Chapter 99: The Scars In The Past

"Excuse me," said the kind-hearted young doctor as he interrupted their conversation.

He wanted to inform them that he could find a female nurse to check on Patricia.

However, Zac didn't give the doctor a chance to speak.He glared at the doctor before turning his gaze
back to Patricia.

"Then we'll just let this doctor check on your condition."

Zac then slowly but gently put Patricia down, a weird smile gracing his handsome face.

Anyone looking at him could see the anger knitted between his eyebrows.

Hearing Zac's words, Patricia nodded her head indifferently.

Glancing at Zac coldly, she said, "Okay.It doesn't matter to me who performs this check-up."

Zac frowned more as he heard this.

Blue veins lined his forehead as he forced a smile onto his cold face.

"Since you said it doesn't matter who does this examination, I won't say anything more."

After that, using his eyes, Zac motioned to the young doctor.

He wanted him to come over and check on Patricia as soon as possible.

Understanding Zac's silent cue, the young doctor inexplicably started sweating and trembled in fear.

‘Is he kidding? I can see the murderous look in Zac's eyes.It's clear as day that if I accidentally touch
Patricia in the wrong way, this man will feed me to the sharks.’



The young doctor swallowed nervously as he cautiously looked at Zac and said, "Mr.Reynolds, are you
kidding me?"

"Am I kidding you? Do I look like I'm joking?" Zac bit his lower lip as he angrily glanced at the doctor
before resting his gaze on Patricia.

Seeing the determined look on her face, Zac became infuriated.

'Does she really want this male doctor to check on her? Wouldn't she feel embarrassed at all?’ Zac
took a deep breath to calm down.

He was so angry that his whole body was trembling.

Staring at Patricia, he waited to see what she would do.Noticing the anger in Zac's eyes, Patricia
ignored him.

Turning away from Zac, she smiled politely at the young doctor.

"Doctor, you can start checking on me now."

Hearing this, the doctor turned pale.

In his fright, he looked at Zac helplessly, at a loss on how to proceed, ‘Mr.and Mrs.Reynolds, why are
you dragging me between your lover's quarrel?’ He was in a dilemma then.

Staring blankly at them, the doctor was too afraid to move a muscle.

Zac nodded his satisfaction when he saw this.

On the other hand, Patricia frowned as she angrily glared at him.

Dissatisfaction lacing her voice, she said, "Isn't it a doctor's duty to take care of their patients?"



She looked at the doctor contemptuously.

She had not expected that the doctor would follow Zac's orders.

‘If this is how they are going to operate, then what need do we have for doctors?’ The young doctor
understood what she meant but was too afraid of losing his job to attend to her.

"Actually, I can have a female nurse come and check on Miss...Mrs.Reynolds now.That way, no one will
feel embarrassed."

The doctor smiled warmly as he offered this solution to them.

Zac was pleased with this suggestion and nodded his approval to the doctor.

Patricia, on the other hand, frowned unhappily.

She only thought of how the doctor was obediently following Zac's command, forgetting that there were
boundaries between men and women.

"No, thank you,"

Patricia said as she refused the doctor's request seriously, meaning that he should be the one to
examine her.

At this point, she had forgotten her fear of doctors.

Zac couldn't be angrier by this decision of hers.

Staring at Patricia fiercely, he didn't notice the streak of blood forming on his lower lip from biting too
hard.



Clenching his fists, he wanted nothing more than to punish her for being so headstrong ‘When will this
woman stop messing around? Is this all a joke to her?’ Patricia knew this was no laughing matter, but
she couldn't explain why she behaved so irrationally.

Whenever Zac ordered her to do something, the urge to resist him always arose as she didn't want to
be controlled by him.

Zac furiously roared, "Patricia, come out," when he saw her disappear into the treatment room.

Zac's roar drew the attention of a nearby female nurse.

Running over in a panic, she shouted, "Doctor, what's wrong?"Are you okay? Did you meet..."

Upon reaching the door, she was greeted by the tall, imposing figure of Zac.

Stunned, she instinctively finished the rest of her sentence.

The nurse barely finished her sentence. She stared obsessively at Zac.

‘Oh, my God.My prince charming has appeared, and I am so close to him! The young doctor coughed
and gave the nurse a disdainful look.

Seeing who the nurse was, the doctor couldn't help but feel sorry for himself.

‘Any other nurse would do, but why is it Dora Ashton who came running in?’ Among the nurse team,
Dora was well known to be ‘boy-crazed'.

Her unusual behavior usually made others feel uncomfortable.

"Dora, can you please help me check on Mrs.Reynolds?"



He then smiled and winked at Dora.Since Dora was now present, he would leave this task up to her
and avoid losing his job.Besides, he didn't want to be on the receiving end of Zac's murderous gaze
again.

Dora grinned innocently, showing her canine teeth.

She immediately walked into the treatment room, and a shriek rang out.

Zac, and even those outside the door, heard it clearly.

"Wow, aren't you Miss Patricia Su? You look more beautiful in real than in your photos.You are truly
dazzling."

Even Zac felt embarrassed when he heard the nurse gushing.He could imagine how the nurse was
looking at Patricia as if she was a star.Patricia took the nurse's reaction in stride.

She thought that Dora's canine teeth made her look like a cute, innocent girl.

"Miss Patricia, I'll need you to relax.It seems that you have hurt your waist.Let me properly examine the
injured area, and then we'll know how to proceed," Dora said in a cheerful tone.

She might have her quirks, being boy-crazy and all, but Dora was still the best nurse with the highest
academic ability on the team.

With a gentle smile, Patricia said in a soft voice, "Thank you.But my back doesn't look good.I hope I
won't scare you."

Patricia's eyes darkened as if a sad secret was about to be exposed.

Dora nodded her head seriously and raised three fingers to promise her, "Don't worry.



I wouldn't be scared so easily, and rest assured, I wouldn't tell anyone what I've seen."

Taking in Dora's cute actions, Patricia couldn't help but chuckle at how adorable she seemed.

Taking a deep breath, Patricia lowered her evening dress, revealing her bare upper body.

Sensing Dora's afflicted gaze boring into her back, a hint of sadness flashed across Patricia's face.

Donning her usual aloof demeanor, she looked back at Dora apologetically.

"I'm sorry to scare you like this."

"Well..." Perhaps it was the shock of seeing such a sight that left Dora speechless.

She stared blankly at Patricia's back.

Words would not be enough to express what she saw.

‘This is not the back that a beautiful woman should have at all! There are scars of different sizes on
it.Some deep while others light, similar to the wounds of a war veteran.But...’

"Miss Patricia Su, how...".

Dora broke down sobbing, unable to finish her sentence.She couldn't help but feel sorry for Patricia.

‘‘What on earth was she made to experience that could cause such injuries to such a beautiful young
woman?’’
