It turned out that although Leo was a good doctor, he had his own ideas. After abandoning his career
as a doctor and starting a business, he was still living a good life.
He might never hold a scalpel again in his lifetime, but he would never forget how to use it.
Unlike Leo, Audrey chose to be a doctor because she really liked it. In the past, she said to Professor
Sisquoc, "The patient won't get sick based on what you've learned," which moved him. Professor
Sisquoc accepted her as his last intern because of those words.
When Adrian got sick, Professor Sisquoc had already retired from the medical field. He no longer met
with any patients. It was also because his health was not that stable anymore. Audrey had gone with
Nathan to Professor Sisquoc's for a consult. Professor Sisquoc had been willing to come out and do
the surgery on Adrian, half because of Audrey's plea.
Audrey was his student for a whole five years, and in all that time, she had never asked him for any
help. He liked Audrey's love and commitment to the job. She deeply and truly cared for her patients.
Not everyone could be a doctor, for it required the extraordinary out of ordinary people.
"How has Dr. Sisquoc been lately?" Nathan asked with a smile, trying to change the subject.
"Well, everything is going well. He has been well." Audrey smiled—her lips like soft, red rose petals on
her face.
"Where will you stay? Have you booked a hotel room or something?" Nathan asked with concern, but
he looked ahead with concentration, his eyes impartial.
"No, I haven't. How about I stay in your house?" Audrey laughed teasingly, and a gentle light appeared
in her beautiful eyes.
"I have several villas in City A. You can stay in one of them if you like." Nathan smiled faintly and
handed his phone to Audrey. He added, "There are pictures of them in here."
Audrey stared at the unlocked mobile phone screen and felt a little disheartened at what she saw. The
screensaver was a photo of a particularly beautiful woman with fair skin and gentle eyes.
She had seen a photo of Mandy Zhou three years ago, but it was not Nathan's screensaver at that
time. It seemed that he had changed his screensaver.
"You must love her very much..." Audrey's delicate voice was laced with jealousy and gentleness so
subtle that it was difficult to detect. Still, there was a smile on her face.
"Yes." Nathan answered with conviction, his magnetic voice filling the car.
Nathan's love for Mandy was so deep that he wished he could bind her to him so that they could be
together all the time.
Audrey's heart ached a little. She did not expect that a prim and proper man like Nathan would make a
photo of his wife his cellphone wallpaper. When she saw that the woman in the photo was more
beautiful than her, she was somewhat displeased. She raised her eyebrows, curled her lips, and said,
"What are we going to have for lunch?"
"Right, I almost forgot. What would you like to eat? My treat," Nathan said briskly.
"Well, since I'm finally back, I want to eat the specialty of City A. I'm so tired of all that damned Western
food," Audrey complained in low spirits, pursing her lips.
"Okay, no problem. Have you found a job yet? In which hospital are you going to work?" Nathan asked
indifferently.
"I've already found one. The JR Hospital," Audrey smiled and said in a pleased tone.
Nathan raised his eyebrows but said nothing. It seemed that Audrey had prepared well before coming
here.
After lunch, Nathan took Audrey to his villa near Seagull Road North and helped her settle in. When
everything was done, it was already half past three. Nathan wanted to go back to JS International, but
Audrey said she wanted to visit a church in City A. Nathan obliged and took her there. They spent the
afternoon together until they had supper. Nathan did not come home until eight o'clock in the evening.
In the afternoon, Mandy was so busy in her office that she did not even stop to take little breaks. For
her lunch, Quintin brought her sushi and yogurt. Without Nathan around, she ate her lunch in this way.
After work, Mandy went to the top floor of the JS International building to look for Nathan. But the
secretary told her that she had not seen him come back yet. She did not disturb him all day because
she thought he was going to meet some distinguished guest.
After leaving JS International, Mandy went to pick up Adrian from kindergarten school. When she
arrived at his class, he was doing some handcrafting. He was holding a pair of scissors and looking
quite adorable.
When Miss Ren saw Mandy, she came up to her and greeted her, "Hi, Mrs. Jin. You're here."
"Hello, Miss Ren. Has our Adrian been behaving well?" Mandy could not help smiling, seeing her son
sitting there quietly, enjoying what he was doing as if there was nothing to worry about.
"He's a good boy. He told a story to the other children this noon."
"Really? What story did he tell?"
"He told the story of 'The Little Prince.' Mrs. Jin, your boy will be very smart when he grows up." Miss
Ren sang nothing but praises for Adrian. She thought Adrian was a lucky boy who was raised in a
noble family and had an impressive background. It was said that a family's wealth could not last for
three generations. However, with Adrian's hard work and humility, he could really prove that saying
wrong. Everybody was quite pleased with him.
"That's because you're a good teacher. You're teaching him well," Mandy said with a gentle smile.
The next moment, Ms. Yu walked up to her, and politely said, "Oh, thank you, Mrs. Jin. We are
flattered. Parents are the first enlightenment teachers for children. Only parents who cooperate with
teachers like you do can share the responsibility of properly educating the kids and helping them excel
at many things."
Mandy and Adrian's two teachers had a great chat at the kindergarten school. They talked for a while.
When handcrafting classes were done, Mandy took her son home.
"Mom, where is Dad?" Sitting in the safety seat, Adrian was a little restless. He looked around inside
the car but did not find Nathan.
"Your father is still at work, dear. Do you miss your grandparents? How about I take you to visit them?"
Mandy said as she turned to her son with a smile.
"Well, I want to eat grandma's famous beef dish," Adrian answered with an innocent smile, nodding.
Mandy called Lillian and told her that she did not need to prepare dinner for her and Adrian tonight.
Then, she sent a message to Nathan.
Her message read, "Nathan, I'm taking Adrian to my parents' house tonight. Go home right away after
you finish your work, okay? Don't drink too much."
