Chapter 6- Arya

In the day there are thoughts, in the night there are dreams. 

Arya Du Vin seriously summed up the matter.

It must be because she felt very apologetic for slandering Dr.Jack Daniels, so she had such a dream. But why was it that after waking up, she had pondered over it?

It was the sentence that Dr.Jack Daniel said. The number of girlfriends that I have had can queue up from the main entrance of the hospital up to the front door of your house. Did he really have so many girlfriends?

Although Arya felt disdainful towards him gossiping about her behind her back, she still could not help but think about it again and again.

At this time she only realized that although she had long ago made Jack Daniel her target, from the time of her pursuit until the time she gave up, and after going through all that, she still did not understand this man.

What type of person is Dr. Jack Daniel?

Uncouth mouth, thick-skinned.......

Of course, his whole group of friends also knew that.

But when he is in the hospital, the face he shows his nurses and patients is another different face.

At least as far as she can see, after the man had put on his big white coat, he is molded into a human being.

His way of talking is relaxed and humorous which made people feel as if surrounded by spring wind.

His medical skills seem to be good so the number of patients who registered to consult him is particularly high. 

In the inpatient department, he is also a much sought-after popular person.

Other than this, what else does she know about him?

She realized she actually did not know anything at all except for deliberately inquiring that he did not have a girlfriend.

As to his family conditions, his emotional experiences, his preferences, etc., 

she totally did not know anything. Woman, ah.....only she with such blindness and such inadequacies of mind can do such a foolish thing like pursuing a man without knowing the slightest thing about him.

As a result, she created a whole bunch of problems for herself.

Summing up all the lessons learned, this should serve as a warning that this type of stupid action should never be repeated.

In addition, for peace of mind, the matter between him and her must be cleared up.

So, on Friday night, Arya set her alarm clock, and at 4 a.m. the next morning, she climbed out of bed to give Dr.Jack a call.

Listening to the 'too, too' calling tone on the phone, her heart also jumped nervously.

After waiting for a long while, someone picked up the phone on the other end. "Arya Du Vin, what time is it now?! It's best for you that this is an important call!!!" Jack's voice was hoarse and his voice was very loud.

It was obvious that he had just woken up and was in a bad mood.

So fierce!

Her scalp became to feel numb and under pressure, she felt her potential is stimulated.

"This is a very important matter. I am sincerely apologizing to you for corrupting your sexual orientation. It's true that it was wrong of me to say those words. The original meaning of those words was not like that but I don't know why it happened that way. Anyway, it was my fault. Since I dare to do it, I will take responsibility and I apologize to you."

"You chose this time of the day to apologize?" Jack's voice became louder.

Is he being played?

"Well, this particular time was specially chosen. It feels nice to wake you up. This is also considered I have avenged the wrongs done to me. In other words, you are not kind to me. Our matters must be separated and cannot be confused. Whatever you have done you will get the same as retribution. You don't have to make yourself unhappy when you see me because I also don't feel happy seeing you. So if unfortunately, we were to meet later, please turn your head away, don't look at me, and pretend you don't know me."

"Arya Du Vin....... Jack seems to be wide awake at this time and his voice sounded surprised and angry. "You really don't have money to see a doctor, do you? You can come early tomorrow morning. I will help you to jump the queue at the registration counter. You have to hurry up, mental illness is not a trivial matter. Your life still has hope if you get treatment early."

"Don't be so courteous. Tomorrow is Saturday, so I don't have to go to work. I'm going to sleep in. Dr. Jack Daniel, you have to work hard. Tomorrow you still have to work. You must work hard and earn more money."

"Not only do I also have to work tomorrow morning, but I've also just completed an emergency surgery. I've just slept for less than half an hour and in an outburst of your mental illness, you have called me. You just wait! The person who dares to treat me this way has yet to be born."

Ah, he actually performed emergency surgery in the

middle of the night and he still has to conduct his visiting rounds tomorrow morning.

Aiya....aiya.....it is really hard on him.

Arya gritted her teeth and totally wipe out all the heartaches she had felt for him.

