Charlie shot him a glance and warned, “Don’t tease her, she’s sensitive.”
“Protecting her, are you?” Gavin leaned in, “You serious about her?”
Charlie replied calmly. “She’s an old friend. Don’t be a bore in front of her.”
“A friend?” Gavin smirked, “Which woman has ever escaped your charms? Any female creature, even a bird, would
lose its feathers after passing you!” Charlie sneered, “How could it fly without feathers?”
As soon as he finished speaking, he realized he was sounding like Emily. He collected his thoughts and asked
seriously, “What’s up?”
“Mmm, we’re having some folks from G Country over in a few days for the Al tech upgrade,” Gavin got straight to
business, a stark contrast to his earlier demeanor. South Hospital.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter Bonnie’s uncle moved to the free ward, the Ferbers paid a special visit.
Seeing the Ferbers’ radiant smiles, the uncle’s family kept expressing their gratitude, “We thought we’d have to
wait a couple of days but didn’t expect to move this afternoon. Dr. Martin’s so capable. Should we prepare a gift to
express our thanks?”
Bonnie’s father was thrilled, “No need, we’re all family. Besides, Dr. Martin helped you because of our connections,
don’t overthink it!”
She understood, “Right, then we’ll just remember this favor!

“We’re all family, no need to be so formal!” Terry said with a laugh.
The nurse who came to change the medicine overheard their conversation and made a call as soon as she left the
room, “Sherry, does Dr. Martin have a girlfriend?” The other side was surprised, “No, I was hoping that you two
would get together. How could Martin have a girlfriend?”
The nurse smiled, “Are you sure?”
She told Sherry what she had overheard in the room. Sherry was taken aback, “Nina, don’t rush, I’ll look into it.”
“Alright, I’ll wait for your reply!” The nurse hung up, a bit upset.
That evening
Emily took the subway home and received a call from Gina on the way.
Gina sounded excited, “Emily, you’re off work, right? The Ferbers called this afternoon and said that Bonnie’s
uncle’s matter has been resolved. They even want to treat you to dinner to express their gratitude! I didn’t want to
disturb you at work, so I’m telling you now.”
Emily responded indifferently, “As long as it’s settled, no need for dinner.”
Gina didn’t notice Emily’s tone and continued cheerfully, “Mr. James is really something, solving the problem with

She ventured, “Emily, how did you end up having lunch with Mr. James?”
Emily frowned subconsciously and quickly said, “There were many people at lunch, including Estelle and the others.
Mr. James only helped because he knew I was in trouble.”
“Oh, I see.” Gina sounded disappointed. “Indeed, for us it was a huge challenge, but for others, it’s just a phone call
away, such a trivial matter!”
Emily said seriously, “But it’s still a favor, I need to reciprocate.”
Gina awkwardly replied, “Emily, maybe Mom went a bit overboard at noon, don’t take it to heart. You have no idea
how nasty the Ferbers were on the phone, I was just too anxious, you have to understand.”
Emily didn’t know what to say. She was always told to understand afterwards. As if not understanding meant she
was being unreasonable and immature.
Moreover, Gina only comforted her after the Ferber issue was resolved. If it hadn’t been resolved, there wouldn’t
have been any words of understanding.
