Twilight Scarlet

Chapter 16 The Karen Family

Qiao Zhen was seriously ill this time. Not only was Britt and the others very nervous, Marcus even twisted off the gold coin in his hand without hesitation after knowing it.Immediately ordered Qiao Zhen to take a week off.Although everyone was a little surprised, why Marcus, as the director, should pay so much attention to the body of a little intern, and the official answer given by Gina was the danger of viral influenza.

"I don't want the whole hospital to become a huge virus infection center." Marcus said with a sneer.

After seeing his red eyes flashing with anger, everyone silently acquiesced.It is true that viral colds are very likely to be contagious, and the doctors on duty in the hospital are very tired and easily contagious, and, in fact, there are already several symptoms of colds.

"Everyone is on vacation." After Marcus found out, he immediately made a decision.Of course, this move is extremely beautiful, and no one can say that he is using public affairs for personal gain.

Due to illness, Qiao Zhen was forced to stay at home to recuperate for two days by Marcus, and now she is alive and well, full of vitality.And the whole body is already itching from idleness, and the loneliness is unbearable to death.So Qiao Zhen tried every possible means and wanted to go back to the hospital, but it was a pity that Marcus was not moved at all.

"I can go back."

"..."

"I can really go back."

"..."

"Ah, damn it, I want to go back, do you hear that!"

"Wukong, stop messing around... I still have to work as a teacher." Marcus looked at Qiao Zhen who was still talking to persuade him, and said something in jerky Chinese without looking up, and continued to focus on his hands stack of reports.In fact, if he really worked hard, he would not be able to read all the industry reports he was involved in throughout the year, but obviously, what he cared most about was the operation of Seattle Hospital.

"Huh?" Qiao Zhen didn't understand what Marcus said at first, but after he figured out what he said, he was immediately stunned and anxious, wanting to cry.Since Marcus knew that Qiao Zhen was of mixed Chinese and German origin, he immediately began to study the profound Chinese culture, and such scenes repeatedly appeared between the two of them.

"..."

After a strange silence, Qiao Zhen broke out. "Marcus! If you don't let me go back, I won't let you in my bed from today! Don't make me take my pants off!"

The threat was so serious that Marcus looked up at Joe Hazel almost immediately. "Um?"

"Hmph, you heard what I said, don't pretend."

"There was an interesting patient the afternoon before yesterday." Marcus frowned and whispered.

"What? The patient's name." Qiao Zhen immediately gave up such tricks as coquettish rolling and other tricks, and said with bright eyes.He knew that Marcus was determined not to tell him this for no reason, which was a good sign, maybe he could return to the operating room a few days earlier than he thought.

"Isabella Swann." Marcus said. "I believe you are not unfamiliar with this name."

"Of course. I remember her case. She was a 17-year-old patient with severe uremia, receiving pathological dialysis twice a week at the Fox County Hospital, and was at the top of the transplant list. What an unfortunate girl. But... I thought, she The day before yesterday, I should have been transferred to Seattle Hospital to receive a transplant.” That was the main competition in the operating room between Marcus and Britt that morning. own use.

"Things are not as simple as you think. A patient in New York City suddenly developed kidney failure, and he couldn't last another few days, so the committee temporarily gave the kidney to the patient in New York. Isabella The transplant failed the day before yesterday and was sent back to Fox Town for recuperation."

"What?! Should she be hospitalized for observation?"

"No, her indicators are not bad, I allowed her to be discharged from the hospital."

"Ah? What..."

Marcus continued without waiting for him to jump up violently: "That's why I asked you to take a vacation. I hope we can go to Fox County. Monitor her vital indicators there."

"Uh……"

"Just by the way, I think we can spare some time to introduce you, my friends." After Marcus finished speaking expressionlessly, he immediately plunged into the heavy paper, as if nothing happened. Nothing happened.

Qiao Zhen looked at him in surprise for a few seconds. "I don't……"

"A kidney transplant operation, Seattle Hospital can only encounter it once every six months?" The light words floated into Qiao Zhen's ears before Qiao Zhen refused, and the timing was just right.

"...Uh...I..."

"Well, she probably has some other minor problems, her heart..."

"Okay. Let's go." Qiao Zhen immediately reversed her previous appearance and said decisively.It's like a hungry monster making a last-ditch decision.

Marcus gave him a fixed look with his scarlet eyes, then sighed, rubbed his brows, and said a little dotingly and helplessly, "It's two o'clock in the morning..."

"Uh...then we'll leave early in the morning."

"it is good."

