CHAPTER 1281
"How could I trouble you, Dr. Thames?" Although they both worked for Andrew, Auntie Cherry felt that Dr. Thames was a doctor and her status was superior to a servant's. How could she let Dr. Thames do her job?
Dr. Thames smiled as she said, "Not at all, Auntie Cherry. On the contrary, I'll have to trouble you to prepare a hot water bag for Miss Turner."
"Okay, I should go get it ready now. Otherwise, Master Andrew is going to worry about Miss Turner again," Auntie Cherry handed the cup of ginger tea to Dr. Thames and hurriedly left, for fear that she would delay even for a second longer.
It was Dr. Thames who had asked Auntie Cherry to pass her the ginger tea. However, when Auntie Cherry actually handed it to her, she was exasperated. Why should she be the one serving that b*tch?
Why! Why should she be the one?
Dr. Thames was howling inwardly, but she did not dare to show it on her face. She had to continue to pretend to be the gentle, considerate and kind Dr. Thames.
Creak...
When Silvia heard that someone was opening the door, Silvia immediately poked her head out from the blanket. "Andrew, you..."
Before she could even finish, Silvia saw that the person who was entering the room was not Andrew, whom she was expecting. Instead, it was Dr. Thames, the last person she would ever want to see. "Miss Turner, it's me, not Master Andrew."
Silvia's face fell. "Who let you in?"
"Who let me in?"
"Don't you know that if it weren't for you, the hostess of this house would have been me? It's up to me to decide which room I want to go to. Who are you to question me?" This was what Dr. Thames thought, but she did not dare to say it out loud.
In front of Silvia, she continued her role as a sensible and beautiful doctor. "Miss Turner, Master Andrew said that you were unwell, so he asked me to take a look at you. This is the ginger tea that Auntie Cherry had prepared for you. You should drink it when it's still warm, I'm sure that you'll feel better after drinking it."
"Ginger tea?" Silvia's gaze shifted from Dr. Thames' smiling face to the cup in her hand. "Are you sure that this is ginger tea, and not some poison that you've prepared for me?"
Speaking of which, Dr. Thames had never done anything hostile to Silvia. No matter whether Andrew was around, Dr. Thames had always treated her with utmost respect. Logically speaking, Silvia should have liked Dr. Thames.
However, Silvia's intuition told her that Dr. Thames was coveting her Andrew. Therefore, she must not be good to Dr. Thames, or else she might fall into her trap.
"Miss Turner, if I really wanted to poison you, I would not be that stupid to do it in such an obvious way, right?" Dr. Thames put on a gentle smile and placed the cup of tea on the nightstand. "What's more, I've never thought of doing you any harm, Miss Turner.“
"You've never thought of doing any harm to me?" Silvia was certain that Dr. Thames was faking it, but she still sat up and drank the tea that Dr. Thames had brought over for her.
Silvia didn't believe that Dr. Thames had never actually thought about it. On the other hand,she absolutely believed that a smart woman like her would never spike the ginger tea.
Dr. Thames was the one who handed the tea to Silvia. If anything were to happen to Silvia after she had drunk it, Dr. Thames definitely would be the one responsible for it. Hence, Silvia was sure that Dr. Thames would not execute such a stupid plan on her.
Seeing that Silvia had finished the entire cup of tea, Dr. Thames smiled and said, "How are you feeling, Miss Turner?"
No matter what Silvia said to her,there would always be a polite smile on Dr. Thames' face. A person who never showed her emotions was the scariest. Silvia imitated Dr. Thames and smiled faintly. "I don't feel unwell. I just suddenly thought that the air in the room was contaminated..."
When Dr. Thames heard what Silvia had said, her body stiffened. However, it only happened at that split second. She immediately got back to her senses and asked, "Miss Turner, do you need me to open the window to let some fresh air in?"
"There's no need to do that." Silvia knew that Dr. Thames was a scheming woman so she wouldn't get irritated that easily. She did not want to waste time talking to Dr. Thames too, so she said. "Dr. Thames, thanks for the ginger tea. Since I've already finished the tea, perhaps, you can leave now?"
Dr. Thames said with composure, "Miss Turner, are you not planning to let me do some checks on you?“
Silvia waved her hand impatiently. "I'm fine now. You don't have to do that."
"It seems that your condition is not as bad as how Master Andrew had described..." Dr. Thames looked at Silvia and said, "Miss Turner, were you acting to be in pain to test whether Master Andrew would be worried about you?"
