Chapter 358

Not long after, the dean arrived with his medical kit, noticing Orion wasn't alone but accompanied by a girl. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. โ€œIs this your girlfriend who got hurt this time?โ€

Lemira pursed her lips. โ€œIโ€™m not his girlfriend.โ€

Orion glanced at her, then firmly took her hand. โ€œSheโ€™s injured.โ€

After examining the wound on Lemiraโ€™s hand, the dean chuckled. โ€œThat scratch? Youโ€™d heal up even if you came in later.โ€

Lemiraโ€™s cheeks flushed with embarrassment. โ€œItโ€™s his arm thatโ€™s injured, cut by a metal locker; it needs a tetanus shot.โ€ She shifted to show the dean Orionโ€™s arm wound.

The deanโ€™s demeanor changed upon seeing Orionโ€™s injury. After a thorough check, he administered the tetanus shot to Orion.

Then, looking at Lemira, he teased Orion, โ€œPlaying the hero and still getting hurt, kinda embarrassing, huh?โ€

Odon, known for his boldness, seemed much more restrained today, especially in front of a young lady. Quite the rare sight.

Feeling slightly embarrassed after getting the shot, Orion took the antiseptic from the kit to clean Lemiraโ€™s wound, which stung a bit. Lemira winced, and Orion raised an eyebrow. โ€œDoes it hurt?โ€

She knew he was also teasing her on purpose.

The dean coughed. โ€œAlright, you got the shot, now off you go. Donโ€™t loiter around here. Iโ€™m old, my blood sugarโ€™s high; I canโ€™t stand all this sweet nonsense.โ€

Orion put down the antiseptic and took Lemira away from the hospital.

Lemira looked at him. โ€œYou know that doctor?โ€

โ€œYeah, I know him.โ€

Suddenly, Lemira asked, โ€œOrion, are you rich?โ€

Orion paused, his gaze fixed on her, trying to discern her thoughts but to no avail. He asked tentatively, โ€œWhy do you ask?โ€

โ€œThis is a private hospital, owned by the Everhart family, a prominent name. Only people of certain status come here. And you know the dean so well.โ€

Lemira found it a bit strange.

Orion coughed. โ€œI used to be a doctor; isnโ€™t it normal to know people from the same field?โ€

Then it dawned on Lemira that he used to be a doctor, though just a school doctor.

โ€œWhy did you become a school doctor at a high school then?โ€

She remembered that the sarcastic school doctor didnโ€™t stay long before leaving.

Orion glanced at the sky. โ€œPersonal reasons.โ€

Personal reasons? Lemira looked at him curiously, sensing there was more to him. โ€œAre you hiding secrets?โ€

Orion paused for a moment. He softly said, โ€œYes.โ€

โ€œSo, were you some kind of secret agent before, with some mysterious mission, and now youโ€™re retired but still have secretive tasks to handle?โ€

Orion flicked her forehead. โ€œWatch less TV.โ€

Walking ahead with his long strides, Lemira had to jog to keep up. โ€œThen why did you become our school doctor?โ€

It seemed unusual.

After getting in the car, Orion looked at her. โ€œSo interested in my story?โ€

โ€œI suspect you were undercover at our school.โ€

โ€œOpite the imagination, perfect for a screenwriter.โ€

Lemira smiled. โ€œHow did you know Iโ€™ve written scripts before?โ€

Chapter 358 (continued)

She had written scripts for Caspian in her past life. Caspian, an actor and owner of a production company, was great at acting but not at running a business, constantly losing money due to a lack of good scripts. She had tried her hand at scriptwriting, but Caspian always dismissed her work. Ironically, it was her script that became a blockbuster, making a fortune! Yet, in the end, Caspian credited Evelina as the main creator, reducing her to a mere editor. Her achievements were stolen once again. Evelina, dubbed the most beautiful screenwriter, smoothly entered the entertainment world, becoming a star. Well, this time, she wouldnโ€™t give Caspian the movie script. Considering the timing, Caspianโ€™s TV series should have premiered, but she hadnโ€™t received her scriptwriting fee yet! She planned to reclaim what was hers, with interest!
