"That's quite a good idea, before she flies away again without any warning," Xavier said, seriously considering Bodgit’s suggestion.

On second thought, Xavier found it hilarious and couldn’t hold back a chuckle.

Xavier shot Tyler a flat look. “I think you’ve really lost your mind.”

He knew clearly, when others didn’t, that this lady was Tyler’s medicine. Claiming that she sang badly was just an excuse.

Xavier looked at Tyler’s towering back and lamented at how incredible destiny could be. A man so favored by the heavens with no lack of women, yet so besotted with a single woman for over twenty years.

This fool also refused to tell that woman his love for her.

Xavier wished he could pry open Tyler’s mouth and force him to speak. If Tyler refused to confess his feelings this time, Xavier was sure Tyler would miss the boat forever.

Rachel could tell from the look on Xavier’s face that he was upset. She, of all people, knew how infuriating Tyler could be with his words.

She turned around and whispered to him, “Tyler, can’t you be nicer? Your words are sometimes way too cutting, you know?”

Rachel thought back on how Tyler talked to her, although there was a slim chance that she was the only one he spoke to in that way.

Tyler looked down at her and suddenly chuckled.

“How should I put it, then? Like this?”

He then approached Xavier, patted him gently on the shoulder, and said softly, “Dr. Jenkins, could you please send my girlfriend for an X–ray, and not roll up the hem of her clothes however you please? Otherwise, I might just sue you.”

Before Rachel could say anything further, Xavier’s entire body shook. He rubbed his arms to smooth out the goosebumps that rose.

“I’d rather you talk normally. Your tone just gave me goosebumps! Xavier could feel a strange chill down his spine.

Rachel couldn’t take it, either. Tyler’s tone sounded more like a warning of him settling scores at a later date.

Tyler turned to look at Rachel. “Well, Ms. Lloyd. What do you think?”

Rachel felt exceedingly uncomfortable at the overly tender look in his eyes and admitted defeat at once. “I admit I spoke too loudly earlier.”

Tyler was a thousand times better the way he was previously. At the very least, it didn’t make others feel awkward.

Xavier brought them to the door of the radiology room and said to Rachel, “Head right in. I’ve given the radiologist inside a heads up.”

“Thank you, Dr. Jenkins.”

With that, Rachel walked straight into the room.

Tyler and Xavier waited at the door, the latter casting a glance at the former who was standing ramrod straight.

“Now that we’re alone, you’d better come clean. How did that back injury come about? Did you lose control over yourself again? I can understand that you’ve been single for so many years and now, all of a sudden, you’re with the woman you love…but you can’t behave so violently.”

Tyler pulled out a cigarette from his pocket and put it between his lips. He tilted his head and lit it up as he looked at Xavier with furrowed brows.

“What in the world are you talking about? How can you even call yourself a doctor? Could a wound like that be caused that way?”

In response, Xavier shot Tyler a smug look.

“Why, I heard that someone brought his girlfriend to the gynecology department of our hospital just a couple of days ago. I heard it was rather serious.”
