Chapter 74: Chapter 73: Cat and Mouse

Ding-dong ~

The doorbell rang, interrupting Auntie’s tearful mutterings, and Elliana Lyle snapped back to reality.

"Is it the doctor?" Elliana asked as Hannah Collins was already heading to the door.

"Hannah... Hannah Collins?"

Seeing that the person who opened the door was Hannah Collins, it would be inaccurate to say Claire White was surprised; she was more like at a loss.

Of course, he didn’t recognize her at first glance, but the more he looked, the more she seemed familiar, until he was convinced it was her.

Claire White’s gaze was slightly dazed, and the white coat made him look sanctified and gracious, except for the stunned expression that didn’t match his persona.

Seeing her childhood playmate, Hannah grinned and raised an eyebrow, "What? Can’t the little white mouse recognize me, your big sister?"

Now it was thoroughly confirmed! Claire White’s expression tightened as he clutched his medical kit and bolted, in a panic like a headless white mouse.

"Hey? Why are you running?"

Hannah frowned straight away. Was she that scary? There was a patient in the house; she couldn’t let him run away.

Quickly chasing after him, Claire White couldn’t press the elevator button in time and started running towards the safety exit.

But how could the white mouse outrun the big black cat?

Soon, Elliana saw Hannah dragging Claire White in by the neck, a scene reminiscent of a cat-and-mouse chase, truly an eye-opener.

Usually gentle and elegant, the aloof Doctor White now appeared so disheveled, even his hair was messy, the thin silver-framed glasses askew, continuously pleading with Hannah.

"Sister! Sweet sister! I’m wrong, I’m wrong!"

Seeing this scene, the aunt sitting next to Elliana was also stunned.
