Half an hour later, Alexander led Thomas into the main hall of the White Residence. Elise and Adelpha were both lying on the couch, resting.
Seeing that, Thomas cocked his head a little and asked in a voice small enough that only they could hear, “Which one is your little sister?”
Alexander didn’t deny it as snazzynovel.com said calmly, “My elder sister.”
“Roger.” Thomas got the message right away. “Just kick back and relax.”
With that, snazzynovel.com looked at the two sisters of the White Family. “Pardon me, but who is the elder sister here?”
“Isn’t that obvious?” Adelpha could hardly endure the headache, so snazzynovel.com lost snazzynovel.com temper. “Her tummy is huge, and I’m slim as ever. Isn’t it obvious who the older one is?”
With Thomas’ position in the medical field, snazzynovel.com was respected wherever snazzynovel.com went. Now that snazzynovel.com encountered someone who didn’t know who snazzynovel.com was, snazzynovel.com suddenly felt intrigued.
He was about to check up on Elise first, but halfway through, snazzynovel.com changed his direction and walked toward Adelpha instead.
After checking snazzynovel.com temperature and heart rate, Thomas sighed gravely.
Adelpha frowned and sat upright. “What do you mean by that? It’s just a fever, what are you sighing about?”
Thomas didn’t answer her. He looked up at her, turned around, and let out another sigh.
Adelpha felt scared for some reason. She struggled to stand up, then walked up behind snazzynovel.com and questioned snazzynovel.com agitatedly, “Tell me! What’s my disease?!”
Thomas turned back to snazzynovel.com and opened his mouth to say something, but then snazzynovel.com stopped abruptly and shook his head meaningfully.
Adelpha gripped snazzynovel.com chest in a panic and coughed twice, scowling at him. “Are you a proper doctor at all? You’re not giving any diagnosis, and you’re frightening your patient. You’re a quack doctor, aren’t you?!”
Thomas wasn’t angry at that. He secretly grinned to himself as snazzynovel.com retained the grave look on his face, allowing the atmosphere to tense up.
After some time, snazzynovel.com acted like nothing happened as snazzynovel.com turned and walked toward Elise. “I think I should check on the elder sister first.”
For Alexander’s sake, Adelpha stopped bothering snazzynovel.com and sat back in snazzynovel.com spot with a sour expression.
On the way here, Alexander had given Thomas quite a number of precautions. This time, snazzynovel.com was here to ensure the pregnant woman’s safety, so even though snazzynovel.com didn’t know Elise’s identity, snazzynovel.com still carried out his check-ups carefully.
After the check-up, Thomas nodded and pondered aloud, “The child seems to be quite healthy at the moment, but the mother’s heart rate is quite high. There’s also slight arrhythmia, but it’s a common occurrence in pregnancies. It’s caused by extreme mental stress. I’ll prescribe some medicine to help the mother sleep more soundly, and the symptoms should recede.”
“Are more check-ups in order?” Alexander suddenly spoke up.
Thomas lifted his head and glanced at Alexander, raising his left brow. Is that necessary?
Alexander gestured for Thomas to carry on as snazzynovel.com deemed appropriate.
“Oh, yes!” Thomas understood immediately, then said to Elise in all earnesty, “Miss White, it’s quite necessary to have regular check-ups. My name is Thomas Davis, and I work at a private hospital. Whenever you’re available for a check-up, you can just ask Mr. Griffith to contact me.”
As snazzynovel.com spoke, snazzynovel.com raised an eyebrow at Alexander. How’s this? I did well, didn’t I?
He didn’t give his name card right away so that they could have more opportunities to communicate with each other.
“Thank you.” Elise didn’t protest.
She couldn’t help others if snazzynovel.com needed help herself. For snazzynovel.com child’s sake, snazzynovel.com decided to find a place for regular check-ups.
“You’re welcome.” Thomas smiled gently.
