A Night with Her Cruel Mate

Nelson watched Julia walk away. It was a mere coincidence that this hospital belonged to the Xu family. He hadn't expected to see her in the hospital while he was on tour.

"Dr. Zhang." Nelson beckoned to a doctor. "Help me figure out what's wrong with Julia Gu and why she was here."

As soon as he skimmed Julia's report, Nelson realized it would not be as simple as she had made it seem. It seemed as if Terence had caused her great suffering.

Closing the file, he said, "I see. Thank you." Nelson handed the file back to Dr. Zhang and walked out.

On exiting the hospital, he took out his phone and dialed Terence's number. As soon as the latter picked up, Nelson asked, "Where are you?"

Terence had received a call from Jean and was on his way to pick her up when Nelson's call came in. "I have a personal matter to attend to. What's up?"

"I was at the hospital for an inspection today. Guess who I ran into?" Nelson asked.

When Terence did not respond, Nelson realized his friend was not in the mood to play games. "I met Julia," he stated.

Terence's body tensed up. He clenched his fists tightly and felt a flicker of annoyance at even discussing Julia.

Pretending to be nonchalant, he asked, "Why was she at the hospital? Shooting for a film, perhaps?"

On the other end of the phone, Nelson grinned. He knew Terence was anxious to know even though he was not letting it show.

"She was here to see a doctor," Nelson replied coolly.
