As someone who knew how to restrain himself, Stanley stopped pestering her when he noticed that she was really angry. While staring at her, he asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong with you on the phone? Why were you so emotional? Do you need help?"

As Ariah's face flushed red, she stared blankly at him, recalling how she had lost control when talking to him on the phone. Was that why he suddenly came over?

"I called on the way to inquire about those cases you mentioned and found that the areas where those murder cases happened were out of my jurisdiction." Stepping forward, he stared at her and whispered, "Three or four cases like this have happened in a month, and this has already attracted the attention of the bureau. Therefore, the Special Case Team for the construction will take over the cases. I believe it won't be long before the problem can be solved."

Speaking of this, he paused before he raised his hand and gently pushed her hair to the back of her ear. With a grin, he said, "There will be no more young girls who will be hurt. Don't worry, I promise the patient under your care will definitely be the

last victim."

Since he was, Ariah had to raise her head to look at him. While listening to the heavy sounds coming from his chest, she stared straight at him, "Really?"

"Of course," Jimmy said with a nod.

Turning her head away, she lowered her eyes and gently said, "Okay, I believe you."

Just then, her chin was pinched and lifted up by him. Fixing his gaze on her, he asked, "What's your relationship with that stupid doctor?"

That rendered her speechless.

Before she got off work, she changed her clothes in the office, which was when Dr. Davidsons knocked on the door.

With a frown, she inquired, "What's up?"

"Ariah, I-I know it's my fault, but I really love you."

Seeing her alert looks, Dr. Davidsons hurriedly explained, "I was too impulsive to hug you suddenly because I have always liked you. From the day you came here, I have developed some feelings for you. I know that your relationship with your husband is over... Ariah, I love you. I want to be with you, and this is..."

"A booty call?" Ariah interrupted him coldly. "Is that what you want to say?"

Just as he was about to deny it, she crossed her arms and looked sideways at him. "You have your own family, and your wife seems to be pregnant now. Why did you suddenly try to please me? Don't tell me that you really love me? I think you just want to sleep with me?"

The words startled him, and his face froze.

"Do you think that I will not reject you since I have divorced my husband? You think you are excellent, and everyone would be willing to be your friends. Am I right?" Ariah's words easily pierced through the contemptible thoughts in his mind. "However, even if no man wants me, I would never find a man like you. Dr. Davidsons, if you don't want to blow this matter up, then please control yourself. I'll just pretend that today's incident has never happened. If you continue to pester me, then I won't care about your feelings anymore. I can report this to the hospital, which will cause you to be fired."

Obviously, Dr. Davidsons did not expect her to be this direct, so he pointed at her nose and struggled to articulate his thoughts, "Y-You..."

"Aren't you afraid that this will have a bad impact on you as a woman?" Dr. Davidsons glanced at her coldly and threatened her with reputation, which he thought would be useful.

In response, she laughed and said, "Reputation?

Dr. Davidsons, you're really funny. You say you love me, but you don't even understand my character. Am I that kind of woman who could be threatened with reputation? If you don't believe me, then just wait and see who's the one who will be impacted!"

Many women were taken advantage of by these men because they cared about their reputations.

Pointing at her with his trembling finger, he could not utter a single word.

Rolling her eyes at him, she ignored him and walked away. When she reached the door, she suddenly thought of something and turned around with a smile, "By the way, my husband has a remark for you, which I think is very suitable."

Dumbfounded, he asked, "What is it?"

"You are an imbecile!"

Words eluded him when he heard that.

Without looking at Dr. Davidsons' ashen face, Ariah turned and left triumphantly.

At the same time, something happened in another part of the hospital.

For the tenth time, Sharon raised her head to look at Stanley who sat on the sofa in the corner. There was a heater in the ward, so the room was still warm despite the cold weather outside.

Her gaze was fixated on Stanley whose grey shirt was covered with a soft wool vest. Holding the pen with his slender fingers, he lowered his head to process the documents. It delighted her to listen to the rustling sounds made by the tip of the pen on the paper in this quiet ward.

He didn't even look up when he asked in a low voice, "If you are really bored, then you can sleep first. Don't keep staring at me."

That startled her.

With her eyes widened, she asked, "You didn't even lift your head. How did you know that I'm looking at you?"

Did he have eyes on his head?

After processing the last document, Stanley put down the pen in his hand and raised his head. "Your gaze was so intent that I could not ignore it."

Sharon was speechless.

"Why are you staring at me? Do you have something to tell me?"

"Yes..."

"What is it?"

Sharon licked her thin lips, for she did not know how to articulate what had been formed in her mind. Words eluded her when she met his gaze, so she just changed the subject, "Um... Is New Year coming soon?"

Stanley nodded his head. "There's only less than a month left. New Year is indeed around the corner. Why did you ask about this?" "Just asking."

"You've been staring at me for so long, and that is just what you want to ask?"

Apparently, he didn't believe her excuse, so she hesitated for a moment before finally asking, "I want to ask you about Shawn."

As expected, his expression darkened as soon as she uttered that. Her heart skipped a beat when it became clear that Stanley didn't like her to mention Shawn.

When she mentioned the name this morning, Stanley had tried to change the topic. She thought that it was her own illusion, which was definitely not true.

Stanley's expression was telling her that he was averse to questions about Shawn.

Sitting on the bed, she stared blankly at him and uttered, "Come here please."

When he raised his eyebrows, he moved the document away from his knees and walked toward her. "Mmm, what's the matter?"

Standing by the bed, Sharon raised her head and looked at him. "You don't like to hear me mention 'Shawn'. Am I right?"
