Chapter 64 I Have Claustrophobia
Kieran’s fierce voice came from the phone. “Brat, you’re finally willing to answer the call? Your mother said that you haven’t taken any medicine or treatment since you moved out of the villa. She can’t find you. Are you trying to wait for death somewhere?”
How could his grandfather have such an outrageous thought?
Grandpa, don’t listen to my mother’s nonsense. I’m not like what she said. I take medicine and treat myself on time every day. And in order for my body to recover faster, I even hired a professional doctor to take care of me, so you don’t have to worry.”
The reason why Marcus said this to Kieran was mainly to prevent him from worrying about Marcus.
Marcus also wanted Kieran to tell his mother that he already had a professional doctor taking care of him. She didn’t need to send Isolde over to bother him anymore.
When Kieran heard Marcus‘ words, he seemed to believe it. “Brat, are you saying this on purpose so that your mother won’t let that girl from the Huxley family bother you?”
His grandfather was indeed the person who understood him the most in the entire Hale family. “I really don’t want Isolde to bother me, but I’m not lying. I really found someone to take care of me. She’s sitting beside me now. If you don’t believe me, I’ll get her to talk to you.”
Kieran agreed and Marcus handed his phone to Celeste.
Celeste took it and said, “Hello, Kieran. I’m Marcus‘ personal doctor and caregiver, Dr. King. I’m sure you’ve heard of me.”
As soon as Celeste said this, Marcus looked at her in shock.
When Kieran heard this familiar voice on the other end of the line, he was a little surprised. Was this young lady who called herself Dr. King the Celeste that the Huxley family had just found?
This voice was very similar to hers.
However, because he didn’t see her, he wasn’t sure.
He only asked curiously, “I heard that your voice is quite young. You said that you’re Dr. King. Are you lying to me?”
Didn’t Marcus just say that he had found a doctor more powerful than Isolde to take care of him?
Other than Wesley, she was the only other doctor who was better than Isolde.
Therefore, in order to cover up for Marcus, she could only reveal her identity.
If they didn’t believe her, she didn’t intend to explain too much! Anyway, she wasn’t lying.
Thinking of this, Celeste said to Kieran on the other end of the line, “Who told you that a person with a young voice can’t be Dr. King?”
Her words seemed to make sense.
“You are right! The person with the young voice might also be Dr. King. Since my grandson is currently being taken care of by you, his parents and I can rest assured.”
Then Kieran asked Celeste to take good care of Marcus before hanging up.
Celeste held the phone and carefully recalled Kieran’s voice on the other end of the phone. It sounded a little familiar as if he had heard it somewhere before. Was it an illusion?
Celeste returned the phone to Marcus. “I’m sure your parents and grandfather won’t let Isolde take care of you anymore.”
Marcus chuckled and said, “But aren’t you exaggerating a little too much by pretending to be Dr. King? If my mother suddenly brings Wesley over to identify you, won’t you be exposed immediately?”
In Marcus‘ heart, Celeste was at most a little better at bandaging. He did not know how good his medical skills were.
Therefore, when he first heard her say that she was Dr. King, his first reaction was surprise, but after being surprised, he guessed that she was lying.
Someone who could be Wesley’s teacher should be older than 20 years old, right?
Therefore, Celeste should have been cooperating with him to cover up his lie.
Celeste glanced at Marcus and said, “As long as you don’t

“But just in case, I think I need to call Wesley in advance,” Marcus said.
It was unnecessary.
Wesley had already seen what she looked like under her mask, so if Marcus‘ mother really brought Wesley here to identify

her, he would also prove that she was Dr. King.
However, since Marcus wanted to remind Wesley so much, let him be
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. The delivery must have arrived. Celeste stood up from the sofa and skipped to the door to take the two takeaway bags from the delivery man.
Then, she closed the door and went to the dining table to place the dishes. Mr. Hale, it’s time to eat!
Marcus nodded. After sending Wesley a message, he picked up his phone and took a photo of Celeste before sending it to Wesley.
“In the future, whenever you see her by my side, tell my mother that she’s Dr. King”
Wesley was speechless.
She was Dr. King. Was there a need to say anything else?
Celeste heard a click and her gaze landed on Marcus. “Mr. Hale, were you secretly taking photos of me just now?”
Marcus put away his phone and stood up from the sofa to sit beside Celeste. “I didn’t take a secret photo because I took it openly.”
“So why did you take my picture?”
“Send it to Wesley and let him remember you. That way, when my mother comes looking for you, your fake identity won’t be exposed.”
Who was the fake identity?
She was clearly the real Dr. King.
Celeste could not be bothered to explain to Marcus. She continued eating.
After the meal, Marcus packed up the takeaway box and threw it out. He saw that Celeste was planning to go home.
He asked, “Aren’t you planning to continue staying for a while?”
“Do you need something from me?”
“No.”
Celeste opened the door and said, “Then I have no reason to stay any longer. I’ll go back first.”
As soon as Celeste finished speaking, she closed the door for Marcus and was about to leave. Marcus followed after her. “I‘ Il send you off.”
Celeste was about to say no when Marcus picked her up from the ground.
Afraid of falling, she subconsciously wrapped her arms around his neck.
“You’re holding me back and forth like this. Are you sure your wound is fine?”
Marcus said confidently, “With your weight, it’s not enough to cause any problems to my wound.”
Celeste was speechless.
Although she wasn’t heavy, she weighed at least 100 pounds.
Celeste leaned into Marcus‘ arms and entered the elevator with him.
As soon as the two of them entered, the elevator stopped.
Marcus and Celeste were stunned when they saw the pitch–black surroundings.
With a bang, Marcus fell to the ground with Celeste.
His breathing became heavier uncontrollably, and he began to tug at his tie forcefully.
When Celeste heard this strange sound, she ignored her painful back and quickly asked, “Mr. Hale, are you alright?” Marcus replied uncomfortably, “I’m claustrophobic.”
