Chapter 1052: Are You Really Going to Compete for Him?

On the phone, Hiruma asked, "I'm almost there. When will you guys arrive?"

"We'll be a little while. You go ahead and replace him. Tell him I need to talk to him," Anthony responded.

Hiruma acknowledged before ending the call.

Turning his head, Anthony looked at Sandy and whispered, "He owns a private clinic. It's not very large in scale, but it's quite reputable in Viteto."

Sandy gave a nonchalant "hm" in response, seemingly unfazed by this information.

Anthony glanced at her and remained silent.

Soon, the car parked in front of a private clinic.

After parking the car, Anthony got out and walked around to open the passenger door for Sandy.

Sandy sat in the car, lost in thought. However, in the blink of an eye, she regained her composure and stepped out of the vehicle.

As her gaze fell upon the hospital entrance, bustling with people, it seemed presentable enough.

Anthony closed the car door and turned to Sandy. "Let's go in."

Sandy agreed with a nod and followed Anthony into the hospital lobby.

Because Anthony had made prior arrangements, there was no need for registration or other formalities. After all, it was a private clinic, and many procedures could be temporarily bypassed if they weren't urgent. Anthony led the way to the sixth floor.

"Are you sure about this?" Anthony couldn't help but whisper as they exited the elevator.

Sandy didn't answer his question directly. Instead, she asked softly, "Is the doctor a man?"

Anthony raised an eyebrow, slightly amused by her query. "Don't worry, he'll arrange for a female doctor." Sandy nodded. "Then let's go."

Seeing Sandy's determination, Anthony refrained from saying more. He led Sandy into the doctor's office.

The doctor was someone Anthony had gotten to know during his reckless days, a time when he often got injured and visited the hospital almost daily. That's how they became familiar with each other. Upon seeing Anthony, the doctor's face contorted with disdain. "You're quite something."

Arching an eyebrow, Anthony regarded him. "What? After all this time, you've forgotten what I do?"

The doctor scoffed. "There's a fruit knife on that table. You've got ten seconds. If you're still here after ten seconds, I'll call security."

Anthony chuckled. "I won't be using a knife today, but your underlings might need to use something else."

As the doctor heard this, he looked over at Anthony and then Sandy, his expression shifting multiple times between them. He finally spoke up, "What do you mean?"

Anthony tilted his head slightly toward Sandy. "Help her."

The doctor stood up and walked over to Anthony, pulling him aside a few steps before lowering his voice. "Did you knock her up?"

Anthony responded with a noncommittal "hm." "She doesn't want the child. Can you take care of it?"

"You're really something else." The doctor muttered in exasperation.

Anthony didn't bother to defend himself. He simply asked, "Will you help?"

"I'll have her examined first."

"Find a female doctor, please."

The doctor playfully nudged Anthony's arm with his elbow before turning around and making a call.

Before long, a female doctor entered the room.

"Doctor Dobbin."

Doctor Dobbin nodded and gestured toward Sandy, who stood by. "Take her for an examination."

The female doctor glanced at Sandy, about to speak, when she suddenly gasped, staring at Sandy in astonishment. "You... Are you Sandy?"

Sandy hadn't expected to be recognized while wearing a mask.

After a moment of hesitation, Sandy removed her mask and revealed her face. "Yes, it's me."

"You..."

"Could you please take me for the examination?" Sandy cut her off softly.

Doctor Dobbin intervened, instructing the female doctor to take Sandy for the examination.

After Sandy and the female doctor left, Doctor Dobbin turned to Anthony. "Wait a minute."

The others in the office all looked at Doctor Dobbin.

Approaching Anthony again, Doctor Dobbin raised his voice, "Have you gone crazy? Wasn't she with someone else? Weren't they about to get married? Did you kidnap her? Threaten her?" Anthony rolled his eyes. "Do I look like that kind of person to you?"

Pausing for a moment, Anthony continued, "I might do that to others, but not to her."

Doctor Dobbin scrutinized Anthony for a few seconds before finally nodding. He instructed the female doctor to perform the examination and then returned to Anthony. "Are you really not coercing her?"

Approaching a chair, Anthony sat down. "Wasn't I clear enough just now?"

"Do you really like her?"

"Otherwise?"

"I never thought you'd fall for someone."

Anthony raised an eyebrow. "Why can't I have feelings for someone? Are you that bored lately?"

Leaning back in his chair, Doctor Dobbin commented, "You know what, I've been feeling like something's missing since you stopped coming to me to treat your injuries."

Suppressing the urge to swear, Anthony said, "Blue, are you trying to shut down this crappy hospital of yours?"

Doctor Dobbin shrugged. "If you're capable, go ahead and shut it down now. Let's see how your beloved will manage."

Anthony: "..."

Evidently, Doctor Dobbin's next statement amused Anthony.

Waving his hand, Anthony said, "Considering you've patched me up many times over the years, I'll spare you."

Doctor Dobbin chuckled, looking somewhat disdainful. However, his expression quickly turned serious as he studied Anthony. "Brandon has some reputation in Viteto. He has connections and a good background. Are you really going to compete for her?"

"Do I need to compete?"

Doctor

Dobbin was aware of the recent events surrounding Viteto, and after a moment of contemplation, he spoke, "The Longman family holds a respectable position. By all accounts, it's a match made in heaven. After all, they were childhood sweethearts. But who's to say old flames won't be rekindled?"

"What are you trying to say?"

Doctor Dobbin met Anthony's gaze. "What else could I be trying to say?"

"Just say whatever you're trying to say."

Doctor Dobbin met Anthony's gaze for a few seconds before relenting. "Are we friends?"

Anthony acknowledged with a grunt and then looked at Doctor Dobbin. "Can I go out back for a smoke?"

Doctor Dobbin stared at him, clearly conveying a "repeat that and get out" expression.

Anthony retrieved the pack of cigarettes from his pocket, ready to light one up. "What are you trying to say?"

"I..."

Before Doctor Dobbin could finish his sentence, his phone rang, interrupting his train of thought.
