Kneeling for a Second Chance (Sebastian and Valeria) novel Chapter 104

104 /212

Sebastian tapped on the keyboard a few times and pulled up Selena's medical records. He then got up, walked over to Shawn with the laptop, and set it down.

"Take a look at this."

Shawn glanced at the computer before glancing at Sebastian's face.

Sebastian pinched the bridge of his nose. Then, he corrected himself with a low voice, "Dr. Gordon."

Shawn pushed up his glasses and said seriously, "Hey, that wound looks pretty deep. Why were you so careless? You clearly bumped into something by accident. Or was it a cat scratch? Maybe a mosquito bite?"

A female assistant beside him chuckled and chimed in, "Exactly. It looks like he tripped and fell on something."

Sebastian smiled helplessly and shook his head. He rarely smiled and rarely relaxed so much when he was at work. But when he did, his features were strikingly handsome.

He noticed the curious glances from the few who were in the office. Then, he said in a slightly husky voice, "Someone bit me."

In an instant, the office erupted.

Amid the teasing, Sebastian actually had a rare, slight blush on his face. Though it wasn't that noticeable, Shawn had caught it.

That normally cold, aloof, and hard-to-approach young man suddenly exuded a rare trace of warmth. He was even joking with his colleagues and didn't mind them gossiping about him.

Sebastian had always maintained a clear sense of distance from others in the hospital.

There was an innate sense of pride and nobility in his bones, and no one really dared to joke with him in the hospital. At most, people would just whisper behind his back.

Yet, that day, even after being teased to the point of blushing, Sebastian didn't seem the slightest bit angered.

Jamie even boldly threw an arm over Sebastian's shoulder. "Dr. Grant, I guess you've got something going on now. You should treat our department to a meal sometime."

Sebastian was clearly uncomfortable with someone putting an arm around him, but he didn't push Jamie away.

Jamie's arm was only over his shoulder for a very short while before she maintained Sebastian's boundaries and let go.

Sebastian paused slightly and glanced around at the few faces in the office before he nodded. "Alright. I'll treat everyone to a meal sometime."

Shawn looked at the file on the computer and leaned in to whisper into Sebastian's ear, "So you and that little girl's mother have something going on?"
