Arya had heard about Dr. Jack's family at the last gathering. That time, she had heard that his father was the Deputy Dean of the hospital.

Just now she was not bothered but now as she stood up, she tried to swallow her donut. She also secretly peeked at the elderly man to study him clearly. Dr. Jack’s Father really had a dignified appearance of a Deputy Dean with thick eyebrows, thin lips, and a square chin.

He looked at her for a moment and only nodded his head slightly. He did not display any major reaction. However, Arya felt panic-stricken as she has always been fearful of her elders. After she tried to swallow, she quickly greeted him. "Uncle….."

Wrong. She is not familiar with him. Calling him as uncle is a bit too casual. Is greeting him as Deputy Dean alright? What if she remembered wrongly?

She was again tongue-tied. She breathed heavily and finally, she said. "How are you, Dr. Daniel?"

Yes. Regardless of whatever title he has, greeting him as a doctor al

    "Save you? What is the matter?""I'm on a blind date.""You've met rogues?""No. No. They are more powerful than rogues." Arya looked around her. Other than the lady who was washing her hands, there was no one. She held the phone close and said in a whisper. "He brought his mother."The other end of the phone was very quiet. Then Dr. Jack's patient voice could be heard. "So what if he brings his mother? Do you need to be saved? You are a bit over-exaggerating. If he is not suitable for you, you can just leave.""He is introduced by a friend. I cannot be rude towards him.""Even if he is introduced by a friend, there is no guarantee that both of you will marry and have children.""He is not an ordinary friend. This man is her business associate. If I don’t handle this properly, it may affect my friend.""Then you have to do the proper way. Just chat with them and then you can leave.

    Arya was stunned.Why did his words sound like she was a mentally ill patient who had ran away?She was frozen in her seat with stupidity. Even in her imagination, she could not even imagine Jack would be able to come up with such a sentence.He is really talented!She felt regretful. She reviewed herself. She was really mistaken. She should not have illusions about Dr. Jack. What conscience? What compassion? All these words were overpraising him.Dunphy Jay looked surprised and Dunphy Mother's expression changed even more unpredictable."Arya, what illness do you have?"She looked at this person, then looked at the other person, she opened her mouth but was speechless. It was Mr. Jack who was calm and collected. "She has hemophobia and needs to go for a psychiatric consultation. Sorry, it is difficult to make an appointment with Director and it is necessary to make the appointment in advance. She is very late for her appointment and I've to take her to the hospital."Dunph

Jack refused to meet Arya's gaze, he only chatted with his mother."I came out with my friends for fun.""Where are your friends then?""They already left.""Then why are you still here?""Actually, I was about to leave but before that, I went to the toilet. I saw Arya dear making a phone call in the toilet and she called the person on the phone, Dr. Jack. I felt very close to her since she also knows a doctor by the name of Dr. Jack. She called out the names Dr. Jack and Lord Jack and I thought this doctor's name is also Jack just like my son's name. So I decided to stay back to see."It can be said that she deliberately stayed back to listen to the gossip.His mother had also referred to her as dear. Oh, God!

When the other end of the phone sounded with Jack's voice, she found that her heart rate quickened.From her experience when speaking to Jack, she knew it was useless to speak courteously to him. Therefore, after greeting him, she directly asked him to help her friend set an appointment with Director Jon.On Jack's side, he obviously did not expect her to call him regarding such a matter. He kept silent on his end. Arya was wondering whether this was too troublesome for him and whether it was inconvenient for him. She was already thinking of what else to say to him if he refused to help as she wanted to chat with him a bit longer.Then Jack opened his mouth to speak with a hint of disappointment. "Arya, do you only call me when you need my help?""Ah?" If she calls him without any purpose, she will definitely get an earful from him, isn't that right?"When you were enjoying yourself, eating, drinking and having fun with Mark and the others,

    Arya lowered her head to pack up the things and pretended she did not hear him. This person is indeed really really hateful, why can't he wait until the two elders have left before he says anything? In this way, how can she step down? He really lacks judgment.She deftly packed all the things quickly, tied up the plastic bag containing the bones and rushed over to the trash bin to throw it away. Turning around, she walked back to the bench just in time to hear the Deputy Dean Dr.Daniel whisper to his wife. "Didn’t I tell you to wait for a while? Why did you simply pick up food to eat?"Jack Mother replied. "I'm not a dog."Arya also said. "It's fresh and clean prepared at home with good ingredients."One old and one young, both Dr. Daniels looked at her. Arya touched her nose and lowered her head to pick up her bag.

    Arya felt her face turned slightly red. She quickened her steps thinking to move ahead of him and found her hand was clasped in Jack’s hand.When she pulled her hand away, she turned back to sneak a look at him.Perhaps it was because he had drunk some wine, there was a lazy smile on his face and he looked somewhat relaxed.Feeling angry, she said. "You’re really something. If it had been me, seeing my friend is worried about me, I would definitely feel very guilty and will not feel so proud like you. What is there to be so proud of?”She was very fierce. Jack did not mind, only gave a humph and replied. "Are you referring to that time when you canceled your cell phone number and hid in the hospital? That time when no one could find you and made your friends worried about you…..did you feel guilty?”She choked.This person is really remarkably agile with recounting old debts."Let me tell you, I have a good reason for making those phone calls to you.”"Uh.” He nodded and walked lazily

That guy had very early brought Cindy back here to fawn on his in-laws and he could not wait for the ring to be ready. So he had asked Jack for a favor to deliver the ring when it was ready.

Jack grinned. “This is called coincidence. It’s God’s arrangement. So this is considered as you have met the parents now, right?” “No. Your mother said that your father doesn’t like me.” Jack’s smile froze on his face, and then he wrinkled his eyebrows and glared. “How can they obstruct me from dating you?” Arya wanted to laugh at the expression on his face. She did not know whether he was referring to ‘her’ or ‘him’ and anyway, both the two elderly were pulling his hind legs. “Arya, since you are intimidated by my parents, then you should not let me have it easy.
