Chapter 147
The already cold atmosphere around Nicholas instantly plummeted further.
Nathan shivered, but he couldn’t keep his mouth shut. He had to keep teasing. “Oh, and look at the way Dr. Dawson is looking at Miss Lancaster… Now that’s what I call pure admiration p>
Nicholas shot a sideways glance at Nathan.
The chill in his eyes was practically overflowing.
Nathan immediately mimed zipping his lips. He would shut up and enjoy the show. Nicholas strode forward, his long, straight legs covering the distance in an instant.
His tall, imposing figure carried an intense, oppressive aura as he forcefully inserted himself between the two.
He didn’t say a word.
He just stood there.
Eric, who had been chattering away, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and couldn’t help but shiver.
He looked up and met the man’s cold, commanding gaze.
He jumped, instinctively shrinking back. “Mr… Mr. Blackwood p>
Nicholas only gave him a brief glance before turning to Serena. “Brianna is about done with her check-up. She’s been asking for you, worried you might have left.” His voice was lazy, but it was laced with ice.
“Ahem p>
Eric swallowed hard, his eyes darting between Serena and Nicholas.
Cold sweat poured down his back.
“Uh, I just remembered, I have an important meeting about a critical case. Boss, Mr. Blackwood, I’ve gotta run p>
Eric spoke at lightning speed. Without waiting for Serena’s reply, he turned and fled.
Even though Mr. Blackwood wasn’t looking at him, his presence was just too terrifying.
He knew when to make himself scarce.
Eric beat a hasty retreat.
Serena raised an eyebrow and looked up at Nicholas.
The man’s eyes were dark, the slight narrowing at the corners casting a layer of icy frost over his already devilishly handsome face.
She asked, “Why did you scare him p>
The moment Eric was gone, the man’s entire aura changed, the coldness vanishing from his eyes.
He lifted his thin lips into a smile, open and unapologetic. “I was jealous p>
That smile was wickedly alluring, both dangerous and seductive, and it seemed almost predatory under the lights.
It was dazzling.
Serena’s heart gave a barely perceptible flutter.
She averted her gaze, avoiding the man’s scorching stare. “What’s there to be jealous about p>
With that, she started walking toward the examination room.
Her pace, however, was noticeably faster than usual.
Nicholas watched her retreating back, his captivating, almond-shaped eyes filled
with depth. A faint, sexy smile played on his lips.
His soft laugh was lazy and sensual.
Then, he started after her, his pace unhurried.
Brianna’s test results were good, and she was cleared for discharge that afternoon.
Brianna was so excited she hugged Serena tightly, nuzzling her head into Serena’s embrace. “Oh, thank goodness you

The soft, fragrant feel of her fluffy hair made Serena’s crimson lips
curve into a smile. She gently patted Brianna’s head. “Congratulations getting out p>
Nicholas, holding the discharge papers, watched the two girls hugging, his sharp eyes deepening.
His gaze finally settled on the hand Serena had placed on Brianna’s head.
His stare was so intense that Serena found it impossible to ignore.
She lifted her clear, cool eyes. “You’re not going to be jealous of your own sister, are

When this man got jealous, he really spared no one.
Serena took Brianna’s wrist and tilted her head. “Come on, I’m taking you somewhere p>
Brianna’s eyes lit up instantly, and she nodded excitedly.
Serena looked up at Nicholas again. “If you have things
