She Became Rich After Divorce (Cheyenne and Kelvin) novel Chapter 430

Chapter 430: And I Don't Want Money

Sensing the tension between the two, Eddie took a step forward with his handsome face adorned with a warm and charming smile, akin to a gentle breeze in spring.

"Mr. Foley, Cheyenne is already exhausted. If you don't mind, allow me to change your bandages," he offered.

As soon as Eddie's hand reached out, Kelvin deftly sidestepped, his deep-set eyes coldly fixated on Eddie with an eerie glint.

Parting his thin lips, he uttered a rather conceited remark, "You're not qualified enough."

Eddie was momentarily stunned by the ambiguous statement, his heart skipping a beat, but his smile grew deeper.

Nonchalantly shrugging and stepping back, he said, "If Mr. Foley doesn't want my help, then so be it. However, Cheyenne is genuinely exhausted."

Cheyenne overheard their conversation, assuming that Kelvin looked down on Eddie due to his lower social status, hence refusing his assistance.

Fuming with anger, she scolded, "Kelvin, that's enough! Eddie is the youngest person ever to receive a medical award before turning twenty. If he's not qualified enough, then why don't you go to Nightingale to have your wounds treated?"

Kelvin was really jealous when Cheyenne defended another man in front of him.

Eddie discreetly couldn't help but chuckle at Cheyenne's defense of him. He subtly pushed his glasses up his nose and spoke to comfort her, "It's alright, Cheyenne. Mr. Foley is of high status and wealth, whereas I'm just a humble doctor. It's nothing."

Kelvin's initial intention was solely to have Cheyenne tend to his wounds, but after Eddie's comment, it seemed as if Kelvin was looking down on Eddie instead.

But how could someone as proud as Mr. Foley possibly apologize to a doctor?

With a pair of gloomy eyes fixed on Eddie, his voice, seemingly forced through clenched teeth, resonated, "Mr. Zamora, you truly have impressed me."

Unfazed, Eddie met that piercing gaze with poise, clasping his hands together in front of him, and lowering his gaze to observe his own hands.

"Mr. Foley, you're being too polite. If you truly find me displeasing, the hospital has other esteemed senior doctors. Cheyenne had an exhausting night, and she hasn't even had breakfast yet. I would feel sorry for her hunger," he expressed his concern from an elder brother's perspective.

Little did he know that Kelvin interpreted his words differently. A sarcastic snort followed. "And what exactly are you to Cheyenne?"

In the end, Kelvin raised his left hand, gazing at his wristwatch before continuing, "It's only ten o'clock. The hospital officially closes at twelve. As the director, Cheyenne, do you intend to refuse patients seeking medical attention?"

Cheyenne found herself unable to refute his argument, her eyes widening in anger, and her crimson lips pouting with frustration. "Didn't you hear that I haven't eaten?"

To her dismay, Kelvin's response grew sharper, "Are you suggesting that you'd replace a surgeon just because you haven't eaten before going into the operating room?"

"I..." Cheyenne was at a loss for words.

Was he comparing his situation to lying on an operating table?

Feeling frustrated by Mr. Foley's unreasonable statements, Eddie coughed lightly and intervened, attempting to reconcile the two.

"Cheyenne, how about you tend to Mr. Foley's wound first, and I'll go buy you breakfast? What would you like to eat?"

Cheyenne couldn't help but let out a light exclamation, her eyes shining, and she smiled a bit embarrassedly, "Is this okay? Thank you so much for doing all this, Eddie..."

"It's no problem, the last thing we need is for you to starve. The stomach is the hardest thing to please."

"Humph, you must be up to something!"

Cheyenne glanced at him, warning him not to cause trouble...

Kelvin pursed his lips and spoke before she could, "She likes to eat soup dumplings with milk, from that restaurant in city south. Mr. Zamora, could you take care of it? I'll have my assistant transfer double the amount to you later."
