Chapter 647

In truth, Donovan’s parents were clueless that Donovan had yet to receive a teaching certificate from Maxwell University.

They assumed that he had a successful career and should begin a new family soon. Besides, they were both retired and wanted nothing more than to have grandchildren of their own.

If it were any other day, Donovan would have rejected the offer without considering it. However, he recalled his interaction with Arielle. “Okay. I will return home after my last lecture,” he said on impulse.

Alice was delighted by her son’s reply. “Excellent! I’m going to head out and buy some groceries. I’ll cook all of your favorite dishes.”

“All right.” With that, Donovan ended the call.

He looked at his door. Once again, Donovan was plagued with thoughts about Arielle.

Immediately, Donovan shook his head to clear his head as he cursed under his breath.

I must have been single for far too long. I can’t believe I felt attracted to Arielle.

Donovan decided to take his mother’s advice. He would meet the woman and keep his imaginations about Arielle from running wild.

Yet, Donovan never considered why he requested a student loan application form from Marcus the moment he heard that Arielle had been kicked out of her home.

Back at the Rocher Private Hospital, Queenie answered her mother’s phone. “I can’t go tomorrow. The hospital is extremely busy,” she said with irritation.

“Queenie, why won’t you listen to me? I’ve seen his picture. He’s tall and handsome. Did you know that he’s also a university lecturer who graduated from Jadeborough University? He has a bright future ahead of him. For my sake, why don’t you give him a chance? I won’t force you if you don’t like him, okay?” her mother begged.

Left with no choice, Queenie agreed. “Okay, I’ll leave as soon as I’m done eating.”

“I’m so glad you agreed! We can go there together.”

“Okay,” Queenie replied impatiently and hung up without waiting for a response.

Coincidentally, Zachary entered the room. “Queenie,” he called out.

“Can you take over my duty tomorrow night? I’ll be going out for a meal,” Queenie asked.

“No problem! I have good news. It looks like the robotic pacemakers aren’t here yet. According to the schedule, they would be here if Arielle sent them yesterday night. My guess is that it would be impossible for her to deliver them on time. We can prepare to take legal action against her,” Zachary replied with a smile.

Zachary’s words soothed Queenie’s irritable mood.

“Look for a lawyer then.” She took an ATM card out of her purse and tossed it on the table. “I’ll pay for the legal fees and leave the rest to you. No matter what, I don’t want to see anyone who is responsible for the patient.”

Although Zachary nodded in agreement, he made no move to take her card.

“How could I let you pay for it? Don’t worry; I’ll cover the fees. Please excuse me. I’m going to look for a lawyer right now,” Zachary said as he patted his chest with pride.

Queenie hesitated for a brief moment. “Maybe we don’t have to rush this. After all, the scheduled time is before midnight. If it arrives before that, we’ll be the laughing stock. Even worse, we might face litigation.”

“That’s impossible! If she’s truly capable, she would have shipped the machines here. Seeing how they aren’t here yet, it shows that she couldn’t send them over,” Zachary said hurriedly to assure her.

Queenie mulled over Zachary’s words before she agreed. “I’m going to check on the patients. I’ll leave this in your hands,” she said as she took a stack of medical records.
