Chapter 1136 Envious of Claire
"It's our job. I'm glad I could help," Rowan said, smiling gently, "Your stomach problem isn't serious and you came here in time. I'm sure you will heal after treatment here."
"But everyone has been telling me that stomach problems are hard to be cured," the old lady doubted his words.
rowan explained patiently, "It can be cured. Just trust me."
The old lady smiled.
After checking for the lady, Rowan said, "Ring the bell if you need anything. I'm leaving now."
"Okay. Thank you, Dr. Watson," the old lady looked at him with gratitude.
Rowan made a simple gesture at Claire.
Claire immediately stood up and walked out following him, "I feel much better now after taking the medicine last night. Can I leave the hospital after using it one more time?"
"What's the rush?" Rowan said while walking, "My patients can only leave after full recovery."
Claire argued, "I'm not your patient."
"But you are injured. There's no difference."
Rowan led Claire back to her wards and they bumped into Daphne, who was talking a medical record, in the hall.
Seeing the two walking shoulder to shoulder, Daphne felt uncomfortable.
But She had to walk over with a smile. When She passed by Rowan, she didn't say hello this time.
She felt jealous.
After she finished delivering the medical record and walked pass Claire's ward, she saw Rowan helping Claire change the medicine and Jennifer was in there with them.
She envied Claire.
"Claire, you are a freelancer anyway, there's no rush in leaving the hospital. Just stay here," Jennifer smiled and continued, "You can share food with Rowan. He can prepare an extra share for you."
Claire couldn't help chuckling, "Thank you, Jennie."
Rowan didn't refuse but massaged Claire's injured leg for her, "Got it. If you need anything, Ms. Russell, just tell me and I will do my best."
"Thank you, Dr. Watson."
At the door, Daphne clenched her fists and walked away. She didn't like Claire at all. Claire was too close to Rowan.
At two in the afternoon.
Daphne walked pass Claire's ward and happened to see her sitting in bed, typing on the keyboard of Rowan's computer. She looked concentrated.
Although unhappy, Daphne walked to Rowan's office with a smile.
She knocked on the opened door politely, "Rowan, should we go house hunting now? I'm done with working." She knew she couldn't get out of it, she might as well take the initiative.
Rowan put down the pen in his hand, "Of course."
Rowan got up and took off his doctor's clothes. "Let's go." He walked out of the office towards the elevator.
Daphne followed behind him. She felt that he seemed more distant now. Was it her illusion? Maybe he was just too enthusiastic towards Claire.
"Rowan, thank you for your help these days." In the elevator, Daphne looked at him gently.
Rowan smiled and looked at her, "You're welcome. You have just got here and isn't familiar with the city."
Daphne smiled, "I want to be an excellent doctor like you. Can I ask you when I run into any troubles at work?"
"Sure. We can help each other," Rowan didn't reject Since it was about his profession.
Daphne seemed to have found a way. Even though they wouldn't live together, they had a lot of time to be together at work.
Since they worked together, he would be attracted by her as long as she was excellent enough.
And Claire wouldn't stay in the hospital for long. She might be discharged tomorrow.
Thinking of this, Daphne was happier.
The apartment Rowan found for Daphne was right across the street from the hospital. She only needed to walk for five minutes to get to work.
Moreover, it was on the seventh floor with a good view.
Daphne followed him into the apartment and was surprised by how tidy and clean it was in the apartment. The light was just right and the air was fresh.
Daphne was caught by surprise.
"What do you think?" Seeing her looking around the room, Rowan asked, "If you don't like it, we can go see another one. I've found five apartments for you to choose."
Daphne wasn't happy to hear it.
She was shocked, "Rowan..." Did he really want to drive her away so bad? But when she looked into his eyes, she couldn't ask this. "Thanks. I like it here."
"You're welcome." Rowan handed her the key, "Someone will move your luggage here soon."
Daphne was speechless.
In less than a minute, someone came with her luggage, "Ms. Wells. Here are your belongings, you can check if anything is missing."
"Thank you," It was all she could say.
Rowan's phone rang and he took it out of his pocket. Daphne saw it, it was Claire.
Rowan didn't answer it immediately but said to Daphne, "Get familiar with the neighborhood. I will handle work in the afternoon," he continued after looking at her luggage, "You can get your belongings out first."
Then he turned around and left. He answered the phone at the door, "What's up?" He was soon gone.
