Love At The Wrong Table

“Haha! There are so many kind people in the world!”

Alessandra was elated because she needed as much

rest as she could get.

Right then, Emmanuel received a text on his WhatsApp.

Claudette texted: Are you free now, Dr. Lowe? I’m here

for another checkup!

Emmanuel had an epiphany. Ms. Lenoir helped us!

Otherwise, how would she know I was in the hospital?

I’m not supposed to be on duty today.

Emmanuel replied: Sure! I’ll go over to Department of

Gynecology right away!

Emmanuel would always repay others for the kindness he received. Since Claudette had helped him, he was

determined to repay her.

Upon returning to Department of Gynecology,

Emmanuel did a checkup for Claudette.

During the procedure, Claudette was sizing him up

awkwardly. Why is Dr. Lowe so friendly today?

“Fortunately, you came in time, Ms. Lenoir!” Emmanuel

said.

“What?” Claudette was stunned. Is my condition that

serious?

Emmanuel smiled and answered, “You’re not suffering

from a relapse. It’s just that you’ve been having too

much cold drinks, and it’s causing your lower

abdomen to hurt. You’ll be fine if you drink more warm

water after this! If you were to come later, it would’ve

subsided on its own!”

“Oh, I see!” Claudette let out a chuckle because she

thought Emmanuel was being funny. After that, she

uttered in an awkward tone, “Thank you, Dr. Lowe! I was

born with this sickness, and you’re the only one who

can cure it!”

“You’re welcome!” Emmanuel waved his hands

dismissively.

Just as Claudette was about to leave reluctantly,

Emmanuel suddenly said, “By the way, when will you

be free, Ms. Lenoir? I would like to buy you dinner.”

“Huh?” Claudette froze. So this man actually knows

how to ask girls out as well?

“If it’s inconvenient for you, it’s fine!” Emmanuel wanted to repay her for helping to arrange the ward, but he couldn’t do much if she weren’t comfortable accepting

the invitation. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

“No! I’m free every night!” Claudette responded

excitedly. However, she quickly concealed her

excitement when she realized she had to be more

reserved.

“Will tonight work?” Emmanuel asked.

“Sure!”

Just like that, the appointment was set.

Emmanuel then went back to the ward to take care of

Alessandra. At around six in the evening, he got ready

to meet with Claudette for dinner. Suddenly, his phone

rang.

Emmanuel was weirded out when he saw it was a call from Mackenzie. What made that indifferent woman

take the initiative to call me? Is she calling me by

mistake?

“Hello. What is it?” Emmanuel picked up the call.

“Hey! Where have you been all day?” Mackenzie’s tone

was as cold as always.

She decided to head home earlier due to her stomach

flu, and she was waiting for Emmanuel to make dinner

for her because she didn’t want to eat out.

To her surprise, Emmanuel replied, “I have an

appointment tonight. I’ll be home late!”

“What? An appointment?” Mackenzie was taken aback.

“Yes. What do you need, exactly?” Emmanuel was getting irritated. This emotionless woman has never

paid much attention to me. Why is she acting so weird

today?

“Nothing!” Mackenzie hung up the phone angrily.

Beep!

Beep!

Emmanuel furrowed his brows after she hung up on him. This woman is so hard to get along with.
