There were two medical books placed inside the parcel. One of them was the book Rachel had wanted to buy when she was in Joy City.
'Who sent this parcel?'
Her eyebrows furrowed.
At the same time, her phone vibrated and a message popped up saying, "Have you received the books?"
"You bought them?" she replied quickly.
"Do you like them?"
"Yes! I like them so much. Thank you!"
The nurse who put the parcel in Rachel's office pushed the door open to see Rachel grinning from ear to ear. "Rachel," she said, handing her a report. "A patient has just been transferred from the gastroenterology department. This is his medical report. The family of the patient will come in about ten minutes for his consultation."
Rachel took it, nodding. "I'll check it later." She took the books from the parcel and placed them on her table. Then she threw the parcel into the trash can.
Instead of leaving, the nurse eyed the books curiously. "Is this a gift from your boyfriend? He's so kind," she gushed.
Hearing her words, Rachel knew that she had probably misunderstood. She quickly said, "It's from a good friend."
Although the nurse didn't say anything more, she ignored Rachel's objections about it being from her friend. She truly believed that it was her boyfriend who had given her these books.
During that day, there was gossip spreading across the nursing station.
It was said that the handsome man who visited Rachel last time was actually her boyfriend. Not only did they love ea
her head. She had always liked noodles. After hearing his compliments, her stomach started to grumble incessantly. At this point, Rachel couldn't wait to try the noodles.
As if knowing exactly what she was thinking, he smiled. "It will take a while for the noodles to come out since they're freshly made," he said.
"It's fine. I can wait."
She smiled before changing the topic. "Where did you get those books? It's not easy to find them around the book stores recently, since they're always sold out."
"I have my ways." He winked.
That day, when he sent Rachel back to the hotel, he drove back to the book store they had visited and asked the staff on what book she had been asking them to find for her.
Later, he called up his friends around the world to help him search for that book.
Finally, a friend told him that he had seen it in Germany.
Billy immediately asked his friend to buy it and send it back. Then he sent the book and another medical book to Rachel.
"Thank you," she said sincerely. At first, Rachel wanted to pay him back, but then she thought that he wouldn't accept the payment.
"I'll pay for our dinner tonight," she offered.
However, Bill shook his head.
"I didn't exactly give you those books for free." He smiled sheepishly. "I was wondering if you could do me a favor."
'A favor?
What can I do?'
She leaned back against her seat. "What can I do for you?"
"Um..."
Billy took out an envelope from his suit before handing it to her. "Open it."