"Dr. Thames, since you're so interested in our affairs, there are two things that I feel like I should tell you about. Firstly, from now on, please address me as Mrs. Carter. Secondly, don't ever try to probe into me and my husband's affairs ever again, or else l will make you disappear from his side forever," Silvia said in an imposing manner.
She was Andrew's legal wife and the rightful Mrs. Carter. How could she tolerate a woman to act so atrociously in front of her?
"Miss Turner, I‘m not interested in your affairs at all…" As she spoke, Dr. Thames noticed something through the corner of her eye. She immediately changed the topic and said, "Miss Turner, Master Andrew really loves you. Please cherish his love for you and don't let him down."
Dr. Thames did not know that Silvia had also noticed the person who was quietly approaching the room.
Silvia could tell that this was not what Dr. Thames had intended to say to her. It was because she had noticed Andrew coming over that she had changed her words out of a sudden... Since Dr. Thames wanted to play, Silvia was willing to go along with it.
Silvia curled her lips and chuckled, "I know that Andrew loves me and I also want to be good to him, but I don't know how to be good to him. Dr. Thames, since you're older than me, could you please teach me a thing or two about it?"
Silvia had read about scenarios like these in soap operas. She was cleverer than Dr. Thames at such tricks. Just when Silvia finished her words, Andrew happened to step into the room.
When she saw Andrew, Silvia pretended to be surprised. However, Dr. Thames's quick response was even more unexpected than Silvia's. "Master Andrew, Miss Turner was just talking about you and you're here! It seems that your minds are in sync."
Silvia was dumbfounded.
Seemingly, this Dr. Thames was a master at facades!
Andrew did not respond to Dr. Thames. Instead, his gaze was fixed on Silvia. When he saw Silvia was looking at the bag in his hand, he felt a little embarrassed and immediately hid it behind his back.
They looked at each other so affectionately, completely neglecting Dr. Thames. So, she furtively clenched her fists and said, "Master Andrew, Miss Turner’s feeling a lot better after drinking the ginger tea."
CHAPTER 1282
"Master Andrew, I've already asked Auntie Cherry to prepare a hot water bag for Miss Turner. She will bring it here in a bit..."
"You can leave now!"
Before Dr. Thames could even finish, Andrew interrupted and asked her to go. Dr. Thames was slightly displeased. She wanted to speak up but she realized that Andrew's gaze was not on her at all.
Dr. Thames was furious like she was on the verge of exploding. However, she tried her best to hold it back in and said, "Okay, I'll leave you two here then."
Dr. Thames picked up her medical kit and took the last chance to assert herself before leaving. "Miss Turner, you can drink more of the ginger tea to warm up your body during your menstruation. I'll ask Auntie Cherry to prepare it for you, so remember to have it. Indeed, it's your body and it's up to you what you want to do with it. But please keep in mind that Master Andrew would be worried if you were to fall sick. So, please take good care of yourself."
"Thanks, Dr. Thames. I'll follow your advice and drink more ginger tea. I won't fall sick and make Young Master Carter worry about me." Dr. Thames' purpose of doing this was to put on a show for Andrew, so Silvia played along. How could she, the wife, lose to a vixen who had been coveting her husband.
However, the moment Dr. Thames left, the smile on Silvia's face disappeared. She glared fiercely at Andrew and remained silent. Then, she snuggled under the blanket and wrapped herself tightIy in it.
"What's wrong?" Andrew sat on the bed and gently pulled the quilt away. He put the hot water bag that he had gotten from Auntie Cherry on Silvia's abdomen and asked, "Would you really feel better by putting this on your tummy?"
"Yeah." Silvia was still angry with him so she did not want to talk to him. However, when she saw the caring look in his eyes, she could not bring herself to do that to him anymore. "Where did you get this?"
"Auntie Cherry prepared it for you. I saw her when I came back, so she gave it to me." While answering Silvia, Andrew carried a large bag he had brought back with him and put it on the bed. He unloaded a pile of sanitary pads and said, "I don't know which brand you were using, so I took all the brands available at the convenience store. Take a look and see if they're alright."
"You..." Looking at the dozens of sanitary pads or even hundreds of them, Silvia was stunned. It was after quite a while that she had gotten back to her senses. She really did not expect the high and mighty Young Master Carter would actually go out and buy something like this for her.
Was he not afraid of being laughed at for buying so many at once?
