Eleven Years All to the Wrong Man novel Chapter 33

Emma furrowed her brow, looking at Nathan in complete confusion.

She thought there might be something wrong with the doctor in front of her. He spoke in riddles, his meaning unclear.

Seeing that Emma didn't seem to understand him, Nathan inwardly sighed at the woman's denseness while also thinking he needed to be more direct.

“What I mean is, if you choose chemotherapy, for a long time to come, you won't be able to…” Nathan paused for a second before continuing, “entertain men with your looks.”

What?

Entertain men with her looks?

Emma looked horrified, then stared at Nathan as if he were a madman.

“Mr. Allen, do you have any idea what you’re saying?”

Emma was baffled. What did he mean, ‘entertain men with her looks’? When had she ever done that? It was a good thing she was patient; anyone else would have probably slapped him across the face by now.

“Is what I’m saying that hard to understand, Ms. Hayes? If I’ve made you uncomfortable, I apologize. That’s just how I am. I don’t like to beat around the bush. I say what I mean, so don’t take it personally.”

With that, Nathan stood up, completely oblivious to his own arrogance, and walked toward the office door.

“Where are you going?”

“What do you mean by that?”

Even the best temper would snap in a situation like this.

Emma strode over and grabbed the man’s arm just as he was about to leave the office. “I’d appreciate it if you’d explain yourself, Mr. Allen. How exactly am I entertaining men with my looks? Do you just go around making baseless, dirty accusations? Is this what you doctors call professionalism?”

Pulled back forcefully by the woman, Nathan had no choice but to stop. He closed his eyes for a moment, then turned around.
