Chapter 2314
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
He could not help but look at Ava a few more times. The joy and excitement in his heart were surging fiercely, but he told himself that he had to suppress his emotions.
âWhy were you at the hospital, Miss Long?â Neil asked again.
Ava pursed her lips and smiled. âI had something to take care of. By the way, why were you there as well, Doctor?â
âI was specially invited to give a lecture,â Neil explained.
âDoctor, youâre so busy, yet you still need to take time out to check on Dannyâs condition. Thanks for the trouble.â Ava thanked him very politely.
âItâs no trouble at all. Youâre my famââ Neil almost blurted out that she was his family member, but he hurriedly stopped himself. âI mean, after being a doctor for so many years, Iâve long regarded patients as my family. I'll feel happy and have a sense of purpose whenever they recover.â
âDr. Long, youâre indeed an angel in white. You have such noble medical ethics too,â Ava praised.
âRight, I wanted to look for you and tell you something. Iâve already made an appointment with my boyfriend. Heâll be able to meet you at noon tomorrow. I wonder if youâ re free then, Dr. Long?â
Neil agreed without hesitation. âIt's absolutely fine. You can bring your boyfriend to the same hospital just now. It just so happens that Ill be in this hospital for half a day tomorrow.â
âThat's great!â Ava could not hold back the joy and excitement in her heart. âThen Iâll need to trouble you when the time comes.â
She said and pointed to the subway station entrance in front. âDr. Long, you can just stop in front. I can take the subway back by myself.â
âYou donât need to go through all the trouble. I'll take you home.â Neil continued to step on the accelerator as he explained, âI need to go meet Tom anyway, so your place will be on the way.â Ava understood what Neil meant. He was going to take her to the apartment near her company. However, she did not stay in that apartment. It was just that she had been there for the past two days.
Ava wanted to explain but she stopped herself. Instead, she just thanked Neil.
Normally, the trip would only take about 20 minutes, but the journey felt longer today.
When the car stopped, Ava spotted Raegan walking over with what seemed to be groceries that she had just bought.
âMiss Long, that looks like your mother.â Neil reminded.
Ava spotted Raegan. She wanted to go back home after she got out of the car, but she did not expect to run into Raegan.
âYeah, it's my mother.â Ava was ina dilemma, but she finally chose to get out of the car.
Raegan was very surprised to see Ava, but she was also thrilled.
Neil got out of the car and greeted Raegan very politely. Raegan also politely invited him, âSince this is such a coincidence, Dr. Long, you should stop by for a meal after you meet your friends later. You can also talk about my son-in-law's condition.â +
âPlease donât mind me for intruding, then,â Neil agreed immediately after hearing this. Then, he glanced at Ava and smiled before driving away. After Neil drove away, Raegan naturally called Ava upstairs.
Ava did not refuse and followed Raegan back to the apartment.
Raegan then went directly to the kitchen after entering the door. It seemed like she was ina good mood and was about to prepare to wash the vegetables to cook.
Ava followed her into the kitchen and looked at the portion Raegan prepared. Then, she could not help but laugh sarcastically.
Raegan stopped in her tracks in confusion. âAva, what's wrong?â
