I Only Want You novel Chapter 8

Elizabeth Liang eventually went to the hospital with James Lu, she didn't even know why she followed him. Perhaps she simply had nothing left to worry about anymore.

The doctor was a woman in her forties. She looked at Elizabeth's forehead and swollen eyes, and then she looked at James in front of her. She asked Elizabeth, "He hit you?"

Elizabeth opened her mouth but said nothing. She just shook her head.

James's face twisted upon hearing this. "Do you think it's the appropriate time for this?"

The doctor glanced at him with scornful eyes, "Hey, are you roaring at me? After hitting your girlfriend?"

"No doctor, you misunderstood."

"You..." James wanted to say something else, but his phone rang at the same time. When he took it out and saw the name on the screen, his expression changed. Then he said to Elizabeth, "I have to answer the phone." and walked out.

"Is he having an affair outside? He doesn't answer the phone in front of you." The doctor said with her head shaking.

Elizabeth didn't want to run her mouth, but wasn't this woman a bit too creative?

"You really misunderstood. He and I are just... just strangers. He brought me here to help me. It's not what you think."

When she said the word "strangers", she paused. They're strangers, right? After all, she knows nothing about him other than his name. But maybe they're more than strangers, since what had happened between them...

The doctor seemed a little embarrassed and tried to gloss it over. "I suppose there's still better than evil in this world." Then she stopped talking and focused on the wound on her forehead.

James stood on the landing and lit a cigarette. Looking at the phone in his hand, he didn't know if he should pick it up.

Then the phone didn't ring. And it took a long time it didn't ring again. He let out a sign, feeling disappointed.

She was always like this, never having enough patience for him.

He finished the cigarette in his hand and turned around when the phone rang again.

It was still the same name and the same number.

This time, he grinned slightly.
