Chapter 544: Chapter 285: She Initiates a Kiss with Him 5

Not seeing Howard Geoffrey outside the ward, Becca Quentin immediately headed towards the doctor’s office where he might be.

She hadn’t yet approached the doctor’s office when she overheard the whispers of two nurses.

"Did you see him? He’s really handsome!"

"Of course, I saw him... Unfortunately, when he was talking to the doctor, I couldn’t be there."

"Don’t you think he looks familiar?"

"I also think he looks like the president of the ’Skytop’ group mentioned in the magazines... But how could Howard Geoffrey come to our M City? I heard he rarely comes back to the country, and the first branch has moved to France..."

"The key point is that his surname is also Geoffrey!!"

"He’s really so handsome... You don’t know, although I didn’t hear what he was saying to Doctor Simons, I saw the usually arrogant Doctor Simons being so submissive in front of him..."

"Yes, and the director just personally instructed us to take good care of the lady in room sixteen!"

"Do you think he might be Howard Geoffrey?"

"Probably not. I remember on the news it said Howard Geoffrey’s girlfriend is very beautiful, unlike the one in the hallway who is at most just pretty but also seems quite familiar..."

The conversation between the two nurses left Becca Quentin stunned for a long time.

"Miss Quentin."

A call brought Becca Quentin back to her senses. "Roye."

Roye was holding two packed meals, saying, "The president has something to do in the afternoon. He knows you haven’t eaten all day, so he specifically asked me to get a light lunch that suits your taste..."

"Thank you."

"You should be thanking the president. He’s very concerned about you."

Roye spoke without reservation, little knowing that during the meal, Becca Quentin kept thinking about the words "concerned."

Halfway through the meal, Becca Quentin’s phone rang.

Seeing "Doctor Robinson" displayed on the phone screen, Becca Quentin pressed the answer button, "Hello..."

"Becca, are you working?"

"No, I’m in M City."

"You went to M City?"

"I mentioned before that the elder who took care of me since I was young fell ill, so I came to M City to see her."

"Is it serious? Do you need my help?"

"You’re in France now, even if I need your help, I’m afraid you wouldn’t make it."

"From your voice, it seems the situation isn’t very serious."

"Yes, elders inevitably have some ailments... By the way, when are you coming back? Is Uncle Robinson doing well?"

"As you said, elders inevitably have ailments, but he is still quite hearty and it’s not a big issue."

"So you’ll be back in a few days?"

"What, not used to having no neighbor next door like me?"

"No... I won’t talk to you anymore, I have things to do."

"Alright, see you later in T City."

"Okay."

Ending the call, Becca Quentin didn’t continue her lunch and fell into contemplation.

Over the next two days, Becca Quentin disregarded Aunt Clare’s agreement and stayed at the hospital day and night with her.

After the last dialysis, Aunt Clare’s condition had stabilized, and the doctor said that as long as there was a suitable kidney source, surgery could happen at any time.

Becca Quentin felt a bit relieved, took time off from Manager Smith, deciding to stay at the hospital until Aunt Clare was discharged.

In the afternoon, Howard Geoffrey invited her out for dinner.

Initially, Becca Quentin didn’t want to go, but as if some mysterious force compelled her, she ended up agreeing.

It was the same elegant restaurant as last time, the spot by the window, and Howard Geoffrey ordered her favorite curry steak.

In the past days, because she was always at the hospital, Becca Quentin hadn’t seen much of Howard Geoffrey. She admitted she knowingly avoided him. Of course, Howard Geoffrey sometimes had things to attend to, so he wouldn’t linger long at the hospital either.

While they ate in silence, Howard Geoffrey suddenly asked, "Do you like the environment here?"

Becca Quentin mumbled a quiet "Mm."

Howard Geoffrey sighed, "While M City isn’t as prosperous as T City, the air quality here is nice, and people seem more genuine. You could come here for a holiday when you have time."

"I hardly have time to think about holidays. I’m just praying Aunt Clare can get through this."

"You don’t need to worry about Aunt Clare’s situation. If nothing unexpected happens, she can have surgery in a couple of days."

Becca Quentin, excitedly dropping her cutlery, looked at Howard Geoffrey, "Really?"

"Yes, a young person who has passed away donated it."

"That’s wonderful!!"

It had been a long time since Howard Geoffrey had seen Becca Quentin so happy, staring at her radiant smile, his eyes inadvertently becoming lost in thought.