The next day was cold, the yard was covered with a thin layer of snow, the roof of my car was covered with silver, and the road was covered with white carpet.But that's not the worst.Yesterday's rain had all frozen to ice—clothed the needles of the trees in fantastic splendor, turned the car driveway down the road into a slick icy surface.When Qiao Zhen saw the condition of the road surface, she was immediately depressed. If it was an interstate highway, there would be a lot of deicing agents and snow trucks, but they were walking on a small road, not to mention muddy, and there might be dangerous ice somewhere. On the other hand, trekking hundreds of kilometers in such weather is simply suicide.

Marcus smiled knowing his disappointment, and pointed out: "Oh, obviously I can't drive today."

"Hmm." Qiao Zhen said sullenly. "If you still insist on going, I think I should go to the insurance company to confirm the amount of insurance. I didn't buy comprehensive insurance for road traffic."

"Who said we have to go by car."

"Uh?"

Suddenly there was a rumbling sound not far away, from far to near, Qiao Zhen was no stranger to such sounds.Their Seattle hospital has a proud helicopter rescue team.Therefore, Qiao Zhen could tell at a glance that it was the best military helicopter in the UK, but not to mention that Marcus owns a helicopter, just the fact that he privately owns a military helicopter and has airspace rights in the United States, Qiao Zhen is a little horrified .He looked at the little black dot not far away in astonishment, and saw that little black dot hovered above his head getting louder and louder, and finally landed on the roof of Marcus Mansion. Qiao Zhen's eyes were almost Prominence came. "damn you……"

"Well, my helicopter, it's cloudy but not rainy, and flying conditions are good, so I think it can escort us."

"...I hate rich people." Well, he felt like he was dating a rich man again, and a super damn billionaire at that.The sound of the helicopter landing was loud. When it landed on the roof, the sky was full of dust and the wind was loud.Now not only the passers-by on the road stopped to watch, but also people living in other villas also ran out to watch.Qiao Zhen couldn't help but feel a feeling of being speechless, terrified and... not knowing what, so that her face was so bright.

Waiting for the helicopter to stabilize, Marcus smiled, stepped onto the helicopter first, and waved at Qiao Zhen. "Still coming?"

Qiao Zhen couldn't help laughing when he saw the tremendous coercion from the huge black helicopter and the handsome man standing at the door with a calm expression stretching out his arms towards him.So fucking handsome.Qiao Zhen sighed in her heart, her feet started to move, she quickly stepped forward, threw herself into his arms, gave him a resounding kiss, and truthfully expressed her feelings. "You're so cool." Xin said that although she was not a little girl, she blushed a little and her heart beat a little because of his trick, which felt good.

"Of course." Marcus smiled.All along, he had been troubled by the fact that he couldn't possess that fatal attraction, and now he looked at this little thing with the same sparkling eyes that usually stared at the scalpel, and it felt self-evident.

It didn't take long for them to reach Fox Town, and parked in the only place where they could be parked with a high profile--Fox Middle School playground.It's not the end of get out of class yet, but from the various young and yearning faces pasted on the glass, there is great envy and longing.

At this moment, suddenly there were five people walking over quickly, without any fear of the wind vortex created by the huge helicopter wings.They didn't speak, and they didn't express any expressions. They just moved straight to the landing place of the helicopter quickly and dexterously.

Qiao Zhen noticed that although the faces of these people were different, they were surprisingly similar in some way.

Three of the five were boys, and one of them was well-built, muscular and well-developed, tall and tall, with black curly hair.The other one is not so burly but tall, slightly thinner than the previous one, but also very strong, with charming blond hair, as handsome as Apollo, the son of the sun.The last one looks a little thinner, with bronze messy hair that has a messy beauty of classical decadence.His boyishness is more serious than the other two, and the other two look like college students, even teachers here rather than students.

The temperaments of the remaining two girls are also completely opposite.The tall one is as perfect as Venus.She has a beautiful figure, just like any top model in Victoria's Secret, with an elegant and flexible waist, slender and straight legs, and a perfect chest shape wrapped in clothes. Even girls can bear it when walking on the road. A beautiful woman who can't help but take a second look.She has waist-length hair that is as golden as pure gold, hanging gracefully behind her back, and is blown slightly by the wind as she moves forward, making her extremely beautiful.The other petite girl was like an elf, graceful and nimble, her facial features were small and delicate.She has dark black messy hair, but it looks like the most popular short hair style nowadays, fashionable and full of personality.

However, they all have complete similarities.Each of them had a sickly pale skin, and although their hair was different in color, they all had obsidian-like eyes, and they all had dark shadows under their eyes, as if they had lost sleep. Suspension-like dark bags under the eyes.Their noses, which is one of their common features, are all impeccably straight noses.It was exactly the same feeling as Marcus.

