Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 1445

Lewis spotted her and raised an eyebrow, adjusting his glasses with a casual flick. "Feeling a bit off, are we?"

Kailee shot back with a sardonic laugh.

"Seeing you makes me queasy! Get me a different doctor, for crying out loud!"

There was no way she'd let Lewis know she'd been so full of herself that she fell off her horse and got hurt. Now, something was throbbing painfully, and she was on the brink of tears.

But like it or not, Lewis was the only doctor around.

He shut the exam room door and pulled the curtains closed, making Kailee swallow hard, a wave of unease washing over her.

"Listen, Lewis, I'm not afraid of you. Believe it or not, I could have my brother take care of you and feed you to the sharks! And you're about to lose your job too. The Sanchez family pulls a lot of weight, so just wait for that pink slip from the hospital. Don't come crying to me when it happens."

Her smug facade slipped a little as she realized they were alone.

"You'd better not mess around. Push me, and I'll make sure your family regrets it."

Lewis, now gloved up, shrugged, "Just let it be me who regrets it. No need to drag my family into this."

With his hands covered in white gloves, his expression remained cool and collected.

"So, where's the pain? You did say you were injured, right?"

Kailee squirmed, suddenly hesitant. "I want another doctor." Lewis frowned.

"All the other docs are tied up right now."
