PopularNovelChapter 274 After the patient's family left, he turned to meet her gaze. "What's wrong?" She snapped out of her thoughts, forcing a smile as she changed the subject. "Do you know the patient's family?" He nodded. "They've been my patients before.” "No wonder..." "No wonder what?" She grinned. "I was just wondering who was so considerate as to draft the entire treatment plan for me." Judd looked at her, about to reply, when a nurse approached. "Professor Carstairs, there's a Ms. Winthrop here to see you." Winthrop...
Charlotte's brows knit together.
Tricia? Judd caught the subtle shift in her expression and suddenly asked, "Should I see her?" She blinked, puzzled. “Why are you askingwhether you should meet her?" He teased, "Aren't you two close friends?" Charlotte didn't answer.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe let the topic drop. "Aren't you even curious what she wants from me?" Honestly, she wasn't, but Judd's tone piqued her curiosity just enough. Judd agreed to see Tricia.
Charlotte was still around, though she stayed in the office restroom.
1/3 14.10 Chapter 274 When Tricia found out Judd had finally agreed to meet her, she hurriedly touched up her makeup in the elevator mirror.
She followed the nurse to Judd's office, paused to compose herself at the door, then walked in with a practiced, radiant smile. “Mr. Carstairs, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Tricia.” Judd glanced up at her, gestured for her to sit, and settled into his professional demeanor. "Are you feeling unwell?" Her smile faltered for a split second, but she held it in place. “No, I'm not sick. I cto speak with you specifically." "We haven't met before. What can I do for you?" She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, giving him her most charming look. “I'm one of Professor Aldridge's students and a friend of Mr. Pembroke's. He mentioned that you and he grew up together, that you're practically family. I heard about your work with Professor Aldridge on the nanotherapy project, so I thought it might be good for us to connect, you know, since we're all partners in this venture." Charlotte frowned. Now she remembered-Professor Aldridge had indeed spoken up for Tricia that day. So it was true; Tricia really was Aldridge's student.
Judd idly spun the pen in his hand. “I'm not involved with the nanotherapy research. If you're looking for someone, it should be Professor Carstairs, not me."

"I have plenty already." Tricia's smile froze. Jonathan hadn't been exaggerating-Judd really was impossible.

"Let's get one thing straight," Judd said coolly. "First, I don't even know you, so what could I possibly have against you? Second, you trackeddown at Thers, and now you've shown up at the hospital. At first, I thought you were a critical patient in desperate need of help. But now, it seems you do have a problem, just not the kind I can treat. Still, if you'd like, I could prescribe you something." Tricia choked back a retort, her lips twitching. "...That won't be necessary." There was no saving face; if she kept pushing, it would only get worse.
She turned to leave, but out of the corner of her eye, she noticed am shadow moving in the restroom-a slender figure, clearly a woman.
So he's hiding someone away in here, she thought bitterly NO wander He turneddown. After Tricia left, Judd finally spoke.
