He Chose the So-Called Sister Chapter 379: Kicking Julia Out

They were completely stunned, frozen in place.

How could anyone be this handsome?

It was almost unreal. Especially that smile—lazy, dangerous, breathtaking.

That shift from ice-cold to bad-boy charming—if Teresa saw him right now, she'd be knocked senseless.

"Did you hear that?" Lucas said calmly. "Sherry doesn't want to see her."

At that exact line, the hospital director rushed over.

He'd been watching from a distance, already informed of everything.

"Miss, I'm sorry. You need to leave."

Julia hadn't even finished enjoying her little victory before she was slapped down again.

"How dare you! You can't kick a patient out! Do you know who I am?!"

"Mr. Bode, I'm not asking you to leave. But this lady must.

"If you refuse, I'll call security. You're clearly unharmed and just causing a scene."

Julia snapped, "Wanna bet I expose your hospital?"

The director looked at her coldly. "Sorry, we don't have a dental department. We can't help with your... tooth. So quit making a scene."

Julia trembled with rage.

"No dentistry? In a hospital this size?!"

"Yes," the director said smoothly. "As of right now, we don't."

At that moment, the dental sign was being taken down.

In its place? A sign for proctology.

Julia stared in disbelief.

Even Sherry was shocked. They really just changed the entire department.

The speed was terrifying. Had he been waiting for her to speak?

Julia's only issue was her missing tooth. Making a scene here would only make her look more ridiculous.

She was escorted out immediately.

Gilbert wasn't removed—but without Julia, there was nothing for him to do.

Cathy stamped her foot in frustration and turned to Heather. "Miss Harrison, please, he's your family!"

Heather laughed awkwardly, "Lucas, you don't have to humiliate her like this..."

She talked and talked, but Lucas didn't even bother to answer.

The room went quiet, except for Sherry's weak, soft voice. "How did everyone move that fast?"

Sherry could barely believe it. She'd just watched proctology doctors walk into the old dental office.

There was no way this could happen so quickly. Unless—

"Did you... plan all of this from the start?"

Lucas didn't deny it.

"What if I hadn't said anything?"

Today, she went against her usual habit, and she didn't even know why she'd suddenly felt like speaking up.

Because Lucas really had guts.

He'd told her to just speak her mind, even if the things she wanted to say were things most people would never dare to utter in their entire lives.

Sherry decided she would be brave for once, too.

And she never expected it would work this well.

"Nothing you didn't want would have happened," Lucas said gently. "I told you before—if there's anything you want to do, tell me. Especially if someone pisses you off. If you say the word, I'll handle it."

He had said that before. But back then, she'd insisted on fighting alone.

Now she realized—no one won entirely by themselves. She could use the forces around her too.

Why did she have to carry everything?

Sherry wrapped her arms tighter around his neck.

"Anything?"

"Anything."

His answer was sharp and sure. She loved it.

No wonder Juan had once said, "Tell the boss. Let him deal with that bitch. He'll make her regret living."

Now it clicked—that's what Juan meant.

"But you were too fast," Sherry murmured. "Did you plan every possibility on the way here?"

A thought hit her. "Do you... always prepare everything... just waiting for me to ask?"

"I only prepare for safety. Nothing is ever 100% certain."

So he had arranged everything. But because she'd wanted to take revenge on her own, he'd held back.

He respected her choices. No complaints, no pressure.

Warmth spread through her.

Even though her body was still freezing cold, his back, and him, were enough to keep her warm.
