Mrs. Marsh's Revealed Identities novel (Jennifer and Ivan) novel Chapter 1156

Chapter 1156 Encounter in the Elevator

"Hurt? No way."
Claire chuckled and said straightforwardly, "I don't intend to be in a relationship at all. I think all relationships are fragile and love is the most fragile among all."
"You write tragedies?" Tristan suddenly had some premonition.
"I did before. Both the hero and the heroine die."
Claire took him as a friend so she didn't hide it, "But to get higher payment, I'm starting to write sweet and romantic stories. The readers love them."
Tristan drank the milk, "How old are you?"
"22," Claire answered frankly.
Tristan felt her interesting. She was eight years younger than him and she had interesting ideas.
The waiters served the dishes and Claire said to him, "I don't want to jump into any relationship. There is too few pure love in this world but that's the only relationship I want."
"I understand," Tristan nodded, "You write love stories, of course you have your unique understanding of love. You would rather remain single than settling with someone."
"I just don't want to waste time getting to know someone, it's too hard to really see someone," Claire said with a sigh, "I don't want people to know me, too. Maybe I'm too old for fast-food relationships."
Too old? 22?
Tristan didn't know what to say. He was already 30.
Soon, Claire changed the subject. She said sincerely, "Thank you for your help in New York, or I would've still been in the police department."
Thinking of that day, Tristan felt it magical too. "Maybe it's fate."
Claire was happy to meet a new friend.
On the third floor of the restaurant.
Rowan and Daphne came together. They ordered some dishes and sat down by the window, eating while chatting.
"He has a lump in his stomach and he needs to have a surgery in a week, but he doesn't have any family here and he didn't answer any question related to his family. He seems to be hiding it from us."
Daphne said to him, worried about the patient. "Rowan, we can't take the risk and do the surgery under such a circumstance, right? He has multiple diagnoses and we need at least his family's signature, in case of any lawsuit in the future."
"I will give him a physical examination this afternoon," said Rowan, "Try and get in contact with his family. We know his ID, right? Have someone to inquire about it, but the most important thing is still saving his life."
They had been talking about work during lunch and Daphne was delighted.
It was the first time she had been this close to him ever since she moved out of his place.
They finished lunch almost at the same time as Claire and Tristan.
They bumped into each other in the elevator.
When the elevator doors were opened, Tristan and Claire walked in and saw Daphne and Rowan at a glance.
They were all surprised.
But Daphne was happy because she saw a man next to Claire. "Hi! Claire," she greeted Claire.
Claire smiled and looked at her. Then she looked at Rowan, "Hi, Dr. Watson."
Tristan noticed the gentleness in Rowan's eyes as he looked at her, "How's your leg?"
"It's recovered," Claire was delighted, "Thank you for the medicine you prescribed for men." She looked beautiful when she smiled.
The elevator stopped on the first floor.
"Let's go," Tristan put his arm around her shoulder, seemingly unintended, hinting her that they were here.
