Rebirth: Top Actress, Your Big Shot Husband is Jealous Again!-Chapter 672: Siblings with Different Surnames
When Joanna Ramsey spoke, Victor Bennett paused for a moment, but it wasn’t surprising.
It seems that people in the medical profession often have a bit of a cleanliness obsession, so Victor Bennett didn’t think much of it.
However, this was the first time he met Joanna Ramsey’s family.
As a child, he could remember things.
But at that age, children only remember what they eat and play with every day, not deep family matters.
So, he wasn’t very clear about Joanna Ramsey’s family.
However, Joanna went to a prestigious kindergarten when she was young, so when he learned she was working everywhere and renting a small rundown apartment.
He was quite surprised, but Joanna could easily brush it off with a few words.
This time was his first formal meeting with her family. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
But unexpectedly, the one he met turned out to be her brother...
Suddenly, Victor Bennett’s expression became somewhat strange.
No wonder this girl refused to make a pact with him to be siblings; she already had a brother.
This thought left Victor Bennett feeling a bit lost, a mystery even to himself.
"Haha, I see. But I didn’t expect your brother to work here, quite a coincidence," he said with a chuckle.
Joanna Ramsey tugged at the corner of her mouth but found she couldn’t quite smile.
She was about to step away from Richard Shaw but had forgotten, in her moment of panic, she had grabbed the sleeve of Richard Shaw’s lab coat.
As she tried to step away, her hand was quickly held.
The icy sensation made Joanna Ramsey’s face lose all color, turning pale, and her whole body stiffened.
"Is Mr. Bennett uncomfortable?" Richard Shaw held Joanna Ramsey’s hand while speaking to Victor Bennett.
Victor Bennett looked at their joined hands, inexplicably feeling uneasy inside.
And what about the supposed cleanliness obsession?
But considering they were siblings, he didn’t dwell too much on it, even though it left him feeling a bit uncomfortable.
"Yes, just a minor injury."
Victor Bennett responded vaguely, thinking that it’s not a great impression for Joanna Ramsey’s family upon first meeting.
"If you don’t mind, I can personally check you," Richard Shaw politely offered.
Victor Bennett hesitated, feeling a bit embarrassed, but thinking of Joanna Ramsey’s family, he didn’t refuse and nodded.
"Alright, thank you, Mr. Ramsey," Victor Bennett said with a smile.
Richard Shaw paused slightly at the words, looked at him, and said indifferently.
"My surname is Shaw."
With that, he turned and quickly pulled Joanna Ramsey into the elevator.
Watching their backs, Victor Bennett’s smile faded, replaced with a probing gaze.
Inexplicably, seeing Joanna Ramsey’s hand held by another man made him feel stifled.
Even though that man was her brother.
But...
Thinking about their different surnames, a hint of suspicion flickered in Victor Bennett’s eyes.
...
The two of them entered the elevator first, while Victor Bennett was a bit slower.
Joanna Ramsey was almost unable to stand.
"Can you let go of me?"
It was only then that Richard Shaw realized the girl’s voice had changed, and that hand was cold without a trace of warmth, even colder than his own.
This realization made the man’s eyes turn cold instantly, and he let go of Joanna Ramsey’s hand without hesitation.
It was as if he hadn’t been the one holding her just a moment ago...
Victor Bennett, oblivious, entered the elevator as the two of them went straight up to the third floor.
Though it was a private hospital, even a regular ward was quite luxurious.
But the third floor was the epitome of luxury, and the whole floor was so quiet that Victor Bennett wondered if anyone was actually there...
