Unpredictable Betrayal : A Sweet of Revenge

From afar, Regina observed keenly how Alden was busy explaining things to the Internship doctors in the ER room.

After making sure Alden was much more relaxed, Regina hurried over. In both hands, she carried a large bag containing several boxes of cakes she wanted to distribute to the medical team gathering there.

Regina deliberately did this. Besides wanting to attract attention, she also wanted to apologize to Alden for what happened earlier. Moreover, this was also part of Regina’s way of trying to get closer to and soften Alden’s heart so he would slowly accept her.

“Guys, I brought a lot of cakes. Please distribute them to the other colleagues.”

All the medical team in the ER immediately became excited, waiting for their turn to get a piece of cake. Meanwhile, Regina went straight to Alden, who seemed indifferent as he sorted through his belongings. As soon as she had the chance, she handed him the paper bag containing his favorite cakes.

“These are for Dr. Alden. I deliberately prepared cakes that you like.”

Alden raised his head. He didn’t immediately accept the paper bag handed to him.

“Doc, please accept it.”

Alden shook his head.

“No, thank you.”

Regina didn’t give up. She tried to persuade Alden, even if she had to keep pushing until he accepted her offering.

“Please. This is my way of apologizing for the unpleasant incident yesterday. I didn’t mean anything by it. Besides, I didn’t put any poison in the cakes, okay?”NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Regina continued to press. She put on a pleading face until Alden finally agreed to accept her gift.

Without saying much or even saying thank you, Alden simply walked away. Not wanting to miss the moment, Regina purposely followed him. She trailed behind him until they reached Alden’s office door.

“What do you really want?”

Alden, realizing he was being followed from the ER, immediately asked. It was somewhat uncomfortable to be followed like this.

“Can we talk seriously? I promise it won’t take more than 10 minutes.”

“Just five minutes,” Alden offered firmly.

“Okay, how about seven minutes? After that, I promise to leave right away.”

Alden nodded. He gave Regina a chance to speak in front of his office.

“So, what do you want to talk about?”

“I just want to apologize for what happened yesterday. I didn’t mean to make you angry.”

“Okay. I forgive you.”

Regina smiled. She knew well that Alden was someone who easily forgave.

“Anything else?”

Regina nodded repeatedly.

“I just want to make sure, is there any chance for me to win your heart? I mean, we’ve known each other for a long time. Isn’t there any way I could become your partner? For God’s sake, I’ve been sure all along that I like you so much and love you, Alden.”

Alden remained silent for a moment. He took a slow breath. Then he answered Regina’s question.

“As I’ve already emphasized yesterday. From the beginning, I’ve only seen you as a friend or a little sister.”

“But, we can try to build a serious relationship. After all, feelings of love can grow anytime as time goes by. Especially if we have intense daily interactions. I believe I can make you fall in love.”

Alden shook his head. He clearly showed no interest at all.

“Unfortunately, my feelings for you won’t change whether it’s in the past, present, or future. I still see you as a little sister or a friend. Nothing more.”

“Well, what’s so special about Doctor Aurora, huh? Why are you so madly in love with her?”

“Because she’s special and she has everything that you don’t. So, let me emphasize once again. No matter how hard you try, I assure you it won’t work. So, don’t waste your precious time trying to force me to like you. And I think your seven minutes are up.”

Without waiting for a response from his conversation partner, Alden immediately entered his room. While Regina, instead of returning to her room and contemplating, went elsewhere.

Upon reaching her destination, she knocked on the door repeatedly until she was finally invited in.

“Doctor Regina? What’s up?”

“Doctor Aurora, we need to talk seriously.”

Indeed, it was Aurora’s room that Regina visited. Without bothering to sit down, she immediately stated her purpose and goal for approaching.

“I know that Doctor Aurora is currently close to Doctor Alden. And I’m sure Doctor Alden has already told you that, long before you two knew each other, we were already close.”

“So, what does Doctor Regina want?”

Regina smiled faintly. She raised an eyebrow, then spoke confidently.

“Because I don’t want to be seen as a relationship wrecker, that’s why I’m willing to compete openly with Doctor Aurora to win Doctor Alden. And when I succeed, I want Doctor Aurora to gracefully and generously let go of Doctor Alden.”

This time, Regina wasn’t playing around. She made sure to get what she wanted.
