Meeting You Was Fate

Chapter 31 Nathan's Mother

When Mandy noticed her entering Luke's ward, a cry suddenly burst out inside. Something felt uncanny, so she managed to have a look.

"I am sorry for coming in. Is everything alright here?" Mandy pushed the door open, barely frowning.

A lady in her early forties had settled on the bedside, with one hand holding a handkerchief and the other on Luke's hand, sobbing. Her makeup was so appealing as if it had been done by an exclusive makeup artist. There was no sign of gaining weight, and her skin was fair and elastic for her age. Surely, she was cared for by just the look of her well-maintained appearance.

"Don't laugh at me, Mandy. By the way, this is my sister. She just flew back from America," Luke explained to Mandy as he placed a hand on her shoulder, comforting Daisy.

Hearing this, Daisy gazed upon Mandy and said politely, "Hello, Dr. Zhou. I heard that it was you who did the surgery for my brother. Thank you very much."

Mandy felt flattered by the unexpected gratefulness she received. If she guessed it right, the woman in front of her must be Nathan's mother. She looked very gentle. Her behavior revealed a graceful etiquette of a lady, which was quite contrary to her son's crank ways and manner. Mandy thought that it might be the result of the mutation of the gene...

"Madam, you're welcome. It is a doctor's duty to save lives and heal the wounded. Since you are fine, I'll excuse myself then. My apologies if I suddenly came inside. I thought there was something wrong since I heard sobs." Mandy's lips twitched up, giving a graceful smile as she left the ward.

After her working hours, Mandy went to Venice restaurant as scheduled. She arrived at half past five. The golden rays that the setting sun emitted fell on the ground, making her feel warm. Standing in front of the restaurant, Mandy's eyes lit up at seeing how beautiful the scenery of the sunset was. Yet, all sorts of feelings swam in her mind.

Walking across a magnificent stone bridge, Mandy decided to board a boat. Venice restaurant was a high-profile restaurant, where all the guests could arrive only by boat. The sun hit the water, creating some interesting colors on the water and radiating countless sparkles of light, which fascinated everyone.

"Good afternoon, Miss Zhou. I'm glad you have arrived. President Jin is waiting for you inside." She heard the waiter greeted her politely as soon as she went inside the restaurant. Mandy smiled, but the thought that the waiter knew her name left her confused. Her eyes roamed around the big dining room and noticed no one else was seated around the tables.

'Had Nathan booked the whole restaurant?'

"He is so terribly wealthy," Mandy mumbled to herself. Nathan wore a white shirt, and he was sitting in the middle of the restaurant. A smile on his face welcomed Mandy as she walked toward him. This was definitely a nightmare for Mandy. She approached him with bitterness engulfing her whole system, as she became convinced that Nathan had actually booked the whole restaurant.

"You are here!" Love and tenderness were reflected in Nathan's luminous eyes. Mandy pulled gently the chair out that was opposite to Nathan's seat. As she settled down without revealing her thoughts, she put down her bag and stared at him without a word.

"Hi, Mandy. I'm so happy you have made it here. Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? Here's the menu. Please, order from it yourself. " Nathan handed the menu to Mandy. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Mandy gladly took the menu from him. Looking through the listed dishes, she thought to herself that she must choose the most expensive meal since it was free, after all. Yet, she reminded herself that she must not order any kind of liquor because her capacity for alcohol was unpleasant. Due to that, Mandy perceived that it was necessary for her to practice a lot in order to increase her drinking tolerance.

"Well, that is all." Mandy took a pen to circle the cuisine on the menu lightheartedly as she thought, 'Well, tonight, I'm going to cost a fortune. Nathan, I could eat a horse!'

Without even glancing at what Mandy had ordered, Nathan called a waiter over and instructed, "I would like to order exactly the same dishes as the lady."

Mandy twisted her mouth as she asked, "How can you decide to order the same food without even taking a look at what I ordered?"
