Chapter 502: Palpitating Heart
Rui waited as he watched Cali’s changing expressions closely. When he noticed she was delving deeper into it he instructed, "Don’t think too much and just relax. Breathe in and breathe out."
Cali followed his instructions as she relaxed herself and stopped her mind from thinking too much about things. She did not want to experience another bout of headache, so she did not ponder on how or where or from whom she heard that word before.
Once she calmed down, she realized what Rui called her a few minutes back. Cali put her both hands on her waist and turned to Rui asking, "Why are you calling me sweetheart, anyway?" It was the second time he called her so, and the word was an endearment usually used by couples when they were in a relationship, so why call her like that.
"Because.. you have a very sweet heart?" Rui mumbled hesitantly.
"Are you trying to be funny right now, Doc?"
"I said call me Rui or you can also call me sweetheart since I also have a very sweet heart..." he said with a teasing grin.
Cali rolled her eyes as she walked past him mumbling, "Unbelievable!"
She never met a doctor as shameless as him. Her first impression about doctors was that they looked and talked very seriously, and Rui was the total opposite of that.
"Sweetheart, wait for me," Rui called with a teasing tone. He walked beside her and explained, "Well when I first saw you I thought you look like a sweetheart... you know, like an absolute sweetheart... Young, lovable and a pleasing person."
