Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1512

"Hmph." Melvin slammed down the thermos of nutritional soup he was holding and stormed toward the door in a huff. "Talking to you is no fun at all."

Juniper was speechless.

What a baby.

At the door.

He happened to bump into Lorelei, who was just returning from Eleanor's room. He immediately stood up straight and greeted her respectfully, "Lorelei."

"Yeah." Lorelei offered a faint smile and asked softly, "What's wrong? Where are you rushing off to?"

"Oh, my heart was just brutally wounded by a heartless man, so I'm stepping out for some fresh air." Melvin shoved his hands in his pockets, lifting his chin arrogantly. "It's your husband. His tongue is way too toxic."

"?"

Lorelei was so caught off guard she barely knew how to respond, managing a polite smile. "Chest pains? You should probably get that checked out."

"This illness of mine can't be treated by any ordinary doctor," Melvin said with a cool smile. "There's only one person who can cure me, and I haven't managed to book an appointment with her yet."

Speaking of which.

An image of a vibrant, youthful figure popped into Melvin's head.

She was always calling him 'sir, sir, sir.'

If someone didn't know better, they'd think he was an eighty-year-old grandpa. Heh.

"You should go in, Lorelei," Melvin said. "Feed him some soup and shut Harold's mouth for good."

Lorelei was completely bewildered.

Was there really someone out there more skilled than Juniper, the legendary Dr. Nocturne?

The door pushed open.

Juniper was examining Harold's vitals. Seeing Lorelei enter, she raised a brow. "Lorelei."

"Juniper."

Lorelei stepped forward, her gaze unbelievably tender. "How is it? Is it serious?"

"He'll live."

Juniper stood up straight and said calmly, "Mostly superficial wounds, but his lower back took a pretty hard hit."