"Dr. Jack, obviously you have not thoroughly studied the issue of human birth. Whatever I wanted to communicate with you, I am done. In short, you should do a review on yourself. We will not meet again!"

With that, she hung up the call.

Jack Daniel immediately called back.

The ringing tone made Arya's heart jump.

She ended the call but he dialed again.

Aiya, aiya.....must his fighting power be so strong?

He should be sleeping just after performing surgery.

What is the point of chasing after her?

She shut off her phone and slipped it under her pillow.

Then she heaved a sigh of relief and nestled back under her quilt. 

Excellent.......women also have dignity.

Even if she is such an ordinary woman who does not shine, occasionally her dignity will still shine.

After that, for a period of time, Arya did not meet jack.

Her life was peaceful without waves and calm like water.

Every day she ran around looking for customers to sell insurance and worked hard as an agent to sell all kinds of insurance. 

She had to earn money.

Although her family did not need her support, she still needs to send money home every month.

Doing this is not for anything else but for the sake of having a face.

The face of her family and her own face. 

(The word 'face' means a person's dignity, honor, and pride.)

Arya is not a person who is conceited but it is just that in the place she stays, her hometown, all her relatives and friends

like to compete with each other.

People staying in small places tend to spread gossip faster.

Every house, every lane, people staying far and near, everyone knew one another.

Originally, she was not bothered by these types of comparisons since it was not her business and she did not want to be involved.

But three years ago, something happened.

Her good friend Cindy was accused by her best girlfriend Lina of two-timing on her boyfriend and Lina had orchestrated a good show of catching Sophie red-handed in public.

For this reason, Cindy was spurned and rejected by her friends.

She was then tragically dumped by her boyfriend, for her betrayal.

In a small place, for a girl to betray her partner was

considered serious and Cindy was also caught red-handed on the spot in public.

Arya was a best friend of Cindy. So Lina who was also Cindy's best friend was also considered a best friend of Arya.

Those people who rejected Cindy were also her friends.

When that incident happened, Arya was also present and so she had witnessed everything.

Cindy had said she did not betray her boyfriend and was misunderstood.

But no one believed her.

In her heart, Arya had believed her but at that time, under those circumstances, she did not stand up nor spoke up for her good friend instead she had kept quiet and did not speak ä word.

She did not dare.

She was afraid of being isolated and rejected.

In that small place, the circle of friends was indeed big.

At that time, she had hesitated and later she regretted it.

She had stood on the side of that group of so-called righteous friends and in the end, she lost her good friend Cindy. Finally, Cindy left hometown, left this group of people and went to this city.

This thorn is lodged deep in Arya's heart. 

She felt Cindy was forced to leave and she was an accomplice.

This thorn was stuck painfully inside her and pricked into her conscience which was difficult to get rid of.

One fine day, she could not stand the pain any longer and faced up to her past misdeed.

She told everyone she believed Cindy was not this type of person and she said there must be a misunderstanding regarding this matter.

If this incident was really misunderstood, then it would mean that Lina and Cindy's ex were the culprits.

Certainly, Lina would not allow anyone to express their opinion on this matter.

As victims, Lina and Cindy's ex had received sympathy and support from everyone.

Therefore Arya who had stood up alone to voice her objection was expelled from the circle of friends.

The result of this expulsion was that all her actions and everything she did was discussed by these people....... She had grown fatter, she was wearing old clothes, she did not work well, she could not find a boyfriend..........

Human speech is like a poisonous tongue. Arya was bitten all over with bruises so she fled like Cindy to the same place that Cindy went......which was this city.

She and Cindy finally resolved their misunderstandings and became good friends again.

But the grudges at her home did not dissolve with her escape. She tried her best to carefully keep her personal information hidden.

She did not want to think of what other people were saying regarding her job, her position, the money she earned or the friends she made.

Having an occupation like selling insurance, in a small place like her hometown, is not something glorious.

When she came to the city, her job-hunting did not go well.

Later she joined the insurance business but during her trip home for the New Year, she was asked by a group of relatives and friends who gave her looks filled with gossip interest.

She was forced to swallow back the words 'selling insurance and instead told them she was working in a trading company.

