Chapter 6
Seeing that expression, Astrid felt a pang of sadness. But when she looked up at the stone–faced man next to her, she swallowed her words. “Thank you” Elio’s voice was ley, and even though it was only a word of gratitude, it still gave Astrid a jolt.
Astrid quickly shook her head, “No need.”
This guy was too harsh No wonder the kid didn’t want to go with him
Ello bent down to lift Roman into his arms, then turned to leave. He looked as cold as ever.
Roman leaned on Elio’s shoulder, looking back at her His tears fell, and watching them, Astrid felt like she’d just handed a lamb over to a wolf. Her guilt was intense
Astrid closed the door, her phone was buzzing non–stop. Looking at it, she saw a string of memes from her dad, ending with a message, [‘I’m thinking of retiring. When are you coming back to take over the company?“]
Astrid replied with a meme that read, [“Can’t hear you, too windy.“]
Closing the chat Astrid scrolled through her gallery to find a group photo from a company event. She circled Simon’s face, then sent it to Chad, [“Find someone to teach this guy a lesson.“]
Chad responded with an emoji, [“Chief, what did he do?“]
Astrid. Just go, don’t ask so many questions.“]
Chad [Alright, I’m on it“]
She had always thought she could hold her liquor, so she drank heavily tohight. Gracie was on her period and couldn’t drink, so Astrid had ended up drinking way too much. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been scared of Simon’s bodyguards.
She stretched and was about to go to sleep when her phone rang again. The screen displayed a name, Dr. Conrad. Just the sight of the name gave Astrid a headache. She rubbed her temples and picked up the call, “What now? Over the line, laughter rang out “Astrid, I need a favor. You’d help me, wouldn’t you?”
Astrid was poker–faced. “Dr. Conrad, how many times have you called me this month? Can’t you give it a rest?”
Her mentor was a real headache. When she had just been taken in by her biological father, he hired his old friend to take care of her health due to her weak constitution. Unexpectedly, the old man saw her talent for medicine and took her on as his apprentice.
The old man had no children and treated her like his own daughter, passing on all his medical knowledge to her. But, his countless ex–girlfriends from around the world never stopped causing her trouble.
Dr. Conrad tried to entice her when she didn’t respond, “Astrid, the person who needs your help this time is my first love. But I’m currently on a world tour and really can’t make It
“First love?” Astrid was disgusted. “The person you asked me to save last time was also your first love. Just how many “first loves do you have?”
“Uh… Dr. Conrad paused for a few seconds. “The last one was my first love in middle school. This one is from high school.”
First love from middle school and high school?
Astrid wasn’t interested in the old man’s life story and was about to hang up when he said, “I’ve already promised them I’d go save her, and I even used your name, “Aster the Savior.” Everyone in the medical field, knows that when Aster makes a promise, she keeps it. If you don’t go, it’ll ruin your reputation!”
”
Astrid was livid, “You old coot!”
Dr. Conrad chuckled triumphantly, “Hahaha, Astrid, I love you. Mwah!“,
