Chapter 19 Her Old Acquaintance 

The nurse was filled with fear, pleading. “Please, I beg you, don’t tell Dr. Lynn. I don’t want to lose my job. How about I peel an apple for you again?” 

“Get the hell out of here!” Arthur sneered. “She doesn’t deserve to feed me even if she peels an apple for me herself. No one here is qualified to serve me. 

The door was then suddenly slammed open, and Celia walked right in.  Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FɪndNøvel.ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Seeing Celia, the nurse couldn’t hold back her tears any longer. She quickly approached Celia and said, “Dr. Lynn, I really did my best, but this patient kept speaking ill of you.” 

The nurse spoke in a very soft voice. She only wanted Celia to hear it, but Arthur did too. 

with that? You weren’t even out of 

He sneered, “What’s wrong medical school when she first started washing my feet. She tried so hard to save my life because she didn’t want me to die. 

The nurse looked at Celia with a pale face and asked, “Dr. Lynn, is he really…” “You’re right. She’s always wanted to please me,” Arthur interjected directly. The nurse had a disappointed expression on her face. 

The fact that Celia, the role model she admired, had degraded herself and sought approval from others was now confirmed to be depressing to her. She had a hard time accepting the discrepancy between her perception of Celia and the truth: 

Instead of denying it, Celia said calmly, “You can leave now. I’ll take care of things here.” 

“But… but…” The nurse struggled to find a solution, torn between wanting to leave and fearing the consequences of doing so. “I’m still an intern. If he is unsatisfied with my work, I may not be able to secure a permanent position.” She glanced at the middle–aged man lying in the hospital bed, feeling trapped in a dilemma. However, Arthur remained unmoved, his smirk cold and calculated. “With your level of skill, do you honestly believe you’re qualified to work here?” 

The nurse could no longer hold back her despair. 

Celia shut the door and noticed the neatly peeled apple on the floor, which

Arthur had discarded. He was clearly causing trouble for the young nurse on purpose. 

“She was assigned by the hospital to take care of you, not by me. Plus, she’s extremely responsible,” Celia said coldly. 

Arthur lay on the bed, still weak from surgery and unable to move around much, but with a mocking smirk. “Are you seriously expecting me to take your word for it? You can’t stop me with big traps, only little ones. Do not think I won’t have a plan if you try to trick me.” 

Celia couldn’t help but laugh after hearing his words. “Do you think I’m afraid of you?” 

Arthur smirked confidently as he responded, “It’s only natural for you to be afraid of me. After all, I have a close relationship with Dominic. You perform surgeries with such precision because you fear that I might die, isn’t that right? Well, if that’s the case, don’t even dream of getting close to Dominic, let alone coming back to the Dawson family!” 

Celia raised an eyebrow, expressing her skepticism, “Did I ever mention that I wanted to return to the Dawson family?” 

“Isn’t it obvious?” Arthur sneered, not buying her denial. “Don’t play ignorant in front of me. You’ve been hanging onto Dominic all this time just to become his wife, haven’t you? You succeeded once, only to be cast aside. How could you not want to go back?” 

Celia was so impressed by his creativity that she clapped her hands. “You make an excellent point.“. 

Arthur’s words were something she hadn’t even considered herself. 

Her opinion of Dominic was slightly diminished. 

Dominic’s favoritism of Arthur, once her greatest enemy, and his subsequent consolidation of power within the Dawson family was a constant source of frustration for her. 

The more she thought about the past, the more her anger flared up. 

They hadn’t seen each other in six years, and although he owed his life to her, Arthur still managed to annoy her. 

Arthur coughed a few times, a cunning glint in his eyes, as he remarked, “Of course, I’m fully aware that you now have no choice but to please me.”

Are you saying that I have to try to make you happy? Cdia asked disdainfully,

“Yes, and I want you to peed it for me. If you don’t do it properly, you wouldn’t want to know the consequences, Arthur sneered, looking at her smugly.

The young nurse cowered in silence for fear of making a sound, but her eyes betrayed her disappointment. 

Arthur gloated when he saw her reaction, “All the doctors are all the same. She’s so pathetic because she’s always thinking about men. As you can see, I have complete control over her. Looks how inferior she is.” 

The young nurse objected, “That’s not possible, Dr. Lynn would never be that kind of person…” but her voice wavered with doubt. 

Celia quickly finished peeling the apple, leaving only a perfect strip of skin. 

Directly this time, Arthur aid, “Give it to me,” indicating his apparent. satisfaction. 

“Here, take it and eat,” she demanded, throwing the strip of apple peel directly onto Arthur’s face. 

She then commanded, “Eat it!”

The young nurse objected, “That’s not possible, Dr. Lynn would never be that kind of person…” but her voice wavered with doubt.

“Here, take it and eat,” she demanded, throwing the strip of apple peel directly onto Arthur’s face. 

She then commanded, “Eat it!” 

Celia then picked up the apple calmly and began biting into it herself. She liked 

how tasty it was. 

The apple peel covered Arthur’s eyes, and he was furious when he saw what she had done. “Celia, how dare you throw that apple peel at me!” 

Celia gave him a scolding glare as if he were an idiot. “Weren’t you the one who wanted to eat the peel? Even though the nurse did a great job of peeling it, you. still didn’t eat it. I thought she gave you the wrong thing. Besides, all that’s left now is the apple.” 

Arthur was fuming with rage. “Don’t try to fool mel Celia, you’re doomed!” 

Celia sneered. “I think it’s you who is doomed.” 

“You picked on me six years ago, and I ignored it. But that doesn’t give you the right to continue bullying me. You’re a patient, so that’s the only reason I helped you. I can guarantee your death in a thousand ways if you desire. 

“How dare you threaten me? Who do you think you are? I’ll tell Dominic the next time I see him, “Arthur retorted angrily. 

Ignoring his words, Celia finished the last bite of the apple and then threw the core at his face. The sweet apple core wasn’t the only thing that landed on his face with a thud since there was also a trash bag. 

With a gentle motion, Celia threw the trash bag on his face with a smile playing on her lips. “Say whatever you want, it doesn’t bother me,” she replied, dismissing 

his words. 

She then walked out of the room with the nurse, who was clearly shaken by what she had just witnessed. 

Celia wasn’t exactly at peace with herself. “Why does he hold himself in such. high regard? Even though I pretend to be easily bullied, does he truly believe I’m. 

pushover?” she pondered silently. 

Regardless of whether she sought revenge or not, Celia knew there were numerous ways to deal with someone like Arthur. Unexpectedly, as she opened the door, her eyes widened in surprise upon seeing Dominic standing before her. 

“You…” Celia couldn’t believe that she ran into him again..
