Exposing the Charade of Deep Affection (PDF)
Chapter 69

Chapter 69 Was this preparing to give oneself to someone?

Upon closer inspection, I realized it was a person locked inside the iron gate. He was leaning on the small window of the door, staring straight at me with his eyes.

Looking at the source of the sudden sound, I forced a smile, trying to appear as friendly as possible, and said to him, "I am the doctor here."

He furrowed his brows, staring at me as he grunted, "You can't possibly be a doctor. Doctors don't smile at me, and you're not wearing a white coat. Tell me, who are you? Or else, I'll summon my little white to annihilate you."

I paused, looking at the person, and whispered, "I'm here to replace someone, a friend. I'm not a bad person."

"Villain, you are a villain, yes, a villain..." The person didn't know what happened, suddenly started banging on the door without any warning, making loud thumping noises, shouting loudly.

For a moment, the patients in the other rooms heard the commotion and each became agitated, some even started to roar. I was so frightened that I froze on the spot, my brain somewhat sluggish. "Woof woof..." Suddenly, a big black dog in the corridor rushed towards me.

I broke out in a cold sweat and instinctively started to run, but the big black dog relentlessly pursued me. It looked like I was about to be knocked down by it.

Suddenly, someone shouted, "Run to the stairs!"

Perhaps it was human instinct, I ran towards the emergency exit and into the staircase. After going up one floor, I locked the emergency exit door on that floor.

The big black dog was locked in the stairwell, and I finally breathed a sigh of relief. In hindsight, I realized that the person who had just warned me seemed to be a woman, her voice sounding somewhat familiar.

Taking a breath, I walked to the staircase at the other end, ready to go downstairs to confirm if the person who reminded me just now was Abagail.

Unexpectedly, just as I reached the staircase, I almost bumped into someone. Thinking it was a doctor coming to catch me, I was planning to run away before I could even see clearly. Not wanting to be held back by the collar, "Tabatha, are you a pig? It's me."

Alexander?

Hearing the sound, I was taken aback. Turning around, it was indeed. the handsome and elegant face of Alexander. I breathed a sigh of relief and asked him, "How come you're here?" He glared at me, speechless, "Breaking into a madhouse, Ms. Conner, should I praise you?"

I pursed my lips, not having the time to engage in such nonsense with him. I looked at him and said, "Alexander, I think I saw Abagail. She's in the ward downstairs. Let's go replace her." As I said this, I was about to take him to replace Abagail, but he lifted me up by the back of my neck, "Tabatha, do you want to be chased by a dog again?"

Restrained by him in such a disrespectful manner, I struggled a few times, glaring at him and said, "I'm here to replace someone. If you, Alexander, won't help me, could you at least not cause me trouble?" He pulled at me, saying directly, "Causing trouble? Tabatha, I came to save you out of goodwill, and you actually think I'm causing you trouble. I'll tell you, there's not just one wolf dog in this yard. If you don't want to die here, follow me."

Saying this, without waiting for me to respond, he directly dragged me out of the building and took me to the spot where I had climbed over the wall to get in.

The wall was high, without a fulcrum, I couldn't climb up, I needed his help.

Luckily, he was sensible enough to squat down by the wall, looking at me irritably, he said. "Step on my shoulder and go up, hurry up."

Seeing this, I reluctantly took one last look at the hospital building. We were about to replace the person, and just leaving like this was... frustrating.

"Tabatha, what are you dawdling for? Hurry up!" Alexander urged, already somewhat impatient.

Helplessly, I had no choice but to step on his shoulders, attempting to climb over the wall.

"Woof woof..." A bark sounded once again.

I was so scared that my legs gave out, and coincidentally, I ended up on Alexander's shoulders. He was also frightened and looked back, only to see that the big black dog had already blocked our way. In a moment of panic, I couldn't muster any strength at all. I could only cling to the wall while sitting on Alexander's shoulders, anxiously

asking, "What should we do? What should we do?"

Alexander was also scared out of his wits, sticking to the wall, he said, "I must have been really unlucky in my past hundred lives, Tabatha. If we get out of this, you'll have to compensate me well." The big black dog was barking at us aggressively. I tried to climb over the wall, but fear had weakened my hands and I couldn't muster the strength. I had no choice but to respond to Alexander, "Alright, alright, as long as we get out of here safely, I'll do whatever you ask of me."

"Is this the beginning of a physical commitment?" A deep, restrained voice sounded, somewhat familiar.

I was taken aback for a moment, turned around and saw clearly the distinguished man in a black suit standing next to the large black dog. There were also a few doctors in white coats next to him. At this point, the large black dog had already calmed down, squatting like a cat, tilting its head and sticking out its tongue, enjoying the sight of us fleeing in disarray.

"Walter!" Alexander spoke, setting me down from his shoulder, looking at the man dressed in expensive clothes, he frowned, "What are you doing here?"
