Chapter 442 The Mocking Bird

The doctor froze for a moment. She had no idea Anthony would be this much of a brilliant man. He had an air of cold regality about him, a face even the gods would envy, and even his every move told her that this man was powerful. There were a lot of handsome men in this world, and a lot of successful men too. However, handsome men usually had nothing else going for them. Their career was either in the dumps, or they had no career at all.

On the other hand, successful men were usually old, pudgy men with beer bellies as big as a pregnant woman’s stomach. Men who were handsome, dashing, and successful were one of a kind, and she couldn’t believe her sister would give up on having a relationship with a man like this. Fortunately, I have the watch

A hundred thoughts flew through her head, and she pretended to have just snapped out of her stupor, then she nodded. Tm Veronica McCarthy. Dr. Leicester had a surgery to attend to, so I’ll be attending to

the boy.”

She put on an aloof and professional look. Before Anthony could say anything, she approached Zachary “Come on. One more checkup and you can go home.”

Zachary was feeling reluctant, and he muttered, “But you just did a checkup. I never knew there was a checkup right before discharge.

Veronica smiled and placed a book on the table, then she picked her stethoscope up. “Well, you are the son of Mr. Crawford. The director has told us to keep a close eye on you, so I have to be professional.”

She made it sound like she was just doing this because of the director. And there was an arrogant undertone, like she was saying, ‘I didn’t want to do this, but the director told me to.”

Lilly had no idea about underlying messages, but she didn’t like how Veronica talked. She stared at her for a moment and asked, “Doctor, is something wrong with your hand? Why are you raising it so high? And you even shook it for a bit. Is that part of being professional?” Lilly was confused. She could just check on Zachary, but why’d she raise her hand like she was starting a surgery? Uncle said they only did that because the doctors wanted their hands to remain germ-free after their disinfection, I guess? But we’re not doing any surgery right

note.

Because of what Lilly said, Liam looked at Veronica as well. He hadn’t noticed it at first, but now he thought that movement was redundant.

Veronica was feeling awkward, but she said, “Um, force of habit. I would have to do surgery sometimes.

Lilly shook her head. “But my uncle said doctors would never wear watches or accessories during surgery. If you’re used to doing surgeries, why would you wear a watch?”

Veronica held her hand up so Anthony would notice her watch. She got distracted for a moment when she came in, so she wasn’t sure if he had seen it. Anthony didn’t even look at her after she came in, so she had to show off her watch more, or she would have no avenue to see him once he left the hospital.

She was relieved that Lilly brought up the matter of her watch, and she swung it for a bit. “Sorry. Someone important to me gave me this watch as a gift. It’s a men’s watch, so it’s a bit big for me. I have to adjust it every so often.”

Zachary and Josh were speechless. Um, sounds wrong, but okay?

Lilly, however, saw through her lies. “Doctor, you said that you raise your hands because you’re used to doing surgeries, and now you’re saying it’s because of the watch’s size. So which is it?”
