Kneeling for a Second 103

Chapter 103 

Sebastian sent, “If you block me, I’ll make sure to tell anyone who asks about it tomorrow that you bit me.” 

Valeria muted his messages and tossed the phone aside. 

After ten minutes, Valeria felt like her sleepiness was completely gone. So, she picked up her phone and saw that he had sent a few more messages. 

She took a deep breath and replied, “What about you, Mr. Grant? You broke into a woman’s house in the middle of the night with the excuse of being drunk. What exactly were you trying to do?” 

It was midnight in Slate City. 

The car was driving on a wide road. As the car entered the bustling commercial district, the city lights dazzled the eye. 

Sebastian stared at the scenery flashing past the car window. The light flashed on his face as the car drove on. 

Valeria’s question played on Sebastian’s mind. 

What was he trying to do? He definitely had impure intentions. 

When Sebastian went to work at Slate City Medical Center, it seemed like everyone he passed turned to look at him. After he passed, they started to whisper. 

“What’s up with Dr. Grant’s mouth?” 

“That’s a pretty big wound. It looks like a bite mark.” 

“Who else could have bitten him there? It must have been a girlfriend.” 

“Anyone dare to go ask Dr. Grant about it?” 

“I wouldn’t dare to gossip in front of him. I heard that…‘ 

“Hey, keep it down. Look, Ruby’s expression looks horrible.” 

The group caught sight of Ruby approaching in a white coat. Her expression was dark as she glared at the nurse who had been gossiping the loudest. “It’s working hours. Maybe focus on your job instead of spreading gossip.” 

Clenching her fists, Ruby waited two hours outside the operating room until Sebastian finally emerged. 

Sebastian had changed and removed his mask. He saw Ruby by the door and stepped aside to

walk past her, but Ruby raised a hand to block him. “Sebastian, are you free right now? Can we talk?” 

“I’m busy.” Sebastian was actually not free at that moment. He still had to head to Shawn’s 

office. 

“I know you’ve broken up with Sabrina, and I know you don’t like women like her.” Ruby’s cheeks suddenly flushed red. “My dad is coming back from Amaran this weekend. He really wants to go to your place and visit your parents.” 

Sebastian frowned as he looked at her flushed face. He had no idea why she was blushing, and more importantly, where had she heard that he and Sabrina had broken up? 

Were they ever even together? Were they even living in the same country? Why did it feel like they were speaking in different languages? 

How did the meaning of having a meal arranged by their families equate to them being in a relationship? Even during Martha’s era, things weren’t that casual. 

“Ruby,” Sebastian said calmly with his frown still on his face. “If you like dining at the Grant 

residence, 

, go ahead. No one’s stopping you. If you like our family chef so much, I can call the housekeeper and arrange for him to start working at your place tomorrow.” 

Ruby was unwilling to give up. At this close distance, she could clearly see the wound at the corner of his mouth. 

A woman had definitely bitten him, and it was a vicious bite at that. The wound had already 

scabbed over. 

“Sebastian…” Ruby tried to say something. 

“Don’t waste your energy on me. I’m not interested in you. This is a hospital, I don’t have time for personal matters right now. Dr. Gardner, until next time.” 

Then, Sebastian quickly walked away. 

He pushed open the door to Shawn’s office. Inside were four people–Shawn and his two assistants, as well as a young doctor from Shawn’s cardiothoracic team, Jamie York. Their attention was immediately focused on Sebastian’s lips. 

Shawn adjusted his glasses as his eyes gleamed with curiosity. 

In fact, before Sebastian even stepped in, the office had been buzzing with talk about that bite mark for quite a while. 

Sitting down in front of the computer, Sebastian could feel all their eyes still on him. He let out a short, helpless laugh. 

Did they really have to stare like that just because he got bitten once? 

Chapter Tod 

Valeria had definitely bitten him hard. That morning, he even had to drink his water through a 

straw. 

Thankfully, he hadn’t been back at the Grant residence. Otherwise, Martha’s eyes would have widened so much that they might have popped out of their sockets.
