"Miss Zhou, are you in a relationship? Why are you in such a deep melancholy?" Jamie made a joke,
trying to break the awkwardness.
"No, I am not. In fact, I just broke up with my boyfriend. I am no longer interested in relationships."
Saying this, Mandy waved her hand with a smile. It was true that what had happened between her and
Daniel had cast a shadow on her mind.
Three years ago, they had been immersed in enjoying their romantic life. But all of a sudden,
everything had changed. Recently, Mandy had begun to think a lot about Daniel and their relationship.
Even though he was a guy with great potential, he was blinded by hatred. Due to this, his bright future
had been destroyed. If he was indeed going to stay in prison for eight years, there was no chance for
him to live a good life. He would be doomed forever.
Now that her family's affairs had been settled, she asked herself, 'Why can't I just let him go?' If her
father withdrew the lawsuit, then his life would become stable.
It had to be said that Mandy was a very soft-hearted person. After all, Daniel's parents died, and he
became an orphan at a very young age because of her father. It seemed that they were in a vicious
cycle. If no one ceased to take revenge, then this would never come to an end.
Jamie was a thoughtful man. He had a crush on Mandy ever since she started working at the JR
Hospital. But he knew that Mandy had a boyfriend at that time. He was a morally righteous man. No
matter how much he loved her, he wouldn't intrude into others' relationships. Being the third wheel was
not something he would want to be. Now that Mandy had broken up with her boyfriend, he thought he
stood a chance.
"Doctor Zhou, the best way to get rid of being lovelorn is to find another relationship. This is called love
transfer," Jamie suggested seriously, pushing at his black framed glasses with his slender fingers.
Earlier, Jayleen had sensed something going on between the two, so she had decided to leave.
"I don't think that would be a good idea. If I still miss my ex-boyfriend, then I am not being fair to my
new boyfriend," Mandy replied curtly, trying to convince Jamie that she wasn't looking for a relationship.
Once she was done, she pursed her lips and waited for his reaction.
When Jayleen just walked to the door, she heard Mandy's words. She sighed and shook her head. 'It is
going to be extremely difficult to bring these two together, ' she thought to herself. Mandy had no
interest in Jamie at all. She could also tell that Jamie couldn't possibly get Mandy love him. As a
bystander, she could not help but feel sorry for him.
Jamie was rendered speechless by Mandy. He knew that Mandy didn't like him, but that didn't stop him
from wanting to pursue her. If anything, the fact that Mandy didn't like him only made him want her
more.
"I think you misunderstood my words. I am not asking you to rush and find a substitute. Instead, you
need to open your heart and permit others to get close to you. If you do that, sooner or later, you will
meet someone who loves you very much." To break the embarrassing atmosphere, Jamie tried to
explain things.
"Thank you for your advice, Doctor Yang. I will keep that in mind. What about you? Aren't you old
enough to have a girlfriend? Do you have one?" Mandy asked, hoping such hash words would
dissuade him from pursuing her.
"No, I don't." Jamie then flashed her a gentle smile, doing his best to hide the hint of disappointment.
Mandy smiled back at him. Then they went to do their own things, and to Mandy's relief, this
conversation came to an end.
She turned on the computer, and a piece of news popped up on the website. It stated that at three
o'clock in the morning, a warning for a strong hurricane in City A was issued. The hurricane about to
come would be of level 12. It would strike City A after 10 pm tonight. Due to this, all the schools had
canceled their classes.
On seeing this, she rubbed her forehead in agony. Every summer vacation there would be a hurricane
in City A. She didn't think it was a big deal. However, it just reminded her of Fiona, who could have a
few days off.
She took out her phone and sent a message to Bruce, asking him to tell Nana to wait for her at school.
Bruce gave a prompt reply, saying that Nana would wait for her at the bus station in the high school
zone.
After work, Mandy headed straight to No. 1 High School where Fiona studied.
The city was overcast. Along the way, Mandy felt restless, and the sultry air made her almost suffocate.
After work, the city was jammed. Looking at the gray sky, Mandy felt very agitated.
Suddenly, her phone rang. It was from an unknown number.
"Hello, is this Miss Zhou?" a gentle female voice asked. Her heart instantly expected bad news.
"Yes, I am," Mandy replied, praying that her dear ones were safe.
"I am very sorry, but I hit your cousin by accident while I was driving. Now I'm at No. 1 Hospital. Can
you come here quickly? And please don't panic. She's not seriously injured, just a small bruise. The
doctor said she would be fine after resting for a few days," the woman said in a sincere tone.
"Okay, I'll be right there." Wanting to get there faster, Mandy honked the horn. 'What is wrong with
people today!' she exclaimed inwardly.
But she told herself to calm down. That lady had assured her, saying it wasn't a serious injury. This
gave her some solace. She let out a long sigh when she realized Nana was only mildly injured.
Still, she couldn't remain completely at ease unless and until she saw it for herself. Hence, she rushed
to No. 1 Hospital. When she arrived, she saw Fiona sitting on the bed while the doctor was treating her
injury.
"Nana?" Mandy cried out.
There wasn't the slightest trace of sadness on Fiona's face. She smiled and said, "Mandy!"
"Silly girl, how can you be so careless?" Mandy asked in a tone of reproach. In fact, as a high school
student, Fiona was burdened by schoolwork. Now, her feet had been injured, and she might not be
able to walk for a long time. Moreover, her knees had a bad injury. Although the doctor had wrapped up
her knees, Mandy still felt very sorry for her.
Seeing Nana in this state, filled her with grief. She wished she had rather been the one with this injury.
"It's all my fault. I bumped into her by accident. Luckily, she is fine. Don't worry. I'll be responsible for
the medical expenses," Nacy said, diverting Mandy's attention.
Only then did Mandy notice Nacy's presence. She was wearing a light pink windbreaker and had light
makeup applied. However, she couldn't help emitting a noble aura. 'She must be from a wealthy family,
' Mandy concluded.
'She is also quite well-behaved and polite, ' Mandy thought while assessing Nacy.
"Don't worry. Nothing serious happened. Thank you for taking Nana to the hospital," Mandy responded
with a smile. Since Nacy was polite to her, she decided she would be polite to Nacy as well.
"That's my responsibility. By the way, my name is Nacy Jin. What's your name?"
"I'm Mandy Zhou."
"Nice to meet you. This is my phone number. By the way, you can add me on WeChat as well," Nacy
said enthusiastically. She just took a day off today and was on her way back home. Since she was in a
rush, this accident had happened. Moreover, she was not with her agent or anyone else. Her heart had
begun to beat violently when it happened. But fortunately for her, the injury was mild.
