Sweet Twins novel Chapter 61

"Yes, one for you and one for Miss He. Mr. Fu said that you could take hers to her," Hiram replied casually.

There was an awkward silence. 'I don't even know where she lives,' thought Jay to himself, sadly.

The problem was, it was his fault he didn't know where Doris lived. He had driven her away and was too proud to seek her out.

"What's wrong? Would it be inconvenient for you to drop it off, sir? If so, I'll take it back to Mr. Fu and explain that." Jay didn't reply and the awkward silence stretched out between them again, longer this time.

"Ahem." Jay cleared his throat, hoping to nudge a reply out. Then he finally answered, "No, it's fine. I will get it to her."

"That's good. And Mr. Fang, Mr. Fu said please don't be late."

The day passed in a blur and it was suddenly the next morning and time for Jay to search Doris out.

Jay put extra thought into his outfit, perhaps nervous to look nice for her, perhaps just trying to buy time. Before long, he found himself at the Affiliated Hospital of the Medical University.

He might not know where Doris lived, but he did know where she worked.

Fortunately, Doris was in the outpatient service that day, which made it easier for him to approach her alone.

Doris was not expecting Jay and was caught completely off guard as she called his name off her appointment list.

"Number 78, Jay Fa..." Doris' voice trailed off in obvious shock.

What was he doing here? At her work? Was he ill or just there to see her? Maybe it was just someone with the same name. It wasn't impossible. Maybe even more likely than Jay swallowing his pride to seek her out after how they left things.

Her mind continued to conjure up possibilities until Jay entered with his hands into his pockets.

"What are you doing here?" This time Doris spoke her question out loud, her eyes coldly assessing Jay for injury.

Jay leaned over and looked into Doris' eyes and said, "Doris, you promised me you would take care of me until I was fully recovered. It still hurts. So tell me, who should I go to if I don't go to you?"

"You..." Doris mumbled to herself, trying to think up a reply. This was not what she had expected. But it wasn't an apology either. Doris collected herself and snorted, "You were quite well when you threw me out of your house, weren't you?" She got angrier as she continued, "Oh, I see. You threw me out so you could go enjoy the company of other girls, and now your little soldier is too strained, is it?" She crossed her arms over her chest. "Well, it sounds like you got what you wanted, but now you'll get what you deserve, because I won't come back just because you snap your fingers when you're tired of the game."

"Doris! That is not what that was!" It was unbelievable how well she knew how to get under his skin. Jay gritted his teeth to stop from making the situation worse. She knew he would want to correct her. He would never get tired of flirting with pretty woman. That wasn't why he was here though.

Doris was a tease herself and it was one of the things he liked about her: that they had that in common. Right now though, it was clear they also had a quick temper in common and he fought to keep his in check.

Jay smiled through his anger. "Okay, Doctor..." he sarcastically addressed her. "Even if I am just tired," he said this part with ire, "you should still check it out, right? just to be safe?"

Doris smiled sweetly for a second, pretending to let him win. However, it became clear that she was, in fact, not caving to his demands, as she trilled, "Doctor Zhang, can you please examine this patient for me? I think it would be more appropriate for a male doctor." Doris' smile gave way to a smirk.

"Of course, on my way," an approaching voice replied. A young man appeared. It was clear he was a new graduate and was eager to please.

"No! Get out. I don't want you as my doctor," growled Jay.

The doctor was startled. How did Jay already object to him? He hadn't met him before or spoken to him yet. Was this a trick? He nervously looked to Doris for direction as she had called him over.

Doris just nodded in a dismissive way and the young doctor took this as his cue to leave. She turned to Jay and said with a sigh, "What do you want from me, Jay?" Doris was still hiding behind her desk and began to fiddle with the computer mouse so harshly that it broke. She didn't even notice as she continued,

"I'm working, Jay. Now, stop with your nonsense! Tell me what is you want."
