However, there seemed a strange voice that told him to read it.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   He sighed and opened the envelope.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   He took a glance at the letter paper. Yet a glance was enough to draw his attention.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   There was only a sentence on the paper, &#8220;Go to see Professor Lewis at Grace Hospital, you&#8217;ll find something surprising.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   The letter was unsigned. It was a confidential letter. The sentence was completely illogical, but he took it seriously.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   A series of things happened in the last few days, which put him off his guard. Life had suddenly changed its course. He couldn&#8217;t look away from where this letter guided him.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   After thinking it through, Christian eventually chose to drive to the hospital alone.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   He went directly to the hospital president&#8217;s office and kicked the door open without knocking first.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Mr. North,&#8221; The big-bellied president jumped to his feet and pulled up a chair for Christian. He had no idea what Christian was here for.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Ask Professor Lewis to come over to see me.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   The president didn&#8217;t give it much thought, and immediately asked his assistant to find Professor Lewis.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;How many Professor Lewises are there in your hospital?&#8221; Christian asked casually in the chair.    <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;There is only one Professor Lewis in the hospital. He is our best gynecologist.&#8221; The president made Christian a cup of tea with a smile. He assumed that Christian might plan starting a family.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Send him in and give us some privacy.&#8221; Christian knew there was definitely something wrong about this Professor Lewis. Thus he was secretly prepared.    <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   The president was relieved. On his way out of the office, he gave Professor Lewis a warning look.    <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Confused, Professor Lewis walked into the office. But he gasped when saw Christian sitting in the chair.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Professor Lewis, please have a seat.&#8221; Putting on a gentle smile, Christian was approachable, but it was impossible to read his mind.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   In a cold sweat, Professor Lewis was too nervous to speak.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Professor Lewis, you know why I want to see you.&#8221; Christian picked up his tea and took a sip, looking very comfortable.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Professor Lewis, on the contrary, was awkward and speechless.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Professor Lewis was too jittery to soothe Christian&#8217;s doubts.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;I heard you are the most prestigious doctor in the hospital. So I guess you are very smart too.&#8221; Christian said.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;I admire someone who takes the initiative. If I had to get to the bottom of it, I would be very displeased. In that case, you will be fired.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Christian put the cup on the table heavily. Several drops of hot tea spilt on the table. Yet his tone was icy cold.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Not only here, you wouldn&#8217;t be able to find a job in the whole country.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   It was the last straw for Professor Lewis.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Mr. North, the whole thing had nothing to do with me. It was Miss Jessica&#8217;s idea.&#8221; He wasn&#8217;t a fool. He knew what Christian was capable of. Rather than continuing to hide it, he might as well confess and blame it all on Jessica.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Miss Jessica wasn&#8217;t pregnant at all. The miscarriage was fake.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Christian was shocked and angry.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Fake? Do you mean, the blood, the medical report, are all fake?!&#8221;Christian approached Professor Lewis. His voice was deep and angry. Professor Lewis fell to the ground in fear.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;It was all Miss Jessica&#8217;s idea.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Christian&#8217;s eyes were red with anger. The most hated thing in his life was to be lied to.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;What else?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Sawing how angry Christian was, Professor Lewis decided to come clean.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;And&#8230;Miss Jessica is perfectly healthy. She doesn&#8217;t have heart disease.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   After hearing Professor Lewis&#8217; confession, Christian completely lost his head. He now felt like a clown that had been toyed around.    <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Apart from these, there is nothing else&#8230;&#8221; Professor Lewis held his breath in fear. The atmosphere was extremely intense.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Christian felt sick. Professor Lewis was trembling. He snorted.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   It was not the time to punish him. First of all, he must find Jessica and confront her in person!   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Christian drove all the way home. He kicked the door of Jessica&#8217;s room open, and dragged her out of bed.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Jessica had never seen Christian so terrifying and rude. She instantly burst into tears.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Christian, you are hurting me.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Jessica&#8217;s tears brought him to his senses. He let go of her hand and sat on the couch by the bed, frowning.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Christian, what&#8217;s going on?&#8221; Jessica&#8217;s heart sunk. She could smell an impending storm.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Why did you lie to me?&#8221; Christian asked.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   \u000f\u000f\u000f\u000f\u000f\u000f\u000f\u000f\u000f\u000f\u000f\u000f\u000f\u000f\u000f<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Christian was too agitated to read a letter now.
