Why was he here? Nora was wondering about that when Joel walked over.
There was also surprise on his countenance as he asked, "Why are you here?"
Nora raised her eyebrows and answered ambiguously, "I'm a doctor.Why are you here, though, Mr.Smith?"
She was a doctor? Joel narrowed his eyes a little and looked at the operating room.
Anti had an operation here today, so he had especially rushed over here to ask Anti to treat his uncle's illness.
Due to Anti’s presence, only one operation had been arranged on this particular floor.
Since she was here, then didn't that mean that she just met Anti? Joel's gaze returned to the operating room.
The operation should have ended by now, right? He didn't have any more time to spend going back and forth with Nora, so he nodded and replied, "I'm here to look for someone."
After he said that, the doors to the operating room opened Michael walked out with the others.
Joel strode over to them right away.
Michael had already finished the sutures long ago.
The operation went perfectly.
Nora had only left after she was informed about it.
At the sight of Joel walking toward the operating room, Nora strode off and left.
She could finally go home and have good sleep now.
Joel didn't pay any more attention to her.
Instead, he went straight to Michael and said, "Hello, Anti.Michael??"
He took off his surgical mask and stared at Joel in astonishment.
"I'm not Anti.” Joel was taken aback.
"Then where's Anti?"
"Anti has already left a long time ago."
"What?" Joel broke into a frown.
He was already here when the operation was nearing its end and had been waiting outside the whole time.
The only person that left at the end of the operation had been...
Just as Joel's suspicions were starting to develop, Michael thought of how Nora hadn't wanted to reveal her identity, so he said, "Yes, Mr.Anti has already left."
Mister? Was Anti male? This wasn't that surprising, though.
Most surgeons were men.
Joel frowned.
Although his uncle's diagnosis hadn't yet been confirmed, it would always be safer if they could find Anti.
He didn't expect to actually miss him.
He heaved a sigh, left the operating room, and went downstairs.
When he entered the car park, he happened to see the familiar jeep driving past him in front.
He glanced at it- the young woman in the driver's seat stared straight ahead.
As though she was in a rush to go home, she didn't even glance at him when she passed by.
Joel shook his head and got into the car.
"Are you going home, Mr.Smith?" asked the chauffeur.
"I'm going to pick up Mia"
"Okay.” The chauffeur started the car and drove to the Golden Sunshine Kindergarten.
On the way there, Joel turned his head to the side and stared into the distance.
The amicable look on his face had long since disappeared, and he fell silent.
He had been sending and picking Mia up from school himself lately, but he hadn't seen her ever again...
When he asked Mia about it, she said that Ms.
Turner was still working in the kindergarten.
So, did that mean that he hadn't seen her because she was hiding from him? At the kindergarten.
The last lesson of the day was a dance class.
The kindergarten's anniversary celebrations would be held in a few days.
They would be performing on stage during the celebrations, so they had arranged extra dance classes recently.
Pete pulled a long face and danced expressionlessly with the rest of the children.
Fortunately for him, kids' dances didn't differentiate between boys and girls, but even so, he still felt a slight sense of embarrassment welling up in him.