"What's the matter? You didn't find the brand that you like?" Seeing that Silvia was keeping her silence, Andrew was worried that he did not get the ones that Silvia wanted. "If that's the case, I will go out and get the ones that you want."
Seeing that he was being so anxious about it, Silvia felt that her heart was covered in honey. "You've already bought so many that I can probably use for more than a year and yet you say that you want to go out and buy more? Are you planning to buy them for your ex-lover?"
Andrew pinched her tender cheek and said, "What nonsense are you talking about again?"
Silvia pouted her lips at him. "Your Dr. Thames is waiting for you outside. You can go ask if there are any brands that she usually uses. If there is, you can give them to her."
"Silvia, are you trying to look for trouble here?" This woman just had the ability to piss him off with just one sentence. Did she really think that he had done this kind of thing for another woman?
"I'm just joking with you. Why are you so sensitive about it?“ Silvia held his hand. "I know that you won't do this for other women, but I'm just worried. I'm afraid that Dr. Thames will steal you away."
Silvia had mentioned Dr. Thames to him more than once, so Andrew felt that there was a need for him to make things clear to her. He did not want her to be worried and bothered by such a thing, so he explained, "Dr. Thames is just a private doctor employed by me. Otherwise, I have nothing to do with her. There wasn't anything before, and there won't be anything between her and me ever."
Andrew had always considered himself as a man of integrity. He would never touch nor would he even want to talk to a woman who he did not like.
If Andrew was interested in Dr. Thames, he would not have gotten together with Silvia. Silvia understood all this but she still wanted to voice her concern, so she said, "You might not be interested in her, but she's interested in you. Moreover, she would always show up by your side every now and then. She's beautiful and gentle too. What if you suddenly find her attractive one day?"
"Dr. Thames only sees me as her employer and she doesn't have any inappropriate feelings for me. That's something I'm very sure of." The reason why Andrew was so certain about it was that he had never once looked at Dr. Thames in the eyes, nor had he really cared about her. He thought that since he had no feelings for Dr. Thames, she would not have any feelings for him either.
"Andrew, are you really stupid or are you're just playing dumb?" Dr. Thames' admiration for him was so obvious that anyone could tell that she liked him. How could he be so confident that she was not interested in him?
Was it because he had thought too highly of Dr. Thames, or he had really underestimated his own charm? He was such a capable and good looking man. There was a whole bunch of women who would want to throw themselves at him if they had the chance.
However, Andrew obviously did not notice his own advantage. He did not know how excellent he was, nor did he know how attractive he was to other women.
"Okay, let's stop talking about Dr. Thames already. Take a look at these first, leave out the ones you want, and I will deal with the others later." Andrew had already made up his mind. Since Silvia did not like Dr. Thames, he would definitely not keep her by his side anymore.
Between his employees and his wife, Andrew would choose his wife without hesitation.
"Since you have paid for them, I'll just keep them. I'm not picky anyway. I can use all of them." Most of the time, Silvia would still feel the pinch when she saw how Andrew was spending his money. If he had so much money to splurge, he should have given it all to her instead.
Andrew said, "Okay, I'll make sure that I pay attention to the brand you like. I won't make the same mistake again."
Silvia asked, "Do you mean that you're going to buy it for me again?"
Prince once said that a man buying sanitary pads for his girlfriend was such an embarrassing thing that it could only be done once in a lifetime. Why was Andrew still willing to help her buy them again?
Andrew said with certainty, "If I don't buy it for you, who else do you want to buy it for you?"
Silvia said, "Do you not think that it's something embarrassing to do?"
An entire scenario of Andrew buying sanitary pads played in Silvia's mind. The tall and handsome Andrew was in the convenience store, looking at the varieties of sanitary pads on the shelves. He was totally clueless about which ones he should get, so he tilted his head and looked at the store assistant standing next to him.
His sharp gaze terrified the store assistant. She did not dare to approach him and could only ask him from a distance, "Sir, i-is there anything I can do for you?"
He pointed to the sanitary pads on the shelf and said, "Pack all these up for me!"
CHAPTER 1283
When she imagined the scenario of Andrew buying them, Silvia felt warm yet amused. She smiled and looked at him with her eyebrows curved. "Did the store assistant think that you're a weirdo for buying so many sanitary pads?"
"Why would she think so?" Although the store assistant did take a few more glances at him, Andrew did not feel that there was anything inappropriate for him to buy sanitary pads for his wife.
