It could be seen that Deloris was quite agile.
He dodged Bentley's fist nimbly.
After one punch, Bentley and Deloris retreated to opposite sides simultaneously, looking at each other.
Bentley stood there with a cold face and a pair of deep eyes. He knew that Deloris didn't want to fight with him. Otherwise, he wouldn't dodge his fist. Deloris was not a man who would beat a retreat in the face of difficulties. He would catch the opponent's fist instead of avoiding it.
These were two completely different ways of worldly wisdom.
Deloris obviously chose the former.
"Stay away from her." After saying this, Bentley held Caroline in his arms and prepared to leave.
When he was about to get out the door, there was a warning behind him. "You are my most valued rival. I advise you to make your feelings clear early." He might regret it in the end, just like Deloris.
Deloris fluttered his eyelashes, covering up a faint gloom in his eyes.
At the door, Bentley said with an expressionless face, "My business has nothing to do with you."
Deloris was not a nosy person. He didn't want to say anything more. Out of the corner of his eye, he swept the woman and his heart was softened. "Bentley, you are in love with her."
Bentley felt his words were ridiculous.
He smiled, drooping his eyes at the woman in his arms. How could he fall in love with her?
Deloris also saw Bentley's indifference. He chuckled. Why did he become a saint who kindly reminded his opponent not to make mistakes emotionally?
"Let me give you my last advice. Don't mention 'locking her up' in front of this woman again."
Bentley's long legs paused when he went out. The next second, he stepped out of the private room and walked straight towards the elevator.
After adjusting his golden eyeglass frame and patting the hem of the suit, Deloris followed Bentley calmly and went out of the private room as well.
The elevator stopped on the 28th floor.
As soon as the door was opened, Bentley quickly put the woman in his arms on the soft bed in the bedroom. Then he took out his phone and dialed a number. "Come to Royal Club, the 28th floor. A woman is fainting."
After speaking concisely, Bentley hung up the phone.
At the other end of the phone, Anderson was stunned. After a while, it dawned on him. "A woman?"
Bentley took a woman to the 28th floor again?
Rather than being in a hurry to save people, Anderson wanted to see what happened. He took off the doctor's gown and grabbed his coat aside. Taking the car key, he rushed out of the office in haste.
"Dr. Gunner, where are you going in such a hurry?"
"To see a woman."
Anderson went to the parking lot at a high speed all the way and called Spencer with bad intentions. "Something rare happened. Do you want to go with me?"
"I'm busy." Spencer refused without thinking about it.
"It's about Bentley."
"Where?" Hearing this, Spencer immediately changed his attitude.
Anderson said in an evil smile. "Royal Club, the 28th floor."
"What the hell's going on? He doesn't allow anyone to go to the 28th floor. I'm not going."
"A woman is fainting."
"Wait, I'm on my way!"
They were very excited. If their parents had seen them, they would have been speechless.
They might not be so positive when being asked to receive dividends at the end of the year.
On the 28th floor of Royal Club, Bentley stood by the bed with hands in his pockets and looked down at the woman on the bed.
He knew that the woman's face was very small, not as big as his palm.
However, when did her face become so gaunt and haggard?
Caroline was once as flamboyant as a red rose. Who was the woman with sunken eyes, pale visage, flaking and dry lips?
Bentley looked at the woman on the bed. Three words "a poor wretch" came to his mind. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
How could he fall in love with a humble and undignified wretch?
How could he fall in love with such a woman?
A touch of mockery appeared at the corners of his mouth. He ignored the idea without precipitating it in the bottom of his heart.
He didn't regard it as right.
At the time, his phone vibrated. He answered it. It turned out that Anderson arrived here.
"Come up here." He said faintly and hung up the phone, walking to the elevator door and pressing a switch.
This elevator could reach the 28th floor where he was located. Anderson couldn't get on without a card, so Bentley needed to press the switch of the elevator entrance.
A moment later, the elevator door opened. Bentley was not surprised that Anderson was not the only one in the elevator.
"Come in."
Glancing at the two people in the elevator, Bentley didn't mean to stop Spencer.
"Where is the woman?"
Being of exaltation, Spencer swept around the place and looked for the target with a pair of eyes like detectors.
"This is Royal Club. If you are looking for a woman, there are many downstairs. Tell Marissa what type of woman you like. She will take one for you." Bentley said slowly.
Spencer stood awkwardly.
Anderson gave Spencer a look, as if asking "Are you an idiot?"
"Bentley, is she the fainting woman that you mentioned?" Following Bentley, Spencer and Anderson went into the bedroom. At first glance, there was a woman lying quietly on the bed. After looking at the woman carefully, they found she was Caroline who was sent to the prison by Bentley.
Spencer was dumbfounded with his eyes widened.
Seeing the woman on the bed, Anderson's eyes became subtle. As his temper was different from that of Spencer, he didn't behave so exaggeratedly.
But similarly, he was as shocked as Spencer when he saw the woman.
"Give her an examination." Bentley said in a low voice.
With doubts from the bottom of his heart, Anderson hurriedly squatted down and examined Caroline.
After feeling her breath and pulse, he reached out to untie the clothes button of Caroline.
The next second, his wrist was grabbed by a hand quickly. At the same time, he heard a voice full of vigilance, "What are you doing?"
Anderson looked at the hand holding his wrist and saw Bentley's cold eyes looking at him coldly. Bentley's countenance made Anderson, the best friend who grew up with him since childhood couldn't help but shivering.
"I should check her cardiopulmonary rhythm."
"Why did you unbutton her clothes?"
Anderson was extremely speechless. How could he auscultate without unbuttoning her clothes?
"I have to auscultate with a stethoscope. This is an essential step in examining her!"
Anderson wanted to roll his eyes at Bentley!
Hearing his explanation, Bentley let go of his hand. Anderson was just about to reach out and continue to unbutton her clothes. He was strongly stopped by one hand. "I'll do it."
Both Anderson and Spencer were wordless.
They looked at each other and saw surprise in their eyes.
"Is this OK?" Bentley suddenly asked Anderson.
Anderson was surprised and answered, "OK, OK."
Looking at the gap untied as wide as a thumb, he put the stethoscope into Caroline's clothes.
"It's nothing serious. She was just overwrought." After the examination, Anderson joked, "Bentley, I think you treat Caroline in a special way."
