Part 2The Germaphobe Doctor's Unclean Ex-Girlfriend

I forced an awkward smile. Julian's gaze remained on me, and then I heard his deep voice, "Chloe, Vance? Your girlfriend?"

As soon as these words came out, I suddenly felt the air turn cold. Must be an illusion.

I swallowed. Chloe Vance! What are you afraid of? You've already broken up, you have nothing to do with each other!

After some mental comfort, I adjusted my state, raised a smile, and extended my hand. "Hello, Dr. Thorne."

Julian held his wine glass and didn't extend his hand for a long time. I knew he definitely wouldn't. This person with severe mysophobia, who washes his hands three times after shaking hands with friends, how could he shake hands with me, especially his detestable ex-girlfriend.

I still remember, after I forced myself on him, Julian looked shocked. His neat white shirt was messed up by me, and there were beads of blood on his lips from my bite.

Like an abstinent male god being ravaged. Thinking about it, I felt a little excited inside?

Seeing Julian staring at me without extending his hand, Ryan tried to pull my hand back to alleviate the awkwardness. But the next second, Julian reached out and shook my hand. "Hello, Chloe Vance."

I almost thought Julian was going to say, long time no see, my detestable ex-girlfriend.

What shocked me even more was that Julian actually shook my hand! Could it be that after two years, this man has reformed?

I gave a suspicious smirk, then quickly withdrew my hand and linked arms with Ryan again.

Ryan laughed heartily. "I didn't expect the always germaphobic Dr. Thorne to be willing to initiate a handshake. Haven't seen you for a year, you've changed a lot, at least acting like a normal person..."

Seeming to realize his words were a bit inappropriate, Ryan quickly said apologetically, "No no no, I didn't mean that hahaha."

Julian didn't mind, didn't even look at him, but glanced at me and said, "It's fine, what you said is indeed correct."

Me: "Hehe, hehe."

Why don't I believe it at all.

Julian turned and left after chatting for a bit. My heart itched. When no one was around, I pulled Ryan to whisper, "How do you know this Dr. Thorne? I haven't heard you mention him as a friend before?"

Ryan said, "Ah, a year ago I had a car accident near his place and went into the emergency room. At that time he despised me because my wounds had motor oil, my clothes were full of sand, and my sweat stank. I tell you, I fainted but could be woken up by his anger."

"Later I found out he was a severe germaphobe and thought it was quite interesting. It took a lot of effort to win him over as a friend."

I almost couldn't hold back my laughter. I asked again, "Then why did he come all the way to your party today? Isn't he very busy?"

Ryan looked at me with burning eyes. "How do you know he's very busy?"

I was speechless for a moment, then twisted my tongue. "Aren't doctors all like that? Maybe there's an emergency patient anytime."

Speaking of this, I recalled my sad history. Since I confessed to Julian and got together with him, Julian had been busy every day. So busy that I might not even say a few words to him a day. Most of the time I was curled up on the sofa watching TV by myself.

Boyfriend in name only. Yet, I bravely stayed with Julian for a year. I admired myself too.

Ryan seemed to stop doubting and said, "True. But recently, he came here on a business trip. Heard it's for a transfer. The provincial hospital invited him several times, but I guess Julian probably won't come here to develop."

I was startled. Transfer? Come here to develop?

Isn't this killing me? Back then I tried so hard to escape the sad place where he was. Now Julian has a chance to come here to develop?

But since he refused several times, it's probably unlikely.

Thinking of this, my heart went back into my stomach. Ryan leaned in mysteriously. "What? You fancy him?"

I rolled my eyes at him. "Would you fancy an abnormal person?"

Ryan thought about it and felt it made sense. "Sigh, seems like anyone who fancies Julian probably has some cleanliness issues like him."

Me: "?"

I felt like I was being scolded.

Ryan was called away by other friends to drink and brag, and I wasn't suitable for that scene. I drank too much wine and wanted to go to the bathroom. But just walking out of the banquet hall, I saw a figure on the railing. Dressed in a suit, but in my eyes, I could see him in a white coat saving lives, doing surgery with those good-looking long hands while despising the patient for being dirty here and there.

I suddenly couldn't hold back a laugh, then lightened my footsteps, planning to slip away.

I simply didn't know how to face Julian.

But I only moved two steps before being stopped by a familiar voice, "Chloe Vance, where are you planning to run this time?"

Indeed, when it rains, it pours.

I took a deep breath, then turned around calmly. "Oh my, isn't this Dr. Thorne? I don't seem to know you very well. Where I run to has nothing to do with you, right?"

Julian squinted and walked towards me aggressively. I felt the pressure. "Not very well? Can't I care about my ex-girlfriend?"

Care. This word actually came out of Julian's mouth. I thought he never cared about people.

I forced a smile awkwardly. "Dr. Thorne, you seem to have forgotten, we have already broken up."

Julian was tall, fully a head and a half taller than me. Looking straight, my eyes could only see his chest. Seeing his chest, I thought of the forced kiss scene two years ago. Today he was also wearing a suit with a white shirt inside, tied with a neat bow tie, exuding an aura of abstinence.

My heart screamed, Chloe Vance! I knew how could you be that kind of abnormal person, you definitely chased Julian because you coveted his beauty.

"You are Ryan's girlfriend?"

I was stunned, not expecting Julian to ask such an idiotic question. Didn't I just introduce us to him?

"Yes."

"Break up with him. Not allowed to see him again."

I looked up at him in surprise. Still those captivating eyes, but this time, they were no longer calm, no longer waveless, but had anger, even exuding a liveliness.

I got angry. "Are you sick? Go get treated if you are sick."

After saying that, I didn't intend to entangle with him anymore and turned to leave. But the next second, my wrist was grabbed by Julian. A strong force pulled me into his arms, and Julian's low voice sounded in my ear, "Chloe Vance, two years no see, you've really grown capable."

Then, after finishing, he actually kissed my earlobe voluntarily, then bit it lightly.

My brain exploded instantly. Julian must be sick today. Not only did he hug me voluntarily, but he also kissed me.

"Julian Thorne! Let go of me. What do you mean? Believe it or not, I'll sue you for molesting a married woman?"
