WhenEvelina finished speaking, everyone in the hall was surprised.
Farrah got Pearl's hand and asked, "Really? The most famous hospitals? It's not easy to be a chief surgeon there. When did you work there?"
Pearl looked at her father's reaction as she nodded carefully. "I just came back."
"Anthony, you have two good promising daughters. Pearl is in the medical field. You have done such a good job in bringing her up," Farrah added.
"..."
Knowing that Pearl had focused on her studies and excelled in her career, Anthony eased up a little.
Anthony looked at Pearl. Although he still seemed solemn, he was no longer gloomy at all. He added, "As a doctor, you should pay more attention to your behavior."
Pearl was flattered for her father's reaction. She nodded carefully. "Dad, I understand. I will do my best."
"Look at her. She's a big girl and still listens to her father."
"That's right. He is so lucky to have a daughter like Pearl. I like her since she was a child."
Evelina joked, "My sister is surely excellent but she's still single. Uncle Daniel, Aunt Farrah, why don't you introduce a boyfriend to her."
Farrah was very amiable. So she agreed, "All right. It's difficult for doctors to find a partner for they are busy. But your sister is very good. Don't worry, just leave it to me."
When they were talking, no one noticed Pearl suddenly became awkward and Anthony frowned too.
The atmosphere was lively. But an adorable and also unexpected voice came from the crowd. "Mommy!"
A little figure in pink dashed through the surprised crowd. She threw herself into Pearl's arms. It was Bonny. She flushed and gasped. "Mommy, I finally found you!"
Pearl's face changed when she held Bonny in her arms.
Why was Bonny here?
People there was bewildered at the word "Mommy". They exchanged confused looks.
