Chapter 1168 Misunderstanding
Her questions shocked Daphne. 'Girlfriend? Why did she ask so?'
Daphne was confused. However, she did like Rowan secretly. Violet's words sent pleasure into her chest.
While testing her pulse, Daphne smiled at her in acquiescence.
Violet secretly sighed, feeling disappointed.
Daphne released her wrist a moment later and said, "You recovered pretty fast, Ma'am. According to your pulse condition, your status is stable. You need to rest more."
Then she turned away to avoid meeting Claire.
Watching her figure disappear at the door, Violet still felt disappointed.
"He has a girlfriend. Alas... I finally found an outstanding man for Claire," Violet mumbled, frowning in anxiety.
In the corridor, Daphne headed for her office, wondering about the relationship between the mid-aged woman and Claire. Daphne was surprised that the patient thought she was Rowan's girlfriend. 'Who told her? Has Rowan said something to her to make her misunderstand? Has Rowan used me as an excuse to reject Claire Russell?'
As soon as she entered her office, Claire and Rowan left Rowan's office, heading for Violet's ward.
Suddenly, Claire heard her phone ring, so she pulled out to check the caller ID. Saskia was calling.
Claire slowed down and swiped to answer, "Hello."
Rowan didn't wait for her but entered the ward himself.
Claire answered the call in the corridor without following him.
Violet was still down. Seeing Rowan, she asked, "Dr. Watson, when can I check out?"
"Tomorrow," Rowan answered, "I want to give you an overall checkup now. Please lie on your back and breathe as usual." Then he pulled out a small device.
Violet stared at him in appreciation. The longer she looked at him, the more she liked him. In the end, she heaved a sigh, "Alas... Why are all excellent boys unavailable?"
"Pardon me?" Rowan was studying the data on the device monitor. He glanced at her in confusion.
Violet was like an elder to him, so she didn't beat around the bush. "I think you and Claire can be a perfect match."
Rowan was slightly startled, looking at her in silence.
Violet sighed again, "I didn't expect you to have a girlfriend already. Please don't mind my rudeness."
Rowan continued checking up on her. When Violet felt heartbroken, Rowan answered gently, "I don't have a girlfriend."
Violet was taken aback, consternation and surprise shining brightly in her eyes. "For real? What's your relationship between you and Dr. Daphne Wells, then?"
"We're coworkers," answered Rowan calmly. Inwardly, he cursed the person who spread the rumor.
"How dare Claire lie to me!" Violet muttered, gritting her teeth. However, she was overjoyed. "Take it easy. It's a misunderstanding." She beamed at Rowan.
Rowan still checked up on her calmly.
Violet stared at him with a delighted look. He was handsome and gentle. Although young, he was knowledgeable and talented. Violet thought he was a charming man. She had become Rowan's obsessed fan and guessed Claire must also like him.
"Dr. Watson, can I stay in the hospital longer?" Violet wanted to bring the two youngsters together if she could stay for a few more days.
Rowan looked at her and asked, "Why?" Most patients only wished to go home as early as possible. However, Violet wanted to stay longer.
