Chen Zhao wasn't sure either . He was pretty strong, but could he really beat this giant, stocky woman?
Morgery was huge but Gaia pinned him to the car, immobilizing him .
Gaia hooked her fingers at Chen Zhao . “Come . ”
“Chen, you're not her match . Leave . ”
“Morgery, don't underestimate me!” Chen Zhao had already charged and punched toward Gaia .
The woman dodged his fist easily . She raised her leg and kicked Chen Zhao precisely in the stomach . Immense pain seized him and Chen Zhao was kneeling on the ground .
He'd really overestimated himself . He may have drunk the strengthening potion, but he was nothing more than a strong doctor . He'd thought that he was awesome, but then Gaia showed him back to his place .
He heard wind in his ears .
Gaia's leg was sweeping toward his face . Chen Zhao hurriedly raised his arms to protect his head .
Boom—
The heavy sweep made Chen Zhao's ears ring . His head felt heavy too .
Morgery yelled and broke free from his restraint to grab Gaia from behind . “Chen, go!”
Go? He'd been embarra.s.sed by this woman so badly . Chen Zhao was going to be a despicable man today!
He shot up and yelled, “Grab on tight!”
With that, he raised his leg to kick Gaia, but the woman reacted quickly . With an over-the-shoulder throw, she blocked herself with Morgery .
“Ah…”
Chen Zhao's kick wasn't weak . Morgery couldn't even stand up after that .
“Chen, I told you to run,” Morgery cursed . “Are you stupid?”
Chen Zhao finally realized that he couldn't beat this woman . Gaia strode forward, forcing Chen Zhao to put up a boxing pose . But then his vision blurred and another punch landed on his face .
He shook his head . Before he could recover, he was. .h.i.t again .
“If you keep hitting me, I'll show you! Ah…”
Another punch .
Crack!
There was a sudden gunshot .
The boss held a gun in the distance . The muzzle was pointed at Gaia .
“Gaia, I don't want to deal with you, due to our past . Don't let me see you again . ”
Gaia stared at him coldly and turned away . Chen Zhao didn't know what business they had with each other, but there seemed to be a story . It wasn't the time to worry about it though . Chen Zhao wasn't in the mood .
His entire body was in pain, especially his face .
Looking at Gaia who'd walked into the distance, Chen Zhao went to help Morgery up .
“Morgery, you okay?”
“I think you broke my back . ”
Chen Zhao touched his back . “No, it's just dislocated . I'll help you put it back . ”
The boss, Nesta, and Sanders walked over . “You two alright?”
“Yes . ” Morgery's cold expression was back as he shook his head .
“Sanders, drive your bike and take Chen away,” the boss said .
They clearly didn't want to talk about this . Chen Zhao didn't want to ask either .
Only Chen Zhao could fit on Sanders' bike, but Beelzebub and Carrie could squeeze in the front . After a b.u.mpy ride, Sanders brought Chen Zhao to the train station .
“Chen, is your face okay?” Sanders stared at the bruised Chen Zhao . Due to his ident.i.ty, he didn't take off his helmet .
“I'm fine . ”
“You're really strong . The last time I was beaten up by that woman, I couldn't walk for three days . ”
“I'll just take it as a compliment . ” Chen Zhao stuffed his helmet into Sanders' arms . “I'm leaving . You should go back too . ”
After getting beaten up for no reason, Chen Zhao was extremely p.i.s.sed . He applied ointment onto his face, but the bruising didn't fade .
He bought a train ticket—
On the train, Chen Zhao sat across from a s.e.xy girl who looked to be around 20 years old . She wore a black jacket with a white tank top . With her long brown hair and light lipstick, she looked fas.h.i.+onable and s.e.xy .
Chen Zhao covered his face . His current appearance was going to affect his flirting success rate .
“You get beaten up?” the s.e.xy girl asked .
“I fell,” Chen Zhao lied through his teeth .
“I have some ointment and bandages . Do you need them?”
“No, I already applied some . ” Chen Zhao looked at her . “A regular girl won't bring ointment around, would they?”
“I'm a medical intern . ”
“I'm Chen Zhao . Can I know your name?”
“Eveleigh Model . ” She reached out and touched the bruise on Chen Zhao's face . “It must hurt . ”
Chen Zhao grasped Eveleigh's gentle hand and took it down . Her hand was delicate and soft, but Chen Zhao didn't like having unfamiliar men and women touching him—especially his face .
“I'm a doctor too . I don't need someone else diagnosing me . ”
“Whoever hit you did it hard,” Eveleigh said .
“I told you . I fell,” Chen Zhao repeated .
“Okay, so you fell . ” She clearly didn't believe him .
Chen Zhao was embarra.s.sed . His injuries couldn't fool a fellow doctor, even if she was only an intern…
“Do you live in L . A?” Chen Zhao could only change the topic .
“No, but my college is in L . A . My hospital is there too . ” Eveleigh glanced at him . “Which hospital do you work at? Or a private clinic?”
Chen Zhao chuckled but didn't reply .
“You're an illegal doctor?” Eveleigh suddenly realized something .
Chen Zhao looked at himself . “Is it obvious?”
“You brought you medical kit, so you must've gone to treat someone . If you're from a private clinic, you won't go to another city, unless it's a special patient . Plus, you have injuries on your face . I can't imagine what kind of patient would beat up a legitimate doctor . ”
“By the way, I fell… And I could've gotten beaten up by a gangster . It doesn't have to be my patient . ”
“It doesn't matter . I'm right, aren't I?”
Chen Zhao pursed his lips . “I guess . ”
“Why don't you go get a license?”
“I can't,” Chen Zhao answered honestly .
He was a foreigner . If he wanted to get a license, he couldn't do anything else . It would take at least half a year to familiarize himself with American laws and medical practices . He'd also have to read a lot of medical books .
Plus, with his history in China, he might not even get a license after half a year of hard work .
When he'd first came to America, he indeed thought about testing for a license . However, after he got his current job and started accepting and becoming familiar with it, he realized that he no longer wanted a license .
“A doctor without a license can only kill their patients . ”
“I haven't killed any of my patients yet . ”
“That's only for now . ”
