'A handsome man?'
Rachel wondered. As far as she could remember, Lucas was the only handsome guy close to her.
She thanked the nurse and walked towards her office. When she saw a man sitting on the couch, she immediately recognized him. She asked in surprise, "Bill? What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to see you," Bill answered with a smile. He was still wearing his morning sports suit.
With a worried expression on her face, she asked, "Are you sick?" She immediately took out the stethoscope from her pocket and went closer to check him.
But he only laughed. "I'm not sick. I happened to pass by here, and I remembered you were on the night shift. Can I invite you to breakfast? It's sad to eat breakfast alone."
Feeling relieved, Rachel said with a smile, "You scared me. I thought you have another heart attack."
In the past two years, she had been seeing Bill constantly because of his heart problem. She kept on reminding him not to exercise too hard and not to stay up late, but he never listened. Sometimes, he would just reply, "I'm not afraid of heart attacks because I have you, a good doctor, as my friend."
Every time he said that, she was rendered speechless.
She looked at her watch and said, "I still have ten minutes to finish my shift. Are you willing to wait?"
"Sure. Can I rest here while waiting for you?"
She nodded and went out of her office. After handing over the patients' records to the day shift doctor, she changed her clothes, went back to her office,
st women liked going to cosmetics or clothing shops, but Rachel was more interested in hanging around bookstores.
She liked reading, particularly medical books.
While Bill was wandering around, he caught sight of Rachel, who was leaning against a bookshelf, engrossed in a book.
She looked so beautiful
that he didn't even want to look away.
At first, he felt inferior, thinking that Rachel was too good for him. After all, he was a sickly man who might die at any moment.
But Andy kept on encouraging him to go after her.
When he noticed that Rachel was coming over to him, he took a book and pretended to read it. She said, "It's getting late now. Let's go."
He put the book back on the shelf and asked, "You have nothing to buy here?"
She shook her head, feeling a little disappointed. "The book that I want to buy is out of stock."
He just nodded and led her out of the bookstore. When they reached her hotel, he asked about her flight back. Unfortunately, they had different return dates. "Sadly, our flights are not on the same day."
He offered to drive her to the airport tomorrow, but she refused politely.
One day, Rachel just came out of the operating room when a nurse came to her and said, "Rachel, you have a parcel. I put in on your desk."
"Thank you."
While massaging her stiff neck, she wondered who would send her a parcel. She quickly went to her office and opened it. But to her surprise, there was no sender's name. She sighed and thought, 'Who sent this?'
