Chapter 5 Even if you beat me to death, I won't recognize her!


As expected, the approach was very direct.

"Do I really need to take off my clothes for the exam?" Alaric stood still, showing no intention of undressing.

"It's not necessary, but it would make the examination easier. Since you prefer not to, we'll skip it."

Galatea reluctantly advanced with the stethoscope in hand, murmuring, "I'm going to reach in now."

As Galatea pressed the stethoscope against his chest through his shirt, Alaric suddenly seized her wrist with a force that made her wince in pain. "What do you think you're doing?" Galatea glared at him, her eyes filled with anger.

"The question is, what are 'YOU' doing?" he retorted, annoyed by her act of feigned innocence. Brainwashing his son and yet playing the victim here?

Galatea was speechless. She'd met many patients, but Alaric was one of a kind in terms of difficulty.

Disgusted, Galatea set the stethoscope aside, her eyes cooling, "What are you implying? I've just returned to the States; how have I possibly offended you?"

The man was a CEO. Was he also playing the role of a concerned citizen now? She did not believe that it wasn't personal.