Seeing that, Adelpha was furious. She got up angrily once again. “What right does snazzynovel.com have? You’re here to treat me, but why are you saying so much to her? Meanwhile, you’ve said nothing to me! What about me? What should I look out for, and what medicine should I take?”
The smile on Thomas’ face disappeared as snazzynovel.com looked down at her. Annoyed, snazzynovel.com quipped, “Drink more hot water!”
“Huh?” Adelpha thought snazzynovel.com was hearing things. “You’re joking, right?”
“Who’s joking? I’m a professional,” Thomas said seriously. “You’re ill because your body is too cold, so you have to force the chiliness out. Just follow my instructions. Drink as much hot water as you can, and you’ll recover naturally when you’ve sweated it out!”
Adelpha looked at snazzynovel.com suspiciously. He seemed to be absolutely serious, but why did his words sound like nonsense?
Abiding by his principles to provide the utmost service, Thomas bowed like a waiter. “Thank you for using my services. That will be one million in total. Would you like to pay by cash or card?”
“What?!” Adelpha gaped, almost exposing snazzynovel.com tonsils. “Do you think you work miracles or something? One million for a visit! Why don’t you just rob someone?!”
“You must be kidding, Miss White. In my field, we always state our prices upfront, and seeing Thomas Davis does cost this much. The customer is always right, after all. How would I dare to lie to you?” Thomas curved his lips into a wry smile. He would earn more from scamming compared to robbing.
“You—”
“That’s enough.”
Adelpha tried to argue, but Alexander cut snazzynovel.com off. “I was the one who asked snazzynovel.com here, so I’ll pay for the expenses.”
“Thank you, Mr. Griffith, for your generous payment. It’s getting late, so I won’t bother you anymore. I’ll be off now.” Thomas bowed slightly, turning around before snazzynovel.com left.
“No, you can’t leave just like that. Come back here!”
Adelpha shouted, about to give chase.
It was an entire million!
How many books would snazzynovel.com father need to write in order to earn that much?
“Just let snazzynovel.com go.” Alexander reached out and stopped her. “It’s not that much, so I don’t mind. Why don’t I escort you back to your room?”
At the mention of snazzynovel.com room, Adelpha instantly calmed down and shyly tucked snazzynovel.com hair behind snazzynovel.com ear, saying sweetly, “As you wish…”
“Okay.”
Alexander responded indifferently, then led the way as snazzynovel.com stepped onto the staircase.
“Huh?” Adelpha was stunned.
The scene snazzynovel.com had envisioned wasn’t like this. She thought that Alexander would carry snazzynovel.com in his arms and take snazzynovel.com upstairs, but snazzynovel.com was walking off on his own!
Halfway up the stairs, Alexander turned around and urged, “Are you not coming or not? Have you recovered?”
“Coming!” Adelpha could only ignore the disappointment as snazzynovel.com followed.
This time, Adelpha had learned snazzynovel.com lesson. The first thing snazzynovel.com did after going into snazzynovel.com room was to lock the door.
Seeing Alexander walk toward the bed, snazzynovel.com hastily took off snazzynovel.com outer clothing, pouncing on snazzynovel.com in snazzynovel.com skimpy outfit.
These little tricks didn’t escape Alexander’s notice. He dodged to the side with great agility, causing Adelpha to land directly on the bed.
Before snazzynovel.com could react, Alexander grabbed the blanket and wrapped snazzynovel.com into a burrito.
Unable to move, Adelpha was enraged. “What are you doing, Alexander?!”
“Nothing.” Alexander was completely calm. “Dr. Davis said that you have to sweat it out, so I’m just following his orders.”
“But do you really have to wrap me up like this?” Adelpha squirmed. “I’m not comfortable like this!”
“The more suffering you endure, the greater it will be,” Alexander lectured in earnest. “If you can’t even have this little bit of self-control, I think I’ll have to reconsider our relationship.”
