Doctor Lin despised Yuehua’s family background, yet he overlooked the fact that his own family was no different from hers.
In Yuehua’s words, the two of them were actually the ones who were well-matched.
“How annoying.”
Doctor Lin laughed at himself in self-mockery. He picked up the bottle and filled his glass with liquor again, asking Yuehua, “Do you want to drink a couple of glasses? I can still keep going. Otherwise, let’s drink together and not stop until we are drunk.”
“If tomorrow you have no energy to go to work, I will give you a day off.”
Yuehua said to him, “Doctor Lin, you are already drunk now, and you still want to drink until you cannot go home.”
“I cannot drink. If I drink, neither of us will be able to get back. I need to drive.”
After Lin Jian finished drinking another glass by himself, Yuehua snatched his glass away and said, “No more drinking. Come on, we are going back.”
She stood up and reached out again to help pull Lin Jian to his feet.
Lin Jian struggled a few times, but eventually let her support him as they left.
They had not even reached the door when he felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.
Unable to hold it in, he immediately covered his mouth, turned, and ran towards the toilet.
He had patronised this bar several times and was familiar with the place.
In the toilet, Lin Jian vomited violently, worse than morning sickness in pregnant women.
Finally, when the vomiting stopped, he washed his face and felt much more sober.
Looking at himself in the mirror, there was no trace left of his usual confident and energetic appearance.
“Xiaoya, am I really that bad? Why do you not like me? I worked so hard and strived desperately all for you…”
“What is so good about that guy surnamed Zhan? He bought the flat upstairs from you with ulterior motives. Clearly he has fallen in love with you, yet you still treat him as just a patient.”
Zhan Yue regarded him as a love rival. He could feel the hostility.
He similarly viewed Zhan Yue as a love rival. Whenever he saw Zhan Yue, he wanted to scratch that handsome face.
What was the point of a man being so good-looking?
To steal someone else’s beloved?
“Boss, are you alright?”
Yuehua’s worried voice came from outside.
Lin Jian suddenly felt that he was really pathetic.
The person he loved did not love him back, yet he still eagerly pursued her.
While the person who loved him, he did not love, and he turned a blind eye to her care.
God was playing tricks on him.
He washed his face with cold water several more times before Lin Jian finally walked out of the toilet.
“I vomited everything out and washed my face with cold water. I feel much better.”
Yuehua saw that he had vomited until tears came out and felt heartbroken.
She took out a tissue and wiped his mouth for him.
“Boss, drink less in the future. We who study medicine all know that drinking harms the body.”
“What is the use of you getting completely drunk for Doctor Zeng? She is not even willing to come and pick you up.”
Lin Jian remained silent.
Yuehua thoughtfully supported him as they left.
Outside the bar, they got into the car. He sat in the passenger seat and let Yuehua drive, since she had not drunk.
Fortunately, she could drive.
She had only learnt to drive and got her licence after starting work at his clinic. After obtaining her driving licence, she bought a second-hand car for commuting, saying that as a new driver she was prone to accidents, and with a used car, any scratches or bumps would not hurt as much.
She planned to buy a new car in the future.
But almost all her money went to subsidising her family. When would she ever save enough to buy a new car?
Even if she managed to save up, as soon as her mother called, she would transfer the money to her mum.
