“What’s up? Why don’t you send her to the hospital since it’s serious?” Godwin drove quickly and rushed there as soon as Elvis called him. When he stepped into the room with a medicine cabinet, he saw a red–eyed woman lying on the bed.

He was stunned, and then he instantly knew who the woman was.

“Nola has a high fever. I just took her temperature. 102.2 degrees. Come and see what’s going on!”

Nola didn’t expect him to call a doctor here for her.

“Elvis, she is…” Godwin instantly understood it, and then he walked to Nola with a beam on his face. He introduced himself, “Hello! I’m Godwin Burke, Elvis‘ buddy.”

Nola looked him up and down. She found that Godwin looked lively and polite with two dimples on his handsome face when smiling. He was like a breath of fresh air.

“Hello, I’m Nola Grant.”

“I heard that Elvis got the marriage license with a girl secretly, and we don’t believe it! He hides you here and doesn’t take you to see us. What’s wrong with your eyes, Nola? They’re red. Does he treat you badly?”

Elvis coughed and his face turned cold, “I ask you here for something not to gossip about me. Don’t piss me off!”

Godwin raised his hands to surrender, “Ok, I’ll do it now.”

Godwin sighed. He was a well–known surgeon overseas but he drove here just for a cold. Most importantly, he wasn’t paid any. Why couldn’t he earn some interest by gossip?

Elvis was too mean!

But Elvis cared so much about the woman. It seemed that he and Spencer were right. Elvis fell in love with her.

After a careful examination, Godwin cleaned up the wound on Nola’s hand. He then said, “Elvis, I don’t mean to blame you, but you should have been tender to Nola since she was weak. How did you hurt her so badly? Why didn’t you clean up the wound for her? It will be troublesome if it’s inflamed.”

There was a disapproving look on Elvis‘ face, Godwin was complaining.
