Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1156

The doctor's office.

Juniper sat in a chair, carefully reviewing Shanley's medical records.

Head trauma, fractured ribs, hairline fractures in both legs...

Injuries everywhere.

He hardly looked like a normal person anymore.

If not for his years of rigorous training and the protective measures he took in advance...

He probably would have been waiting in line at the gates of hell by now.

"Although there are micro-fractures, it's not terribly serious," the doctor said respectfully. "With some time to rest, he'll gradually recover."

"Mhm." Juniper closed the file after finishing. "Thank you all for taking care of him."

"It's our duty." The doctor was flattered, and knowing her identity made him even more respectful. "The other doctors just mentioned that Mr. Schwartz seems to have misunderstood his condition. He's in a bad mood and wants to see you."

"Okay." Juniper's lips curled, a faint smile flashing in her eyes.

The kiss worked.

That stupid man finally caught on?

--

A little while later.

Juniper returned to the hospital room.

The door pushed open.

As soon as Juniper walked in, the man immediately craned his neck and asked weakly,

"Where did you go?"

"Mr. Schwartz, you're so selfless. I just went to find a replacement for my 'ex' here," Juniper leaned against the doorframe, smirking.

"Cough, cough." Shanley's face turned ashen. It took him a good while to recover before he rasped, "Juniper, come here."

"No way, we're about to break up." Juniper deliberately adopted a sarcastic tone. "Shouldn't we keep our distance?"

"You heartless little thing, you tricked me." Shanley was both angry and helpless, his tone softening. "Come here."

"Tch." Juniper scoffed lightly, stepped up to the bed, and sat sideways next to him.

Before the man could speak.
