Chapter 144 Self-Directed and Self-Acted

Hearing about the heroic rescue, the doctor's eyes sparkled with mischief, "Is it the beauty who came with you yesterday? Why isn't she with you today?"

Seeing the gossip alight in the doctor's eyes, I felt a little embarrassed, "Yes, but it's normal for her not to accompany me since we are just friends."

The doctor teased, poking me, "You've already played the hero; didn't the little beauty take a fancy to you or something?"
