb this time!

“Ms. Watson, some informant said that when you were working night shift last night, you interacted

intimately with a strange man in the office. Can you tell us if it is true?”

“Dr. Watson, you resolved a medical dispute not long ago and in the end, the patient’s family

apologized to you as a whole, which opened a page for the relationship between doctors and patient’s

family. Did you really manage it through doing something in secrecy?”

“Dr. Watson, who is the man in the picture? What’s your relationship? Are you lovers? Or is he, as the

informant said, just a strange man?”

Lovers?

Hearing this word, Euan, whose back was facing the journalists, frowned. He didn’t do or say anything,

awaiting her answer.

But Riley peeked at Euan’s quickly and secretly, wanting to see his reaction.

As she had expected, Euan didn’t have any reaction.

She was not Lydia Saunders and hadn’t received any professional PR training. She couldn’t polish her

answers with any high-sounding words. Not scared or self-debased, she just followed her heart and

kept silent for the whole time.

Euan kept silent for the whole time too as if he didn’t know the woman beside him. At this moment, the

office door of Lydia’s attending doctor opened. As the family member who accompanied the patient,

Euan walked in.

In the corridor, the journalists kept bombing Riley with questions. She didn’t have anyone to depend on

now. She hadn’t been expecting Euan would help her, but she couldn’t accept that Euan abandoned

her and directly left either.

He didn’t even show a bit of compassion for her.

“Dr. Watson, you are the doctor of the department of cardiology. Why are you doing here?”

“Riley Watson, are you here to do the pregnancy test too? Then whose baby are you carrying?”

God!

Pregnancy test? Pregnancy!

The journalists were really good at making a fuss over a trifle.

Because of these questions, Riley felt fidget and agitated. The situation was unfavorable to her. She

must leave immediately!

When she was about to leave, the office door was opened. Euan carried Lydia with his arms and

walked out. Lydia, who looked as tender and weak as a willow branch, buried her head in Euan’s chest.

The sight full of love made people around envious.

“Lydia! Lydia Saunders is out!”

Hearing this cry, the journalists all rushed forward. Pushed by them, Riley couldn’t help but step back.

Her shoulders and feet were both injured seriously. Suffering from the pain, she could hear the

repulsive scream and laughter beside her ears.

For such a nobody as her, even if she was in the center of a scandal, the journalists would all abandon

her as soon as they laid their eyes on Lydia Saunders. Riley tried hard to break away from the crowd

and left the department of gynaecology and obstetrics.

The noise and excitement behind were all thrown away by her.

She thought she could just walk away as an outsider. But she didn’t know the lofty and proud woman

could directly knock her to the hell with a simple question.

“Dr. Watson, where are you going?”

Through the microphone, what Lydia said softly was magnified a hundred times and rang through the

corridor.

Stimulated, the journalists became more excited. They were swept off their feet!

The big star Lydia Saunders knew this ordinary doctor?

Riley’s feet stopped suddenly and she couldn’t walk forward anymore.

Lydia gently pulled Euan’s collar as if she didn’t have any strength left. The grievance on her face was

touching and she looked like she was about to cry. With agony and pain, she said word by word, “Dr.

Watson, I once asked you to dispense medicine that can nourish the baby for me. But I didn’t think you

would put poison in my medicine and try to kill my baby.”

What?!

The doctor from the department of cardiology dispensed medicine for Lydia Saunders and tried to kill

her baby! What on earth was this!

“Ms. Saunders. Ms. Saunders, what’s your relationship with Riley Watson?”

“Do you have any personal animosity towards her?”

The journalists’ hearts were at their throats. This was a shocking news! It was even more shocking than

the news concerning Riley before!

Lydia looked at Euan, who didn’t have any expression at all. After hearing what the doctor said and

Lydia’s crying and weeping, Euan had already believed them with no question. The scale in his heart

had tilted.

“Dr. Watson, we know each other and we were once friends. How could you do this to me just because

you are jealous that I am famous and have found a good man?”

Bang! Bang! Bang!

All present froze with shock! Riley Watson...was a friend of Lydia Saunders and tried to kill her baby out

of jealousy?!

What Lydia did was cruel and ferocious! She was full of nonsense.

Hearing Lydia spitting out crap, Riley felt like the top of her skull was about to jump up. She opened her

eyes wide, “What’s are you talking about!? Lydia Saunders!”

Lydia smiled softly, “It’s alright that you don’t admit it. I don’t want to hold it against you either. I just feel

sad and sorry for our friendship in the past.”

The journalists were all crazy now! Their microphones all targeted Riley. These microphones were like

grenades which would bomb her to pieces at any moment!

“Dr. Watson, is it true that you took advantage of your occupation and harmed Ms. Saunders?”

“Dr. Watson, what you did was illegal and your license should be revoked!” Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Dr. Watson, you attempted to murder a baby. Aren’t you afraid that it will cost you your life too!”

The questions were getting more and more outrageous. They were bullying her with words. She felt like

she was about to be devoured by these tsunami and flooding.

She looked through the journalists which were like blood-thirsty sharks and stared at Euan and Lydia in

the eye. She gave them a bitter smile, which was so bitter that her throat run dry. She couldn’t spit out

a single word.

The gorgeous face of Euan looked spotless and perfect. His deeps eyes were so bright under the light.

His eyebrows were like a strong wind or a blazing fire. His thin lips were kept closed.

There were many emotions on his face, but not compassion.

Her heart was broken in half by a hawkbill.

“What are you doing!”

A clear, cold and aggressive voice travelled through the corridor, interrupting the journalists’ bustling

and rudeness.

A figure in white showed up. Under the bright light, the figure looked glamorous.

Followed by several leaders of the hospital, William walked towards the crowd. The several figures in

white forced upon the journalists like a strong and fierce tornado.

Riley looked up in shock and saw William’s eyes which were brimming with radiating vigour.
