Chapter 23: Scarlett Intended to Let Shirley…
Chapter 23: Scarlett Intended to Let Shirley…
It was not that she couldn’t trust Shirley.
Just a moment ago, after going through Shirley’s plan, she even held high hopes for Shirley…
It was just that…
She didn’t want to bring any more pain to Bryan. After that incident, he was getting even lesser sleep.
“Madame Moore, is there something stopping you?” Shirley’s sharp gaze swept through Scarlett and
her nanny behind. From their eyes, she could discern that there was some anguish and difficulty.
Something serious must have happened to Bryan when he was young. That must be the reason they
all had such solemn expressions on their faces.
For her, she always prioritized respect!
She would respect her patient’s willingness and formulated a suitable plan so that she could guide him
or her smoothly.
“If that’s the case, then you don’t need to tell me, Madame Moore. If I can get him to talk about his past
with his own mouth, it will be immensely helpful in his road to recovery. We should take things step by
step. There is no reason to rush now.” Shirley revealed a kind smile.
Scarlett was even more satisfied with her as her gentle face now bore a consolation smile, “Then, I’ll
leave everything to you, Dr. Thomas.”
“It’s not a bother at all. This is my obligation.” Shirley pressed her lips into a line as her impression of
this traditional-thinking and stubborn was taking a turn for the better.
It seemed that she couldn’t just take the words of outsiders at face value.
The nanny standing behind her took a step forward and held Scarlett’s arm, “Madame Moore, it’s
almost ten. Shall I ask Peter to send you back?”
Scarlett furrowed her brows as she turned around and stole a glance at the surgical theatre which was
shut. There was a worried expression on her face, “Let’s wait a little longer.”
Shirley sneaked a look at Scarlett’s face.
Her eyes were lined with huge eye bags, and her lips were chapped and faded. She didn’t have a
healthy contour on her face, which showed that she hadn’t rest well and had been processing a lot in
her mind.
With her lips pursed, she replaced the documents back into her bag as she suggested, “I will stay here
tonight. You should go back and rest, Madame Moore.”
Scarlett turned around and stared at her, looking obviously moved by her single sentence.
She had never met any doctor who was as thoughtful and caring as Shirley. Shirley’s plan to cure him
was able to make her see Shirley in a new light, and the doctor was even suggesting of her own
volition to watch the night.
In fact, she didn’t need to do that. There were many people the Moore family could dispatch to look
after Bryan, but for some reason Scarlett felt that Shirley was even more reliable than Sabina.
Scarlett looked at her nanny, “Then…”
The nanny nodded and continued for her, “Then, I’ll have to trouble you, Dr. Thomas. We have caused
a lot of difficulty tonight. If the young master creates even more troubles, just give Scarlett a call. The
young master can never take in the words of others, but he is still respectful enough to listen to the
madam.”
“Alright.”
“Then I’ll leave it to you.” Scarlett walked over and grabbed Shirley’s hand.
She just instinctively did this, yet it made Shirley feel strangely moved and touched.
Shirley patted the back of Scarlett’s hand and said, “Go back and have some rest.”
Scarlett nodded and with the help of her nanny, she stepped into the elevator.
The doors of the elevator shut themselves, and Scarlett said, “Jasmine, call Jordan later and ask him to
come here and take a look.”
“Madame Moore, are you sceptical of Dr. Thomas’ ability?”
“No, I trust in that child. I am just afraid of the possibility that Bryan would find trouble with that child. If
he sees that plan, what do you think Bryan would do?”
“Throw a tantrum, reject, throw stuffs around and using violence on people.” The nanny felt terrified at
the prospect, “The young master wouldn’t harm a woman, would he?”
Scarlett was holding her walking stick and her lead finger was gently stroking the surface of the head of NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
her stick. There was an evil smile on her face, “What do you think of Dr. Thomas?”
Jasmine saw the look on Scarlett’s face and she immediately understood the underlying meaning.
In the past few years, the Moore family had introduced countless women from affluent background, yet
those young ladies would be considered proper and great if they could spend an hour with the young
master of the Moore family.
Almost every single one of them had been shunned away by the young master.
In the end, Scarlett had to gather some women from poverty-stricken families without any worldly
influences and brought them to Bryan.
However, with just a single glare, Bryan was able to intimidate them into submission.
Now that he was twenty-eight, all of his subordinates and psychologists were men.
The only woman standing by his side was none other than Shirley.
However, Shirley could only get close to him when he was in a resting state. He would be almost
impossible to be approached normally, especially women!
“I can see that Dr. Thomas has been very thoughtful when it comes to the young master, and besides,
it is the young master who has gone looking for Dr. Thomas today. By the time Dr. Thomas brought him
to the hospital, they would have spent an hour or two together. Also, don’t forget the six hours they had
spent together in the morning.” Jasmine counted with her fingers and then she said delightedly,
“Madame Moore, this Dr. Thomas is the only woman who can spend so much time alone with the
young master.”
The doors of the elevator opened, and Scarlett emerged from it with a smile on her face, “I never
thought that the world-famous Paisley is a woman.”
When she reached this point, she turned around and said with admiration, “She is a beauty in her own
right too. She is a hundred times prettier than Sabina.”
“You’re right.”
When they finally shrunk in the distance, a dark figure suddenly emerged from a corner.
Sabina was boring a hole in Scarlett’s back, and her fists were clenched hard as a rage was burning in
her heart.
This damned old hag, Sabina felt like she would never be in this old hag’s favour no matter how hard
she tried. It turned out that she had her eyes on Paisley.
As she watched Scarlett getting into her car, Sabina took out her phone and made a call.
“Kevin, I need to do in-vitro fertilisation…”
…
The next day.
When it was just daybreak, there was a commotion in the ward, which awoken Shirley who had fallen
asleep.
She raised her head and checked what was going on behind her.
Bryan was now standing by the bed, and he had removed his surgical gown and was now dressed
immaculately in black suit. He looked very formal.
Jordan was tagging along by his side, seemingly whispering something by his ears.
Shirley furrowed her brows and stood up, and that was when she realized that there was a coat draped
over her body!
She was startled a little as she took the coat and studied it. She then shifted her gaze towards Bryan
who was also facing her at the moment.
Bryan was dressed in his usual dark overalls. His upper body was clad in a black shirt and his lower
body was donning a black pants. He had black leather shoes too, which brought out an evil aura and
also a sense of maturity at the same time.
If it were not for his face which never changed, she would have thought that this man right here was a
different one compared to the one she saw last night.
He simply shot a glance at her before turning around and heading towards the door of the ward.
Shirley was able to discern his actions at once. Was he going to the company now?
“Wait!” Shirley hastily made her way towards him with his coat in her arms. She stopped in front of him,
“You can’t discharge yet.”
“Give way.”
“You have two broken left ribs, and your left hand has been stitched six times. Moreover, you need to
adjust your mentality right now and have yourself a leave of absence. You need to follow my
medication plan.”
