Stella took the medicine from Zeta. “Thanks, Dr. Taylor. I’ll be off, if there’s nothing else.”
Zeta nodded.
Daisy was very curious about why Stella was there and asked, “Ms. Steele, are you ill?”
She was only curious about Ella because of Weston.
After all, she was the only woman around Weston at this point in time. A corner of Stella’s mouth lifted
in a smile that hardly reached her eyes as she replied, observing the most basic of courtesy, “Just
something minor, nothing much.” Daisy wanted to ask more, but Zeta came to Stella’s rescue, “This is
a patient’s privacy. Ms. Daisy, please stop probing so much.” Daisy furrowed her brows. For some
reason, she could sense animosity from Zeta.
“I’m sorry, I was just asking Ms. Steele…”
“She’s my patient,” Zeta cut her off.
There was a subtle hint of contention between both women.
Daisy stood by Xavier’s side.
Xavier caught her hint and glanced at Zeta. Upon seeing that Zeta didn’t even bother looking at him, a
slight tinge of annoyance crept into his heart as he added, “We both know Ella so well. It’s merely a
question of concern. Is there a need to overreact?”
He was clearly siding with Daisy. Zeta looked at him calmly, her eyes cold, “There are no personal
contacts in my office, only patients. If you want to ask her, feel free to do so outside of my office, not
here.”
“You…”
Daisy furrowed her brows, feeling slightly ticked off.
She had indeed snatched Zeta’s fiancé, but Xavier was already fooling around with many women when
he got together with her and was clearly not ready to settle.
To boot, his engagement with Zeta was an arrangement put in place by their families and was never a
matter of true love between them.
Daisy had never viewed Zeta with animosity.
Yet, Zeta seemed to be annoyed at her presence.
This made Daisy very uncomfortable.
“Ms. Taylor, if you are upset with me regarding breaking your engagement with Xavier, I sincerely
apologize to you.”
Zeta furrowed her brows, finding her words absurd. I’ve made clear that I was agreeable to call off the
engagement. There’s no need for you to apologize. I don’t care about that, too.”
She was still being stubborn at such a time.
All women appeared to care about having their men snatched from them.
Daisy sighed. “Since you said it so clearly, all right then…” Her tone clearly betrayed her opinion that
Zeta was lying through her teeth.
Zeta said, slightly annoyed, “If there’s nothing else, please don’t bother me while I’m working.” She
refused to look at Xavier throughout the entire exchange. Xavier tugged at his collar and suddenly held
Daisy’s waist. “Who said that there’s nothing else? Why would we come to the hospital if there’s no
issue? She’s not feeling well. Take a look at her.”
Stella couldn’t stand seeing the both of them ganging up to bully Zeta. “Dr. Taylor is not officially on
duty today. Which doctor did you make an appointment with today?”
Zeta didn’t expect Stella to speak up for her. She stood
stunned for a moment before smiling at her gratefully,” Indeed, I’m not officially on duty today…”
“I know.”
Xavier cut her off, “But I heard that you’re the best doctor around, especially in the field of gynecology. I
didn’t make an appointment because I heard you weren’t around. Now that you are, I would like to
make an appointment.”
“I’m sorry, but it’s not my working hours now.”
She rejected them unceremoniously,
Xavier, on the other hand, was bent getting Daisy checked out by her. “It’s a doctor’s moral duty to save
patients. You’re not busy, so why aren’t you willing to take a look at her?”
Stella said coldly, “I remember Old Mr. Ford reminding you not to appear before Dr. Taylor
unnecessarily.”
