Chapter 788 Cuckold (Part Two)

Leona pulled down his hand. Joe's face was pale and was even more afraid than her. She really didn't understand why a man was so timid.

The key point was that as a doctor, he dealt with people who were on the edge of life and death every day. They should be bolder than ordinary people.

"There is no ghost at all. I thought you were a ghost when you suddenly appeared behind me." Said Leona sourly. She was almost scared out of her mind by Joe just now.

Hearing her words, Joe breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, he found that his hand was still tightly holding Leona's shoulder. He quickly released his hand with embarrassment, scratched his head and said, "It turns out to be a misunderstanding."

"Why are you so timid? Shouldn't doctors be bold?" Looking at his still frightened face, Leona asked curiously.

"What does it have to do with the job? I... I was just scared by your sudden cry. It's so late. Why haven't you gone to bed yet?" In order to avoid her from continuing the embarrassing topic, Joe changed the topic at the right time.

"I can't fall asleep. You haven't had a rest, have you?" Said Leona honestly.

Joe nodded, knowing that she was worried about Eden's condition, and said, "I'm studying his disease. I want to see if I can make use of the several chemicals in his body, or maybe I can stop the increase of white cells in his body."

Leona was very grateful. No one would like to stay up late for other people's affairs unless they were his or her family. Even a friend would find it difficult to do this.

"Thank you, Dr. Joe. I really don't know how to express my thanks." Said Leona gratefully. At this time, she needed much encouragement and help from others.

Only in this way could she know that she was not fighting alone, and there was someone else accompanying her to fight at the front. Joe's help was like giving her a new hope.

"You're welcome. It's my duty. After all, Eden is my nephew. How can I leave him alone? By the way, someone brought me coffee beans from Brazil. I can't fall asleep anyway. How about having a cup of coffee in my office? We can also have a chat." Joe scratched his head and said. He didn't know what to do when he was thanked by others again and again.

"Okay." Of course, Leona would not refuse. She followed Joe to his office. After making two cups of coffee for the two, Joe sat opposite to Leona and chatted with her.

"I've read your medical records. Although the chance of pregnancy is very small, almost down to zero, But I hope you won't give up hope. Even if there is only one percent chance, try your best. You must feel relaxed."

"I know all these, but it's one thing to know, and it's another to really do it. Anyway, I will try my best." Said Leona with a bitter smile.

Of course she knew that she should be relaxed and not think about anything, but how could she do it? The pictures of Greg and the woman in red always appeared in her mind from time to time, and the terrible scene she saw them in the lounge of his office the day before yesterday, which made her unable to get over it.

Although she had comforted herself countless times in her heart, she could deceive others, but she could not deceive herself. Every night in the dead of night, those pictures would unconsciously jump into her mind and linger in her mind.

"Well, be open-minded. In fact, it's not a big deal. It's normal for men to be with women. Bah, bah, bah, what am I talking about? I mean that everyone will be confused sometimes. It's difficult to stay calm when facing a beauty. Alas, that's not right. Just don't think about those useless craps. The first priority is to cure Eden." Joe stuttered and didn't know how to persuade her.

He also heard something about Greg. He also knew that the reason why Leona couldn't relax was that she was worried about her son's condition. It also had something to do with Greg.

He really wanted to persuade this woman, but he was really not good at this kind of thing. The reason why he had never been in love was that love was too troublesome. It was much easier to deal with the medical data. After all, the data would not lie, and love was too unreliable.

Looking at his clumsy explanation, Leona smiled ironically. She knew that Joe wanted to comfort her out of kindness, but he was not good at expressing himself. "Thank you, Dr. Joe. I'm fine."

Joe scratched his head and looked at Leona with some embarrassment. It was great that she could understand what he meant. He regretted immediately after saying those words. How could he seem to be comforting her? It was obvious that he was adding fuel to the fire. It was rare for her to be so considerate.

"By the way, don't call me Dr. Joe from now on. We are friends. You can just call me Joe." Joe said.

"Well, you can just call my name directly from now on. Don't always call me Miss Ling, which seems very indifferent."

"Okay, I'll call you Leona from now on." After saying that, the two of them looked at each other and smiled.

"It's late at night. It's nice for you two to hide here. I came at a bad time." A strange voice came from the door. His low voice obviously suppressed his anger. It was Greg.

He had been standing there for a long time. When Joe said that it was normal for men to be with woman, he had been standing outside the door. Just now, their conversation was heard clearly by Greg. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

At this time, looking at the two people in front of him, Greg was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. He really didn't expect that Leona was so capable. It was not a big deal that she had an affair with York before. After all, they had known each other for ten years, and they had dated before.

But now she was hooked up with Joe. How long had they known each other? Besides, it was through him that Joe got to know Leona, which made Greg feel that he was betrayed by a friend and a beloved woman at the same time.

And Joe made him angry. How could Joe say that he was a casual man behind his back? What about himself? He had always regarded Joe as his good friend before, thinking to introduce a good girl to Joe. He did not expect that Joe had found the girl himself, and the most hateful thing was that it was his woman.

He couldn't bear it anymore. He didn't want to be cuckolded like this. He immediately punched at Joe's nose.
