บททั้งหมดของ The Brilliant Second Life of Doctor 'Vicious' Harper: บทที่ 21 - บทที่ 30

Sure enough, not long after, Chase returned, his face dark.“Harper, why is there a man in the bathtub?”She had no idea how to explain. Pretending to still be drunk, she murmured, “Uh… I feel awful… I want to vomit…”He ignored everything else and pressed down on her, forcing her hand open, demanding, “Tell me—who is that man in the living room?”Harper cursed Carissa for not being home to explain the high-tech product to him herself.She lifted her eyes to meet his almost predatory gaze and said slowly, “He’s… my roommate’s…”Before she could finish, Chase frowned, serious, cutting her off sharply.“Harper! Do you know what you’re doing? Tell me—this person… alive or dead?”Her breath caught, and a sly smile tugged at her lips. “Do you think it’s alive?”Chase’s face turned ashen, co

Harper’s hangover hadn’t worn off. She had planned to skip work for the day, but Dr. Winston immediately rejected her leave request over the phone.Resigned, she had no choice but to endure the headache and head to the lab.Thanks to her decisive performance in the recent rescue, Harper had earned Director Tuck’s trust.Not only was she entrusted with Belinda’s case, but she was also given a new, highly sensitive assignment.A wealthy heiress returning to Belvia City had volunteered to be a “human guinea pig” for the GG Group’s new PD drug trial, dedicating herself to science.In the office, Tuck’s face was slightly serious. After careful consideration, he couldn’t resist giving a few extra instructions.“Dr. Harper, Miss Willow is officially joining our research group today. You are her attending experimenter. Be extremely careful with the drug protocol. Understood?”Harper skimmed

Harper’s precise and confident movements left Chase momentarily frozen, forgetting all thought of resistance.Seeing his elegant middle finger pierced by her needle, he could hardly contain his fury.“What… are you doing?!” His bloodshot eyes locked onto her face, teeth gritted.Harper, completely focused, twisted the needle slightly. “Feeling less like coughing?”Only then did Chase realize his breathing had eased.Without waiting for a reply, she checked his pulse again, confirming her assessment. Her eyes darkened slightly as she swiftly and cleanly withdrew the needle.Chase gasped sharply from the sudden pain.Harper turned, carrying the evening gown to the bathroom.When she emerged, it was as if she had transformed. She looked ethereal, radiant, every movement captivating—an otherworldly beauty.Chase’s gaze flickered, and for a moment, he forgot the pain in his hand.Sitting ca

A tense silence fell.Thinking she had narrowly avoided embarrassment, Harper relaxed slightly—but then Chase spoke again. “Stay away from Franky.”The command surprised her. She raised an eyebrow. “I was hoping he would keep his distance.”Chase studied her in the dim light. Her delicate face radiated determination.Her slender body seemed to him to contain immense strength—a spirit that refused to submit, always standing up for what was right. No wonder Franky had warned him: this girl was not to be tamed.The more he sensed her independence, the stronger his desire grew to dominate, to discover the hidden power she harbored.He leaned in closer.Harper’s breath caught. The crisp scent emanating from him made her pulse skip.“Franky warned me… you’re not easily tamed.”Her lips twitched. “Am I a wild horse? What’s with all the taming talk?”He igno

The next morning, Harper and Carissa had breakfast together before heading to work.After the daily morning meeting, the experimental group followed Tuck on their routine rounds.Harper, still worried about Belinda, went straight to her ward.Reese was there too.Her white shirt and casual trousers gave her a striking, heroic air. Harper secretly admired her—this woman was effortlessly stunning.“Dr. Harper!” Belinda looked vibrant and energetic.Harper approached to check her wounds and was relieved to see they were already scabbed over.“Thanks for the snacks yesterday, Reese,” Harper said, glancing at her.“I wasn’t sure what you girls liked, so I just grabbed some things,” Reese replied casually.“You girls…” Harper twitched at the phrasing.Belinda chuckled, teasing Reese. “You see? Rough guys like him can’t unders
