Billionaire's Reborn Baby -
Chapter 823 Coexisting
On Christmas Day, the entire hospital was celebrating.
Staff could get apples in the dining hall and take part in Christmas tree activities at night. Doctors and nurses could choose the gift boxes on the Christmas tree. Many patients and their family members were eager to participate. No matter old or young all had fun.
Collin had a stone plaster on hand, he was first invited out by everyone to choose a gift box. The Christmas tree was about two meters tall. He was not short and he took a relatively tall small box with his left hand. The box was exquisite, so it must contain an exquisite gift.
The little nurses all looked at Collin shyly, waiting for him to open the box and come over to them. However, Collin did not open it. He took the box and turned back to the office.
He was on duty tonight.
The young nurses watched him leave dejectedly. The male doctors were aggrieved. They did not understand why Collin could attract so many young nurses although he already had a girlfriend.
A WeChat notification sounded on his phone. It was from Cora. It was just a few photos for him to take some time to pick one and go on a blind date on the weekend.
The girls in the photos were white, beautiful, and leggy. Collin casually glanced at the photos and put away his phone. He opened his folder to check the condition of a patient that he had been following up in the past few days.
"Merry Christmas!" asked Leon. "Did you open your gift box?"
"Not yet, what's wrong?" Collin raised his head.
"Damn, our director is so generous this time." Leon took out his gift box from behind and opened it, "It's a shopping card!"
Collin was speechless.
Was this called generous?
He took out his small box and threw it to Leon, "Then please open it and show me his generosity."
Leon did as he told. "Wow, it's awesome. This is an ear stud. It looks pretty good. If those nurses choose this, I'm afraid they'll be so cheerful."
Collin glanced at it. It was a pair of elk-shape ear studs. The festive elk had a red Christmas hat on its head. It was of fine workmanship, and even the eyes of the elks were lifelike.
"Well, you can send it to your little girlfriend," Leon said sourly.
"I've told you, she is not my girlfriend." Collin took back the ear stud and observed it for a moment in his palm. Then he put it back into the box.
"Fine. Take it back and send it to your beautiful female friend. Maybe she'll become your girlfriend after that," Leon said with envy, "Why do you know so many beautiful girls? The one on the blind date last time was also beautiful."
Beautiful girls?
He knew someone who was not beautiful at all.
Collin opened the drawer and threw the delicate little gift box in and saw the bottle of perfume.
"Everyone was on a date, and we are on duty." Leon sighed. "You could at least send the ear stud to a girl. I can only send my card to my mother."
"You can send it to the nurse." Collin closed the drawer.
"Then my mother will beat me hard." Leon sighed with upset. "She was very informed. She can get everything new in the hospital at once. She is comparable to a secret agent."
Collin thought about Cora and couldn't help but sigh. Probably this was what mothers like.
The next morning, Collin packed his things and left. When he opened the drawer, he glanced at the small box with the bottle of perfume on it.
Christmas Eve and Christmas passed one after another, and he had never contacted Roxy.
The early morning of winter was very cold. As he walked on the road, the air he breathed out was white. Everything was still waking up silently. But the red sun on the horizon was rising. Collin put on a coat and went out to take a taxi.
Half an hour later, he carried breakfast upstairs and knocked on Roxy's door.
"Doctor Mueller?" Roxy seemed to have not woken up yet. In the cold winter, she was only wearing a thin set of pajamas.
She stood at the door, her hair disheveled and her eyes half-narrowed without any beauty and charm.
Collin took a step forward and reached out his hand in plaster to hold her.
Collin had the coldness of the early morning of winter, and Roxy had just gotten up from the bed, full of warmth. Their embrace was like the collision of ice and fire. Roxy was stimulated by the coldness. She frowned unconsciously and tried to push Collin away.
"My hand hurts." Collin's head was pressed against her shoulder. Smelling the warm scent of the bedding on her body, he was completely relaxed.
Roxy gradually stopped her resistance. She raised her slightly empty eyes and only saw the wall opposite her. She said in a hoarse voice, "Doctor Mueller, don't you have a girlfriend?"
Collin was suddenly enlightened. His mind was active, but his face did not show anything.
'Roxy must be jealous.' Collin felt happy in his heart.
"No." Collin tightened his arm around her, and no one could feel his nervousness. "Roxanne, are you jealous?"
Roxy did not speak.
Collin released his hand and looked into her empty eyes.
He suddenly lost all of his strength.
"Let's eat. I bought you breakfast."
Roxy nodded.
She closed the door and went to wash up. When she walked to the bathroom, Collin's words popped up in his mind.
"Roxanne, are you jealous?"
"You wrote sweet plots before!" The editor's roar was close to her ears at the same time. "Why are all the manuscripts recently so abused? You can't set the protagonist in the scripts fall out of love just because you did it yourself!"
Roxy brushed her teeth and rinsed her mouth, burying her face in the water.
"Rich people like games. Don't have true feelings for them. Once you do, it will be a dead end. I'm a typical example."
Roxanne seemed to have heard her voice. "I didn't."
"Really? Look at your recent torturing writing style and look at your face. Although you usually have this expressionless face, at least you sometimes smile when you are sweet with him. Look at you now, you look crossed in love! Why don't you call him and ask him who the woman that had dinner with him that day was? If he says that woman is his girlfriend, you can blacklist him and never contact him again. If not, you can continue to be with him. Why do you have to be like this."
Roxanne felt her heartbeat become chaotic.
"I know what you are thinking about. Are you afraid that he will dislike you if he knows about your past?
Roxanne held her breath for a long time, gasping for breath as she revealed her face from the pool. She looked at herself in the mirror and felt that the water on her face was like tears, sliding down her cheeks "What if he likes you and doesn't mind your past?
"But I do!" Roxanne roared in her heart.
She reached out her hand to blur the mirror with water and looked down at the pool in a daze.
She envied all the children who were born with golden spoons in their mouths. She envied them for having a beautiful childhood. She envied them for having parents who loved them dearly. She envied them for being able to get anything they wanted. She envied them for being always full of confidence and optimism. Because she had none of these things.
It was said that the more you wished for something, the more you would approach such a person who had it. It seemed that Collin was the reflection of the darkness
her heart.
She was like a flea that lived at the bottom of the food chain.
Collin was like a light that uncovered her ugliness.
Flea and light... how could they coexist?
