No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 340

Glancing at her, Cedric grabbed her hand and said, "She's injured."

Andrew looked at the scratch on Noelle's hand and remarked, "It's just a scratch. If you'd come any later, it would've healed completely."

Noelle's face flushed. "His arm is the one that needs attention. He scraped it on a metal locker and would require a tetanus shot." She pointed to Cedric's arm for Andrew to examine.

When Andrew saw the injury, his expression immediately grew serious. After a careful examination, he administered the tetanus shot.

Glancing at Noelle, Andrew teased Cedric, "Getting hurt while playing the hero? That's a little embarrassing, don't you think?"

Andrew had known Cedric to be arrogant since childhood, yet in Noelle's presence, he seemed much more restrained, which was a rare sight. Slightly embarrassed, Cedric took over the medical kit and began disinfecting Noelle's wound himself.

The sting from the disinfectant made Noelle let out a small hiss.

"Does it hurt?" Cedric raised an eyebrow.

Noelle knew he was deliberately teasing her.

Andrew cleared his throat and said, "Alright, you've got your shot. Now, off you go. I'm too old for this lovey-dovey nonsense; my blood sugar can't handle it."

Cedric put down the disinfectant and left the hospital with Noelle.

Noelle glanced at him and asked, "Do you know the doctor we met earlier?"

"Yes," Cedric replied casually.

Noelle suddenly asked, "Are you rich or something?"

Cedric paused, his gaze locking onto her face as though trying to read her thoughts, but to no avail.

"Why do you ask?" he asked cautiously.

"Well, Aristelle Hospital is owned by the Greene family, one of Yasnia's elites. Only people with status come here, and you seem pretty familiar with that hospital director." Noelle couldn't help but find it odd.

Clearing his throat, Cedric said, "I used to be a doctor, too. Isn't it normal to know people in the same field?"
