Chapter 55 A Gentleman


    Mandy arrived early at the JR Hospital.


    "Good morning, Mandy," said a warm manly voice. Jamie appeared behind her unexpectedly.


    "Good morning, Jamie," she replied. A radiant smile appeared on Mandy''s sweet face.


    Her smile caught Jamie''s attention. He stared at her for a while and fell into a trance. ''She is so


    beautiful. What an innocent face, '' thought Jamie. He liked to look at her smile. But somehow, her smile


    had disappeared previously. Now her smile was back. How nice.


    Jamie also knew that Allen of the Anesthesiology Department also had a crush on Mandy. He and Allen


    were studying in the same university, and they got into the JR Hospital at the same time. They arrived


    here a year earlier than Mandy. Neither of them had confessed their love to her. For them, Mandy was


    like an elusive goddess, so they were all waiting for a chance.


    "The family of the patient who will get the surgery first today wanted to see you. I was on dutyst night


    and had talked to him. It seems to me that he was a very stubborn young man. He insisted on giving us


    red packets," Jamie narrated while shaking his head.


    "That''s not a good idea. I help patients with the good intention to save their lives, not to receive bribes


    or the like. Please help me to discourage him. We must practice professional ethics," Mandy


    commented in a serious tone.


    "That''s true and honorable of you, but the patient''s family said that if you didn''t take the red envelope,


    they would ask Harry to operate on his mother. After all, Harry is more experienced," Jamie said with


    hesitation. He was curious how she would react to it.


    "Okay. Let Harry do it. I reckon he will be very happy to ept it," Mandy said. She smiled sarcastically


    at the thought of Harry''s reputation.


    "How could you just leave the patient to others?" Jamie asked in surprise.


    "I honestly think we should trust each other. I mean doctors and patients. Now that they don''t trust


    me...well, frankly, I''m disappointed," Mandy said calmly. In other words, she would be much more


    relieved if she didn''t perform the operation.


    Harry was a very picky person. Usually, he chose surgical patients who were willing to give him red


    packets. Otherwise, he would pass them to Mandy.


    "Mandy, do you know?" Jamie cleared his throat. "I like you very much," Jamie admitted bravely. Jamie


    admired Mandy''s easygoing character so much that he couldn''t control his emotions, nor his mouth.


    Mandy stopped walking upon hearing the unexpected revtion. She paused for a few seconds, turned


    around, and then said with a smile, "Thank you."


    That was all Mandy could say.


    Jamie didn''t say another word further. He just smiled and said, "Let''s go to the morning meeting."


    Mandy knew that Jamie was confessing his love to her just now, but she didn''t want to embarrass her


    colleague. Moreover, she wasn''t ready to fall in love again.


    After the morning meeting, Mandy did her usual rounds in the wards. When she entered Luke''s ward,


    she saw a strange man with a handsome face.

    "Dad, how are you feeling now?" the man asked. When Luke did not respond right away, he asked


    again, "Do you feel ufortable?" Wearing a white T-shirt and pants, Damian looked casual.


    The moment Mandy came in, her gaze exactly met with that of Damian. She guessed that Damian had


    a mixed ancestry because he had fair skin, a pair of deep eyes, and soft xen hair.


    "Damian, let me introduce to you. This is Mandy, whom I have mentioned to you before." When Mandy


    entered, Luke introduced her to Damian with a smile.


    "Hello, Mandy. Thank you very much for saving my father," he said with a warm smile and sincere


    gratitude. Damian stood up. His eyes were pure and bright, like clear water. Mandy couldn''t help but


    stare at him for a while.


    ''What a handsome guy. I didn''t expect that Nathan''s cousin would be so handsome!'' Mandy thought to


    herself as she withdrew her eyes from Damian.


    "You are wee. No worries. This is what I try to do," Mandy nodded with a genuine smile, looking


    dignified and graceful.


    "Anyway, you have saved my father''s life. I wonder if you are free tonight. I would like to invite you to


    dinner in gratitude." Damian shed his charming eyes and smiled like a gentleman, which was hard to


    refuse.


    "That''s really nice of you, and I appreciate it, but that''s really unnecessary. Besides, I have an


    appointment tonight." Mandy refused his invitation because she knew that Luke and Nathan were


    enemies. Now, Nathan was desperate to kill Luke, and he certainly didn''t like Damian. If Nathan found


    out she went to have dinner with Damian, he would skin and eat her alive.


    After a simple examination of Luke, Mandy left the ward. She didn''t want to be involved in their family


    conflict.


    But she had a good impression of Damian. He had a simple and clean temperament, like a talented


    schr.


    When Mandy walked out of the ward, Luke and Damian started to have a real conversation.


    "Dad, is she the woman you mentioned who is having an affair with Nathan?" Damian asked coldly. He


    was not the gentleman that he had been a moment ago. He had changed in an instant.


    "Yes. If I''m right, she is now living with Nathan," Luke answered. He put a weird smile on his pale face


    and picked up an iPad with his hand.


    "They live together? Wow! So soon," Damianmented and smiled sarcastically.


    "If we take advantage of this woman, we will have a chance to defeat Nathan. Damian, what you need


    to do now is to get Mandy''s attention and keep her interested in you," Luke said with an evil smile on


    his face. His eyes were horribly dark under his bushy eyebrows.


    "Okay. Now that Nathan is not around. I can invite Mandy to go out." There was a cynical grin on


    Damian''s face corresponding with his father''s dirty n.


    "Okay, you can y. But remember, don''t overdo it. We have a long way to go. You must earn Mandy''s


    trust first." Luke''s eyes turned dark all of a sudden when he remembered Mandy had just rejected


    Damian''s invitation, which indicated that she was still aloof with them.


    "Dad, I''m not sure about other things, but there''s no woman in the world that I can''t handle well," said


    Damian, with a faint smile as he squinted his eyes.


    As for Mandy, Damian was determined to win her heart.


    "Be humble in front of her. I noticed she doesn''t like those who are too arrogant," Luke kindly reminded.


    "Okay, Dad. Noted." The next moment, Damian changed his tone. He became a gentleman


    immediately as he had behaved before.


    "All right. Go back to work at the JS International now. We can do a lot of things during the time that


    Nathan is not here," Luke urged him, thinking, ''Every minute and every second is money!''


    Wearing a humble look, Damian walked out of the ward. When he walked out of the room, Mandy


    walked out of another ward. The two of them saw each other again.


    She smiled and greeted to him. He gave her a warm smile and left.


    "Mandy, who is he?" Jayleen asked her as she leaned over to her.
