Chapter 721 Calm Yourself Down!
Anthony leaned back in his chair, giving Sarah a soft smile. "What's up? If it's something I can handle, I'm all in."
Sarah felt a bit awkward; doctors shouldn't spill patient secrets just like that.
But she was desperate.
And it was for Antonio's sake.
She blurted out, "I need a favor. Can you check today's patient info at your hospital?"
Worried Anthony might say no, she quickly added, "I swear I won't snoop on other patients. It's about my husband. He had a check-up today, and I think he's hiding something from me."
She gave a weak smile, "If I ask him, he'll just dodge the question. Not knowing is driving me nuts."
Anthony frowned, thinking it over.
Doctors really shouldn't spill patient info.
But since it was about Sarah's husband and she was pregnant, her stress could affect the baby.
"Sometimes you gotta bend the rules," Anthony said, adjusting his glasses. "I'll help you out."
Sarah let out a sigh of relief, "Thank you so much."
"No worries," Anthony replied softly.
After they finished eating, Anthony wiped his mouth and said, "I'm on night duty tonight. I was gonna head back to work after dinner, and you can come with me if you want. The sooner you know, the better you'll feel."
Sarah thanked him again, jumping up excitedly, "Can we go now?"
"Sure thing."
They walked out together, and Anthony checked his watch. "I drove here. Hang tight while I get the car."
Sarah nodded and waited.
Anthony soon pulled up with the car. He got out, took Sarah's bag, and opened the passenger door for her. "Ladies first, Ms. Miller."
Sarah was taken aback for a second, then laughed.
"Just curious, Mr. Thomas, when did you become such a gentleman?"
Country J wasn't exactly known for chivalry.
But Anthony was the real deal.
As they chatted, they didn't notice a car pulling up nearby.
Antonio stepped out and saw Anthony being all chivalrous with Sarah.
He hadn't expected to see Anthony opening the car door for her and holding her bag!
'What the hell is Anthony doing?' he thought, fuming.
And the worst part? Sarah was smiling at him!
What was that about?
Passersby couldn't help but glance at the good-looking couple and say, "Look at that lovely couple; they seem so in love!"
Antonio was boiling over.
Already a bit drunk, his anger flared up. He couldn't hold back and stormed over.
Sarah was about to get in the car when her wrist was suddenly grabbed, hard.
"You're not getting in his car!" Antonio's voice was dripping with anger. Sarah spun around, shocked to see Antonio standing there. "Benjamin! What are you doing here?"
"What am I doing here?" Antonio shot back, his face dark with rage, barely holding back a shout. "If I hadn't shown up, were you just gonna leave with him?"
Before Sarah could respond, Antonio let go of her hand and swung a punch at Anthony, landing it square on his face. "Stay away from Sarah! She's not yours to mess with!"
Sarah screamed, "What the hell are you doing?"
She never thought Antonio would get violent!
Anthony, caught off guard, stumbled back, blood trickling from his mouth.
Even with his usually calm demeanor, Anthony frowned. "Dude, can we just talk this out? Or do you wanna take this to the cops?"
Anthony felt totally blindsided. He'd been turned down by Sarah and now got punched for it.
Sarah, worried Anthony might press charges, rushed to his side, checking him over.
"Mr. Thomas, are you okay?" she asked, her voice full of concern.
Anthony wiped the blood from his mouth, feeling like he'd just had the worst luck ever. But he softened his tone, knowing it wasn't Sarah's fault. "I'm fine."
Their little moment of concern only made Antonio angrier.
His jaw clenched, eyes burning with cold fury.
"Are you losing it?" Sarah yelled at Antonio, pulling tissues from her bag. "You think you're so tough, hitting people for no reason?"
Anthony might be a nice guy, but he had every right to press charges!
Antonio watched as she gently dabbed at Anthony's mouth, her touch careful and tender.
He took a deep breath and grabbed Sarah's hand. "You're coming with me!"
"I'm not going anywhere," Sarah snapped, shaking him off. "Aren't you gonna apologize to Anthony? He has a night shift at the hospital! How's he supposed to work after you hit him?"
Right now, Antonio looked like a total jerk to Sarah.
She turned to Anthony, full of apologies. "I'm really sorry. I didn't think he'd get so worked up. I apologize for him."
Her tone was so different.
Antonio felt a sharp pain in his chest. Sarah was totally siding with Anthony!
His fists clenched, itching to punch Anthony again.
"So, you're not coming with me?" Antonio's voice shook, his eyes bloodshot. He pointed at Anthony, "You wanna go with him?"
Seeing the hurt in his eyes, Sarah felt a pang of guilt, but Antonio was way out of line. He didn't ask anything, just hit Anthony. Did he think that was okay?
She was fuming!
"Yes!" Sarah pushed Antonio aside and got in the car with Anthony.
She planned to go to the hospital to check Antonio's records, but how could she know he'd show up and make a scene?
But nothing was gonna stop her from finding out the truth.
After Antonio's jerk move, she didn't feel like explaining anything.
