Chapter 501 Don't Be Too Harsh
"Nancy, what's wrong?"
Keith noticed Nancy's condition and hurriedly ran over to ask.
"I... I'm fine. Leave me alone!"
Nancy covered her stomach, trying to stay strong and pushed the man away.
But the wrenching pain in her gut was unbearable, and she was almost in tears.
"Don't be stubborn. You don't look fine at all. And your face... your face..."
Keith stared at her face, swallowing hard, clearly taken aback.
"What's wrong with my face?"
"N-Nothing."
Keith tried to help Nancy again. "Let's go to the hospital right away. If we wait any longer, something
serious might happen."
"You're lying. There must be something wrong with my face."
Nancy was sweating from the pain, unable to stand steadily. She had to let Keith support her. She took
out her phone to check, and let out a terrified scream, "Ah!"
Her face, reflected in the phone screen, was swollen like a pig's head, with her eyes and lips distorted.
"Don't worry, it must be an allergic reaction. I'll take you to the hospital right away."
Keith acted decisively, picking up Nancy without asking for her consent, and rushed to the nearest
hospital, not even having time to notify Shirley and the others.
They arrived at the hospital and registered for an emergency. When the doctor saw Nancy's condition,
even he was taken aback.
"My goodness, how did it swell up like this?"
"Doctor, am I beyond saving? Am I going to die?"
"It's not that bad, but your condition is quite severe..."
The doctor couldn't help but glance at Nancy again, almost feeling nauseous, and tried to maintain a

After testing for the allergen, Keith and Nancy sat in the hallway waiting for the results.
"Woohoo, I'm ruined! I'll be disfigured and turn into a pig!"
Nancy covered her face, crying like a pig, "Just as my brother jinxed. I'll never get married. No man
would marry a pig-headed woman. I'm done for!"
"It's not that serious. Once we have the results, we'll treat it accordingly."
Keith patted the woman's shoulder and couldn't help teasing, "Besides, looking like a pig's head is kind
of cute. I love pigs."
"Keith, have you no humanity? I'm like this, and you're still making fun of me. I'll kill you!"
Nancy was about to explode. With a red and swollen face, she lunged at the man to teach him a
lesson.
During their scuffle, the woman's back bumped into someone.
Looking back, she saw a tall man wearing a white coat, scholarly and handsome, with a gentle and
calm demeanor.
The two stared at each other for a few seconds before Nancy immediately covered her face and
wanted to hide.
"Nancy?"
The man in the white coat hesitated and called out tentatively.
Seeing Nancy's reaction, he was sure and quickly followed her.
"It's not me. You've got the wrong person!’
Nancy ran and waved her hands.
She wanted to find something to cover her face, but she couldn't find anything. She had no choice but
to use Keith as a shield, afraid that the man in the white coat would see her face.
Because the man in the white coat was none other than the liar who played with her feelings! That so-
called medical prodigy and also her first love, Cordell Norman!!!
Stepping on dog poop wasn't embarrassing, but stepping on it and being seen by your ex was the most
embarrassing thing.
At this moment, with her pig-headed face, she was more humiliated than stepping on dog poop, and
she didn't want Cordell to see her like this!
"Nancy, stop hiding, I know it's you."
Cordell cherished the chance to meet Nancy again, and his tone was very excited.
Keith stood between them. His figure was even more imposing than Cordell's, like a mountain in the
way, driving Cordell crazy.
"Sir, please step aside, I have something to say to Nancy.’ Left with no other choice, Cordell politely
asked Keith.
Keith, on the other hand, looked arrogantly over Cordell's head. ’Which short guy is talking? I can’t
hear."
An assistant standing next to Cordell protested, "What's with your attitude? Dr. Norman is an expert
hired by our hospital at a high salary, a true young talent. His height is not something you, a pretty boy,
can reach!"
"So, you admit that your doctor is short, too?"
"Dr. Norman is not short! He's 5 feet 10 inches tall, 5 feet 12 inches with shoes on. How is that short..."
The assistant looked up at Keith, who was at least 6 feet 2 inches and said with uncertainty, "It's just
that, indeed, you are taller."
Keith, with a smug look on his face, looked down at Cordell, who was shorter by a head. "So calling
you a shorty is not offensive, right? Shorty?"
"You!"
The assistant was so angry that he wanted to jump up and hit him.
Cordell waved his hand, signaling the assistant not to argue, then showed a professional smile. "Sir, I
don't think we have any grudges against each other, so why do you have such hostility towards me?"
"For no reason, I just don't like the look of you, shorty."
Keith put his hands in his pockets, and the disdain in his eyes was evident.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIf it hadn't been for Nancy, this little doctor wouldn't have even been qualified to talk to him.
Nancy hid behind Keith, listening to their conflict and feeling a little guilty. She gently tugged at the
man's clothes. "Keith, that's enough. Don't be too harsh."
"Didn't you say that this man hurt you deeply? I haven't even attacked him yet, and you already go
soft?"
Keith slightly turned his head and glanced at the cowardly Nancy and said, not showing his actual
feelings.
Nancy was taken aback. "How did you know..."
"What do you think?"
The man irritably pinched Nancy's ear. "Look at yourself. It's just your ex. Can't you behave better?"
Nancy was speechless.
She felt embarrassed and covered her head in silence.
Being allergic and having a pig-like face was already embarrassing enough when meeting her ex-
boyfriend. And now her love interest was watching the drama unfold. She felt utterly humiliated, as if
she couldn’t go on living!
"Nancy, your report is ready!"
Someone from the laboratory department, holding the report, informed the woman, "Seafood mixed
with mango caused the allergy. The situation is a bit serious. We recommend you see Dr. Norman, as
he's an expert in this field..."
"Give me the report.’
Cordell snatched the test report directly from the lab doctor's hand, looking at the data on it, and kept
frowning. "Nancy, why didn't you listen? I specifically warned you before that you might be allergic to
both mango and seafood. Eating them separately is fine, but mixing them together can cause big
problems. Especially seafood. You can't overeat it, or it can cause shock!"
"You... you had an allergic reaction to seafood?"
Seeing that she couldn't hide it any longer, Nancy finally weakly nodded. "Just a little."
"Damn it, why didn't you tell me?!"
Keith suddenly realized that he had caused a big mess and felt extremely guilty.
