Chapter 238 Curtis' lips subtly shifted left, pressing gently against hers, soft and tender.

His breath hitched for a moment, wanting to deepen the kiss, but Leanne, with her palm against his cheek, pushed him aside.

She wriggled out from his grasp and dashed out the door.

Curtis didn't stop her.

Once outside, she switched from running to walking to avoid drawing attention, adopting the composed demeanor of a doctor.

With her hands tucked into the pockets of her coat, she greeted familiar colleagues nonchalantly.

One colleague pulled Leanne aside, asking if she had heard about someone sponsoring Jada's treatment.

Watching her, Curtis felt a ticklish sensation in his heart, imagining pulling her into à secluded stairwell to kiss her breathless.

To kiss her until her stubbornness melted away, leaving her nestled in his arms, gazing up at him with eyes misty and soft, no longer looking at him with defiance.

Leaning lazily against the wall, he called out to her with a tender "Babe." She didn't seem to hear him, continuing her conversation without a glance in his direction, though her ears grew redder.

Curtis chuckled. She was just too darn cute.

After finishing her afternoon consultations, Leanne found Joy squatting by her office door, engrossed in her phone, waiting to grab dinner together.

"Why squat there like a beggar when there are chairs?" Leanne teased.

"These chairs are a pain. I've lost weight recently," Joy retorted, lifting her jacket to show off, "Feel this, I've actually got abs now." Without hesitation, Leanne's cool hand slipped in, and Joy jumped. "Did you just attach that hand from the fridge? It's freezing." Leanne smiled, her eyes curving, “Just washed them.” On their way to dinner, Joy commented, "You've been in a great mood these days. Hit the jackpot without telling me?" Leanne shared how Curtis had helped fund Belinda and Jada's needs.

"Curtis doing good deeds?" Joy was skeptical, “Did his conscience finally kick in, realizing 1/2 12:04 Chapter 238 his sins? Why not just give the money to me." Leanne struggled to explain the recent events.

"Actually, he..." Joy interrupted, "What, he's got his eye on sdoctor at your hospital?" Well, that wasn't entirely wrong.

"Is Jada's doctor a knockout?" "A man, fifty years old," Leanne replied.

Joy kept guessing, "Then her mom's doctor..." Leanne turned to her, throwing her a wordless look.

Joy realized, "That's you, isn't it?" Her brows furrowed in annoyance, and after a moment of silence, she smacked the steering wheel.

"knew it. You two have been sneaking around behind my back.

It wasn't like she was oblivious to Curtis' odd behavior lately.

The man who used to visit the country once every six months was now finding every excuse to be near Leanne.

That night at the bar, the tension between him and Jeremy was palpably territorial.

To put it mildly, Joy's disdain for Curtis was partly defensive.

She knew all too well how persuasive he could be, apart from Leanne, she might be the most aware of his charm.

She had seen firsthand how quickly Leanne had fallen for himpost-marriage, and then how hard the fallout was.

Leanne was cautious by nature, maintaining a strong sense ofpersonal space even with friends. It took years for Joy to move from being a good friend to an inseparable one. Selina often envied her, wondering why she wasn't as close to Leanne.

Joy's advice was always the same, "Just wait it out. It takes years tõiget to where we are. How dangerous was Curtis? In just a few months, he had Leanne confessing, "Joy, I think I'm falling for him." In Joy's eyes, he was nothing short of a siren, dangerously alluring.