Andrew thought it was a husband's duty to help his wife out when it came to such intimate matters.
"Nothing..." As Silvia looked at his solemn face, she felt that she was the happiest woman in this world. "Andrew, come closer to me."
"Why?" Andrew complied and got closer to her. Just as he was getting close to her, she suddenly clutched her arms around his neck and kissed him on the corner of his mouth.
After the kiss, Silvia quickly retreated. However, Andrew refused to let her go. He held her waist, pulled her body against his, and started kissing her overbearingly.
The more Andrew kissed her, the more absorbed he was. Just as he was preparing for his next move, SiIvia suddenly pushed him away. "Andrew, we should stop here...l can't do it today..."
The veins on Andrew's forehead emerged, and he had a somber expression on his face. He was obviously dissatisfied that Silvia had turned him on when she was not supposed to. However, he still let go of her. He got up and said, "I'll be out for a while."
Silvia wanted to grab hold of him, but she was a second slower. Andrew turned around and strode out of the room. Silvia's heart was in her mouth when Andrew shut the door and left. "This man wouldn't go to Dr. Thames to vent his lust, would he?" Silvia thought.
Dr. Thames probably had not left the house yet, so it was very likely that Andrew would bump into her.
No, she must not let Andrew run into Dr. Thames at times like this.
When a man was turned on, he would only think with his lower body. If Dr. Thames happened to take the opportunity to get close to him and Andrew happened to lose control of himself, Silvia would be the one regretting it.
"I must not let such a thing happen!"
Silvia got out of bed and went to the bathroom to freshen up. She changed into a clean set of pajamas and went out to look for Andrew. She carefully arrived at his room, but he was not there.
Silvia then turned around and went over to Andrew's study. She raised her hand and was about to knock on the door when she heard Dr. Thames' voice in the study. "Master Andrew, did you look for me?"
"F*ck, Dr. Thames is here!" Silvia cursed. "Don't tell me that this man really couldn't hold it in, so he went to look for Dr. Thames?"
Silvia really wanted to kick the door open, but a voice sounded once again. The person who was speaking this time was Andrew. "Dr. Thames, you don't have to come here anymore."
What did it mean that she didn't have to come here anymore?
Silvia put her ears against the door for fear that she would miss out on any of their conversation. Then, she heard Dr. Thames saying, "Master Andrew. I don't quite understand what you mean."
"Your employment will come to end at this instant. Since I was the one breaching the contract, I will ask my man to pay you a sum of money as a compensation." Andrew sounded indifferent, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
Was Andrew sacking Dr. Thames?
Did he fire Dr. Thames because Silvia didn't like her?
Because of these thoughts, Silvia was boiling with excitement.
Dr. Thames' voice sounded once again. "Master Andrew, are you not satisfied with my work? Or...“
Andrew added, "You've done a great job. It's just that I don't need you here anymore."
"But why?" Dr. Thames' voice became a little high-pitched. Perhaps, she had realized it too, so she immediately calmed down and said in a gentle voice, "Master Andrew, could you please tell me the reason why you're dismissing me?"
"It's because my wife doesn't like you." Dr. Thames wanted a clear answer, so Andrew mercilessly gave her an honest yet harsh reply.
Andrew's words warmed Silvia's heart. Before this, she had never thought that Andrew would ever fire Dr. Thames, who had taken care of him for so many years on Silvia's behalf.
It was totally unexpected! If it weren't for Dr. Thames's presence,Silvia would have already barged into the room to hug Andrew and kiss him.
Meanwhile, Dr. Thames' heart ached when she heard Andrew's words. She thought that as long as she continued being a good doctor, she would be able to stay by Andrew's side. She never thought that he would chase her away just because Silvia disliked her.
She had been by his side for more than three years now, and she did her best to care for him. Whenever he suffered from the sequelae of his previous illness, she would always be the one who would save him from the jaws of death. However, he was now driving her away because of that b*tch.
What an ungrateful man!
No, he was not an ungrateful person nor was he a heartless man. It was because he had given all his love and care to the others. However, even if he was not willing to give her anything, she was unwilling to give him up. “Master Andrew, Miss Turner..."
"She is my wife." Andrew emphasized. When Silvia heard that, she thought that Andrew might have overheard her conversation with Dr. Thames from earlier, but he chose not to say anything.
"Master Andrew, does Mrs. Carter have a prejudice against me?" Dr. Thames stayed by his side for three years. She would not give up that easily. "If that's really the case, I am willing to apologize to her."
