Chapter 97 What Are You Doing?
Lynn’s expression darkened immediately. “What? Scarring? Mr. Foreman, can’t you find a way? Dr. Thorne has been through a lot lately. It would be too tragic if she ended up with a scar.”
Dr. Foreman’s expression turned stern. “Now you’re afraid? As a doctor, you should prioritize protecting yourself first and then treating others. Did you forget the first lesson in medical school?”
Lysander gritted her teeth, enduring the sting of the disinfectant. “The patient suffered a stroke. Between scarring and the aftermath of a stroke, I’d rather choose scarring.”
As soon as Dr. Foreman heard this, he understood.
A stroke was even more serious; it could be fatal.
So, he eased up a bit, and Lysander finally felt a little better.
After bandaging her wound, Dr. Foreman admonished her earnestly. “You absolutely cannot move around recklessly, understand?”
Lysander knew Dr. Foreman was looking out for her and obediently replied, “Yes, I understand.”
“Also, be careful when you’re….with your husband. Don’t be too reckless; consider your wound. Cough, cough…”
Lysander was taken aback, licking her lips. “Oh, okay!
Exiting the surgical operating room, Lynn supported her as they slowly made their way back. “Dr. Thorne, why didn’t you mention that you’re already divorced? I can’t believe that Mr. Foreman sti blushed despite his age. Hehehe…”
Lysander gave her a sharp look. “Is divorce something to celebrate? Should I announce it to the wor with drums and trumpets, that I’ve been cheated on?”
Lynn stuck out her tongue. “Well. Hey, Dr. Sutton.”
Lysander raised her head and saw Adrian, clad in a white coat, hurrying over from a distance.
He frowned slightly. “What’s going on?”
Lysander smiled and greeted him. “Dr. Sutton.”
“I’m asking you, what happened?”
Lysander hesitated for a moment and replied, “When I was drawing blood, I received a call from the hospital about a patient in urgent need of care. However, the emergency department was short-staffed, and I happened to be free, so I went with the ambulance.”
“Has the wound been treated?”
She nodded. “Yes, Dr. Foreman took care of it herself

Adrian’s expression improved slightly. “Can you walk”
“I can.”
“No, you can’t.”
Lysander looked at Lynn, warning her with her eyes. I can walk.”
Lynn’s eyes sparkled, eager to try. “Dr. Sutton, Mr. Foreman informed Dr. Thorne to minimize movement. Walking involves movement, which will affect her wound.”
Upon hearing this, Adrian immediately squatted down and effortlessly lifted her up.
Lysander was startled, and instinctively exclaimed, “A-
“Don’t worry, I won’t drop you.”
“I’m not scared.”
“Then what’s wrong?”
Lysander felt a bit uncomfortable. “I’m afraid of rumors spreading.”
Adrian chuckled. “Don’t worry. If rumors spread, I’ll explain. I won’t let you get involved in any
scandals.
“How will you explain?”
“Just say we’re friends?”
Lysander shook her head. “If we’re friends, then let’s keep our distance as friends. Put me down.”
“Lysander, do you want to be friends with me?”
An Tan paused. She looked into his eyes and shook her head.
“Don’t want to?”
Lysander said, “You confessed to me at the karaoke bar last time. Under these circumstances, we can’t be friends anymore.”
“Not even friends?”
Lysander said, “For me, there’s a clear line between friends and lovers. I don’t want to pretend to be friends while secretly being someone’s backup plan.”
She pushed against Adrian. “Dr. Sutton, please put me down.”
Adrian didn’t move.
He even slightly jostled her upward, holding her more securely.
