Meeting You Was Fate novel Chapter 52

Mandy was at the JR Hospital.

She was completely knackered after the surgery this morning. Her journey as a doctor began when she had decided to be a doctor so that maybe she would have the opportunity to help an old friend. Unfortunately, her old friend was gone, and Mandy had been depressed for a long time.

Mandy had given up a lot of things she loved, on her way to be a good doctor. She loved playing the piano when she was a child, but she gave it up for clinical medicine. Every time she would see someone playing the piano on the television, her heart would ache faintly. There was a time when music had been her life. She had loved every note, and each note became like a little dancing angel.

Her routine life at the hospital and meeting all kinds of patients every day, made Mandy feel that she was only taking a step further away from her love: music. But she loved her job equally. As long as she could save someone's life, she would be happy.

Her profession was sacred and significant. Healing the wounded and rescuing the dying wasn't something everyone had the opportunity to do.

During her lunch break, Mandy was surfing the Internet. A medical team in Switzerland had been studying a case of congenital heart disease. The JR Hospital was recruiting doctors to join the project with that medical team. Although Mandy wanted to be a part of the project, she was afraid that she might not get selected. After all, Harry's possibility of being in the team was bigger than hers.

After looking at the website for a long time, Mandy finally sighed and closed the window.

Jamie walked in with a patient's medical report to see Mandy. He was excited as he could use this as an opportunity to spend time with her. But he would stay true to his profession as well. He began explaining about the patient's condition. However, Mandy's mind was elsewhere. Just like her soul was out of her body.

"The patient's condition is rare. His blood is too thick–it could block the blood vessels in his heart. I'm afraid that his life is at stake." Jamie was fidgeting with a pen, looking at Mandy curiously, and waiting for her answer.

Her eyes were fixed somewhere unseen, and she had paid no attention to what Jamie had been saying all this while. She answered perfunctorily, "Yes."

Jamie frowned at Mandy and nudged her. "Director Zhou, what's wrong with you today? Has your spirit left you?"

'My spirit has left me?'

Jamie's words snapped Mandy back to reality. She realized that she had been absent-minded for a long time. She couldn't concentrate no matter what she did. Mandy felt as if someone was squeezing her throat with strong hands. It was hard for her to breathe, and her brain was devoid of oxygen. She couldn't talk to Jamie in this condition.

"I'm sorry, Jamie. I'm not feeling well today. I feel dizzy," Mandy made up an excuse.

"What? Do you want me to give you a checkup?" Jamie was nervous. He frowned and looked at Mandy. He was worried–she wasn't her normal self.

Mandy shook her head. "No, thanks. I'm fine."

"Okay, rest well. I don't want to bother you." Jamie was worried that his constant talking had annoyed Mandy even more.

Later in the afternoon, Mandy's phone rang. It was from Fiona's school.

"Hello, is this Mandy?" The call was from the director of the Teaching Affairs Department in the No. 1 High School.

"Yes, this is she. Who am I speaking to?"

"I'm the director of the Student Affairs Office at No. 1 High School. Your cousin, Fiona, has hit her classmates at school. I hope to see you as soon as possible," the director said in a serious tone.
