"I wouldn't even care if the woman was a street cleaner. I just want you to find someone who really loves you," Jonathan said.
After a thoughtful moment of silence, Jack said, "Father, most street cleaners are over forty years old nowadays..."
When his father heard that, he almost spat the tea out of his mouth. After clearing his throat, he said sullenly, "That's not the point!"
"Then... since you already agreed on our divorce, why should I spend a year with Rachel?"
Instead of answering him directly, Jonathan stood up and walked over to the desk. He fished through the drawer until he found a certain piece of paper, which he took out and put it in front of Jack.
The title at the top of the page, which was in bold, caught Jack's attention. He looked at the divorce agreement and his fingers tightened.
Jonathan sat down again, and said, "You should sign this agreement first. I'll prepare another one for Rachel and let her sign it later."
He placed a pen in front of Jack, but the latter was in no hurry to sign. He was carefully reading through the contents of the agreement.
There was nothing unusual in it. Jack didn't care about the money or the property that they would compensate Rachel with. He read through the provisions of the agreement, one after another.
He finally found something in the document that made him raise his eyebrows. There was no date on which the agreement would take effect.
But that was exactly what his father wanted.
Jac
started working there. The nurses of the hospital found him really dashing and handsome in his white uniform.
Lucas was tall and slim like a model, and with his white gown, he looked like the leading actor in a popular TV series.
The face mask he wore only revealed his deep eyes and his straight nose. Compared to everyone else at the hospital, Lucas was the one who was most likely to be considered a heartthrob.
Personal attractiveness aside, Lucas and Rachel were the two most outstanding doctors among all the recent hires at the hospital.
Rachel's major was neurology, but for some reason, she applied for transfer to the surgical department.
Everyone in the hospital knew that she and Lucas were on good terms. Although they were fellow apprentices, there was a rumor that they were romantically involved.
At the very beginning, it was unclear whether they were really a couple. But as time went by, everyone began to realize that they were just friends, not lovers.
People had no idea about Rachel's family background, and she had never mentioned it in conversation, because she kept a low profile. However, there were rumors that she came from a notable family.
Rachel was a graceful lady. Although the handbag she carried looked ordinary, a few sharp observers noticed that it was from a famous international brand, and would have cost as much as a whole month's salary of some nurses in the hospital.
Besides, Rachel drove her own car, which was not cheap.
