"You learned that from me, so stop it! Whatever! That's not the point. Joshua, get up! Tell me why my girl has become your girlfriend!" That was why Sheffield was at Joshua's place.

Joshua was fully awake now. "It was her idea."

"And you agreed?"

"Yes. Evelyn's really attractive. I finally understood why you couldn't resist her, neither could I. I too want to snuggle up in her arms—"

Sheffield jumped on the bed, pinned him down and rained blows all over his body. "Asshole! Break up with her! Right now!"

"Woah! Stop it. Be careful, man! My grandma will beat you to death with her walking stick!" Joshua whined in pain. That successfully froze Sheffield.

He got goose bumps all over his body as he stole a glance around Joshua's room. "Sorry Grandma, I won't hit him anymore. Please rest in peace and don't come for me," Sheffield murmured.

When Joshua's grandmother was still alive, the old lady would always threaten to beat the naughty boys up with her crutch.

Joshua laughed at his friend's reaction and then said, "Don't worry. I'm more interested in the younger sister." He pulled the thin quilt up to his chest and took a cigarette from the night stand.

"The younger one? But you're dating Evelyn now. Aren't you afraid that their father will break your leg?"

Sheffield and Joshua were still ignorant of who Evelyn's father was. They had a hunch that he was someone with incredible power; probably some sort of legend.

Sheffield never looked deep into Evelyn's background even after knowing her true identity.

Joshua didn't know because his mother never filled him in about his blind date's family background.

"I'm not afraid. I'll just sit and watch what happens. After you successfully win Evelyn over, I will go after Terilynn." 'You wish.' Sheffield rolled his eyes at Joshua.

He lit a cigarette. Taking a drag, he said, "It's not gonna be as simple as you think. What if Terilynn already has someone she loves?"

Joshua nodded, "She does. Evelyn's bodyguard."

"Are you serious?" Sheffield asked, as he imagined the tough, no-bullshit Tayson falling in love with someone. "So, knowing that she loves another man, you still want her?"

"Do you think I'm no match for a bodyguard?" Joshua cast him a sidelong glance.

"Of course, you can outmatch the bodyguard. Just as I can outmatch you!" Sheffield put out his cigarette and got up from the bed to leave.

"Wait! How is your research going? I haven't seen you work on it lately."

Sheffield looked at his wristwatch to check the time. "It's still under repeated experiments. The results will be out soon."

"Soon? You've already invested a billion dollars in the research. Why haven't you given up yet? You're insane!" If he had a billion dollars, he would have invested it all and lived off the proceeds.

"You're wrong." Sheffield turned around and met his friend's gaze.

"What?"

"So far, I've invested 3.3 billion dollars. I'm gonna run out of money before I finish the research." He then muttered to himself, "I don't even know if I can afford to buy her a gem. I should probably put that idea to rest."

Joshua flicked the ash from his cigarette. "There's someone I know who might need your help. He said that he has a strange disease. Why don't you go see this patient and demand a high fee? You'll be rich again, my friend."

Sheffield's grandfather, Mooney Tang, had great talent in traditional Chinese medicine back when he was alive; very few contemporary doctors could compare to him. Before he had passed away, he left his hand-written notes of traditional Chinese medicine to Sheffield. The members of the Tang family scrambled for the book, and some even hired men from the gangland to assassinate Sheffield to obtain the notes.

Keeping the book in his person had proved dangerous. Since he had extremely good memory, Sheffield had hidden himself for more than a year and memorized the contents of the book. After that, he burned the book in a high profile manner, letting everybody know that the book did not exist anymore.

For this reason, the Tang family broke all ties with him. Sheffield's relationship with his father was bad in the first place, and now, it had gone completely south.

Sheffield was an expert in Western medicine too. With the combined knowledge of Chinese and Western medicine, he cured a lot of patients with knotty diseases. But, he didn't accept many cases.

No matter how much money people gave him, he refused to see any of them. So far, he had been working in Y City First General Hospital, maintaining a low profile. He didn't want to attract too much attention to himself.

Joshua thought that Sheffield would turn down this case too, but the doctor's reply surprised him. "How much will he pay?" Sheffield asked.

"Money is not a problem, as long as you can cure him."

"Okay. Ask him to contact me." Before closing the door, he added, "Break up with my woman."

Joshua shook his head, sighing with a smile.

Evelyn was a beautiful woman with fair skin and a good figure. It was such a shame that she had given herself to Sheffield, the mad doctor.

After leaving Joshua's house, Sheffield drove back to the hospital. As he was waiting for the traffic light at a crossroad, he noticed a tattoo shop.

A bold idea came to his mind. He turned the car around and rolled up in front of the shop. He hurried into the shop and got the letters "EH" imprinted on his chest.

After that was done, he headed straight to ZL group to see Evelyn.

At the entrance of ZL group

The red convertible sports car came to a sudden halt. Sheffield watched the employees walk out of the company one by one.

He waited for half an hour, but there was no trace of Evelyn.

He took out his phone and dialed Joshua's number. "Send a message to Evelyn and tell her that I'm waiting for her at the entrance of her company. If she doesn't come down in ten minutes, I'll go and search each and every floor for her. And tell her that I will shout 'I love you' when I find her."

"You're out of your mind!" Joshua replied with a scoff.

Nonetheless, after hanging up, he immediately conveyed the message to Evelyn.

When she saw Joshua's message, it was already past ten minutes. Her heart skipped a beat. Before Sheffield could really come upstairs, she hastily ran downstairs without even tidying up her work.

When she walked out of the company, she saw the man waiting outside, wearing a long coat and a light gray woolen sweater. His long legs looked sexy in gray trousers.

He looked very stylish in the outfit.

With a bunch of flowers in his hand, he walked towards the entrance of the company.

It was already past the peak hour of clocking off, but there were still many employees around.

He was really eye-catching with the red convertible sports car, his handsome face, and the bouquet of fresh flowers in his hands. This instantly attracted many people's attention. Some women even ran over to him and asked him whom he was looking for.

Sheffield had already spotted Evelyn. He couldn't take his eyes off her.

The two employees who had approached him turned around and caught a glimpse of Evelyn. Their facial expressions changed abruptly and they left in a hurry.

Sheffield walked slowly towards her. She felt like he was walking into her heart.

Her heart was pounding rapidly in her chest, though she effortlessly wore an expressionless face. She controlled her emotion, and indifferently asked the man standing in front of her, "What?"

After slightly smelling the purple flowers in his hand, Sheffield came closer to her to hand her the bouquet and flashed his charming smile. "Even if you torture me a hundred times, you are still my first love."
