Chapter 865 A Gift For Sheffield


    The manager asked the saledy to fetch a ss of water. Then he put on a pair of white gloves and


    carefully slid back the ss on the cab, allowing ess to what was inside. Then he took the pen


    out of the disy case and handed it to Evelyn with a ttering smile. "Here''s the pen you''ve been


    eyeing, Miss Huo."


    "Thank you!" Evelyn took the pen and examined it closely.


    The manager gave his sales pitch. "Miss Huo, this writing implement is a limited edition. There are only


    three of these in the world. The other two can''t even be found in this country. Take a look at the barrel


    of the pen. That''s real gold right there, alongside the champagne decoration. And check out the


    precious red resin. The nib is made from the purest gold. This is definitely made for a man. Did you


    want to use it yourself or is it a gift?"


    "It''s a gift," said Evelyn.


    The manager took the ss of water from the saleswoman and ced it next to Evelyn. "An excellent


    choice for that special man in your life. Or am I assuming too much? If you need a more feminine pen, I


    can show you something else." The words spilled out in a rush. It was obvious he wanted the


    "Thank you. Please pack this one for me. Also, I''ll take a look at that other pen you mentioned. The one


    more suited for ady." Evelyn took the ss and elegantly sipped the water.


    "Yes, Miss Huo. It''ll be just a moment." The manager asked the shop assistant to bring a few pens


    befitting ady for Evelyn to choose from. He selected a red one for her and added, "This pen''s cap is


    mounted with arge diamond, giving it a special shape. It''s also uniquely numbered and limited in


    quantity. Ideal for collectors. Not too ostentatious but elegant; very suitable for your temperament."


    "Sounds good! I''ll take this one too," she said, looking at the other pen that was already packed up next


    to the register.


    "Yes, Miss Huo. We''re on it. Please wait a moment." The store manager took the second pen and


    wrapped the packaging for her in person.


    The cashier came to her with a POS machine. "Miss Huo, your totales to $430, 000. Will you pay


    by card or some other way?" she asked Evelyn, smiling sweetly.


    "Swipe it!" Evelyn said. Evelyn took out a ck card from her purse and gave it to the cashier.


    "Okay, thank you!"


    When Evelyn came out of the store, all the shop assistants immediately put aside their work and saw


    her out respectfully.


    But this kind of scene was toomon for her and she saw nothing wrong with it.


    The operationsted a long time. Eight hours passed, and Sheffield was still in the operating room. He


    had stepped out to grab a drink of water and a snack, but even then he was monitoring the procedure.


    Evelyn was thoroughly ready to go home. After putting the files away, she stared nkly at the


    handbag in front of her.


    She wondered how Sheffield would react when she gave him the pen. Happy? Moved? Surprised?


    Yes, the pen was a gift for Sheffield. She knew that a doctor like him must carry a pen with him all the


    time. Some had one pen in their pocket; some had a few; she had even seen doctors whose pockets


    were filled with pens.


    She thought a pen was a good, practical gift.This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    After a long time, she closed her eyes and pinched her eyebrows as she looked outside. It was getting


    dark.


    What was she doing just now?


    She was staring at the bag like a teenage girl imagining how Sheffield would react.


    She nced at her watch. It was 19:20. Nearly ten hours had passed since she and Sheffieldst


    talked.


    Maybe he had already left the operating table. She wondered why he hadn''t even texted her yet.


    Standing in front of the French windows for ten more minutes, she couldn''t take it anymore. She took


    the bag with the pen and left the office.


    In Y City First General Hospital


    After ten hours and five minutes, the operation was finally over.


    The surgery was a sess. Everyone in the operating room was relieved. Cheers could be heard from


    the OR, and the doctors and nurses were all smiles.


    With no time to take off his scrubs, Sheffield slid down the wall and sat on the ground, head down. He


    was exhausted.


    The doctors and nurses near him rushed over and asked, "Dr. Tang, what''s wrong?"


    "Dr. Tang, are you okay?"


    "Let''s get you up, doc!"


    Sheffield took off his mask and waved at them. "Don''t worry. Nothing a week in the tropics wouldn''t fix."


    He gave them a weak grin, a pale imitation of his joker''s smile.


    "Oh man! You must be exhausted, doc."


    "You''re awesome, Dr. Tang! I''ve never seen such a difficult surgery. It''s really an honor!"


    A male doctor, whose hair was thinning, wiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed, "Me too! I''ve


    been a surgeon for so many years, but this is the first time that I have seen a doctor perform an


    operation that way. I was so scared I didn''t know what to do. I would have flinched if Dr. Tang hadn''t


    been so confident."


    "Dr. Tang, you hit a new record. Let''s go party!"


    Shaking his head with a smile, Sheffield said, "Let''s have dinner another day. There''s a bed at home


    with my name on it." He nned to stay with Evelyn tonight.


    "Okay. Let me help you up. Then you can go home and get some rest."


    Sheffield refused their help. He stood up with his hands against the wall. He stretched out and rolled


    his neck, and felt much better.


    Right after he walked out of the operation room and put his clothes into the biohazard bin, he saw a


    nurse walking towards him with his phone. "Dr. Tang, your phone rang, but I didn''t answer it."


    In case there was an emergency call or something important, normally, before the surgery, Sheffield


    would give his phone to a nurse and ask her to answer his phone for him.


    He got excited, because he thought it was Evelyn, but calmed down when he saw the meaningful look


    in the nurse''s eyes. He saved Evelyn''s phone number but he didn''t associate it with a contact. So, he


    figured it couldn''t have been her.


    The nurse whispered, "It was the dean''s daughter! Don''t worry. It''s our secret."


    He had saved Dollie''s contact info, so her name popped right up when she called.


    Dollie had watched him do it.


    Sheffield took his phone from the nurse. "Thank you. But I''ll take all the calls myself from now on."


    What if Evelyn called? He didn''t want to miss any of her calls.


    The nurse misunderstood him. She was thinking that he didn''t want her to answer the phone because


    he was worried that Dollie might misunderstand. "Don''t worry, Dr. Tang, I get it!"


    Looking at her mischievous smile, Sheffield was aware that she might have misunderstood him, but he


    did not exin. He slid the answer button. "Hello."


    "Sheffield, I heard from Dad your surgery was a sess. Congrattions!" Dollie said.


    How well-informed she was! An ironic smile appeared on his face as he said in a lukewarm tone,


    "Thank you."


    "I''m at the hospital, just outside the OR. I''ve been waiting a long time. I can''t wait to see you!" Dollie


    said with a smile.


    "Okay." Sheffield changed into his shoes and walked out.


    There were many people outside the operating room, many of whom were rted to the patient. The


    patient was still inside the operating room for follow-up treatment and had note out yet, but the


    family had been informed that the operation was sessful.
