Love At The Right Price

Chapter 42

The next morning, Tamara woke up early and brought Frank to the hospital she had made an appointment at in advance.

Meanwhile, Harold rushed into Frank’s office with some documents, but Frank was nowhere to be seen. Instantly, Harold gave him a call.

The doctor was just about to ask the two about their usual body condition when Frank’s cell phone rang all of a sudden. And so, the man pointed to the door and signaled that he was going outside to take the call.

At that moment, Tamara didn’t really pay much heed and she merely nodded her head.

“Is there an urgent matter?” Frank walked out to the corridor and tapped to answer the phone.

Just then, Harold’s frantic voice rang out. “Boss, I heard that Evan has been in contact with Colt Enterprise and they’ve scheduled a meeting for this afternoon!”

“Today?” Frank frowned in response. He didn’t expect Evan to make a move so quickly.

“Alright, I understand. I’ll be back in the afternoon. Stay in the office and just come up with the collaboration proposal for Colt Enterprise.”

“Sure, I’ll make sure to prepare everything. See you soon.” After Frank had given his instruction, he hung up and walked back into the room.

The body check-up consisted of a routine check-up that included a blood test. Tamara had initially planned to get Frank to go through it by himself but she was mindful that he might jump to the wrong conclusion, so she ended up filling out a form and proceeding with a body check-up too.

During the process of withdrawing some blood, Tamara watched as the doctor inserted a long and wide needle into Frank’s inner elbow. She noticed that Frank remained expressionless throughout the

Subsequently, the doctor withdrew the needle from Frank’s vein. There was some blood on the tip and she shivered out of fear.

Thereafter, Frank got up to give up his spot for her, but she remained stuck in her original position. There was a frown on her face and she hesitated to make a move.

Meanwhile, the doctor piped up, “Miss Randall, it’s your turn.”

At that point, Tamara finally came to her senses and she took a seat, albeit unwillingly, before stretching out her arm.

She watched as the doctor wrapped a tourniquet around her arm and through clenched teeth, she thought, Whatever! This won’t take too long. It won’t hurt. She repeatedly convinced herself in her mind as she turned her head in the other direction to avoid looking at what was going on.

At that moment, she sensed someone applying some antiseptic on her arm with a cotton bud, and her entire body trembled out of fear.

Meanwhile, Frank looked at her terrified expression and somehow, his thoughts went to the huge scar on her back. Instantly, his expression darkened. How did she even survive that back then?

He quickly took two steps forward and comfortingly hugged her head while speaking in a soft voice. “It’s fine. It won’t hurt and everything will be over really soon.”

Tamara froze and her heart skipped a beat as she caught the slight fresh-mint scent from his body.

When she had come to her senses, the doctor had already withdrawn the needle and had reached out to press a cotton ball on her injection site.

The doctor glanced at them and spoke up admiringly. “Miss Randall, your boyfriend’s so attentive.”

“He’s not my boyfriend.” She blushed red and before she could finish her sentence, Frank had interjected, “I’m her husband.”

At that moment, Tamara shot a look at Frank but she couldn’t come up with anything to rebuke his words, so she ended up silently admitting it.

It didn’t take too long for everything to be completed and the doctor instructed them to come back the following week for the report. Subsequently, they were free to leave.

It was still quite early and since it was barely 12 PM, both of them arrived back home to a quiet house. Tim had left for kindergarten so there was no one else at home.

Just then, Tamara decided to go upstairs to change her clothes. She grabbed her bag and was about to walk off when Frank grabbed her arm. Surprised, she turned around to look at him with a slightly confused look. “What is it?”

“Don’t forget to have some lunch. You just had some blood taken from your body so if you find yourself feeling dizzy, just have some chocolates.” Frank suddenly conjured up a few pieces of chocolates and handed them to her.

At that moment, Tamara felt a fuzzy feeling arise within her as she took the chocolates from him. In the end, she put them into her bag before walking off.
