Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 7

"Did I say that you could leave?"

Theodore stared at Everleigh coldly and continued, "I'm not running a charity. I'm a businessman, therefore you'll exchange my favor with something of the same value."

Everleigh felt like she was suffocating. It took her a long time to find her voice. "What do you mean?"

Theodore's gaze fell on the badge on her chest as he mocked her, "Well, a high and mighty doctor like you would not pour a glass of water for a patient, right?"

Everleigh was taken aback but she snapped back to her senses swiftly. "I'll pour you a glass of water."

There was a water dispenser in the room. She got back to him soon with a glass of water. "It's warm. I've tested the temperature, you can just drink it."

Theodore frowned at her.

"Don't get me wrong. I placed the back of my hand on the glass."

Everleigh regretted it after she spoke. Theodore did not even say anything but she explained it without thinking. She felt like she had underestimated him and overdid it.

Theodore did not take the glass of water. On the contrary, he left her standing there.

"You're really considerate with your patients. No wonder he won't let you go."

Everleigh's heart skipped a beat. She could hear the sarcasm in his voice and her heart sank. "It's normal for doctors to come across all types of patients. I'll put the glass of water here. Drink it while it's warm."

She placed the glass of water on the bedside table. Before she could turn around, there was a sharp pain on her wrist. Theodore tugged her and she fell on the bed.

"Ah!"
