Chapter 199

“Your medical skills are really remarkable when you know both traditional

and modern medicine, Dr. Lowe! Even many veteran doctors are not your

match! Why did you decide to be a gynecologist?”

In truth, Claudette had wanted to ask that question a long time ago.

Besides the fact that Emmanuel was tall, dark, and handsome, she found him

different from other men because he emanated a mysterious aura. Like a

storybook, he riveted her interest.

Alas, Emmanuel merely brushed it off without replying to her question.

The reason had something to do with his retirement from the military in

Northern Region, but he did not want to tell anyone about it.

Perceiving that he did not want to answer, Claudette tactfully gave up

pursuing the matter further. Since she already had him look her over and had

no other business there, she could only get to her feet and leave.

When she reached the door, however, she could not help glancing back over

her shoulder. “Are you free this Saturday, Dr. Lowe?”

Frederick was right outside the door, pretending to be busy. In reality, he was

secretly watching Claudette pursue his best friend.

blatant this time! Is she openly asking a married man out?
