Filed To Story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love
She saw that her face, which was reflected by the phone screen, was deeply swollen. Even her eyes and lips were deformed.
“Don’t worry. I think it’s an allergic reaction. I’ll get you to the hospital now.”
He acted decisively. He ignored her wish and carried her to rush her to the nearest hospital. He did not even manage to inform Flossie and the others.
When they arrived at the hospital, they went straight to the emergency. When the doctor saw Leia’s look, the doctor was shocked too.
“Oh gosh, why is your face so swollen?”
“Doctor, can I be saved? Am I dying?”
“You won’t die, but it’s too serious…”
When the doctor reached that point, the doctor inevitably glanced at Leia and nearly vomited. After that, the doctor worked hard to present a serious and professional front. “We’ll have to test the allergen first before we decide how to treat it.”
After testing, both Xavier and Leia sat in the corridor to wait for the result.
“Hmm, it’s over. My face is ruined. I look like a pig!”
Leia covered her face and cried piteously. “As expected, my brother’s inauspicious remark turns out to be true. I can’t get married for the rest of my life. No man will want to marry an ugly woman like me. I’m doomed!”
“It’s not that serious. When the result is out, you’ll get better after they prescribe the right medicine for you.”
He then patted her shoulders and said sarcastically, “What’s more, I think it’s pretty good if you look like a pig. How adorable! I like pigs the most.”
“Xavier, that’s enough. My face became like this, but you teased me. I’m going to beat you up!”
Consequently, she was deeply infuriated. Hence, she started hitting him and teaching him a lesson while her face was still red and swollen.
While they were quarreling and fighting, she bumped into a person with her back.
So, she turned around to notice a tall man in a white coat that looked quite refined and handsome. He even carried a gentle aura.
Leia immediately covered her face with her hands, feeling like hiding herself once she’d met the man’s gaze for a few seconds.
“Lei?”
The man in the white coat was unsure, so he addressed her tentatively.
When he noticed her reaction, he immediately affirmed it before he strode forward to catch up with her.
“No, that’s not me. You’re mistaken.”
While running, Leia waved her hands.
She wanted to find a thing to cover her face, but it was to no avail. Helplessly, she pulled Xavier over to block her face, fearing the man in the white coat would see her face.
It was because the man in the white coat was none other than the liar who played with her feelings. He was her first love and boyfriend, William, the top student in medical science.
It was not humiliating to step on sh*t, but it would be the most humiliating ever to bump into one’s ex while stepping on sh*t.
At that moment, given her swollen face, she seemed to be in a sorrier state than stepping on sh*t. She did not want William to see that.
“Lei, stop hiding. I know it’s you.”
William deeply cherished this rare chance to meet Leia, so he sounded extremely agitated.
Xavier stood between them, and he was taller and studier than William. His body appeared like a large mountain before William. William could not bypass Xavier no matter what he did, so he became very anxious.
“Mister, please step aside. I have something to say to Lei.”
Helplessly, William pleaded with Xavier politely.
However, Xavier took up an annoying front. He arrogantly looked over William’s head. “Which midget is talking? I can’t hear him.”
The assistant who stood beside William became angry. “Why did you say that? Doctor Jones is an expert that the hospital hired at a high cost. He’s a truly talented youth. Of course, a ladies’ man like you can’t reach his height!”
“So, you are also admitting that your doctor is short, aren’t you?”
“He’s not short at all. He was five feet eight during the physical examination, and he’s five feet nine in shoes. He’s not short…”
The assistant looked up at Xavier, who was at least six feet and an inch, and stated with a guilty conscience, “But he’s not as tall as you.”
Xavier appeared smug and looked at William, who was one head shorter than him. “So, I suppose calling you a midget won’t be offensive then?”
“Why, you!”
The assistant was so angry that he felt like beating Xavier up.
William waved his hand and stopped his assistant from speaking anymore. After that, he cracked a professional smile. “Mister, we hold nothing against each other. I don’t know why you harbor such great hostility toward me.”
“No reason why. I simply find you an eyesore, shorty.”
He then put both of his hands in his pockets as deep disdain emerged in his eyes.
If it were not for Leia, such an insignificant doctor had completely no right to speak to him.
Leia stood behind Xavier and listened to their argument. She felt slightly bad about it, so she gently tugged at his clothes. “Xavier, that’s enough. Don’t be too harsh on him.”
“Didn’t he hurt you deeply? I have yet to attack him, and you already feel sorry for him,” Xavier said ambiguously while tilting his head slightly and glancing at Leia, who appeared cowardly.
As a result, Leia was stunned. “How do you know…”
“What do you think?”
He grumpily pinched her ear. “Look at how timid you are. Will you be so cowardly if he wasn’t your ex- boyfriend?”
Leia was rendered speechless.
She felt quite awkward, so she covered her head silently.
She had an allergic reaction, and her face was as swollen as a balloon. It was humiliating enough to bump into her ex-boyfriend, but her crush just had to watch from the side at the same time. It was indeed so embarrassing that she felt like dying.
“Leia, your report is out.”
A laboratory doctor arrived with a test report. The doctor said to Leia, “It’s an allergic reaction because you consumed seafood with mango, so it’s a bit serious. I suggest you get treatment from Doctor Jones. He’s an expert in all fields…”
“Let me have a look at the report.”
William snatched the test report from the laboratory doctor and read the test data on it. His frown grew deeper. “Lei, why are you so disobedient? I told you previously that you may be allergic to mango and seafood. It’s okay if you eat them separately, but you’ll get in big trouble if you eat them together, especially seafood. You can’t eat too much seafood, or else you’ll suffer from shock!”
“Are… you allergic to seafood?”
When Leia realized that she could no longer keep that a secret, she nodded weakly. “A bit.”
