Chapter 169 Fate In the ward, Dorian and Jeremy were enjoying Hailey’s cooking. However, Dorian could only lie in bed and watch Jeremy eat seafood with a look of envy and longing in his eyes, “You’ve eaten a lot.” Dorian couldn’t resist gulping. “I want some more.” “No.” Jeremy shook his head and showed him Hailey’s handwritten note. “Hailey said you just had surgery and can’t eat too much seafood. The patient should listen to the doctor.” After that, he peeled the last few shrimps and put them in his mouth. All that was left on the table was a pile of shells. Dorian stared at the table, frustrated. He had only eaten a little. He “I didn’t expect Ms. Newman to be such a good cook.” “Yes!” Jeremy got up and cleared the table. He was excited to talk about Hailey. “Hailey is the best cook.” In his mind, no one cooked better than her. Dorian looked up at him, “You seem to know her well. Have you ever eaten any of her cooking?” Jeremy suddenly dropped the lunchbox. It made a loud noise and spilled oil on the floor. Dorian frowned. Jeremy rarely panicked like this. Jeremy immediately leaned down to pick up the lunchbox and lowered his head to wipe the oil on the floor with a paper towel, afraid Dorian would see through him. He explained in a whisper, “No, I’m eating it for the first time today.” He’s not lying. Hailey had just eaten his cooking and taught him before. “Take a rest. I’ll go wash the lunchbox.” Watching Jeremy carry the lunchbox into the kitchen, Dorian still frowned. ‘He must be hiding something from me. He’s got a secret.’ He wanted to know what it was, but Jeremy wouldn’t talk and he didn’t want to push him. He just wanted to get back to the set as soon as
possible. He didn’t want to waste the crew’s time. Dorian took the script, read the lines again, and made notes where he didn’t understand so he could ask the director and writers when he got back. The script was filled with his understanding of the characters. He was inexperienced, so he had to work harder.
There were no tickets left for the flight from Poya to Diverous, so they took a private plane. Owen got off the plane and went straight to Diverous Hospital. Jose clutched the door handle. The mountain roads were so rough that he felt nauseous. Their driver rarely drove the mountain roads. Owen felt uncomfortable and whispered, “Stop the car. I’ll drive.” Jose blinked. ‘Are you sure?’. Owen had been in a serious car accident before. His family had forbidden him to drive and even confiscated his driver’s license, but he took it out the other day. Jose didn’t know what encouraged him to drive again, but at this moment, he was nervous and scared. “Mr. Moore, are you… really able to drive?” He asked in a trembling voice. It was clear that he didn’t trust Owen. Owen got into the driver’s seat, adjusted the seat, put on the seat belt, and turned to look at Jose coldly. “Do you want to drive?” Jose gave an awkward smile and gripped the door handle tightly. However, when Owen drove, the roads seemed less rough and the car was less shaky. Jose thought there was something wrong with the car, but he forgot that Owen was a SWAT officer and used to go on missions in the mountains and drive all kinds of cars. Driving SUVs on mountain roads used to be a daily routine for them. The car pulled up steadily in front of the hospital. Owen had expected to see Hailey, but he was told that she had gone back to the set. ‘Why is it so hard to see her?’ He frowned and asked
Chris to find out which hotel she was staying in. They were on their way out when they heard the nurses on the night shift talking. “I really didn’t expect to see Dorian here. I heard he was acting at Diverous Mountain, but I was too busy to go see him. I didn’t expect him to be sent to this hospital. It’s fate.” “Yeah, God let him get hurt so badly for you. You have to take your chances!”
The nurses giggled, but they tried to keep their voices down so as not to disturb the patient. “But Dorian was hurt so badly this time. I’ve heard his leg has been injured before. He would have been disabled for life and had difficulty walioing, let alone acting.” “Yes, it’s common for actors to get injured. His new boss is really nice. She brought a team of top international medical professionals with her” “By the way, do you know who the attending doctor is? Grace, an internationally renowned surgeon! Very few people get to see her. She must be very expensive…” Owen wasn’t interested in gossip, but we stopped in his tracks when he heard Grace’s name. ‘Grace? Hailey invited Grace?” Jose heard it too. He asked in surprise, “Grace/ Mr. Moore, isn’t that the famous doctor who operated on you back then? She’s here in Diverous?”
Owen had been looking for Grace. After all, she had saved his life and he had to thank her personally, but Grace was a doctor without borders and was unpredictable and her medical team served only her. He hadn’t expected to meet her at Diverous. Chris asked the nurses, but he was told that Dr. Grace had left the hospital after her surgery and was staying with Hailey at Crown Hotel, the largest local hotel. On the way to the hotel, something popped up in Owen’s head. Since Hailey invited Grace, did it mean that they had known each other for a long time? Was Grace’s sudden appearance at Municipal Hospital back then also because of Hailey?
