The Luckiest Dumb Doctor

Chapter 401: Chapter 401 Unrelated to Passion_1

Greg Jensen felt secretly delighted, but when he turned his head to look, he noticed that the group had already changed the topic, and Julia Hall was still the one driving the atmosphere.

Lauren Barnett retorted sharply a few times, while Asher Green helped the other party out at the right time.

As for Samantha Adams, she sat quietly on the side the entire time, her face bearing a soft smile as she watched the three of them.

Whenever the conversation happened to steer towards her, she would simply smile and reply briefly before falling silent again.

Her tranquil and gentle demeanor made her stand out, which involuntarily made Greg think of Louisa Burley.

Because, to him, Louisa Burley also possessed that elusive, mysterious charm.

It had been a long time since he last saw Louisa Burley, but they often chatted on the phone, mostly about trivial matters in life.

Greg really liked this feeling, and it seemed Louisa didn’t mind either, otherwise, she wouldn’t have chatted with him for so long.

The reason he often chatted with Louisa was simply that he wanted to, wanting to understand that gentle and pleasant girl.

It had nothing to do with lust.

If Greg really had to pinpoint it, maybe it was fondness and love.

Actually, he was very clear about this in his heart, but after what happened with Cindy Harrison, he became very cautious about these feelings, fearing to suffer another betrayal and pain.

He would rather indulge in the desires stirred by people like Amelia Simmons, Chelsea Wolfe, and others than fall into another love from which he couldn’t extricate himself.

He wanted to cut off those feelings and bury them in the deepest recesses of his heart, but he found it hard to resist the mysterious allure of Louisa Burley.

That feeling was strange, Greg couldn’t explain it; he just felt that Louisa Burley was someone like him.

The girl named Samantha Adams before him also gave him this feeling.

However, he already had Louisa Burley, so he naturally didn’t bother to strike up a conversation or get to know the other person.

Greg closed his eyes to rest, and Cole Barnett beside him played with his phone, lost in his own world, while the four young people opposite them started talking again.

Now, the topic had returned to the Bright Strength Expert once more.

“With such skills, he must be very handsome, right?” Lauren Barnett asked almost dreamily.

Julia Hall curled his lips and said, “The Bright Strength Expert, you can tell from the nickname that he’s no good.”

Lauren Barnett glared at him and huffed, “I’m asking if he’s handsome, not if he’s a nice guy.

And besides, it’s not for you to judge whether he’s a good man or not. Do you even understand men?”

“I…”

“Do you know what kind of man women like?”

Julia Hall lost his temper, annoyed, “Don’t you women just like bad boys? But can bad boys bring you happiness?”

Lauren Barnett’s mockery was unabashed, “That’s right, bad boys indeed can’t bring us happiness, but they can bring us joy, can’t they?”

She sized up Julia Hall and snorted, “You’re also right about another thing—we women do like bad boys, but we’re fond of bad boys, not men who’ve gone bad.”

“You…”

Julia Hall’s face was full of frustration, and he turned to look at Asher Green, obviously seeking some support.

Asher Green just gave a wry smile, spreading his hands in a gesture of helplessness.

Samantha Adams’ face turned red as she struggled to hold back her laughter.

Snort!

Their conversation reached Greg’s ears, and he instinctively opened his eyes to look at Julia Hall, finding that he wasn’t exactly handsome.

Recalling Lauren Barnett’s recent words, Greg couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

To tell the truth, Julia Hall wasn’t ugly, but he was just not ugly—that’s all.

In fact, he was just an average Joe, the kind you couldn’t pick out of a crowd.

You can’t expect him to be very handsome, let alone expect him to charm thousands of young girls. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

But for people like Lauren Barnett and her peers, with their family backgrounds, it’s clear that an ordinary person just won’t do as a boyfriend.

Even if it’s just for fun, it still has to be with someone impressively handsome.

Otherwise, why would anyone want to play along with you?

Of course, Greg Jensen wasn’t mocking Julia Hall, he just found it funny, which is why he laughed out loud.

However, this action immediately set off Julia Hall’s emotions.

He glared fiercely at Greg Jensen and said, “Bro, are you laughing at me?”

“Uh, no, I didn’t mean it at all.”

Greg Jensen was taken aback for a moment, smiled kindly, intending to let the matter slide, but Julia Hall was not having any of it.

His eyes dark and brooding, he stared at Greg Jensen and said in a low voice, “It’s just a joke among a few friends, I have no objections to how they laugh at me.

But what are you, and what right do you have to laugh at me?”

Greg Jensen’s smile faded as his expression grew colder, and he responded flatly, “I said I wasn’t laughing at you. Whether you believe it or not is none of my concern!”

“You…”

“Julia Hall, let it go, don’t stoop to his level.”

Asher Green suddenly thought Greg Jensen looked vaguely familiar but couldn’t remember where he had seen him before. After pondering for a moment without an answer, he interrupted Julia Hall before he could continue.

Julia Hall gave Greg Jensen a resentful look, snorted coldly, and fell silent.

Asher Green then cast a serious glance at Greg Jensen and quietly comforted Julia Hall.

Lauren Barnett looked somewhat down on Julia Hall, but she was really just joking around. She didn’t expect it to escalate like this.

She felt somewhat annoyed and glared at Greg Jensen, “It’s our joke, what’s it to you? Get lost as far as you can!”

Greg Jensen’s brows furrowed, and Cole Barnett suddenly stood up and said coldly, “Young lady, you’d better shut up.

My boss can’t be bothered with you garbage, but you ought to have some self-awareness.”

“Who the hell are you calling garbage?”

Julia Hall jumped to his feet, ready to roll up his sleeves and start a fight.

This time, Asher Green didn’t stop him.

His gaze towards Greg Jensen also turned icy.

Just then, Samantha Adams suddenly stood up, looked at the electronic display next to her, and said, “That’s enough, it’s time to board. Let’s go.”

Seeing this, Asher Green hurriedly got up, patted Julia Hall’s shoulder, and signaled him to let it go.

“You’re lucky!”

Lauren Barnett also stood up, tugging at Julia Hall, “Let’s go, Julia Hall, don’t bother with him. We’re leaving.”

Julia Hall looked at Greg Jensen once more, then followed the other three toward the boarding gate.

Cole Barnett leaned in, lowered his voice, and said fiercely, “Boss, should we find someone…”

Greg Jensen gave a wry smile, “If I’m not mistaken, those few are from the Provincial City Martial Family, and they surely have bodyguards following them secretly.

And that man named Asher, he’s a Bright Strength Expert. What kind of person do you think we could find to take them down?”

Cole Barnett paused, then said, “Poison, assassination, as long as you’re willing to pay enough, there’s never a shortage of such people in the martial world.”

Greg Jensen shook his head, “Forget it, they’re just some spoiled kids. Let’s go.”

He knew that Cole Barnett was trying to show his loyalty, so he didn’t say anything further and led the way to the boarding gate.
