"Miss Zhou, are you in a relationship? Why are you in such a deep melancholy?" Jamie made a joke, trying to break the awkwardness.
"No, I am not. In fact, I just broke up with my boyfriend. I am no longer interested in relationships." Saying this, Mandy waved her hand with a smile. It was true that what had happened between her and Daniel had cast a shadow on her mind.
Three years ago, they had been immersed in enjoying their romantic life. But all of a sudden, everything had changed. Recently, Mandy had begun to think a lot about Daniel and their relationship. Even though he was a guy with great potential, he was blinded by hatred. Due to this, his bright future had been destroyed. If he was indeed going to stay in prison for eight years, there was no chance for him to live a good life. He would be doomed forever.
Now that her family's affairs had been settled, she asked herself, 'Why can't I just let him go?' If her father withdrew the lawsuit, then his life would become stable.
It had to be said that Mandy was a very soft-hearted person. After all, Daniel's parents died, and he became an orphan at a very young age because of her father. It seemed that they were in a vicious cycle. If no one ceased to take revenge, then this would never come to an end.
Jamie was a thoughtful man. He had a crush on Mandy ever since she started working at the JR Hospital. But he knew that Mandy had a boyfriend at that time. He was a morally righteous man. No matter how much he loved her, he wouldn't intrude into others' relationships. Being the third wheel was not something he would want to be. Now that Mandy had broken up with her boyfriend, he thought he stood a chance.
"Doctor Zhou, the best way to get rid of being lovelorn is to find another relationship. This is called love transfer," Jamie suggested seriously, pushing at his black framed glasses with his slender fingers.
Earlier, Jayleen had sensed something going on between the two, so she had decided to leave.
"I don't think that would be a good idea. If I still miss my ex-boyfriend, then I am not being fair to my new boyfriend," Mandy replied curtly, trying to convince Jamie that she wasn't looking for a relationship. Once she was done, she pursed her lips and waited for his reaction.
When Jayleen just walked to the door, she heard Mandy's words. She sighed and shook her head. 'It is going to be extremely difficult to bring these two together, ' she thought to herself. Mandy had no interest in Jamie at all. She could also tell that Jamie couldn't possibly get Mandy love him. As a bystander, she could not help but feel sorry for him.
Jamie was rendered speechless by Mandy. He knew that Mandy didn't like him, but that didn't stop him from wanting to pursue her. If anything, the fact that Mandy didn't like him only made him want her more.
"I think you misunderstood my words. I am not asking you to rush and find a substitute. Instead, you need to open your heart and permit others to get close to you. If you do that, sooner or later, you will meet someone who loves you very much." To break the embarrassing atmosphere, Jamie tried to explain things.
"Thank you for your advice, Doctor Yang. I will keep that in mind. What about you? Aren't you old enough to have a girlfriend? Do you have one?" Mandy asked, hoping such hash words would dissuade him from pursuing her.
"No, I don't." Jamie then flashed her a gentle smile, doing his best to hide the hint of disappointment.
Mandy smiled back at him. Then they went to do their own things, and to Mandy's relief, this conversation came to an end.
She turned on the computer, and a piece of news popped up on the website. It stated that at three o'clock in the morning, a warning for a strong hurricane in City A was issued. The hurricane about to come would be of level 12. It would strike City A after 10 pm tonight. Due to this, all the schools had canceled their classes.
On seeing this, she rubbed her forehead in agony. Every summer vacation there would be a hurricane in City A. She didn't think it was a big deal. However, it just reminded her of Fiona, who could have a few days off.
She took out her phone and sent a message to Bruce, asking him to tell Nana to wait for her at school.
Bruce gave a prompt reply, saying that Nana would wait for her at the bus station in the high school zone.
