Chapter 568 Suspicion
Jenny and Zack had lunch together before she went to meet up with Joey. She left him some kind words and advice before finally retiring to her apartment.
Dinner was spent with her colleagues. They had several toasts to her health before their director grumbled that things wouldn’t be the same once
Jenny left. Their one solace was that Jenny would still come back to perform surgeries if needed.
The people enjoyed their dinner, all sad to see Jenny go but in awe of her at the same time. A skilled doctor with such a powerful background would naturally get a lot of admiration.
Near the end, Jenny slipped to the washroom to freshen up. She was slightly tipsy from all the drinks she had. When she stepped out, Jared was there waiting for her.
“Dr. Stewart.” Jenny nodded.
“Are you really leaving?” the man asked, voice thick with emotion.
Jenny nodded, not explaining further. What else was this dinner for?
Jared sighed. “Dr. Walter, I’ve… I’ve always liked you.’
Jenny stared at him in shock. If she remembered correctly, this man had said the same thing to her when she first started working at the hospital, but she had rejected him with the reason being she had just been through a divorce. Jared hadn’t mentioned it since, so she had thought he’d let it go.
“I only see you as a colleague. Dr. Stewart, nothing more,” Jenny said, stating her intentions clearly.
A colleague, not even a friend.
“I know.” Jared smiled sadly. “That’s why I’m sad to see you go. I don’t know if well ever see each other again, so I thought I might as well tell you how I feel, even if I get rejected.”
Jenny stayed quiet, unsure how to respond.
“Won’t you even consider being with me, Dr. Walter? I can go to Bardoff City with you. I’d do anything for you,” Jared said fervently. He wanted to be with Jenny even more now that he knew her background. If they were together, he’d live the rest of his life rich and in luxury. That was why he confessed again, trying to move her heart with his charm.
Yes, charm. He was very confident in his charisma, having several admirers from the hospital itself. Jenny cleared her throat. “No, thank you.”
She didn’t know Jared or his mindset very well.
Jared sighed, finally giving up even though that was one of the times he had been closest to Jenny. He didn’t dare force things, knowing she could easily overpower him if he tried anything, and he might also incur the Walters’ wrath.
“Alright.” He nodded. Jenny relaxed her shoulders. She didn’t want any connections left awry before she left for Bardoff City.
The two doctors went back into the room, where dinner was served. Jenny sat by her friends while Jared sat by his girlfriend.
Yes, girlfriend.
He had just started dating the woman, a nurse from the same department, albeit he wasn’t happy about the relationship. He felt he deserved better, so he went to confess to Jenny again.
“Where did you go?” the nurse asked suspiciously
