"Actually, I have another favor to ask of you."
Jimmy said in a deep voice. "My mother and mother-in-law are both sick and bedridden. I have to deal with my wife's funeral, so I can't take care of my son. Dr. Shen, can you do me a favor?"
Before Rachel could answer, he said anxiously, "Don't worry. I will pay you, but I'm afraid I cannot pay a high rate. After all, I..."
His face turned red, and he glanced at Rachel, who hadn't spoken a word for a long time. He continued, "I know this request is a bit difficult to fulfill, so if it's too much for you, Dr. Shen, then forget it. I'll think of something else."
After saying that, he bid her goodbye and left. Before he could go any farther, Rachel called him back.
Jimmy turned around, and his eyes lit up. "Dr. Shen, are you agreeing to my request?"
Without answering, Rachel lowered her head, opened her drawer, and took out a business card. "Jimmy, you can contact this woman. Tell her that I mentioned her to you. She may agree to a low rate."
This was the most help she could give.
In the past, during her rounds in the emergency room, some children were brought into the hospital all of a sudden without any parents or guardians. Under these circumstances, they usually contact nannies who specialized in child care to help them. The business card that Rachel gave the man belonged to a nanny whom Rachel was relatively familiar with.
Jimmy took the card. "Thank you,
ten about it.
She didn't expect that he would return with his son to thank her specifically. In the face of such fervent gratitude, she felt a little embarrassed and said, "I only introduced you to the nanny. You should thank her instead."
"Well, we—"
Before Jimmy could finish, his son interrupted him.
The boy stepped forward, held Rachel's hand, and lifter his small head. "Dad invited the nanny to eat with us. We're here to invite you, too."
"That's right," said Jimmy while looking dotingly down at his son. "I don't have anything else to thank you with. I can only invite you to a meal. I hope you won't mind."
"You don't have to be so polite."
"Dr. Shen, please join us with the meal."
Since he put it that way, it would be too arrogant of Rachel to refuse again. She nodded her head and replied with a smile, "Okay, I will be there at noon."
Sitting inside a taxi, Jack looked at the congested traffic in front of him and frowned. In his irritation, he hammered the seat beside him with his fists. He craned his head to look at the cars behind them and could only sigh helpless and wait.
It was already noon when his ride pulled up at the hospital. Seeing a group of doctors in white coming out of the building and walking towards the canteen, Jack stopped one of them and asked, "Excuse me, do you know how to get to the administrative department?"
"Ah, it's on the eleventh floor of the building up front."
