The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 491

"It's nothing. We young people need the experience. Thank you for the opportunity, ma'am; I've gained a lot of clinical experience these past few days," I told the head nurse with a smile.

This was the truth. Although the work was exhausting and Lawrence Logan had constantly thrown harsh, cynical remarks my way, I had gained invaluable hands-on experience. For an intern like me, it was a rare challenge. Furthermore, the praise I received from the other doctors gave me the confidence and determination to push harder in my role.

The head nurse nodded in approval. "You truly are the most outstanding intern this year. Dr. Evelyn Yates has a great eye. Selena, you're a rare talent, definitely worth an exception for admission."

"An exception?" I froze.

I remembered passing the exams to get into Capital General Hospital through the normal process. Everything had been standard.

Just as I was about to ask her for details, she patted my shoulder, her smile somewhat meaningful. "Selena, I won't interrupt you young folks. Go on."

I blinked in surprise, following her gaze to see Leon Lennox standing there with a warm smile.

It suddenly hit me—I had promised to have dinner with Leon tonight. By the looks of it, he had been waiting for a while.

The head nurse had clearly misunderstood, assuming we were on a date. I wanted to explain, but she had already slipped away.

I had no choice but to quickly pack my things and walk out with him.

On the way, I asked, "Dr. Lennox, what exactly did you want to explain to me?"

"Are you hungry? How about some high-end seafood tonight?" Leon didn't answer my question, instead naturally asking about my dinner preferences.
