Goodbye, Mr. Regret

Chapter 227

"So, Mr. Herbert, are you trying to steal my woman?" Timothy's tone was cold, his gaze sharp and unyielding.

Herbert just smiled, calm and unbothered. “You mean the woman you were just holding? Relax, I'm not interested. You don't have to worry about me making a move on her. In fact, President Lawson, I wish you both a long and happy life together."

Herbert's lips curved in a smirk and he raised his brows, utterly unfazed. "I never imagined President Lawson was so compassionate, worrying about my career with such concern. But I have plenty of confidence in my medical skills. No need for you to trouble yourself. Why not save your big-hearted care for someone else, someone who actually needs it?"
