A Successful Career After Divorce

“If he says anything strange to you, just ignore him!” Ranita apologized as she looked at Steve. “I’m sorry for causing you trouble.”

Steve skillfully wrapped her finger with a bandage and applied some ointment on it. The coolness of the ointment immediately reduced the pain.

“Ranita, even though I am friends with him, who I date is my own decision! Don’t think too much about it.”

Ranita felt a bit touched.

“Thank you!” Ranita sincerely expressed her gratitude to those who showed kindness to her. “I’ve caused you trouble. If he gets angry, you can blame it on me…”

Steve adjusted his glasses and smiled at Ranita. “Don’t worry, everything will work out. Let me take you back to the hospital for an examination.”

Steve drove her back to the hospital. Being pregnant, Ranita easily felt tired. She nestled in the back seat and, after a while, surprisingly fell asleep, swaying with the motion of the car.

Dazedly, she heard Steve calling out to her, “Ranita! We’re here!”

“Hmm?” Looking at Steve right in front of her made Ranita feel a little confused! Without his glasses on, his beautiful eyes were revealed while his body had a refreshing scent that made her feel comfortable.

Steve was actually quite nice.

Steve arranged for someone to take an X-ray for Ranita. Fortunately, there were no bone injuries, but she still needed a few days of rest. Applying some ointment and taking oral medication to promote blood circulation and remove stasis would be sufficient for her recovery.

“I bought dinner for you so eat first! I’ll go get your medicine!”

In the office, whenever she heard “blood circulation” or “stasis removal”, Ranita’s heart would beat faster than usual as she anxiously grabbed onto Steve’s sleeve, “Dr. Pearson!”

“Hmm?”

“Dr. Pearson… there’s something that I want to ask you not to tell anyone.” With pursed lips and hesitation written all over face, she told him about being pregnant.

Steve hesitated for a moment, but quickly regained his composure. “I’ll have someone change the medication,” he said.

“Dr. Pearson…”

“Don’t worry! I won’t say anything!” Steve turned around and suddenly pressed his palm against her head, gently rubbing it as he advised her to eat.

After all the commotion, it was getting late.

Ranita had to hurry to the Bulgari Hotel, and of course Steve objected, but Ranita insisted on going and Steve had no choice but to drive her there.

“Ranita, you can’t wear high heels on your ankle anymore!” Steve frowned. “I’ll find someone to help…”

“It’s okay! I feel much better now! Dr. Pearson, your ice pack works wonders!”

Steve was helpless as he helped her open the car door and personally assisted her out while whispering softly, “Don’t force yourself. If you feel uncomfortable later, give me a call!”

Ranita chuckled with bent eyes, “Dr. Pearson, you’re such a gentle person.”

Gentle?

Steve raised an eyebrow but didn’t show what he was thinking, “You’re my friend and my patient; naturally I’ll treat you well.”

“Well then I’m off!” Ranita waved at him before heading towards the hotel when she noticed a familiar car parked beside her.

The car door opened, revealing a pair of straight and slender legs stepping out. The neatly tailored suit accentuated the unmistakably tall and well-built figure, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. Combined with that face, which seemed to be favored by the creator, just one glance was enough to make hearts flutter.

“Brendon?” Steve greeted him while Brendon’s attention fell directly onto Ranita as he asked coldly, “Steve, why are you with Ranita?”

“Oh my! Steve, and look who’s here, Ranita! What a coincidence!” Just then, Shannon cheerfully stepped out of the car, linking arms with Brendon, and with a beaming smile, she asked Steve, “Steve, are you and Ranita getting romantically involved?”NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
