waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

So he didn't care , even if it meant owing a favor . The dizziness from his sleepless night and the anxiety made Bradley unsteady on his feet . He knew he was in no condition to drive . " You guys . " Bradley turned his head toward the interns . Startled at being addressed so suddenly , the young interns jumped and looked over . " Who can drive ? " Two of them shakily raised their hands . Bradley pointed at one of them . " You . Come drive for me . " With that , he rushed out with the young man . The remaining medical students looked at each other , bewildered .

" What kind of patient requires Dr. Kline to go over personally ? " Chapter 282 " Are you an idiot ? It's obviously not a patient . Something must have happened with his family . " In the few minutes it took to get to the underground garage , Roderick had already sent the address . Bradley sat in the passenger seat and told the intern to drive as fast as he could . Luckily , the intern was a decent driver . Though a bit flustered at first , he steadied himself and got Bradley to the front of Charlotte's building in under twenty minutes .

It seemed Charlotte wasn't planning to stay here long - term ; she was in a serviced apartment . Security was tight , and Bradley was stopped when he tried to go inside . " I'm sorry , sir , but you can't go in if you're not a resident here . " " My sister lives here! " " Then you'll need to contact your sister directly . " Bradley almost laughed in frustration . Chapter 282 " If I could reach her , would I be here wasting my time with you ?! " The guard looked troubled and shook his head helplessly . Bradley's eyes were nearly bloodshot , a vein throbbing at his temple .

He turned , pulled out his phone , and called Roderick again , practically growling into the receiver : " I can't get in , Roderick . Find a way to make security let me through ." Roderick clicked his tongue on the other end , his tone turning serious . " Got it , wait a minute . " Just as Bradley was about to lose his patience and try to force his way in . The walkie - talkie on another guard's hip suddenly squawked to life . " Front desk , front desk , a resident has collapsed in the east hallway of Building B , 12th floor ! We need immediate assistance !

Chapter 282 Repeat , there's an emergency in the east hallway of Building B , 12th floor ! " Bradley's heart plummeted , as if an icy hand had squeezed it tight . Building B , 12th floor ! Charlotte's floor ! His face instantly went pale , all his anger and impatience replaced by overwhelming fear . He yelled at the guards , " I'm a doctor , take me there now ! " The security guard looked at him suspiciously . " Sir , can you stand by what you said? " " Yes . " Bradley gritted his teeth , his voice trembling uncontrollably .

The guard saw he wasn't joking , and with a life on the line , he quickly opened the gate . The moment the gate opened , Bradley shot inside like an arrow from a bow . Chapter 282 But it was the morning rush hour , the apartment building was bustling with people , and the elevators were incredibly busy . " Where are the fire stairs ? " " This way ! " Bradley rushed over . At a time like this , taking the stairs would be faster than waiting for an elevator . The twelve floors felt like a century for Bradley to run .

His mind was a mess , filled with terrible images of something happening to Charlotte . He burst through the fire door . A few people were already gathered sparsely in the hallway , pointing towards a certain direction from a distance . The guard led Bradley as they sprinted over . Getting closer , Bradley pushed through the onlookers and looked down to see an elderly gentleman with gray hair in workout clothes lying on the floor . He looked like he was in pain , his breathing rapid . It wasn't Charlotte .

Chapter 282 The immense relief made Bradley stumble , the weakness from the adrenaline crash almost making him unable to stand . But just for a second . His professional instincts forcibly suppressed all his personal emotions . " I'm a doctor ! Please step back and give him some air ! " His voice was still hoarse , but now it had a certain calmness . He quickly knelt beside the old man , checking his pupils , feeling for his carotid artery , and assessing his breathing . " Sir ? Can you hear me ? " He asked quickly while skillfully performing his examination .

The old man's consciousness was fading ; he couldn't respond clearly . " Did anyone see how he fell ? Does he have any medical history ? " Bradley fired off the questions without looking up , already adjusting the man's position and starting first aid . Chapter 282 The guard and residents nearby chattered, offering what little information they had . Bradley listened intently , his hands moving with precision and speed , a completely different man from the one who was on the verge of losing control just minutes before .
