Chapter 2007

Rodney did not have the audacity to claim that Eliza was Chester’s girlfriend. He knew that Chester
had always played around with women.

Eliza flatly denied it. “No. I’m just curious about what kind of a woman you prioritize over your wife and
child that you chose to abandon your family. ”

Rodney was aware of her relationship with Freya. At that moment, many thoughts flashed across his
mind. He quickly said, “Did Freya ask you to come and look for me? You’ve misunderstood me. I didn’t
abandon my family. She has always misunderstood me and insists on divorcing me this time. She even
beat Sarah up so badly. If she hadn’t done that, I wouldn’t have to come here every day.”

After making that remark, Eliza did not feel like talking to him anymore.

She could understand why Freya wanted to divorce him without giving him a chance. The reason was
that they were not on the same wavelength.

Besides, Rodney had been caring for another woman every day without thinking about his married
status, which upset his wife.

Sarah said weakly, “Miss Robbins, are you Freya’s friend? Please talk her out of divorcing Rodney. I’ll
be going overseas next week.”

“Next week?” Eliza asked, “Which country are you going to?”

“Country B.” Sarah sighed. “ I probably won’t be coming back anymore.”

“Country B has quite lovely sights. I heard it’s difficult for many rich people to emigrate there. ” Eliza
gave a vague smile. “Mr. Snow must have spent a lot of money on your emigration.”



Sarah’s face slightly paled. Upon sensing Eliza’s sarcasm, Rodney said with a frown, “Chester, why did
you bring her here?”

Without answering him, Chester took out a cigarette and lit it. Then, he took a drag of it.

Rodney reminded, “Chester, this is a hospital. Smoking is prohibited. As a doctor, don’t you know that?”

“ I know, that’s why I’ve been holding in my urge outside just now. I can finally do it here,” Chester
responded lazily as Eliza’s eyes swept over his triggering expression.

On the other hand, Sarah bit her lip when her eyes rested on Chester. “Chester, we grew up together
since young. I really hope we can be like how we used to be. Even if that’s not possible, I still hope that
you’ll be on good terms with Rodney.”



“ Sarah, when you fled the last time, you shouldn’t have come back.” Chester slowly exhaled some
smoke. “Because of your return, all our friendships have soured.”

Sarah’s eyes reddened, and Rodney could not tolerate the situation anymore. “As she said, she’ll be
leaving next week. Considering that we’re friends, why do you have to shift the blame to her? She’s in
agony too.”

Chester snorted while staying quiet. Eliza then asked, “When will Miss Neeson be discharged? It
seems like her injuries aren’t that severe.”

“How are they not severe?” Rodney said furiously, “ Her hands will be scarred, and the scars won’t fade
until a few years later. They hurt so much that she can’t sleep at night. She has to frequently receive IV
infusions in the hospital.”



“I’ve never experienced any burns, so I’m not sure.” Eliza shrugged. “I’m going to the restroom. ”

With that, she turned around and entered the restroom. Only after she locked the door did she take out
a tube of salve. She squeezed some of it to put into the tub of toothpaste. After that, she pretended to
flush the toilet before coming out.

“Let’s go.” Chester finished smoking a cigarette. He did not feel like staying here anymore mainly
because he was sick of Sarah’s face. She was so skillful at acting that Rodney did not even know he
was being fooled by her.

“Miss Neeson, I actually came over as I was curious about your appearance and how you managed to
snatch my best friend’s man. I’ve finally seen you now, and it turns out that you’re just average.” After
humiliating Sarah, Eliza left with Chester regardless of Sarah’s grim expression.

However, as soon as she walked to the door, she bumped into Cindy, who was walking toward the
ward in a cashmere coat. From her haggard look, it seemed that Cindy had not been living well
recently. The moment she saw Chester, her eyes lit up. Nevertheless, her body stiffened awkwardly the
minute she caught a glimpse of Eliza beside him.

As she had learned her lesson earlier, she stared at Chester’s handsome face with reddened eyes. “
Chester, when will you be free to return home for a meal? Your mom said that you’ve been very busy
lately.” With a discreet smile, Chester said abrasively, “ You’re so skillful at speaking. We haven’t
contacted each other for such a long time. Don’t make it seem like there’s something going on between
us.”
