Chapter 328 I Am A Doctor “You're awake.” Samuel's voice came from the doorway. Gizem stilledbefore her gaze flew in his direction. “Yeah.” He strode in with an inscrutable expression. “Thank youfor saving Desi and Madeline.” “Don’t mention it. It's what I should do,” she returned. The intensityof his stare made her uneasy. She asked, “Are they hurt?” “No,” he replied flatly.

"Glad to hear that.” She breathed a sigh of relief. “Oh, right, what about the guys? Did you replace outwho sent them?” “The police are still interrogating them.” His stare never wavered from her, sendingthe hairs on her neck stand on end. "Do you have a question for me, Mr. Macari?” she askeduneasily. Samuel pulled out his phone and placed it in front of her. “This was taken in a casino inLusterg about a week ago. Can you explain it?” Gizem lowered her head to look at the photo. It wasLauren impersonating her and getting caught on camera. I knew this would happen. “That womanisn't me, Mr. Macari. She looks like me because I have plain features,” she clarified. “Don't you thinkyour explanation is a little far-fetched?” His expression remained emotionless. “Since that's what youthink, Mr. Macari, there's nothing more I can say,” she said. “I guess we'll have to do this the hardway.” His finger glided across the phone screen. “Take a look at these photos. They were the sameperson taken at the same time in different places, and they all work for Windwell Corporation.” Shewrung her hands. “I don’t know anything about that.”

If 1 replace out you're associated with that corporation, you're doomed.” His expression turned flinty.Gizem could sense his wrath lining the words, and she felt an inexplicable pressure building in herchest. “Mr. Macari, even if I was associated with that corporation, I would never do you or Desi anyharm. I'm a doctor,” she shot back. “Do I need to list out every heinous act they have committed toyou?” Samuel snorted. Of course she was aware of what Windwell Corporation was capable of, butshe wasn't the kingpin and didn't know the ins and outs. She only knew to keep her head down andmind her own business. He pocketed the phone and turned on his heels. “I'll never forget how yousaved Desi. And I'll forever thank you for that.” Then, he left with long strides, his expression grim.Gizem felt as if the ground had fallen away beneath her. How dare he accuse me like that? I've neverharmed anyone. Someone entered the room at that moment, and she glanced sideways at the door.It was Gemma.

“You're awake, Dr. Zabinski.” Joy laced her tone as she spoke. “Yeah.” Gizem nodded. Gemmastepped further into the room. “Though you didn't break any bones, you're still severely injured. Youmight be unable to perform surgeries if we don't treat your hand properly.” “I know.” She knew athing or two about her own injury. “Would you like to contact your family members and tell themabout your condition, Dr. Zabinski?” Gemma asked. “I don’t have any,” she answered. No family?"Are you an orphan?” Gemma asked, to which Gizem nodded. “What about your friends?” Gemmasounded sympathetic. Friends? No, I don't think so. Gizem gave it a thought. She didn’t get alongwith her coworkers. They all treated her as though she were an alien. “I don't have any either,” shereplied monotonously. Gemma was frazzled. “I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked.” “It's all right.” Gizemshook her head lightly. Levi entered the room with a huge bouquet as soon as she finishedspeaking. “Hey, babe.” He was his usual annoying self. “Cut it out.” Gizem rubbed her temples.Gemma observed their exchange and took the hint.

“Well, I won't interrupt you both.” She left with a smile. “I left you alone for a few days, and youmanaged to injure yourself. You should take better care of yourself.” He placed the flowers inGizem's arms. “Beautiful flowers for a beautiful woman,” he complimented. “I'm a plain Jane. Youdon't have to force yourself to flatter me.” She gazed at the bouquet in her arms. “But thank you forthe flowers. I like it.” Levi smiled faintly. “I knew you'd like it. See how well I know you?” Gizem waslost for words. “Babe, you should move in with me when you're discharged.” His voice turnedtender. “I'll take care of you until you've fully recovered.” He was being serious. “Severe injuries willtake a long time to heal, but mine are only flesh wounds. I don't need anyone looking after me.” Shedeclined.

Levi had nothing to do with her. She would never ask him to look after her. “Do you no longer loveme?” His face fell in disappointment. Gizem said nothing. I never loved you in the first place. When aknock sounded on the door, she called out, “Come in.” Desi breezed through the door. “Are youfeeling better, Ms. Zabinski?" Desi wasn't alone; Madeline and Federick trailed behind her. Samuelwas mercifully nowhere to be seen, or he could have misunderstood if he saw Levi with her. Herbrows furrowed at that thought. Why should I care if he misconstrues the situation? “I'm fine.”Gizem gave a smile. “What about you guys?” “Madeline and I are fine. Does your boo-boo hurt?Should 1 give it a kiss?" Desi responded. “No, thank you. I'm fine now, really.” Gizem laughed.Madeline fixed her gaze on Gizem. “Thank you.” “Don’t mention it,” replied Gizem with a smile.Federick's gaze swept over Levi from head to toe, and Levi did the same to him. “This is Levi. Levi,that's Federick Evans. He's the organizer for the charity event.” Gizem made the introductions. “Ah,so you're Mr. Evans.” Levi approached him and extended his hand for a handshake. “I've heard a lotabout you.” “Pleased to meet you, Mr. Levi,” Federick acknowledged.

“I've always heard your name on the news.” “You mean the gossip rags?” Gizem quipped, catchingFederick off guard. Levi retaliated, “No way! I'm saving myself just for you.” Gizem shot him awordless look that said she was only teasing him. “Ah, got it...” He smiled conspiratorially. Gizemfroze and tried to explain, “No, this isnt what you think. We're not together.” “Why not, babe?” Levimade a face. “You even accepted my flowers.” She was speechless. “Mr. Levi, you can't be with Ms.Zabinski.” Desi clung to Gizem’s arm protectively. “Why?” He frowned. “Because she's my mommy!”she declared earnestly. Levi guffawed. “She's your mommy? Oh, please. You want her to be yourstepmother, but have you asked your daddy?”

“I don't have to ask! She’s my mommy!” Desi exclaimed indignantly. “She’s not. Her name is GizemZabinski, and she's not your mommy.” Levi leveled his gaze on her. “She is! She is!" Desi persisted.“No, she isn't. She isn't.” Levi denied. Desi was on the verge of tears at this point. “Have you hadenough, Levi?" Gizem told him off. Does he think it's fun to pick on a child?
