Not Your Doormat Anymore novel Chapter 59

I knew that without my parents' support, I wouldn't be where I was today. I owed them more than just for today.

But right now, my injuries weren't something I wanted to flaunt. After saying a quick goodbye to my parents, I headed back to the apartment.

My parents knew Kourtney was also there, so they weren't worried when I left.

Kourtney was taken aback when she saw me like this. "Dr. Ranford, what happened to you?"

She pulled me into the living room and grabbed the first aid kit to help bandage me up.

I shook my head. "It's already been taken care of. You don't need to worry about it."

"That's not enough! You need to properly bandage it. What if you bump into something and it hurts even more?"

She gently touched my swollen face, making me wince. Instantly, she pulled her hand back and rushed to get some medicine. She applied it carefully and wrapped the bandages neatly. Perhaps because she had spent so much time in the hospital, her techniques were great.

When she was done, she tied a little bow at the top of my head.

Looking at myself in the mirror, I couldn't help but think I looked a bit ridiculous. I remarked, "You didn't have to go this far."

"Isn't it cute?" Kourtney propped her chin up and stared at me. "Dr. Ranford, when you showed up looking like that, I almost had a heart attack! What happened? Be honest with me. If someone hurt you on purpose, we should report it to the police!"

I shook my head. "It's nothing serious."

I quickly gave her a brief rundown of everything that had happened, but her eyes only grew wider with shock. "Dr. Ranford, you did everything you could to save that patient! How could they treat you like this?"

I shook my head helplessly. "The hospital has their own way of doing things."

Kourtney opened her mouth as if she was about to say something, but then she hesitated. Seeing her reddened eyes, I couldn't help but smile.

"I'm the one without a job, yet you look more upset than I do."
