Chapter 4 This Is Your Boyfriend, Right?

Amelia set her bag down and looked at him. "What are you doing here at the hospital? Are you feeling okay?"

Daniel shook his head. "Nope, I'm fine. I just got back and you were the first person I wanted to see! To see if our little crybaby still loves to cry!"

Amelia blushed. The Vanderbilts and the Davises were neighbors, and she and Daniel had grown up together. Their bond was something special.

When Daniel left for abroad, she cried her eyes out, and her family teased her for days.

Back then, she hadn't met Frederick yet.

Daniel asked, "By the way, I need a check-up. Can you write me an order?"

Amelia nodded, took off her coat, hung it on the rack, and put on her white lab coat and glasses.

Daniel watched her silently, feeling like she had changed a lot.

She spoke less, her eyes had lost their sparkle, and she seemed distant.

What had his little girl been through?

Seeing her go to pour him some water, he quickly stepped forward and took the cup from her. "I got it. You go write the order!"

Amelia turned absentmindedly and stepped on a pen on the floor, losing her balance and almost falling.

Daniel quickly caught her by the waist. "What are you thinking about, being so absentminded?"

Outside the office, Frederick saw Daniel's hand on her waist, his eyes darkening, but he didn't push the door open.

Instead, Amber, standing next to him, pushed the door open and saw the two of them in an embrace. She immediately covered her face, embarrassed. "I'm sorry! I saw the door wasn't closed properly and came in. I hope I'm not interrupting!"

Amelia glanced at Frederick, but his eyes never lingered on her for even a second. He only looked at Amber with tenderness.

She smiled bitterly to herself. What was she still hoping for?

Amelia said, "Ms. Roberts, is there something you need?"

Amber lowered her hands and smiled at Amelia. "So you're Dr. Davis! We met yesterday, remember? Is this your boyfriend? You two are so sweet, even kissing in the office!"

Amelia handed a form to Daniel. "You go get your check-up. I'll handle this."

Daniel nodded. "I'll come find you later. You take care."

Amber quickly handed over her test results. "Dr. Adams from OB-GYN told me to come find you!"

Amelia frowned. Why had Nicole sent her over?

She looked at the test results and her expression changed immediately.

Amber panicked. "Doctor, what's wrong with me?"

Amelia said seriously, "You're not pregnant. You have an ovarian tumor and need surgery as soon as possible."

Amber turned pale, collapsing into Frederick's arms like a fragile butterfly. "How could this happen? I..."

Frederick patted her shoulder, comforting her gently. "Medicine's come a long way. It's just a minor surgery. Don't worry, I'll be right here with you."

Amelia's hand trembled slightly as she wrote the order. When had he ever spoken to her so gently?

After finishing the order, she handed it over. "After the check-up, bring the form back. Someone will arrange the surgery."

With that, she hurried out of the office.

She had two surgeries today and didn't know when she'd be done.

At five in the afternoon, the operating room door finally opened. Amelia wiped the sweat from her forehead. Work really could make one forget everything.

But being pregnant made her body weak. She felt her hands and feet go numb.

Just as she was about to get something to eat, the head of her department came running over. "Dr. Davis, you're finally out. There's another surgery waiting for you!"

Amelia frowned. "I've already finished my surgeries for today!"

The head of her department said, "I know. But Mr. Hastings specifically requested you to do Ms. Roberts' surgery!"

Amelia felt a surge of anger that she couldn't release.

She had studied medicine because she knew Frederick had stomach problems and wanted to help him, not to perform surgery on his first love!

Wasn't he afraid she'd mess up on purpose?

Without a word, she turned and walked away.

The head of the department quickly followed. "Our hospital has a lot of equipment donated by the Hastings family. Please, just help me out and take on this extra surgery!"

Amelia's voice was cold. "I won't do her surgery!"

As soon as she said that, Amber, who had just arrived, froze, looking at her with tearful eyes. "Dr. Davis, why?"

Amelia glanced at Frederick and said calmly, "I've already done two surgeries today. I'm not in the best condition. You can arrange for another capable doctor to do it, like him."

She pointed to the head of the department.

The head of the department immediately stepped forward, ready to seize the opportunity to serve Mr. Hastings.

Frederick walked over, staring at Amelia. "We can wait until tomorrow. Dr. Davis can do the surgery after she's rested. Postpone the other surgeries."

The head of the department looked at the two of them, sensing something was off.

But he quickly said, "Sure. Dr. Davis, I'll take over your surgeries tomorrow."

Amelia's eyes turned cold. "You're really willing to entrust her to me? I'm not in a good mental state lately. If something goes wrong, don't say I didn't warn you! After all, medical accidents are unpredictable!"

The head of the department's heart skipped a beat. When had the usually gentle Amelia become so sharp-tongued?

These two must have some kind of grudge!
