Scarlett Xavier wasn't swayed by this slight tenderness.
She was very clear that when you feel you can't leave someone, that's the beginning of misfortune.
From then on, you'll just be at their mercy.
Isn't it just like how Winston Shaw coaxed Vivian Bell in the beginning?
And later?
She spoke to Julian Rhodes, "You don't need to pity me. Even without you, I still have places to go."
She hadn't known Julian Rhodes for very long, so there was no need to claim deep feelings.
Julian's feelings for her were more likely pity, just like he would pity his patients in the hospital.
She had a house; at worst, she would spend some money to renovate it and move in.
It's not like she had nowhere to go like he thought.
Julian said, "I'm not pitying you; it's me who can't be without you. You see, it's taken me so many years to get a wife, and after just a few good days, you want to leave. Who will dare to marry me after that?"
