Seeing Claire dress up and sit opposite Rowan, she felt a pang in her heart. Daphne felt jealous again.
"Please sit here, Dr. Wells." The patient's family didn't notice Rowan. They also didn't know him. They warmly asked Daphne to take the seat.
The table was right next to Rowan and Claire. Indeed close.
That meant Daphne could overhear the two's conversation.
Claire withdrew her gaze, feeling awkward and disappointed somehow. After all, Daphne was her rival in love.

Rowan looked away calmly. Daphne was only his coworker in his eyes.
The first dish was fish.
Rowan picked up the fish belly with his fork and put it on Claire's plate. "It has no bones. Be careful when chewing." Daphne felt frustrated when hearing his words. Whenever she took a breath, she felt a piercing pain in her chest. Although she didn't gaze at them, she felt extremely reluctant. After all, Claire met Rowan later than she did.
Claire wasn't in the mood of talking with Rowan. She munched the food picked up by him, fully concentrated.
"Keep the food to yourself. | can't eat too much." Claire looked up finally.
Rowan praised with a gentle smile, "You look so lovely when munching." Claire was baffled, wondering how to respond. She didn't expect Rowan to flirt with her suddenly.

"Dr. Wells, don't you like the dishes? You seem to lack appetite." "Yes. | do like them." Daphne hurriedly wore a smile. "I'm not hungry yet." "You've worked hard for a whole day. You must be starved. Please help yourself." Daphne felt suffocated. She couldn't help being all her ears when Claire and Rowan talked to each other. Their conversation frustrated her.
After dinner, Rowan and Claire stood up to leave.
Daphne gazed at their backs, only to find they were holding hands. She felt a lump in her throat.
"I'm full. Thank you for the meal." Daphne couldn't stay any longer as she found it hard to breathe in the restaurant. With a wry smile, she said, "I'm afraid | have to go now. See you." Then she turned away.
Actually, she only took a few bites. Daphne was too upset to have an appetite.
"What happened to her?" "No idea..." Daphne took the escalator to the first floor and rushed out of the restaurant. When the night breeze blew, her broken heart ached more. Then she saw Rowan's car in the parking lot but didn't see him.

Finally, she saw the two walking on the street hand-in-hand. Claire took Rowan's arm, staring up at him in worship from tto time. Rowan caressed her head. They were talking while laughing.

"Hello, Dad. Have you called Belinda? Her birthday is coming soon." "Not yet," Algerone answered frankly. "Where are you now?" "Why haven't called her yet?" Monica paused her pace, frowning angrily. "I wonder how much tit takes for you to call her. Do you want to improve your relationship or not? Do you still care about your daughter?" "Calm down, Monica. It's not..." Algerone feared the most when Monica was angry and ignored him. He choked his words anxiously.
"lI don't care what excuse you have. I'm in Canada now, downstairs in my mom's apartment building. She took a day off today. In half an hour, you must call her. I'll be listening." Then Monica ended the call.
