Ice and Fire novel Chapter 712

Greg picked up his phone and quickly dialed Tim's number.

"Hello, Greg, what a surprise! What makes you call me so early in the morning?" Tim's disturbed voice could be heard from the other side of the line.

"Tim, I want you to do me a small favor. Can you please check out one thing for me?" Greg said hurriedly.

"What's the matter? Is it really urgent? Can't we talk about it in the afternoon or maybe in the evening sometime?" asked Tim. He was sleeping at that time and Greg's phone call had disturbed him.

"Quit your cribbing, Tim. Just find the reason why Cassie has come back to China!" Greg said in a commanding tone.

"How can I know why the hell she has decided to come back to China? You know her, I believe? Why don't you go yourself and ask her in person?" replied Tim.

"Tim, I think it's time for me to inform the doctors of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of XS Hospital that from now on there will be no abortion operations for the women you bring here so frequently," threatened Greg. 'Look at his guts. How dare he can answer me back like that?' Greg thought.

"Alright, alright. That's not a very good idea," replied Tim immediately. He focused all his attention on the matter and went on,"I will find out and let you know as soon as possible. Wait for my call."

Greg hung up the phone after he had got the affirmation from Tim.

Since morning Greg was thinking about Cassie's coming back to China. It had been so difficult to keep his attention on the patient's problems as he was still wondering why she had decided to come back.

In the afternoon once he had completed the last consultation of the day, Greg cleaned his desk up and walked out of his office.

In his car, he placed a call to the love of his life, Violet.

"Hi, honey," Violet answered the phone, and the excitement in her voice was quite evident.

"Hey, Violet. What are you doing now?" he asked.

"I was watching TV since I have nothing else to do at the moment," replied Violet blushing while saying so. "Honey, when are you coming back home?"

"I might be late tonight. I'm going to Tim's house right now. I have to discuss something very important with him," Greg answered.

"Alright," replied Violet. Greg had told her that Tim was one of his close friends so she did not think any wrong about their meeting.

"You stay at home and wait. I promise I'll take you out for dinner once I'm back, alright?" Greg tried to coax her gently.

"Alright, I'll be waiting," an eager Violet replied.

"That would be perfect then."
