Chapter 565
He looked just like a completely normal guy to her. He seemed healthy, and he was very smart. In fact, he was renowned as one of the hottest guys on campus!
Roger never talked to anyone about his illness precisely because he hated this look people would give him.
“I guess you’ll finally stop pestering me now that you know I’m ill,” he said irritably.
“What?” Riley was stupefied. She simply couldn’t find any sense in his words. “Why would I stop pursuing you after I find out you’re sick?”
“I’m starting to wonder if it’s me or you who’s ill here!” snapped Roger. “I’m not a normal healthy man! There must be something wrong with your head if you’re going to pursue someone like me!”
“Don’t ever say that!” Riley snapped, the stress in her voice clearly audible. “I like you in your entirety! What does it have to do with you being sick?”
“You…” Roger was speechless for a while, but then he looked away and added, “Whatever. It’s none of my business anyway.”
Stella laughed as she saw that his ears had turned red, but she said nothing.
“It’s getting late,” she reminded Roger. “Let’s hurry up and get to
the hospital, okay?”
“What?” Roger sprang up to his feet. “Are we still going? I told you, Sis, I’m fine!”
“That’s not for you to say,” she argued. “It’s for the doctor to
say.”
“But the doctor did say that! I really did go to the hospital last night! Just ask Riley if you don’t believe me!”
Roger glanced at Riley so she would back him up, but Riley hesitated, not knowing how to react. Although they really did go to the hospital together last night, she didn’t hear the doctor saying that he was fine.
Stella immediately understood what was going on when she saw Riley’s reaction,
Riley didn’t know how close the two siblings were, so she just sighed. “It’s totally normal for Sis to worry about you since you’ve got a condition. Why don’t you just go with her and put her at ease?”
“Don’t call her Sis!” he glared at her. “She’s my sister, not yours!”
He then turned on his heels and left the cafe. Riley scampered
after him, trying to keep up.
“Wait for me, Robb!”
Now that Stella and Roger had changed their identities, all their old medical records had also been wiped out. But even without previous records, the doctor’s comprehensive understanding of Roger’s condition remained unchanged.
“You again?” the doctor asked, squinting at Roger. “Weren’t you here yesterday? What are you doing here today? Are you feeling unwell?”
“Doctor,” Stella began in a serious tone, “I’d like to consult your expert opinion. My brother had a major operation before. Will he really be fine after drinking so much last night?”
