Chapter 504 - Appointment

After playing on the phone for a while, Collin went to the treadmill for half an hour. Then he took a shower, wiped his hair, and lay on the sofa to read the medical files.

It was almost eleven o'clock when Ms. Mueller called.

Collin took off his glasses and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Don't forget your appointment tomorrow." Ms. Mueller said worriedly, "The girl is very outstanding. Don't be too demanding. Try to get along with the girl, and you may fall in love with each other..."

Collin listened to her obediently. Ms. Mueller didn't believe he had been persuaded. She continued coldly, "Don't pretend to be innocent. The girl you met last time told the matchmaker that you asked her if she had a child. Are you kidding? She's an innocent girl..."

Ms. Mueller's words suddenly amused Collin. As he recalled the words, he couldn't help laughing. How could there be any innocent girl in the world today?

"What are you laughing at?" Ms. Mueller complained, "The girl was very embarrassed due to what you said. Don't talk nonsense this time, you know? If you fail again this time, you must have six blind dates a week!"

Collin was speechless.

He set the alarm clock for tomorrow. He put down the medical files and turned on the small loudspeaker beside the bed. There were some tinkling sounds of running water coming from inside, as well as the chirping of birds. The soft sounds echoed in the room. He turned off the light and fell asleep with the sounds.

It was a rare holiday. It was Ms. Mueller who went to the hospital to apply for a day off. Since Jamie left office, another director came to the City Hospital. Probably because of Jamie's previous experience, the new director was very close to the people. He rarely stayed in his office. Instead, every day, he often made an inspection tour at the entrance of the emergency room, chatted with patients' families in the inpatient department, and occasionally appeared in the canteen to have a meal with a group of doctors and nurses. Moreover, he occasionally had food delivered in the evening for the doctors and nurses on duty. In short, he won subordinates' support.

Therefore, Collin's mother directly asked him to approve Collin's application for a day off. Without hesitation, the director approved and asked, "Do you want to let your son have a longer vacation? If his date is successful, he'll need more time to pursue the girl."

Ms. Mueller chatted with the director for more than half an hour, as if she had found a confidant. She was not greedy for a longer vacation. In fact, she was worried that her son would scare away the girl again. Therefore, instead of keeping talking, she only said that Collin should concentrate on his work in the hospital.

Collin was also a very weird person. His puppy love happened when he was a junior high school student, but his family didn't notice it, because he had good performances at school. He still remembered the day when he took his girlfriend back home and they had their first night when Collin's parents went on a trip. He was still a young boy, who was not ashamed of making love but nervous about whether he could perform well. The condom was bought on his way to the supermarket. The girl followed behind him and took a bottle of water. Seeing the condom when he paid, she probably blushed. Collin could not remember it clearly. He only remembered that the girl was quite mature with a good shape.

Later on, they lost contact. In high school, Collin met a senior student and had a good impression of her. However, she would take the college entrance exam and ignored his love. He enjoyed the sensation of being rejected and imagined her struggling in his arms shyly.

When his parents returned to their hometown on the weekend, he took her home again. However, she was not willing to make love with him, but she could not withstand his passionate kisses. Thus, they had sex with each other. And it was a piece of cake for Collin.

Jaquan often scolded him as a bastard. It wasn't exaggerating. Although Collin looked like a very serious person, he actually was a playboy. He was so smart that he could see which kind of woman was easy to flirt with and which was difficult. But no matter which one, it was too easy for him to flirt with women, which was just a matter of time.

In university, he had pursued a domineering lady. Then the girl became completely devoted to him, becoming a gentle sweetheart. Collin enjoyed the happiness of being loved by her for a while. Afterward, his interest faded away. Perhaps Jaquan was right. Collin was a playboy.

Afterward, he left the girl. He still remembered the day they parted. She cried and asked him, "What's about me that you don't like? I can change? Don't break up with me, okay? I really love you... really..."

Then...

Less than two years after graduation, the girl found her true love. She got married and had a baby.

Collin was relieved. He had been worrying too much, believing that the girl would miss him bitterly for several years.

Emma was a very special woman. When Collin first met her, watching her silently bandage her wound, he had an impulse to pursue her. Unfortunately, the examination showed that she had Jaquan's baby. Such a result extinguished his hope of pursuing Emma.

He adhered to the principle that he would never love his friend's girlfriends. Even if he loved that girl a lot, he wouldn't turn against his best friend for a woman.

Most of the time, he thought that he was as indifferent as Emma, who was free of any desire. Unfortunately, he was wrong. Emma liked Jaquan very much. Even if she deliberately didn't look at Jaquan, her eyes were still filled with her affection for him.

Probably as Collin got older and more sophisticated, he didn't have the same desire for women as before. He didn't want to flirt with them when he saw some nurses come to seduce him. After all, he worked in the hospital. Although he didn't mind, he was worried that if they broke up, the nurse would leave her job in embarrassment. That would be his mistake.

This was his original idea. Later on, more and more nurses were attracted by him and showed love to him, waiting for him to pursue them. In the end, fed up with the girls, he didn't want to have anything to do with them.

Some surgeons always teased him that he didn't know their hunger for young girls. Different from the past, Collin smiled calmly. He was devoted to all kinds of surgeries and illnesses every day, without time to have a date. Jaquan had asked him out to drink a few times, but Collin had refused.

It wasn't that he didn't want to relax. Rather, he had participated in parties several times at college. After graduation, he had accompanied his colleagues a few times. He became tired of drinking and singing in the bar. Occasionally, he would encounter a girl who purposely came close to him, pretending to be drunk and lying on his body, waiting for him to help her. However, Collin didn't care about her. He put the girl aside and calmly left... The girl who pretended to be drunk was shocked.

Too boring.

It would be better to think about the treatment for his patient.

In this way, year after year, a handsome and romantic young man was transformed into an experienced and serious man.
