Chapter 305 Why Did You Come Back

Bill got out of the car, went to the trunk, took out his umbrella, and walked up the stairs. "I happened to pass by. I didn't expect to see you on the way."

"I thought you went back to France."

Ever since Rachel had met Bill at the hospital in France, he had often asked her out for dinner or to watch a movie. At first, she had kept turning him down.

Later, Bill had clarified that he didn't mean anything by asking her out, and that he was just inviting her out because she was alone in France and they were friends.

Upon hearing this, Rachel had felt a little embarrassed and finally agreed.

As time went by, the two of them had become more and more familiar with each other, and their personalities and temperaments had become more and more compatible.

Wiping the rain off his sleeves, Bill asked, "Did you just come back?"

More and more people crowded the entrance of the supermarket, trapped in the rain and unable to leave.

All of a sudden, someone bumped into Rachel, causing her to stagger forward. Fortunately, Bill grabbed her arm, so she didn't fall down the stairs.

With a sheepish smile, she said, "Yes. If it's convenient for you, can you drive me home?"

Bill readily agreed, not wanting to miss this opportunity. As he drove her home, he made small talk, feeling a little nervous. Since Rachel had just come back from abroad, he wanted to use this chance to ask her out for dinner.

When they arrived at her apartment building, he turned off the engine and turned to her. "When will you get off work tomorrow?"

"I have to be on duty tomorrow night." Much to Rachel's surprise, her

certainly.

"No, no, I do." Lucas shook his head and forced a smile at her.

In the past, he had thought that a relationship could work as long as two people loved each other.

After a year of wooing Iris, she had finally accepted his love, but he hadn't expected that he would have a bigger problem to face.

It seemed that his parents didn't accept their relationship at all.

Strangely enough, they had never verbally objected to it. Whenever they heard something about Iris, they would just smile and stay silent.

However, every time Lucas proposed to bring her home to meet them, they refused. "It's still early. Don't be in such hurry," they would say.

This had gone on for a year already.

The last time he had had dinner with Iris, she had brought it up again.

"If your parents don't want to accept me, I think we should give up this relationship," she had said.

But there was no way Lucas would give up!

He stared blankly ahead, lost in thought about all this.

Rachel waved her hand in front of him and said, "Lucas, I have to go and work." Then, she left his office.

She generally found it easy to be on duty at night, but this particular night was better than most. None of the patients complained about any discomfort. After making her rounds, she had a rest in the duty room for a while. It was not until she heard some noise and footsteps outside that she straightened up and walked out of the duty room.

A nurse came over and said, "Rachel, you are still in the duty room! A handsome man is looking for you. I thought you were on your rounds, so I asked him to go to your office."