"This is my decision. I hope that you will not show up in front of her ever again. I've already said what I wanted to say. You can leave now." Considering that Dr. Thames had worked for Andrew for three years, his words were merciless.
"Master Andrew… " Dr. Thames knew Andrew very well. Once he had made up his mind, he would not change his mind regardless of what she had said.
Hence, she turned around arrogantly, so that she could leave him a perfect impression of herself. "In that case, I have nothing else to say. However, I still hope that you will take your medicine on time. You can only take good care of your wife when you're in good health. I'll get going now, and I will never appear before your wife ever again."
Silvia, who was eavesdropping at the door, really wanted to give Dr. Thames a thumbs-up. Given the circumstances, Dr. Thames could still continue with her pretentious act. Her forbearance was extraordinary!
Silvia could hear footsteps approaching, so she quickly stepped aside. Soon, she saw Dr. Thames opening the door and stepping out of the study. When Dr. Thames walked out of the door, she could no longer keep the poised and elegant look on her face. In an instant, her face had become somewhat ferocious.
Dr. Thames took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. However, she noticed Silvia standing next to her. Dr. Thames's expression turned vicious and bloodthirsty as if she would ravage Silvia to death that instant.
CHAPTER 1284
Silvia was unfazed as she looked at Dr. Thames's fierce gaze. lnstead, she gave Dr. Thames a brilliant and harmless smile, indicating that she would be happy to see her gone.
Silvia's smile ignited the fire hidden deep in Dr. Thames's heart. Since Silvia was convinced that Dr. Thames wanted to snatch Andrew away, her pretentious act would all be in vain.
Dr. Thames walked up to Silvia and whispered softly, as if it was meant only for Silvia's ears, "Silvia, keep your excitement down. We can't be sure who will end up as the winner in the end."
“Huh?" Silvia pursed her lips and smiled gently. She also whispered in Dr. Thames's ears, "He is my husband. Anyone who wants to take him away from me is my enemy."
"Huh..." Dr. Thames sneered and said, "You b*tch, don't get carried away. Without his protection, you are nothing. It will be so easy to send you to hell."
Silvia smiled brightly. "You are right. I'm nothing without his protection, so thank you for your warning. I'll hold on tight to him and never let go." Not only was she chased away by Andrew, but Dr. Thames was also unable to gain the upper hand in the debate with Silvia.
Dr. Thames had never been humiliated like this before. She tried to calm herself down and said, "Great, you better hold on tight to him. If not, I will make you die in the ugliest possible way."
"Of course..." Silvia nodded like a good student. "I will remember Dr. Thames's hospitable advice and will never let myself die before you."
"Let‘s wait and see!" This b*tch was useless, but she had a sharp tongue. Dr. Thames couldn't take advantage of her. She was so furious that she turned around and left.
She kept telling herself not to be angry, not to be triggered by Silvia's words. Since Silvia had a sharp tongue, she would just tear her mouth apart one day to vent her anger.
"Dr. Thames, you don't look good. ls Miss Turner in bad shape?" When she walked to the first floor, Dr. Thames met Auntie Cherry who thought that something had happened to Silvia.
All about Miss Turner again... Everyone in the family was focused on that b*tch. Did they ever show regard for Dr. Thames?
Obviously, no one cared about her, even Auntie Cherry, the servant. It was obvious that Dr. Thames was angry because of Silvia, but Auntie Cherry still cared about that b*tch.
"Dr. Thames, is Miss Turner's condition that serious?" Seeing that Dr. Thames's face was turning more and more gloomy, the first thing Auntie Cherry thought of was still Silvia. When she thought of that and how Andrew would be worried for her, Auntie Cherry's heart was dangling too.
"Miss Turner is fine... It's just that I'm not feeling well." Dr. Thames strained for a long time before she finally managed to say these words calmly.
"Thank God! Fortunately..." Auntie Cherry cried out. She was slow to realize that Dr. Thames was not feeling well. "Dr. Thames, I mean, it's fortunate that Miss Turner is fine... Are you not feeling well? Do you need me to get a doctor for you?"
"I'm fine." Dr. Thames clenched her fists. Just now, she also branded Auntie Cherry as another who invoked her wrath. When she became the hostess of this family one day, the first thing she would do was to get rid of this dense old woman. "By the way Auntie Cherry, is Miss Turner taking medicine to regulate her body these days?"
