Conquest Game: The Aloof Husband is Dangerous!-Chapter 170 - 156: What Nonsense Are You Talking About

Chapter 170: Chapter 156: What Nonsense Are You Talking About

Although someone on Weibo had publicly apologized for the matter and explained that they fabricated lies out of jealousy towards Laura Quincy, he still felt that something was off...

Just like Jasper Hawthorne, Jonah Xavier also had questions. Ever since seeing the news about Laura Quincy, he had been trying to call her, but couldn’t get through.

After losing contact for an entire night, he decided to personally go to City General Hospital to inquire. He remembered that Laura Quincy had a best friend working there, who was also their high school classmate — Nina Pierce.

Just out of the operating room, Nina Pierce hadn’t yet had a chance to wash her hands when the little nurse Dempsey informed her, "Ms. Pierce, a super handsome guy is looking for you! He seems like someone off TV, everyone is gossiping that he’s your boyfriend!"

Nina Pierce initially thought it was Noah Cross coming to see her, but upon considering Dempsey’s comment about someone "off TV", she dismissed the idea that it was him.

Frowning, could it be Jason Hawthorne?

No way! He already took Laura away, why would he be looking for me?

She quickly glanced at Dempsey, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Dempsey smiled mischievously, not believing Nina’s words. Nowadays, many girls didn’t like broadcasting their private lives, and Dr. Pierce was one of them.

Nina Pierce took off her surgical gown, washed her hands, and followed Dempsey to where the handsome guy was waiting.

From afar, she recognized Jonah Xavier’s silhouette.

Puzzled, what was Counselor Xavier doing here looking for her?

Dempsey teased upon seeing her expression, "Wasn’t I right? It’s your boyfriend, Ms. Pierce?"

Nina Pierce gave her a sideways glance, "You’re overthinking it, he’s my high school classmate."

Then she walked over, "Counselor Xavier, what brings you to see me today?"

Jonah Xavier looked at her, "Is Laura Quincy hospitalized here?"

Nina Pierce suddenly realized, so it was about Laura!

That troublesome girl with her striking peach blossom eyes!

"Oh... she was originally hospitalized here, but after getting noticed by reporters, she was transferred to Sunstone Hospital."

"Sunstone Hospital?"

"Yes."

Jonah Xavier paused, "Is it related to Jason Hawthorne?"

Nina Pierce looked at him surprisingly, had Laura told him all this?

Jonah Xavier was observant. He was originally just guessing, but from Nina’s gaze, he was already entirely sure.

"Counselor, do you really like Laura?"

Nina Pierce didn’t answer but asked instead. She actually thought Jonah Xavier was a quality man, and if it weren’t for Laura being entangled with that scoundrel Jason, they would have made a good match.

But matters of the heart, as an outsider, she shouldn’t interfere.

Jonah Xavier answered honestly, "Yes, I like Laura Quincy."

Nina Pierce appreciated his honesty. Liking someone was just liking them, and there was no need to hide it.

She then teased, "You wouldn’t have had a crush on our Laura since high school, would you?"

Jonah Xavier smiled, "What do you think?"

He easily deflected the question back to Nina Pierce.

Nina didn’t dwell on this topic, "So you’re saying, no matter what happened in Laura’s past, you only like her for who she is now?"

Jonah Xavier nodded, "Of course."

Nina Pierce looked at him again, "Laura’s phone broke at the scene yesterday, she just got a new one, but her number remains the same."

The implication was clear, if you want to see her, contact her yourself. This is all I can help with.

Jonah Xavier understood, "Thank you."

Nina Pierce waved her hand readily, "We’re old classmates, no need to say thanks! I’m off to work now!"

Unbeknownst to them, their conversation in the hallway was witnessed by Theodore White, who had initially wanted to talk to Nina Pierce. As he went to the surgical department, he overheard the gossip from the little nurses.

"Was that elegant handsome guy really Dr. Pierce’s boyfriend?"

"I think there’s a 90% chance! Dr. Pierce is so outstanding, she and that handsome guy are a perfect match!"

"Right! They’re so pleasing to the eye, aren’t they?!"

Theodore White’s lips pressed tightly together, did she really have a boyfriend?

Seeing the man for himself, he had to admit the guy was indeed impressive and fits well with Nina...

Yet, he felt very uncomfortable inside.

Nina Pierce, feeling cheerful, was heading back to her office, but as she reached a corner, she was suddenly dragged forward by a strong force...

Theodore White pulled her to an empty balcony before letting go of her hand.

Nina Pierce shook off his hand in irritation, "What’s wrong with you! Did you forget to take your meds this morning? Go back and take them! Why are you acting crazy with me?"

With that, she was ready to leave.

Working at the same hospital as this man was already torture, and they kept running into each other, what bad luck!

Theodore White asked in a deep voice, "Was that man just now your boyfriend?"

He had sensed it from her cheerful expression but couldn’t help wanting to confirm it.