But they are so different, yet so similar faces are so beautiful, so beautiful that it is hard to find in the world.Here are some of the faces you might hope to see only on the copperplate pages of fashion magazines, after a masterful Photoshop restoration.Or the faces of angels painted by skilled painters.Do beauties only deal with beauties?Qiao Zhen recalled how she felt when she met Marcus for the first time in the bar.

Qiao Zhen's weird feeling came again. Although Qiao Zhen was naturally eye-catching because of his Chinese-German mixed race, he seemed to be a bit out of tune with them, as if Marcus and them were the same person, and he was the same person. Anything else... Qiao Zhen frowned, but he quickly forgot about it.He squeezed Marcus's hand unnaturally and nervously.I was thinking about the vocabulary of the first meeting in my mind.

until they come near.Only then did Marcus turn around slowly to face the young men, their handsome faces were calm and expressionless.

"Good day, honorable Mr. Volturi." One of the very cute and petite girls smiled, with a very agile and elegant face.

"Good day, my little Alice. And good day, gentlemen and ladies."

"Father is waiting for you." One of the tall and strong boys with chestnut hair and bronze skin looked a little tense, he took a deep breath and said nervously.

"Very well. I'm just here to visit the Cullen family, and this is my mate, Jo Hazel. Jo Hazel, this is Edward. Karen and Emmett. The Cullen Brothers, that's Rosalie. Hale and Jasper, Hale, brother and sister. And my dear little Alice, they all live with Dr. and Mrs. Cullen. Under the protection of the Cullen family."

"Hello." Qiao Zhen's mouth twitched when he heard Marcus's introduction. She said, I'm still an ancient nobleman.But he only dared to talk about such trivial thoughts in his heart.Seeing Marcus introducing himself so formally, he couldn't help but look at Marcus uneasily, but he still raised the corners of his lips and made a perfect opening statement. "I'm Qiao Zhen, an intern at Seattle Hospital."

"..." It seemed that the moment they saw him, all five of them froze, only one named Edward.Karen's boy forced a smile, which seemed softer.

But then the petite girl named Alice broke the silence, giggling as if remembering something. "Seattle Hospital, isn't it the one where Bella lives?" He extended his hand and expressed friendship.

"...If it's Isabella Swann, it's true." Qiao Zhen immediately looked at her gratefully. She really is a girl who is good at adjusting the atmosphere. If they let them stay so stiff, Qiao Zhen would only feel extremely embarrassed. up.So he was half grateful and half grateful to hold the girl's petite and fair palm.Immediately, she was taken aback by the cold temperature of her hands, and then thought that in such a cold day, girls themselves tend to have cold hands and feet, so it is not surprising.

"Ah, it really is. Dr. Qiao Zhen, Bella wants you to take care of me." Alice nodded and smiled friendly, like an elegant and light little butterfly, happy and beautiful. "Bella is like my little sister, we're all worried about her."

"Where. These are our responsibilities. This time I came here because of Miss Swann's health."

Marcus watched the interaction between the two people indifferently, his eyes fixed on the hands of the two people, and suddenly interrupted the conversation. "Okay, take us to see Karen." There was a natural coercion of a superior in his tone, like a high-ranking emperor giving orders.

This made the atmosphere that was finally somewhat relaxed quickly drop to freezing point.Qiao Zhen's eyes twitched, and he gave Marcus a hard elbow, and squeezed Marcus's hand tightly, then turned his head and said embarrassingly to the remaining ones: " Haha, no, no, just kidding, he was joking. You are still in class, so don’t delay the class. Marcus and I are sightseeing around here by the way, and then just find someone to ask for directions. You go to class .”

"..." When the five people present saw Qiao Zhen's action, they all gasped involuntarily. When they saw him pinching Marcus again, they all took a step back in shock.

In an instant, a vacuum zone with a radius of about one meter formed around Qiao Zhen.Qiao Zhen looked at the five in confusion, then gave Marcus a hard look, and complained that he scared the children.

Marcus naturally understood what he meant, patted his head lovingly and said, "It's okay, I don't think it's a big deal for the outstanding Karen children, huh?"

"Well, we have already asked for leave, Dr. Qiao Zhen, don't worry. Please follow us to father's place now."

"...Okay then." Qiao Zhen looked at the blond and beautiful ice beauty who looked like a sea monster with embarrassment, and spoke to herself in a slightly respectful and admiring tone, and couldn't help but bury herself in Marcus's shoulder silently supporting him. Uh, this is the situation of the gods, hello!

...Damn Marcus, who pretended to be kind, amiable, innocent, and honest, was ruined by him again.It's the most annoying thing to see friends!
