Chapter 833 Jealousy
Chapter 833 Jealousy
Just a moment ago, Alice leaned on Kingsley's shoulder and felt an incredibly comforting and warm sensation. But Cecilia came and interrupted her before she could savor it, causing her tone to turn cold. Most importantly, in Alice's perspective, Kingsley belonged to their group of seven sisters. How dare others try to share him?
In response to Alice's cold words, Cecilia smiled and said, "With a responsible doctor like you, Dr. Kramer, I don't need to take care of my grandmother all the time. How about you? Don't you have patients to attend to?"
"I'm not on duty today," Alice replied coldly. "So, I don't have any patients to take care of, but I want to be with my dear brother." Turning to Kingsley, she added, "Isn't that right, King?"
In that instant, Kingsley felt sweat forming on his forehead. For the first time, he realized that dealing with women was more headache-inducing than facing enemies on the battlefield...
Kingsley's mouth twitched as he reluctantly replied, "Yes... Yes, whatever you say is right, Alice."
Upon hearing Kingsley's response, Alice raised an eyebrow and challenged Cecilia. "Miss Larson, you heard it. Kingsley wants to be with me, so you should go back and accompany your grandmother."
Cecilia felt at a disadvantage, and her slightly raised nose wrinkled as she was reluctant to admit defeat. However, she still held onto Kingsley's left arm tightly and refused to let go.
Witnessing this scene, Baron was astonished. He was also envious yet worried for Kingsley because although being favored by two stunning beauties simultaneously was every man's dream, both women seemed difficult to handle. It seemed like Kingsley was in a difficult situation.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
Even Wendell, lying on the bed, secretly listened in on the conversation while stealing glances in the direction of the couch. The scene of two women fighting over one man was quite rare.
Kingsley licked his lips and spoke up slowly. "Um... I actually came today to check on Wendell's injuries, and I have other things to do later..."
"I'll come with you." Cecilia smiled. "I don't have anything to do anyway!"
Alice retorted coldly, "Miss Larson, you're not a doctor, so what do you know about injuries? It's better if I accompany him."
"You said you aren't on duty today and don't have to take care of patients, right?" Cecilia smiled. "Alice, you have to treat all patients equally. Otherwise, how can you live up to your profession as a doctor?"
Seeing that the two of them were about to confront each other again, Kingsley quickly cleared his throat and cut in, "Alright, Cecilia, it won't do if no one takes care of Old Mrs. Fox. You should return to her."
He knew Matt and his son had basically fallen out with the Larsons. The fact that Cecilia came to visit Old Mrs. Fox today meant that the Foxes hadn't come. So, he speculated that there was no one taking care of Old Mrs. Fox for the time being.
Upon hearing Kingsley's words, Cecilia pursed her lips, and a hint of disappointment appeared in her eyes. However, Kingsley continued, "Alice, you just finished the night shift, so you should go back and rest early. Don't overwork yourself."
Neither of these two ladies was willing to back down, so Kingsley could only temporarily dismiss them both.
Seeing that Kingsley wasn't specifically targeting her, Cecilia smiled sweetly again and said, "Well then, Kingsley, if you have time, you must come to my house again. You can still stay in my room for the night."
Cough! Cough! Cough!
Upon hearing that, Baron choked on his own saliva. Wendell's eyes also widened in shock as he lay on the bed. He even forgot to continue pretending to be unconscious. This beautiful lady seemed to have that kind of relationship with Kingsley already. It was tough to tell that Kingsley had such capabilities.
Alice's expression fell, and she reached out and pinched Kingsley's waist. "King, so you've grown up, huh?"