Then her parents displayed satisfied expressions and her relatives did not have any flaws they could pick on her nor gossip about her.

From the group of friends who had parted ways with her, she did not hear any gossips,

At that time, Arya breathed a sigh of relief.

But a lie can only be covered up with more lies and therefore,

Arya seldom return home and rarely contacted her family.

In fact, Arya is very satisfied with her job and her time is flexible.

She has the freedom to do what she likes and up to a certain extent, she is also able to help others. She is able to earn money and leads a comfortable life.

This made her satisfied. She was not only selling insurance, but she was also really trying to serve her clients.

This day, one of her clients was admitted into the hospital due to a car accident.

A call was made to her and Arya rushed to the hospital. She went to ask for details of the accident and was prepared to help her client make insurance claims.

Unfortunately, Dr. Jack Daniels works in that hospital and unfortunately, he was also the doctor-in-charge for the ward that her client was staying in.

Although she had picked a time which she would not easily have a chance encounter with him to go over to the hospital, however, she was still cornered in the tea room by Jack Daniels,

"Arya Du Vin, you still dare to come here."

"The hospital is a public place. Why can't I come? Anyway, this room is rather hidden. It is inappropriate for us, a man and a woman, to be alone here. Since Dr. Jack is so busy, it is best you go and help the dying and heal the injured. The world needs you."

"What mental illness did you have at that time when you

scolded me in the middle of the night? Why did you call me?"

1 didn't scold you. Obviously, I called you to apologize."

"Is it?" Jack folded his arms across his chest with an expression that said 'You can keep lying

Is he planning to waste time with her?

Arya frowned and put down the hot water flask.

She folded her arms across her chest with an expression that said. What do you intend to do?"

Jack raised his eyebrows at her and said loudly. "Oh, you have made progress. I'll give you a chance to have your say. The one in the wrong is you, why is it that you are still so courageous?"

She did not speak.

She could not think of any sharp biting words and since she would not win in this verbal spat, she would remain silent.

Even suffocating him to death was considered she had won.

As expected, Jack was unhappy and he said. "What do you mean when you said I am not kind? Just because I won't let you attend the gathering and made you reject Cindy's Invitation? What you did at that time, you should know. Do you still want me to smile and thank you for slandering me? I am a man and I will not tolerate anyone slandering me. 1 can't control what others do and it is also their freedom but you sullied my male dignity. This is a very serious matter."

So what? She also has female dignity. He bad-mouthed her in front of his female nurses and she is also hurt.

"You didn't reflect on your misdeed but also harassed me in the middle of the night. Why? Are you trying to attract my attention?"

A fierce glare was thrown at him.

"What?....... Isn't what I said correct? Then why were you running around the hospital all day during that time?"

Her wounds were exposed. Arya blushed and felt embarrassed.

Jack did not care and continued to scold her. "You are a woman that changes too quickly and you are not sure what you are thinking about. It is alright that you have stopped coming suddenly and not wasting the hospital resources is also a good thing. But why are you treating me like an enemy? Suddenly you ignore me and insult me, are you playing with me? Let me tell you, in this matter, you are in the wrong. A man's dignity is just like a woman's body which cannot be ridiculed."

Is he still saying she is in the wrong? Is she the one changing very quickly? Is it correct for him to gossip about others behind their backs? He can even call himself a man!

Arya felt so angry that she blurted out. "Dr. Jack's meaning is that a man's body cannot be casually teased, right? This is immoral. What is so great about being a man? Do you think only men have dignity and women don't? Dr. Jack values himself so highly and so treats other people as lowly. 'Do not do unto others, what you do not like done to yourself. Has Dr. Jack studied this before? You should understand the meaning of this I have done wrong and I dare to apologize. Does Dr. Jack dare? Why is men's dignity more important than women's? Let me tell you, a woman's dignity is the same as a man's ***** Weakness can only be painful and hardness can bring pride."

She spoke the string of words without pausing. Jack was taken by surprise and then he reacted by laughing.

Laugh? What is there to laugh at? So annoying! "You really have courage, Arya. You're awesome, and you also have guts.

What? What? Stinky rogue!!
