Chapter 539

“Okay, you jogged my memory. Natalie did in fact send me a message, but I was in the middle of surgery at the time… I do apologize,” Frank apologized right away. He rubbed between his eyebrows and said, “Come inside. I’m going to see how you are right now. How are you feeling…”

Elizabeth cut him off before he could complete his sentence, “Forget it. Dr. Watson, you sound like you’re ready to drop. Take a break and relax. I’ll see you next time.”

Elizabeth feared that Frank would tell her something she wouldn’t like to hear.

She had to summon a lot of guts to get herself here. Frank didn’t have the time for her, so everything was probably just meant to be.

Elizabeth immediately left.

“Hey…” Frank ran out of his office. He was just about to catch up to Elizabeth when he ran into Wade again. Wade’s toolbox was in his hand, but Frank knocked it off and everything inside was suddenly everywhere!

“Why have you come back, Wade?” By this point, Frank had no option but to go down on his knees and assist Wade with the tools.

“You owe me money. That’s why I’m here.” Wade, noticing that Frank’s gaze had wandered, looked at him with a grin and remarked, “So you denied that she was your girlfriend, right? Then I guess you can’t keep gazing at her like that, Dr. Watson. What a lovely young woman she is!”

With that, Frank pulled a hundred-dollar bill from his wallet and remarked, “The answer is still no, and she is not. Keep the change. If the door is damaged again, I’ll be sure to contact you again.”

He got to his feet and set off after Elizabeth.
