Love At The Wrong Table

Chapter 46
“Haha! There are so many kind people in the world!”
Alessandra was elated because she needed as much
rest as she could get.
Right then, Emmanuel received a text on his WhatsApp.
Claudette texted: Are you free now, Dr. Lowe? I’m here
for another checkup!
Emmanuel had an epiphany. Ms. Lenoir helped us!
Otherwise, how would she know I was in the hospital?
I’m not supposed to be on duty today.
Emmanuel replied: Sure! I’ll go over to Department of
Gynecology right away!
Emmanuel would always repay others for the kindness he received. Since Claudette had helped him, he was
determined to repay her.
Upon returning to Department of Gynecology,
Emmanuel did a checkup for Claudette.
During the procedure, Claudette was sizing him up
awkwardly. Why is Dr. Lowe so friendly today?
“Fortunately, you came in time, Ms. Lenoir!” Emmanuel
said.

“What?” Claudette was stunned. Is my condition that
serious?
Emmanuel smiled and answered, “You’re not suffering
from a relapse. It’s just that you’ve been having too
much cold drinks, and it’s causing your lower
abdomen to hurt. You’ll be fine if you drink more warm
water after this! If you were to come later, it would’ve
subsided on its own!”
“Oh, I see!” Claudette let out a chuckle because she
thought Emmanuel was being funny. After that, she
uttered in an awkward tone, “Thank you, Dr. Lowe! I was
born with this sickness, and you’re the only one who
can cure it!”
“You’re welcome!” Emmanuel waved his hands
dismissively.
Just as Claudette was about to leave reluctantly,
Emmanuel suddenly said, “By the way, when will you
be free, Ms. Lenoir? I would like to buy you dinner.”
“Huh?” Claudette froze. So this man actually knows
how to ask girls out as well?

“If it’s inconvenient for you, it’s fine!” Emmanuel wanted to repay her for helping to arrange the ward, but he couldn’t do much if
she weren’t comfortable accepting
the invitation.
“No! I’m free every night!” Claudette responded
excitedly. However, she quickly concealed her
excitement when she realized she had to be more
reserved.
“Will tonight work?” Emmanuel asked.
“Sure!”
Just like that, the appointment was set.
Emmanuel then went back to the ward to take care of
Alessandra. At around six in the evening, he got ready
to meet with Claudette for dinner. Suddenly, his phone
rang.
Emmanuel was weirded out when he saw it was a call from Mackenzie. What made that indifferent woman
take the initiative to call me? Is she calling me by
mistake?
“Hello. What is it?” Emmanuel picked up the call.
“Hey! Where have you been all day?” Mackenzie’s tone
was as cold as always.

She decided to head home earlier due to her stomach
flu, and she was waiting for Emmanuel to make dinner
for her because she didn’t want to eat out.
To her surprise, Emmanuel replied, “I have an
appointment tonight. I’ll be home late!”
“What? An appointment?” Mackenzie was taken aback.
“Yes. What do you need, exactly?” Emmanuel was getting irritated. This emotionless woman has never
paid much attention to me. Why is she acting so weird
today?
“Nothing!” Mackenzie hung up the phone angrily.
Beep!
Beep!
Emmanuel furrowed his brows after she hung up on him. This woman is so hard to get along with.
