Chapter 748 Hopelessly In Love
"But how can you be so sure that I’d fall in love with you and end up in your bed?" the doctor retorted, refusing to back down.
Leo, however, wasn’t giving her any leeway.
"Ever heard the saying, ’Prevention is better than cure’?" He shrugged. "Sure, you might not be like other women, but why should I gamble my peace of mind just to test the waters? I’d rather prevent any unnecessary complications before they even begin."
"But..." The doctor hesitated, chewing on her lower lip as she looked conflicted and pitiful. Her expression made it clear—she wasn’t just worried about herself; she was afraid of losing her job.
"We’ll provide you with a recommendation to any hospital or research team of your choice as compensation," Leo stated firmly. "It was my people’s mistake for allowing you in, and since I’m the one dismissing you, it falls on me to make amends. However, you’ll need to keep everything that happened here confidential and sign a non-disclosure agreement."
Leo gave Terry a subtle nod, signaling him to prepare the necessary documents. Terry couldn’t help but feel bad for the doctor—she truly seemed innocent, a professional simply doing her job.
But he knew better than to question Leo’s decision. Leo had avoided the presence of women for years; even his secretaries were all men. Many had assumed he wasn’t interested in women at all—some even speculated he might be gay—until he began courting Hera.
They thought he had finally opened up, which was why they allowed the female doctor in, given that none of her senior brothers were available.
But now, seeing how things turned out, Terry realized he had misjudged the situation. And ultimately, he had only himself to blame.