"Yes. Miss Turner is taking some medicine, but not like ordinary patients. Instead, it's added to her favorite food. She gets to treat her body and enjoy her food at the same time." Auntie Cherry could go on forever when it came to this subject. "Master Andrew cares so much about Miss Turner. He really went out of his way for everything. I'm so happy to see the two of them being so in love."
Auntie Cherry saw how good Andrew was treating Silvia. Out of delight, she wanted to share this happy news with Dr. Thames, who was her colleague of sorts. Alas, Cherry did not realize that Dr. Thames was not as she seemed...
Auntie Cherry's words were like a needle piercing into Dr. Thames's heart, but she could not let others see the pain in it. "Master Andrew treats Miss Turner well, but she..." Dr. Thames pretended to have spilled the beans and quickly swerved the topic. "Auntie Cherry, who is the doctor who prescribed the medicine to Miss Turner?"
Auntie Cherry did not suspect anything and answered honestly, "It's the famous Dr. Jones from First People Hospital."
"I see. Dr. Jones is well known for her skill and ethics. I believe that Miss Turner will soon recover and give birth to a child for Master Andrew." Dr. Thames did not want to hear about Andrew's love for Silvia anymore. She raised her hand and looked at the time. "It's getting late. I am going back. Auntie Cherry, you should rest early as well."
"Dr. Thames, let me walk you to the door." Thinking that Dr. Thames still came to see Silvia at such a late time, Auntie Cherry sincerely expressed her gratitude to Dr. Thames. She thought that she should send Dr. Thames to the gates at least.
Since Auntie Cherry wanted to see her off, Dr. Thames did not refuse. Along the way, she did not speak because Auntie Cherry had been enthusing over the things Andrew had done for Silvia.
Finally, they arrived at the gate at the courtyard. Dr. Thames looked back at Auntie Cherry and asked, "Auntie Cherry, why do you think Master Andrew likes Miss Turner?"
Auntie Cherry smiled and said, "Miss Turner is witty and kind. She is very likable."
"That's how you perceive her to be..." Dr. Thames smiled and said, "What I'm trying to say is that Master Andrew is powerful and influential. He is never short of any experience when it comes to women. Why would he suddenly be interested in such a young girl whom he had only met once?"
Auntie Cherry sighed, "Perhaps this is fate. Meeting the right person at the right time."
Dr. Thames said, "Fate is an amazing thing...“
"i heard from Butler Banks that Master Andrew had met Miss Turner two years ago, but I didn't know where that was." Auntie Cherry was not usually talkative. She spoke so much to Dr. Thames because she also wanted to share her joy about the matter.
"Is that so?" Dr. Thames had been by Andrew's side for three years. She was clear about everything that had happened around him, but she had never heard that Andrew first met Silvia two years ago.
She always thought that it was the first time for Andrew to see that b*tch at the black market. She thought that he wanted to save her because of her pretty face.
It seemed that this was not the case.
Since he had met Silvia two years ago, then it was not a coincidence for Andrew to meet Silvia when she was being auctioned off at the black market.
CHAPTER 1285
"I heard from Butler Banks, so it should be true. Otherwise, with Master Andrew's personality, he would never bring a girl back home after meeting her only once. I think the reason he took Miss Turner home was that he had long been interested in her." Auntie Cherry regarded Dr. Thames as someone she could trust, so she just shared her thoughts freely.
"He's long been interested in Miss Turner? Then why didn't he bring her home earlier?" Dr. Thames could not get her head around this point.
"Err... Well..." Auntie Cherry only said it casually, her words failed her if she was asked why. "These are all unfounded opinions. We can't possibly guess Master Andrew's thoughts."
"Auntie Cherry, Master Andrew won't like us discussing his private matters. It's okay that you spoke to me about it, but remember not to tell anyone else." Dr. Thames's advice seemed to be out of concern for Auntie Cherry. But in fact, she was pushing the blame on Auntie Cherry and stripping herself of any responsibility.
Auntie Cherry said, "Dr. Thames, we have been around Master Andrew for many years. We get on well with each other, so that is why I told you so much. I dare not say a word in front of others."
"Of course, I know." Dr. Thames smiled and said, “Auntie Cherry, I‘ll be off now. You should also get some rest earlier. It's getting cold these days, remember to put on more clothes. Don't catch a cold!"
