Chapter 103 Roses in Ruins Sir , your flowers are ready A bouquet of exactly ninety nine fresh , vibrant red roses was handed to Jeffrey .
Jeffrey speechless .
Even though he wasnt exactly a flower expert , he knew what red roses symbolized .
Giving them to Lauren , who was still recovering in the hospital , clearly didnt seem appropriate .
Finished He considered refusing the bouquet , but with so many people watching , he couldnt bring himself to back out , not as Jeffrey , a prominent doctor at Skyline Medical Center .
That just wasnt his style .
Besides , Lauren wasnt exactly the romantic type .
Odds were , she wouldnt even realize what red roses meant .
With that thought , Jeffrey silently accepted the flowers .
The clerk winked at him and said Good luck ! Im rooting for you ! … Jeffrey speechless .
He glanced at the girl who had been about to ask for his number .
Seeing that massive bouquet of red roses , she instantly realized he must have a girlfriend .
Her face flushed red , and she awkwardly turned and left .
Jeffrey casually pulled some cash from his wallet and handed it to the clerk , not even bothering to wait for change .
The clerk accepted the money with a big smile .
Have a great day , sir ! Jeffrey carried the bouquet back to his car , placing it on the passenger seat .
He started the engine and continued driving toward Westhaven Medical Center .
On the way , Jeffrey couldnt help but glance at the bouquet , imagining Laqurens tearful , grateful reaction upon seeing such a large bundle of fresh flowers .
The corners of his lips curled up slightly .
Westhaven Medical Center .
Although Jeffrey didnt work there , he often visited for academic exchanges .
Thanks to his good looks , most of the medical staff recognized him .
Seeing him walk in with that massive bouquet of bright red roses , several staff members immediately exchanged gossiping glances , their eyes filled with curiosity and amusement .
Mr.
Jeffrey , are those for a patient ? a nurse teased .
Jeffrey smiled faintly .
Yeah , a patient .
A very troubled patient .
He walked over to the nurses station and casually asked .
Excuse me , is there a patient named Lauren staying here ? 1/3 Chapter 103 Roses in Ruins The nurse paused for a moment , then nodded .
Oh , Lauren ? Shes in Room 312 on the third floor .
Finished It was no surprise the nurse remembered Lauren so well , her husband was just too handsome , even more so than Mr.
Jeffrey But still … Mr.
Jeffrey , walking in with such a huge bouquet of red roses to visit someone elses wife , isnt that a bit inappropriate ? Jeffrey couldnt care less about the strange looks .
After thanking the nurse , he strode confidently toward Laurens ward .
He had expected to see Lauren lying weakly in bed , but the ward was completely empty , not a soul in sight .
Jeffreys heart sank .
Had Lauren already left ? Just as he was wondering , he heard the sound of a toilet flushing from the bathroom .
The next second , Lauren emerged , dressed in a hospital gown .
When Lauren unexpectedly saw Jeffrey , her mind went completely blank .
By the time she snapped out of it , her already pale face had turned even more bloodless .
How did Jeffrey find her here ? Did that mean the Bennett family knew her whereabouts tool A chill ran down her spine , freezing her to the core .
Without a second thought , she turned and bolted .
Seeing her run , Jeffrey tossed the bouquet of roses onto the bed , took two quick strides , and grabbed Laurens wrist , forcefully pulling her back .
What are you running for ? Do you think Im going to eat you ? Laurens eyes widened in panic as she struggled desperately , but she couldnt break free .
Her gaze was filled with fear .
What do you want ? Did the Bennett family send you ? Just the thought of being dragged back , framed once again by that family without question , made her whole body tremble uncontrollably .
Jeffrey sighed in frustration .
He let go of her wrist and said .
I just came to check on you .
Dont assume the worst about me .
Check on me ? Lauren sneered .
Youre all the same , you all want to hurt me ! Being misunderstood like this made Jeffrey feel both annoyed and wronged .
His temper flared instantly , Grabbing the bouquet of red roses from the bed , he shoved it into Laurens arms and snapped , If I wanted to hurt , would I bother buying flowers first ? Youre just like a dog biting the hand that feeds you ! Lauren was startled by the sudden bouquet .
The ninety nine roses were heavy , and when they landed in her arms , they hit her chest so hard that it hurt .
Tears welled up and rolled down her face before she could .
ston them .
2/3 Chapter 103 Roses in Ruins This left Jeffrey completely flustered .
Finished Hey , what are you crying for ? he said irritably , his voice laced with frustration .
You dont like red roses ? Just say so ! Whats the point of crying ? He had never been in such an awkward situation before His first time giving someone flowers , and it ended with her crying because she didnt like them .
Stop crying , its driving me crazy .
Just tell me what you like , and Ill get it for you ! Ahhhhhh ….
