"Oh wow. I can't relate to that at all because I was very much raised middle class in the suburbs, but I can imagine what that could be like. It must have been difficult." Nolan looked at her with a soft looked to his eyes. It was strange to think that a doctor like this would be vulnerable around him. But, now that he had seen this side of her, he did still find himself drawn to her. "I think I can understand why you left. You would not be fulfilled with a life where you couldn't help people. Money doesn't impress you if it's not your own. You were bored out of your mind before you left that life behind you."

"Sort of. I think if you have to live without challenges, what's the point? My mother couldn't be more horrified." Wu laughed. "She is the type who thinks women should suffer on behalf of their men. She would always tell me to go after the biggest playboys so then I would get to be spoiled. She always thought I was going to get married to some conglomerate type from our social circles. She was convinced I would make a great match than all of my sisters. My sister did take her advice and you know they all have dyed their hair to hide the stress. They're trying very hard to hold on to their youth. I am apparently going to redeem them all, even though my father thinks that is ridiculous."

"She had your best interests at heart, I hope."

"Oh, she definitely does. She is misguided, but very very true in her love for us." Wu took the plastic bag from Nolan's hands and put it into the fridge under her desk. Nolan heard the clink of glass whiskey bottles which made him cringe. Wu seemed to find his discomfort amusing. "You know I can call you a taxi, I'm not really in the mood to go out after this. I would drop you out at the bus stand, but you know it's not the best idea to use transport after rush hours."Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.

Nolan shook his head reflexively. He didn't need her to do things for him. He pled his case. "I'm a college student so it's not like anyone is going to jump me. I don't have much to lose. I also have lived in the city for a long time. It's not dangerous as long as I stay on the main streets."

"I may have been raised in the countryside, but I know that the area around here is dangerous. I'm not just going to let you leave like this without a proper send off." Wu took her keys off the hook on the wall. "It's not like NYU is that far away from my place anyways."

"Yes, Dr. Wu, if it's that way I don't mind." Nolan bowed his head to hide his secret smile. He couldn't believe his ears at his luck. He felt his heart beating loudly under his palm in excitement. Nolan tried to look anywhere but her, to keep the goofy smile from lighting up his face.