"Yes, I will. Dr. Thames, you have to take care of yourself too." Auntie Cherry was elderly, but she had no children. Few people showed concern towards her, so Dr. Thames's passing remarks touched her so much that her eyes reddened.
Auntie Cherry was moved, but Dr. Thames did not really care about Auntie Cherry at all. On her way back home, all she could think about was Andrew and Silvia.
Andrew had a weird temper. Although he was a businessman, he never attended social events. Hence, he would not have gone to the black market for no reason.
Dr. Thames had been by Andrew's side for many years. She had only seen him go to the black market once, and he happened to meet Silvia that time.
It was not a spur of the moment that Andrew suddenly took his men to the black market, nor was it a coincidence. He must have received some news and rushed to save Silvia from Norman.
Yes, Dr. Thames should have thought of it earlier, but she had never ventured in that way. She had been foolishly thinking that it was Andrew's first time seeing Silvia at the black market.
According to Dr. Thames's understanding of Andrew, Andrew's character was quite eccentric. During these years, apart from working, he did not pay much attention to anyone. Only by seeing Silvia once, he had already remembered her and formed a good impression of her. This possibility was very low.
Since she could not get a breakthrough from Andrew, Dr. Thames changed her target to Silvia. She admitted that Silvia was pretty, but there were innumerable beautiful women in the world. Why would Andrew, such an excellent and powerful man, choose Silvia among a throng of beautiful women?
There must be some secrets that she didn't know.
Dr. Thames had many unanswered questions in her mind. With these questions, she once again rushed to Felix's temporary residence.
She was on the way.
These days, Felix wasn't doing well. He couldn't fall asleep even when it was late into the night. All he could think about was Silvia. He kept replaying in his mind the little things between them in the past.
When he thought that the girl he had doted on was taken away by another man, he felt as if there was a fire burning in his heart. He could not bear the pain.
His mind was filled with memories of Silvia. Since he could not fall asleep, he simply got up, picked up a bottle of white wine from the bedside, and guzzled it like water.
"Knock, knock!"
He was drinking when the door was suddenly knocked on. He paused for a moment before he continued to down the whole bottle. After finishing the battle, he came to the door and saw the woman outside through the peephole.
He opened the door and let Dr. Thames in. "It's so late. What are you doing here?"
Or. Thames said, "I am here to tell you that since your woman does not like me, Andrew has already dismissed me."
"What did you do to her?" As soon as Dr. Thames finished her words, Felix was so flustered that he grabbed Dr. Thames by her collar and stared coldly at her. "I warned you that if you dare to touch her, I'll never let you go.“
"You're that unwilling to part with her? You're that worried about her?" Dr. Thames looked at Felix's hand and threw him a series of questions. "Felix, are you sure you still want her?"
Felix slowly loosened his grip. He said between his gnashed teeth, "Yes! She was mine in the first place. Why can't I have her?"
Dr. Thames continued, "Felix, you have to understand. Silvia is no longer your woman. She is no longer the Silvia who loves you. She walked away with another man, and she doesn't love you anymore. Andrew has done everything that you wanted to do for her in the past. Every night, the woman you love making love to the man you hate!"
"So what?“ Felix clenched his fists, his gaze sinister and terrifying. "As long as she's willing to return to my side, I won't care about what happened in the past."
"You really don't care? Can you really do that?" Which man could stand his beloved woman having s‘x with another man? Dr. Thames knew the mind of men too well. They would definitely mind!
"I wouldn't mind anything as long as she comes back." Felix said it to Dr. Thames, but it was also for himself. He wanted to convince himself that as long as Silvia returned to his side, he would not care about what had happened during this period of time.
Dr. Thames sneered and said, "You are such a fool!"
Felix gave a mocking smile. "Fool? Am I? I really hope that I can be a bit more foolish and ignorant. I won't have to suffer every day. I won't have to rely on sleeping pills!"
Dr. Thames looked at him for a long time before finally asking, "Felix, if she doesn't want to come back to you, what are you going to do?"
"No, she won't. She isn't willing to stay by Andrew's side. As long as she knows that I‘m still alive, she will definitely return to my side!" Felix continued to emphasize. Perhaps he was trying to convince Dr. Thames or perhaps... himself.
"Felix, she betrayed the feelings you shared between the two of you. Why are you torturing yourself like this?" Dr. Thames sniffed the strong smell of alcohol on his body and looked at the wine bottles in the room. She sighed, "Don't torture yourself anymore. If you go on like this, how could you take on Andrew Carter?"
