Chapter 1278 They Both Loved Dr. Watson Deeply
Daphne thought Rowan was too cold to her. She seemed to receive a heavy blow and started overthinking, wondering if he was out to date Claire.
"That woman is jobless. What's so good in her?" Daphne wondered what charm Claire had to make such a genius doctor fall in love with her. Daphne was angry, jealous, and reluctant.
Love suffers. Especially, since she wasn't loved in return.
"Excuse me, Dr. Wells." A young nurse saw her and asked in confusion, "Why are you in the dean's office? Dean Watson has knocked off. I'm afraid you can only see him tomorrow."
Daphne returned to her senses. Without the mood to work overtime, she asked, "Do you work overtime tonight?"
"Yes, I do," the nurse answered.
"Had dinner?"
The nurse shook her head. "Not yet."
Daphne picked up the bag of lunchboxes and passed it to her. "Take them. They are freshly made and still warm."
The nurse took over the bag in a daze. Before she thanked Daphne, the latter left without looking back.
Daphne's eyes reddened, tears welling up in her eyes. She didn't want to work overtime anymore.
If Rowan was in the hospital, she felt spirited at work, even though she could only look at him from afar.
When Rowan left, her heart was taken away as well.
Daphne angrily took off her doctor's gown in the office. One of the buttons was almost torn off. After rinsing her hands and combing her hair, she grabbed her red windbreaker and left her office.
At the elevator door, she met a patient's family.
"Good evening, Dr. Wells. You get off work early today," the mid-aged woman said to her with a kind smile.
"Yeah." Daphne offered her a doctor's smile.
"That's great. My husband and I want to invite you for dinner. What do you think? We want to appreciate your help. Please don't reject us."
The couple came to the hospital to see Daphne on purpose.
"Dr. Wells, thank you for curing my father. We should have invited you for dinner long ago, but you've been too busy. It's great you don't work overtime tonight."
"You are welcome," Daphne rejected them politely, "I'm a doctor. It's my duty to cure my patients."
However, the patient's family insisted. Therefore, Daphne failed to reject them and agreed to dine out with them.
In a high-end restaurant, the lobby was lit brightly, and food fragrance spreading in the air.
Rowan and Claire sat opposite at a table. After ordering the dishes, a waitress served them drinks.
"You became prettier, Claire." Rowan looked at his girlfriend up and down. "I love your dress."
"Awe! You are a charming man who knows how to please a girl." Claire chuckled, feeling sweetness in her chest. Beauty lies in the lover's eyes.
They picked up their drinks and clinked.
"You must have been super busy recently." Claire put down the glass, staring at him in worship. "I hope everything is all right with you."
"Ehn. I've been used to it. I often work out." Rowan always looked spirited.
"You can stop taking me out for jogging. Then you'll have more hours to sleep." Claire felt sorry for him as she could tell he had lost some weight.
She believed Rowan also had worries, but she couldn't share his burdens, unfortunately,
Rowan stared at her, his eyes glittering with love. "What about you? How's it going with your novel? Do you always have enough inspiration?"
Claire's status wasn't good, as a matter of fact. Without Rowan beside her, she was always absentminded. However, Claire nodded while smiling. "I'm very well. I enjoy my life every day." She loved him so much that she didn't want to make him worry.
Also, Claire didn't hope their relationship would give them too much mental pressure.
"Dr. Wells, let's sit at this table. It's vacant."
Upon hearing the voice, Rowan and Claire looked over, only to find someone taking Daphne toward them.
