"You, aren't you not afraid of cockroaches?"

What did someone just say?

Jessica's face turned red as a beet, "I'm not afraid of cockroaches, but I didn't say I'm not afraid of mice!"

So it was Brother Mouse... Well done, you did a good job.

Zhou Mo Sen with the sweet fragrance in his arms, can he remain unmoved?

But just as he thought to get up, he was held even tighter by Jessica Alba.

"What's wrong?"

"Don't move!"

Zhou Mo Sen felt the girl's trembling and had a rough idea of what was going on.

It should be a matter of perspective.

Very likely, Jessica saw that mouse again, while Zhou Mo Sen couldn't.

If that's the case... he extended his hand, gently resting it on Jessica's back.

Slowly, gently, using the warmth of his palm, to make her less scared.

Honestly, Zhou Mo Sen wasn't sure if this method would work.

After all, as Dr. Zhou, he had never really comforted anyone.

Even with patients, he always tried to maintain a relatively 'indifferent' attitude.

Zhou Mo Sen knew that many patients didn't understand this, as it seemed many doctors, especially those who do a lot of surgeries, rarely smile.

There is a reason for this.

Because we try not to be influenced by emotions.

During surgery, stability in emotions means steadiness of the hands.

One could say, a doctor's indifference is also a form of responsibility towards patients.

As for flirting, our Dr. Zhou doesn't pretend to be mysterious or deceive people using mysterious Eastern powers.

It's simply about having straightforward and in-depth communication.

In the United States, things are quite open.

Anyway, up until now, Zhou Mo Sen hasn't had an official girlfriend.

Here, the idea is like that, people don't consider a romantic relationship or marriage as a prerequisite.

So in-depth communication is entirely free.

Therefore, after crossing over here, he hadn't comforted any girl.

Especially like now, gently caressing Jessica's beautiful back with his hand.

It must be said, it's much smoother than imagined.

Jessica is now in the prime of her life, still in her youthful and beautiful years.

No matter her face or her skin, one couldn't pick a flaw.

Yet Zhou Mo Sen wasn't lusting after beauty, he really was exerting effort to comfort her.

Not even daring to use too much force.

Perhaps his efforts had an effect, as Jessica slowly calmed down.

"Did the mouse run away?"

Zhou Mo Sen asked, clearly not confident in his own comfort skills.

But Jessica nodded with a blushing face, "Thank you."

This... the mouse indeed ran away, yet she thanked me.

Does this mean my Dr. Zhou's comfort had an effect?

Impossible to be certain at this moment.

However, Jessica did not let go of him.

"Uh..."

"What?"

"We..."

"Wait, wait a moment."

Zhou Mo Sen and Jessica, in such a position, is indeed overly intimate.

But the current situation is that Jessica was overly frightened, now weak and feeble.

Moreover, Zhou Mo Sen had just shown gentleness.

It seems... hmm?

Suddenly, Jessica felt something wasn't right.

"You, why do you have a stick?"

"What stick did I bring, I..."

At this point, both looked at each other and instantly understood.

Both blushing!

"Why are you like this."

"Shouldn't I be blaming you?"

"Why blame me?"

"You're acting like this towards me, how can I not respond?"

"You, you..."

"Hey, hey! Just because you're good-looking and have a great figure, doesn't mean you can be irresponsible!"

Zhou Mo Sen's words indeed made Jessica laugh uncontrollably.

But she was already weak in the limbs, and now laughing like this, she was even more exhausted.

Zhou Mo Sen felt helpless, "Are you tempting me?"

This was too ironic.

"I wasn't! I didn't... I don't have the strength to get up right now."

Had to speak the truth, Jessica's face reddened even more.

Zhou Mo Sen looked at her charming face with a hint of shyness, which perfectly matched the Eastern aesthetic.

Xiaozhou was even more spirited, so...

He couldn't help but kissed Jessica.

"..."

It was a brief kiss, then they pulled apart, their eyes meeting.

From the astonished look in Jessica's eyes, Zhou Mo Sen felt guilt.

If he continued to kiss her, there might be a bodily connection.

But this was Jessica's home, and he had been living here for days, bothering her this long, and constantly asking favors.

And now to seduce her?

That's too much.

"Sorry."

A quick reversal, Zhou Mo Sen genuinely had no intention of taking advantage.

But this posture still had some intimacy.

Jessica covered her face directly.

This was too embarrassing.

Moreover, Jessica even felt... Would Zhou Mo Sen take advantage of her...

In the United States, even between strangers, having an in-depth communication isn't a big deal.

This isn't even referring to those Kuns standing by the roadside.

Not to mention, Zhou Mo Sen and Jessica had been living together for several days.

But it was still too fast!

Jessica really wasn't prepared.

But strangely enough, she wasn't planning to resist.

This mindset was odd.

But next, what surprised Jessica immensely occurred.

"Don't catch a cold, I've been bothering you these days, sorry."

Zhou Mo Sen picked up a bathrobe and wrapped Jessica in it.

Then he packed up and just left.

Throughout the process, Jessica only dared to peek at him through the gaps in her fingers.

He just left like that?

He... somehow, Jessica felt that Zhou Mo Sen wasn't as annoying as she thought.

...

San Diego, Chula Vista.

This place isn't all desolate, it's actually a city.

But it's indeed not very developed.

Even compared to the adjacent Tijuana, this city feels like a countryside.

Carlos and Paddy met up at a bar.

They even had the place to themselves.

Clearly, this place has something to do with them.

"What exactly is going on?" Paddy spoke first, after all, he was used to being a legislator.

Carlos frowned, "You still have the nerve to ask me? What did your people do?"

"What do you mean my people?"

"Those people who went after Zhou Mo Sen before!"

"Them? Only a few were caught, so what?"

"Now the police are investigating me! They suspect I'm connected to the Mexican gangs and drugs!"

What Carlos said made Paddy even angrier.

"Weren't you originally connected with them?"

Yes, you old trickster, what are you pretending?

But Carlos went on, "But I'm a doctor! I'm the vice president of a large non-profit hospital! I can't be associated with them!"

He spoke with righteous indignation.

If it were before, Paddy would definitely be sympathetic to Carlos.

After all, he wasn't wrong, it's indeed like that.

Carlos needed to maintain his propriety.

But now...

"So I must be the one associated then? What exactly do you mean!"

Paddy wasn't a fool, he could already sense something.

Carlos bluntly said, "I can't be suspected, you'd better find someone to take the fall!"

This plan indeed sounded good.

It meant Carlos could rid himself of suspicion, and to achieve this, Paddy would have to sacrifice something.

Previously, this would have been no problem.

But now...

"Are you suggesting that I be that scapegoat!"

With Paddy's words, it meant going head-to-head with Carlos!
