Stella Fletcher looked at the man in front of her, as if she saw Silas Everett’s captivating face. His voice was gentle, "Miss Fletcher, you’ve had a lot to drink. Would you like me to take you home?" Stella instinctively stood up, grabbed his collar, and with red-rimmed eyes, questioned, "Silas, why did you deceive me? Why?" The man in front of her frowned slightly, "Miss Fletcher, you’ve got the wrong person." Stella seemed oblivious to his words and started muttering to herself, "I was just about to fall for you, but why did you deceive me? From the beginning, you were using me..." As she spoke, a tear slid down Stella’s cheek. "Miss Fletcher, you’ve drunk too much. I’m not Silas Everett you’re talking about. My name is Benjamin Shaw." "Benjamin Shaw?" Upon hearing the name, Stella felt a sense of familiarity. Stella shook her head, trying to clear her mind. She looked again and realized she had mistaken someone else for Silas Everett. He was wearing a denim jacket, paired with a white sweatshirt, and had a clean haircut, looking only about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. Stella quickly let go of the man’s collar and said a bit awkwardly, "Sorry, I mistook you for someone else." The man smiled, revealing a set of white teeth, "It’s okay, Miss Fletcher, we’ve met." "Have we?" Upon hearing this, Stella tried to recall, "Sorry! My head is a bit dizzy, I can’t remember." With that, Stella sat back in the booth, rubbing her temples. "It’s alright. Let me reintroduce myself!" Benjamin Shaw extended his hand, with a sunny and warm smile, "I’m an internist doctor, and my name is Benjamin Shaw." "You’re an internist?" Hearing this, Stella finally realized, "Are you the doctor who saw me last time?" Benjamin Shaw nodded, "Miss Fletcher, do you remember me now?" Stella awkwardly smiled, "Sorry! Last time you were wearing a mask, I didn’t recognize you. No wonder I found your name familiar." Benjamin Shaw smiled understandingly, "It’s fine, it’s not too late to recognize now. Why are you drinking so much alone in a bar? Is there something bothering you?" Stella lowered her eyes slightly, not wanting to mention her heartache. "Nothing, I just suddenly wanted to drink." Benjamin Shaw saw her reluctance to say more and didn’t press further. "It’s not very safe for a girl to drink alone outside. You should drink less in the future. And, although alcohol can temporarily numb your nerves, drinking too much can harm your stomach and lungs. In the future, drink less!" Stella nodded gently, "Hmm, I understand, Dr. Shaw, thank you for your concern." This guy, even in a bar, didn’t forget to speak from his professional perspective. Could it be occupational habit? Benjamin Shaw looked at her, his eyes full of sincerity, "No need to be so polite. If you ever feel unwell again, you can come to me anytime." Stella, upon hearing this, quickly waved her hand, "No, I’m quite well. I don’t want to end up in the hospital." "If you don’t want to go to the hospital and you know your stomach isn’t great, then why drink?" Benjamin Shaw frowned and asked. Stella smiled without answering and instead changed the topic, "Then why did Dr. Shaw come to the bar?" Benjamin Shaw was slightly taken aback and then smiled, "Sometimes I want to relax too, but I don’t come often. Just happened to run into you today." Hearing this, Stella awkwardly smiled, "Aren’t doctors usually very busy?" "It’s busy when performing surgeries. But it’s the end of the year vacation now. Sometimes I meet up with a few friends." Stella nodded thoughtfully, "Oh, I see!" After chatting with Benjamin Shaw for a few words, Stella felt her intoxication had lessened a lot. "Are you okay? Do you need me to take you home?" Stella was about to refuse when suddenly she clutched her stomach, her face turning pale, eyebrows furrowed in pain. "What’s wrong with you?" "I, my stomach hurts." Stella took a deep breath, the pain causing cold sweat to break out on her forehead. "Did you skip meals lately and then drink, causing stomach inflammation?" Benjamin Shaw deduced Stella’s condition from his professional perspective. Benjamin Shaw quickly supported Stella, "Come on, I’ll take you to the hospital." Stella weakly shook her head, "No need, I’ll be fine after resting a bit." "No, your current condition is not good, you must go to the hospital immediately." Benjamin Shaw’s tone was firm, leaving no room for refusal. Stella was in too much pain and could only nod, "Then I’ll trouble you, Dr. Shaw." He supported Stella out of the bar, hailed a taxi, and headed straight to the hospital. In the cab, Stella was in so much pain her face was pale. Benjamin Shaw couldn’t help but comfort her, "Hang in there, we’re almost there." At the hospital, Benjamin Shaw immediately had Stella undergo a series of tests. As he expected, Stella had stomach inflammation. Benjamin Shaw prescribed medicine for Stella, arranged for her to rest in the ward, "You must pay attention to your diet in the future, don’t be so willful anymore." Stella looked at Benjamin Shaw’s serious demeanor, and a warm feeling surged in her heart. "Thank you, Dr. Shaw." Benjamin Shaw smiled, "No need to be so polite. Rest well. Once you’re better, you can’t continue neglecting your health." Stella nodded silently, lying on the hospital bed, no longer speaking. "Hey, Dr. Shaw, weren’t you on your year-end vacation? Why are you back at work?" The night shift doctor, while checking the ward, didn’t expect to see Benjamin Shaw back, wearing his work clothes, looking surprised. Benjamin Shaw smiled awkwardly, "A friend of mine got stomach inflammation, so..." Before Benjamin Shaw could finish, his colleague’s gaze landed on Stella in the hospital bed, "Friend? Dr. Shaw, could this be your girlfriend?" His colleague couldn’t understand what kind of female friend would make Benjamin Shaw return to work during his vacation. So, there was only one possibility: this girl must be his girlfriend. Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹~𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮~𝚗𝚎𝚝 Hearing this, Stella’s face turned red instantly. Benjamin Shaw was also a bit embarrassed and quickly explained, "No, don’t say that. She’s just a former patient of mine, we happened to meet tonight, and she wasn’t feeling well, so I brought her to the hospital." His colleague laughed, with a "I get it" expression, "Dr. Shaw, I’ve never seen you so attentive to any patient before, stop denying it." Benjamin Shaw helplessly shook his head, "Really, it’s not like that. You should get on with your work!" Saying that, Benjamin Shaw urged his colleague to leave. His colleague laughed heartily, "Alright, I’m leaving, I won’t disturb you two anymore." After his colleague left, the atmosphere in the ward became somewhat awkward. Benjamin Shaw looked at Stella and said, "Don’t mind him, he just likes to joke around."
