The Billionaire's Regret: His Secret Wife Turned Medical Genius Novel

Chapter 27 Another Man The medical kit was the only kit available in the apartment , which Emily had packed just to deal with altitude sickness . Gabriel didn't say a word , which meant his silence was approval . Before leaving , Amelia looked back and gave Emily a triumphant smile . When the sound of the car engine came from outside , Emily walked to the door and was ready to lock it when a large hand pushed it open from the other side . Gabriel was back . The coldness from the night air clung to him , and his eyes were dark , unreadable under the light .

The frustration Emily had been holding in finally erupted . " What are you doing back here ? " she snapped . Instead of answering , he slammed the door shut behind him and stepped closer , his tall frame looming over her . The oppressive pressure rolling off him forced her backward until her shoulder blades hit the cold wall , with nowhere left to retreat . The next second , he braced one arm against the fall beside her head and trapped her between his chest and the wall . As he lowered his head , his warm breath brushed against her skin .

Before Emily could speak , his kisses came down hard , forceful and rough . Her mind buzzed before exploding with humiliation and rage . After mustering all the strength she could , she shoved her back and yelled , " Get out ! " Her chest heaved from the cold , and the towel wrapped around her slipped loose , exposing a stretch of pale skin . Gabriel's dark gaze fixed on her and eventually settled on her damp , glistening skin . " Aren't you trying to seduce me by dressing like that ? " His voice was low and edged with mockery . Emily's lips curled into a cold , sarcastic smile .

" You think too highly of yourself , Mr. Holton . You walked in just as I stepped out of the shower , and if it'd been any other man at the door , I'd have looked exactly the same . " Any other man ? The air froze as he leaned in closer toward her , exuding a cold , terrifyingly oppressive presence . " Emily , do you have another man ? " he questioned . Chapter 27 Another Man Emily's heart jumped at the violence in his eyes , but she stubbornly lifted her chin . " You're being unbelievable ! " The fury in Gabriel's eyes seemed ready to consume her as he reached out again to grip her chin .

Just as another brutal kiss was about to land , his phone rang with a call from Amelia . " Gabe , aren't you coming back ? I'm freezing ... ' Her voice spilled through the speaker and doused every flame in his eyes like a bucket of ice water . It snapped Emily awake as well . Upon noticing his stiffened posture , she let out a scornful laugh . " Aren't you going to check on your precious darling ? Any later , and she might freeze . " Gabriel's expression was terrifyingly dark . He stared at her long and hard , as if to see through her . At last , he let her go , turned , and stormed out .

Behind the closed door , Emily listened to the car engine sounds fade away before exhaling in relief . She grabbed everything Amelia had touched - including the cashmere blanket - and stuffed it into a black trash bag , then dragged it down the alley to the trash cans . With no medicine left , she had to drink some honey water . Fortunately , she drank it in time , and her cold symptoms didn't worsen . The next day , she arrived at the medical mission site as usual . As soon as she got there , a nurse rushed over and exclaimed , " Dr. Sterling !

We've got a patient showing signs of acute heart failure ! We urgently need digoxin , but the pharmacy is out ! " Emily's heart jolted . She had a backup vial of digoxin in her medical kit , which Amelia had taken . With a life at stake , she couldn't waste a second . After obtaining Amelia's address from the medical mission coordinator , she rushed over immediately . Amelia came to the door dressed in a silk nightgown and leaned lazily against the doorframe . There was a lazy , smug smile on her face . " What brings you here , Dr. Sterling ? " Emily had no patience for small talk .

Her eyes scanned the room and landed on the medical kit on the couch . " I'm here to take back what's mine . "
