The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage

"But what you did is really asking for it." Claude laughed even as shoved his ankle harder on Aaron's leg.

The old man screamed even more loudly and sweated buckets all over his face.

Even so, he showed grit as he never once begged for mercy.

"That's enough!"

Winter had had enough as she looked on, striding into the ICU and glowering as she snapped, "What do you think you're doing here? Is the hospital a place where you bully women?!" "Oh?"

While Claude was surprised by the door suddenly opening, his eyes lit up when he turned and came to his senses.

The girl standing there was wearing a clean white coat over a black shirt and a pair of slim cut pants. Though she appeared angry, her righteous indignation appeared to brighten her expression.

In fact, Claude almost started drooling when he saw Winter-she was no national beauty like Helen and the others, but she was still the most beautiful in her university.

Her face was the type one would not forget, and a pervert like Claude immediately forgot all about Lydia when he saw Winter.

"What are you looking at me for?! Get off the patient right now!" Winter snapped again just then.

She had really shed off her inexperience after taking over as Zamri Hospital's chief for a while, unfazed even as she snapped at the thugs in front of her.

And there were two reasons for that, the first being her personal code as a doctor forbidding her from letting a patient suffer harm.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

The other was her personal bodyguard, who could deal with these thugs if they strayed out of line

"Oh? Hehe..."

However, her warning only gave Claude a different idea.

He could tell from Winter's clothes that she was a doctor here at Zamri Hospital, While he was puzzled as to how someone so young could already become a full-fledged doctor, it did not discourage him.

"You want me to get off this geezer? Easy." Claude chuckled and winked at Winter. "Come out for some drinks with me. Say yes, and I will get off him right now-how about that?"

"I won't go with you." Winter refused

the ominous invitation without hesitation, snapping coldly, "And you should release that patient if you know what's good for you, ofyou'll regret it!"

Claude did not expect that reaction from Winter at all and pursed his lips, presuming that he was being belittled because he did not introduce himself.

"Kid, I am Claude Dresden," he said

smugly. "Don't you know that my brother-in-law is the head of the inpatient department? I don't know what your specialty is, but since you're here, you must be working under Dr. Quaid, right? You'd best do what I tell you if you don't want to lose your job and come with me, or you're fired right now!"

"Dr. Quaid?"

The image of a bespectacled middle-aged man appeared in Winter's mind just then, always smiling and fawning over her.

After all, he used to be one of Dennis Jackson's cronies and was worried about keeping his job after Dennis was removed as chief of hospital.

If anything, the man was simply unlucky for getting caught in this mess.

Claude had no idea how much trouble he had brought upon his brother-in-law's head for name-dropping him just yet.

In fact, he became even more smug when he saw that Winter was quiet, even rearing himself as if lecturing Winter. "See, beautiful?"
