Chapter 1176: Chapter 1176: Standing from a Fatherâs Perspective
âIâm not a professional doctor, Iâm just a medical student, with pitifully little clinical experience. Helping Mr. Li this time was purely a coincidence as I happened to have come across a similar case during international support. I hardly have more experience than the personal doctor you have by your side now,â Susanâs face, full of collagen, showed sheer helplessness.
Li Shengxiaoâs incisive gaze fell on her again, as if trying to see through her. Suddenly, he asked, âYou know I have a personal doctor by my side?â
Susan was startled by the question, her frown twitching fiercely before she calmed down. Her amber eyes met his, âConsidering Mr. Liâs status, isnât it normal for him to have a personal doctor by his side? Is there a need to make special inquiries?â
Without waiting for Li Shengxiao to continue questioning, she said, âAfter I finish up in Rui City, Iâll be leaving and not staying. I toughened up and took on your case because I owed Miss Chu a favor. Now that the favor is repaid, I have no reason to keep forcing myself to do something Iâm not absolutely confident about. I have reasons that compel me to leave Zeka.â
Perhaps afraid that Li Shengxiao would delve deeper, she offered her own reason, âI have someone back home who I donât want to see.â
Her husband.
No, thatâs not right.
More precisely, her ex-husband.
The man who once made her throw caution to the wind to be with him, and ultimately made her flee Zeka in total defeat.
If it hadnât been for the fact that she had struggled to obtain the equipment for her research in Mema, she would never have wanted to set foot again on this land that had once deeply wounded her heart.
Thinking of that person, her heart still ached densely, even though many years had passed and she was no longer the naĂŻve and capricious girl she once was. Yet, after all these years, she still couldnât control her emotions toward that man.
Susan snapped out of her daze, pursed her lips tightly, and firmly stated, âSo, no matter how good the terms Mr. Li offers me, I cannot agree to your request.â
She wasnât particularly beautiful, but she wasnât ordinary either.
Her features were bright and vibrant, her eyelashes naturally curling downwards unlike most people, making her eyes appear partially covered and giving others the impression that she was intensely focused when she spoke. However, upon closer examination, one could see the distraction in her gaze, as if a mist covered her eyes, hiding many stories below.
âIâm very sorry I canât help.â
The manâs forehead was damp with sweat, and his hair, wet from perspiration, stuck to his forehead. He didnât take Susanâs refusal to heart and bluntly presented his final terms, âYou can return to Mema, but I need to know your whereabouts, at least report to me where you are going. Other than that, I wonât interfere with you, I just need to ensure that I can find you when I need to. As for the terms I mentioned, donât rush to reject them. Besides the salary, you can name your price. Li Group owns its medical research institutes in Mema, equipped with the worldâs leading instruments and top medical researchers. You can enter, and I will have someone arrange a position for you.â
âIâŠâ
Li Shengxiaoâs deep eyes were like abysses, capturing her gaze, âMiss Susan, this is the best option for you. Even if you choose to refuse me, I will arrange for someone to follow you and keep track of your whereabouts at all times. If you agree to the terms Iâm offering, we can collaborate pleasantly, and you can freely do what you enjoy. I will not interfere. The patient I want you to see is still young, and within the next decade, if I can find a milder treatment method, then Miss Susan, you wonât need to do any work for what you receive.â
âI hope you will agree to this. I am not only speaking from my personal standpoint but also as a father.â
