The CEO Lost Me, the Doctor Won My Heart novel Chapter 8

I instantly felt my face heat up.

"Oh—uh, sorry. I just assumed..."

"That the expert would be some old guy?"

Aiden stood up, pulled out the patient chair for me, and motioned for me to sit.

Still embarrassed, I sat down.

Before I could explain myself, Aiden smirked and said, "Yeah, I get it."

"Everyone thinks older means better."

"Most of my patients are senior citizens."

"They always ask the same thing—‘So, who's your mentor?'"

Maybe it was because he'd trained abroad, but he was a lot more easygoing than I expected.

He wasn't as quiet or serious as he looked at first glance.

Talking to him was effortless—he even cracked a few harmless jokes.

Before I knew it, he was already checking my hand.

I didn't even notice until a sharp pain hit me, making me flinch.

Aiden let go of my hand.

"The bones were damaged too badly."

"There's tendon involvement too."

"We'll need to run some more tests to get the full picture."

I'd heard the same thing from every doctor I'd seen.

Jessi said Aiden was one of the best, but I wasn't expecting much at this point.

I nodded and stood up.

"Thanks for—"

Before I could finish, Aiden had already printed out my test orders and handed them to me.

"Don't worry."

"It's nothing I can't fix."
