The Apple of My Eye

"Then let's wait and see." Aron put out his cigarette and walked away. Left alone, Becky could not control herself any longer. She sank to the floor and gathered her arms to hug herself. The crushing defeat was too much to bear and she had no idea how to start over after this.

Becky left the hospital with puffy eyes, not knowing that Wendy had been following her. Wendy saw what just happened between Aron and Becky and she knew that she could use Becky for her next plan. She followed her secretly, just a few steps behind Becky. They should not be seen together. Wendy had a small opportunity to catch up with Becky when she got out of the hospital, but a familiar figure suddenly came out of nowhere. Stunned, she just froze where she was standing.

With Joanna's surgery done, Arthur was ready to leave the hospital. He came early in the morning to pay the Chief doctor a courtesy visit and wanted to leave quietly, but all the doctors who knew him came to see him off.

"Doctor Zhao, I do not know who to consult on complicated medical issues after you leave."

"Exactly, Doctor Zhao's leaving is so sudden, we still have a lot to learn from you."

"All right, ha ha." Arthur laughed. After Joanna's surgery, he still had his personal matters to handle. The whole family was going to move back to the city, so he had to look for a nice house. He had also, finally talked to Autumn. "If there's something you don't understand, just call me, and I will tell you all I know in a heartbeat." Arthur replied to the other doctors with a smile, "I will come back to visit some time, and maybe it would be your turn to give me checkups."

"You are healthy, and you will live a long life." A nurse said.

Arthur just smiled and continued, " I always think that people should accept the fact that they are getting older. I know that I'm old and I'm not going to run away from that. Now I would like to spend time with people my age. You may also visit me if you have time, I will definitely give you all a warm welcome."

"Don't worry, Doctor Zhao. We will surely come and see you." The doctors and nurses did not hide their affection and admiration for the good doctor.
