True Love Waits

"Sounds good. Why not? You might get an acute renal failure, and then you won't be able to mess around with women anymore," Evelyn mocked.

Sheffield stared at her, his interest piqued. "Oh, I didn't expect you to know about acute renal failures."

"I have a customer with that disease."

"I see. ARF is curable, as long as he receives the right treatment in time. But if it's chronic, there's no radical cure for it according to the current medical situation. Ask your customer to come and see me whenever he's free. I'll see if there's anything I can do. I specialize in nephrology." This wasn't a joke. He did work in the nephrology department.

"Why did you choose to study nephrology? Is it because..." Seizing the chance to taunt him, Evelyn sized him up and asked, "You've had issues with your kidneys?"

Sheffield didn't mind such scorns.

He faked a half-serious look and said casually, "Yes, you're right. I've indulged myself in so much carnal pleasures, my kidneys couldn't take it anymore. I chose to be a renal physician and had both of my kidneys replaced."

He made it seem like he had slept with many women.

Evelyn felt a pang in her heart. "Wow, Dr. Tang, you're amazing. You even operate on yourself. Quite a talent," she said with sarcasm.

Instead of replying to her taunt right away, he turned around to face her. While walking backwards, he asked with a mischievous smile, "Why are you so concerned about my kidneys? Do you want to find out in person if they are working fine?"

Realizing what he meant, Evelyn blushed. She picked up her pace to catch up with him, in an attempt to punch him in the face.

Sheffield knew what she was thinking. He picked up his pace too, always staying one step ahead of her.

Frustrated, Evelyn began to run. It was then that Sheffield turned around to run too.

"Sheffield Tang, you are such a jerk!" No one had dared to flirt with her like this.

Sheffield turned his head to smile at her as he ran. "Hey! You started it!"
