Chen Zhao wasn"t sure either . He was pretty strong, but could he really beat this giant, stocky woman?

Morgery was huge but Gaia pinned him to the car, immobilizing him .

Gaia hooked her fingers at Chen Zhao . “Come . ”

“Chen, you"re not her match . Leave . ”

“Morgery, don"t underestimate me!” Chen Zhao had already charged and punched toward Gaia .

The woman dodged his fist easily . She raised her leg and kicked Chen Zhao precisely in the stomach . Immense pain seized him and Chen Zhao was kneeling on the ground .

He"d really overestimated himself . He may have drunk the strengthening potion, but he was nothing more than a strong doctor . He"d thought that he was awesome, but then Gaia showed him back to his place .

He heard wind in his ears .

Gaia"s leg was sweeping toward his face . Chen Zhao hurriedly raised his arms to protect his head .

Boom—

The heavy sweep made Chen Zhao"s ears ring . His head felt heavy too .

Morgery yelled and broke free from his restraint to grab Gaia from behind . “Chen, go!”

Go? He"d been embarra.s.sed by this woman so badly . Chen Zhao was going to be a despicable man today!

He shot up and yelled, “Grab on tight!”

With that, he raised his leg to kick Gaia, but the woman reacted quickly . With an over-the-shoulder throw, she blocked herself with Morgery .

“Ah…”

Chen Zhao"s kick wasn"t weak . Morgery couldn"t even stand up after that .

“Chen, I told you to run,” Morgery cursed . “Are you stupid?”

Chen Zhao finally realized that he couldn"t beat this woman . Gaia strode forward, forcing Chen Zhao to put up a boxing pose . But then his vision blurred and another punch landed on his face .

He shook his head . Before he could recover, he was. .h.i.t again .

“If you keep hitting me, I"ll show you! Ah…”

Another punch .

Crack!

There was a sudden gunshot .

The boss held a gun in the distance . The muzzle was pointed at Gaia .

“Gaia, I don"t want to deal with you, due to our past . Don"t let me see you again . ”

Gaia stared at him coldly and turned away . Chen Zhao didn"t know what business they had with each other, but there seemed to be a story . It wasn"t the time to worry about it though . Chen Zhao wasn"t in the mood .

His entire body was in pain, especially his face .

Looking at Gaia who"d walked into the distance, Chen Zhao went to help Morgery up .

“Morgery, you okay?”

“I think you broke my back . ”

Chen Zhao touched his back . “No, it"s just dislocated . I"ll help you put it back . ”

The boss, Nesta, and Sanders walked over . “You two alright?”

“Yes . ” Morgery"s cold expression was back as he shook his head .

“Sanders, drive your bike and take Chen away,” the boss said .

They clearly didn"t want to talk about this . Chen Zhao didn"t want to ask either .

Only Chen Zhao could fit on Sanders" bike, but Beelzebub and Carrie could squeeze in the front . After a b.u.mpy ride, Sanders brought Chen Zhao to the train station .

“Chen, is your face okay?” Sanders stared at the bruised Chen Zhao . Due to his ident.i.ty, he didn"t take off his helmet .

“I"m fine . ”

“You"re really strong . The last time I was beaten up by that woman, I couldn"t walk for three days . ”

“I"ll just take it as a compliment . ” Chen Zhao stuffed his helmet into Sanders" arms . “I"m leaving . You should go back too . ”

After getting beaten up for no reason, Chen Zhao was extremely p.i.s.sed . He applied ointment onto his face, but the bruising didn"t fade .

He bought a train ticket—

On the train, Chen Zhao sat across from a s.e.xy girl who looked to be around 20 years old . She wore a black jacket with a white tank top . With her long brown hair and light lipstick, she looked fas.h.i.+onable and s.e.xy .

Chen Zhao covered his face . His current appearance was going to affect his flirting success rate .

“You get beaten up?” the s.e.xy girl asked .

“I fell,” Chen Zhao lied through his teeth .

“I have some ointment and bandages . Do you need them?”

“No, I already applied some . ” Chen Zhao looked at her . “A regular girl won"t bring ointment around, would they?”

“I"m a medical intern . ”

“I"m Chen Zhao . Can I know your name?”

“Eveleigh Model . ” She reached out and touched the bruise on Chen Zhao"s face . “It must hurt . ”

Chen Zhao grasped Eveleigh"s gentle hand and took it down . Her hand was delicate and soft, but Chen Zhao didn"t like having unfamiliar men and women touching him—especially his face .

“I"m a doctor too . I don"t need someone else diagnosing me . ”

“Whoever hit you did it hard,” Eveleigh said .

“I told you . I fell,” Chen Zhao repeated .

“Okay, so you fell . ” She clearly didn"t believe him .

Chen Zhao was embarra.s.sed . His injuries couldn"t fool a fellow doctor, even if she was only an intern…

“Do you live in L . A?” Chen Zhao could only change the topic .

“No, but my college is in L . A . My hospital is there too . ” Eveleigh glanced at him . “Which hospital do you work at? Or a private clinic?”

Chen Zhao chuckled but didn"t reply .

“You"re an illegal doctor?” Eveleigh suddenly realized something .

Chen Zhao looked at himself . “Is it obvious?”

“You brought you medical kit, so you must"ve gone to treat someone . If you"re from a private clinic, you won"t go to another city, unless it"s a special patient . Plus, you have injuries on your face . I can"t imagine what kind of patient would beat up a legitimate doctor . ”

“By the way, I fell… And I could"ve gotten beaten up by a gangster . It doesn"t have to be my patient . ”

“It doesn"t matter . I"m right, aren"t I?”

Chen Zhao pursed his lips . “I guess . ”

“Why don"t you go get a license?”

“I can"t,” Chen Zhao answered honestly .

He was a foreigner . If he wanted to get a license, he couldn"t do anything else . It would take at least half a year to familiarize himself with American laws and medical practices . He"d also have to read a lot of medical books .

Plus, with his history in China, he might not even get a license after half a year of hard work .

When he"d first came to America, he indeed thought about testing for a license . However, after he got his current job and started accepting and becoming familiar with it, he realized that he no longer wanted a license .

“A doctor without a license can only kill their patients . ”

“I haven"t killed any of my patients yet . ”

“That"s only for now . ”
