The Doctor Who Learned Love Too Late Chapter 06

The Doctor Who Learned Love Too Late Chapter 06

Landon had his own formula running inside him. 

Once he received the clear conclusion that we had 

broken up, he should have plugged it into that 

formula. 

From then on, it should have been as if I had never 

existed in his life. 

He wouldn’t appear again. Even if we met, we 

would be strangers. 

The next day, he showed up again. 

“Why are you here again?” I found it absurd. 

As if he couldn’t read the disgust on my face, he 

said seriously, “I won’t let Chloe into the house 

again.” 

“If she comes over, I’ll make her wait outside. I 

won’t let her in, and I won’t drive her home either.” 

I couldn’t help laughing. 

“Landon, you’re like a student who copied the answer but didn’t understand a single step of the solution.” 

I was baffled. 

Honestly, it felt surreal. 

“You memorized the correct behavior, but you 

don’t know why it’s correct. So next time, you’ll 

make the same mistake again, because once the question changes, you won’t know what to do.” 

His brows drew together in confusion. 

“When it comes to relationships,” I shook my head, 

“you really are a terrible student.” 

I remembered when we first met. 

My friend Lily had fractured a bone and gone to 

the hospital. Landon was her doctor. 

The first time I saw him, I thought he was 

handsome, but cold. 

Later, one day, I saw Landon crouched near the 

door to the fire escape, holding a cat treat and 

feeding a skinny orange cat. 

After the cat finished eating, it immediately turned 

on him and scratched his hand. A thin red line 

appeared at once. 

Landon lowered his head and looked at the back 

of his hand. 

He stared at it expressionlessly for two seconds. 

The cat seemed to know it had caused trouble. It 

meowed and shrank back. 

He sighed, then with that same cold face, pulled 

another treat from his pocket and held it out. 

His movements didn’t change. 

His tone didn’t change either, still that almost 

mechanical indifference. 

Then he gently stroked the cat’s back to calm it. 

I stood around the corner and watched for a long 

time. 

After that, I started pursuing him and tried to ask 

him out. Every time, he rejected me. 

So I thought, forget it. He doesn’t like me. 

After Lily was discharged, I never went back to the 

hospital. 

One evening two weeks later, I had just walked out 

of my office building when I saw Landon 

downstairs. 

I walked over quickly. 

“Dr. Landon, why are you here?” 

He asked, “Why haven’t you been coming to the 

hospital?” 

I froze. 

“You didn’t want to see me, so I stopped going.” 

He frowned. 

“Who said I didn’t want to see you?” 

“Landon, are you joking?” 

I truly thought he was joking, so, for some reason, 

I blurted out, “Then agree to be my boyfriend, and 

I’ll go again.” 

I thought he would call me boring. 

Instead, he said, “Okay.” 

I stood there stunned for at least five seconds. 

“Do you actually know what boyfriend means?” 

He didn’t answer. 

He only pulled me into the passenger seat, fastened my seat belt, asked for my address, and drove me home. 

But even after we got together, he didn’t really 

change. 

I thought that was just the kind of person he was. 

Until Chloe came back from out of town. 

That was when I learned he did make exceptions. 

I just wasn’t one of them.
