Chapter 667 - Magnet (2)

The nurses at the nurses' station were chattering noisily. After Collin checked the patient, he made the prescription and observed the patient for half an hour. Then, he returned to his office and sat down. As soon as his sight touched the computer screen, a picture could not help but appear in his mind.

A weak girl was brutally gulped down a bottle of beer by her drunken stepfather. He tore off her clothes and touched her with disgusting hands... Collin clenched his five fingers. There were many comments that complained about this brutal plot. The readers all hoped the author could write something sweeter. Collin intuitively knew that this had really happened to Roxy.

The girl in that story Lori was Roxy, and the 'he' that appeared in the first line of the article was Roxy's stepfather.

The article was as follows, "He lied to my mother and said that I took off my clothes to seduce him, and also said that he would only love my mother. What is love? It's all about disgusting saliva, choking beer, and his demon hands...

The doctor applied medicine for me and fed me. I don't want to go home anymore. Mom took me home and smashed the TV in the doctor's house. She scolded him for being shameless but why did she scold him? The most shameless person was right beside her...

I cut his penis and he looked extremely painful. He can never hit me again, never again. I want to take my mother and get out of this hell.

I came out alone. My mother said that I was a jinx. She wanted me gone. Why? Am I not her only family in this world?

The doctor had moved away. I had nowhere to go. They told me that the doctor is here now, so I followed. But I had never found him in the sea of people. He's all I've got in this world and he's a mother to me, important.

What exactly is living? I have never understood it since I was young. I still don't understand it when I grew up."

At the end of the last page, Collin looked at the published date. It was eight years ago.

Collin thought, "How old was she then?"

Collin did not dare to imagine.

A teenage child had recorded all her past on the Internet. However, the readers treated it as a novel and watched it with relish. Collin did not know whether he should feel sorry for Roxy, be angry at that damned stepfather, or should he reprimand the readers who knew nothing but kept jabbering.

He was in a rage and he felt as if his body is burning up. The rage and all the emotions in him made his nerves tense. When he opened the window and got some cool air outside, he finally felt relaxed in a split second.

Roxy's empty eyes appeared in front of his mind again.

"I hate that I was born. Perhaps my mother hates me, too. Otherwise, why would she let me die?" Collin felt that he heard a husky voice, saying.

The rumbling thunder sounded, illuminating the pale face of Collin on the window.

He turned around and picked up the car keys on the table. Without even taking off his white gown, he rushed to the garage. The nurses behind him shouted in surprise, "Doctor Mueller? Where are you going?"

"I'll be back in an hour!" Collin did not turn around.

Heavy rain poured down. At this point, although the traffic was not congested, the speed of the car had obviously slowed down. Collin remained calm, but his fingers were anxiously clenching and loosening on the steering wheel.

He drove until he reached Roxy's apartment. The security guard at the door probably recognized him and opened the door to let him in. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Collin did not look at him and directly drove in.

He couldn't get in the elevator because he's not the resident here. He turned his head to look at the stairs in the safe passage. Without a word, he took a big step and got to the third floor. When he reached the tenth floor, he was already slightly panting.

He panted and went to knock on the door. A strange man came out from the back door after a long time, "Who are you looking for?"

Collin was stunned for a moment. The man in front of him was not like Roxy's type. He was wearing a white vest and was a little fat. He also wore glasses. He was too old for Roxy.

Another woman's voice came from inside, "Who is outside?"

Collin finally realized something and asked, "Where are the people who lived here?"

"Oh, you're looking for the previous tenant? I don't know. We just moved in yesterday. We haven't seen the previous tenant." That man answered.

Collin looked inside. The things in the room had been cleaned up. The floor that had been covered with broken glass was also clean and spotless at this moment.

"Sorry for the disturbance." Collin withdrew his gaze, his expression uncertain. He turned around and leaned against the wall, slowly gasping for breath.

The man inside the door said to the woman in the room, "He's not looking for us. He's probably looking for his girlfriend." He closed the door.

Collin leaned against the wall and wanted to laugh when he heard the man say "girlfriend", but he did not feel like laughing. He raised his wrist and looked at his watch. More than half an hour had passed. He exhaled and was about to walk to the elevator when the elevator door opened. A security guard walked out, "Hey, I just called you. She left. Are you here for her?"

Collin responded and did not say anything more. He entered the elevator and was ready to drive back to the hospital.

"She moved. She's probably still looking for a new house. I don't know. I just came up to tell you. Don't you have her number? Or did she move and not tell you?" The security guard asked.

"Don't tell her I've been here," Collin said.

"Oh, okay." The security guard answered readily.

Before Collin walked out of the elevator, he could not help but ask, "How many people did she bring here?"

"What? Are you talking about her friends?" The security guard did not understand.

Collin regretted asking this question and walked out with a taut face.

"No, you are the first male friend she'd brought. You don't look very compatible at first glance, but when you stand together, you looked like a match." The security guard smiled.

"What kind of match?"

"You're like magnets for each other. That's why you looked a match when you are standing close. It's hard to describe." The security guard scratched his head.

The rain was still heavy. Before Collin got in the car, he said to the security guard, "We are not in a relationship."

The security guard was stunned for a moment. Collin had already driven far away, with a pair of taillights flashing in the rain.

The security guard returned to the security room and muttered to himself, "If not, why would he come to her in such a heavy rain?"

Collin got into the car and found that he forgot to take his coat. His white coat was wet and he felt uncomfortable because of the coldness of the water. He drove all the way back to the hospital. He took his clothes into the staff bathroom and took a shower.

When he came out, his hair was still dripping. He took a towel and wiped his hair with one hand. He took his dirty clothes with the other hand and returned to his office. On the way, he passed by the nurse station. Having seen his expression, the nurses did not dare to talk to him.

They just said lightly, "Doctor Mueller, do not catch a cold."

However, Doctor Mueller, who usually greeted people, seemed to not hear them at this moment. He walked straight to his office and even forgot to close the door.

The next morning, when changing shifts, a nurse passed by Doctor Mueller's office and found that he, who was behind the desk, had a strange expression on his face. The nurse asked in surprise, "Doctor Mueller, do you catch a cold?"

Collin turned off the computer and touched his forehead, "Maybe. I'll go back to sleep. I have a day off the day after tomorrow. Call me if you need anything."

"Alright."
