NovelEnglishChapter 313 But right now, Sylvia had bigger things to worry about.
If she really wanted to go to the police, there'd be an injury report-she'd need to check what was still missing from her medical file.
She swung her legs out of bed, but the moment her feet hit the floor, her knees buckled like she was standing on marshmallows.
Gritting her teeth, she forced herself forward, step by shaky step, toward the doctor's office.
She was halfway there when the office door slammed open so hard it nearly hit the wall.
Chris burst out, cell phone pressed to his ear, shouting, "Are you out of your damn mind? What the hell were you thinking?" He was so worked up, he barreled right past Sylvia without even noticing her.
Watching him go, Sylvia remembered that guy who'd run from the locker room. There was something... familiar, and yet off.
Chris had just had his face shield smashed in by Rupert, and had crashed into a bunch of lockers. So why did he look perfectly fine now, like nothing had happened? And why, if Rupert knew about Chris and Bridget's affair, did he still trust Chris so much? A million questions buzzed around Sylvia's mind.

He headed straight into the ER.
Sylvia hovered outside the half-open door, peeking in.
There was a row of beds, each with someone laid out on it.
Chris made a beeline for the center bed and yanked the curtain aside.
He glared at the patient and let loose: "Are you nuts? Who the hell goes drag racing in the hills?" Drag racing? Sylvia's heart skipped a beat.

"Sit up. Lettake a look at that cut on your face." As soon as he said it, the figure on the bed sat up, looking utterly wrecked.
One knee bent, one arm draped over it—and a flashy watch caught Sylvia's eye.
At that moment, Chris reached for ssupplies, and Sylvia finally got a clear look at the watch's owner. Her eyes widened in disbelief.
There were two... Chrises! The guy with the watch-despite the gash on his face-looked almost identical to Chris.
As Chris cleaned the wounds, two nurses at the station whispered to each other.
"Caleb He's so cool even beaten up.
at all like his brother, Dr Chris." "Right? Can you believe he's a pediatrician?" "I'd pay to see him sweet-talking a bunch of kids." By then, Chris had already started picking bits of helmet out of Caleb's face.
Sylvia raised her eyes and locked on to the diamond-shaped scar just above his eyebrow.
It suddenly overlapped with a memory from years ago-a doctor she'd never forget.
