Chapter 300: Craving for Meat (6)
But people around her often told her that Bernard Taylor was really good to her, a notion she never realized. In the end, Bernard suffered numerous scornful looks and hidden schemes because of her.
Her decision to leave the hospital and quit being a nurse was due to an incident she didn’t want to share with anyone. After returning, she truly didn’t want anything to do with him, but this man just wouldn’t leave her be.
When she used to prepare breakfast for him, it would be milk and bread, but Bernard only wanted coffee and a sandwich. Back then, she casually mentioned that drinking coffee on an empty stomach wasn’t good. He gave her a cold glance and said, "You wouldn’t be harboring any inappropriate thoughts about me, would you?"
His words infuriated her so much that she almost threw the coffee in his face. She had never encountered such a narcissistic and overconfident person. She slammed what he wanted down on the table, "Don’t worry, I, Avery Graham, have no such intentions. I know my place. You’re so sought-after; how could I? Put your heart back in your stomach. It’s just that you’re a pretty boy, right?"
She wanted to say it in a mocking tone, but he had a major surgery that day, so she didn’t want to cause any trouble due to her momentary anger.
Those words did get under his skin back then. Avery still remembers the look on his face and how he seemed to want to kill her. But she was quick to run away.
Their interactions were like this: they would always say things that infuriated each other and sometimes even physically clashed. She couldn’t understand how others thought they got along well and even started rumors in the Second Hospital that they were dating.
