Feeling a bit disappointed, Daphne thought Rowan did it on purpose. Surely, he was fed up with her by now. But how could she put an end to this situation with her parents’ persistent and relentless rural character? It would be strange if they didn't make a scene at the hospital.
At Charity Medical Center, everything was orderly. Rowan was in a very busy state, having seamlessly completed two surgeries that morning. It wasn't until later that he noticed the missed calls on his phone, sfrom Daphne and sfrom Mrs. Well.
He wouldn't care about Daphne's call.
But when Mrs. Well called, as her junior, he felt obliged to return the call, so he called her back immediately.
"Rowan, have you been busy all this time?" Mrs. Well's cheerful voice cthrough the phone, with no hint of blame.

"We've arrived in Arkpool City and just got off the train. We're planning to cto your hospital for a check-up. Are you free at noon? We'd like to invite Daphne and have a meal together, the four of us, what do you think?" Rowan could sense her intentions, and said, "I'm free at noon, but there's no need to have a meal together. Your daughter and | were in the news a couple of days ago, and the hospital fired her." "What? It was in the news? What happened? She was fired?" It was clear that Mrs. Well hadn't been paying attention. Her heart sank with worry, "What did my daughter do?" Rowan didn't want to beat around the bush and answered directly, "I have a girlfriend now, so | need to keep my distance from your daughter, Daphne. There's no need for a meal. If you want to have a check-up, you can cto our hospital. I'll arrange for someone to take care of it. Just givea call when you arrive." "What?" Mrs. Well was shocked, "You already have a girlfriend?" It seemed the focus was not on the check-up, "When did this happen? Why haven't | heard about it?" "Yes," Rowan emphasized again, "I have a girlfriend now." Until the end of the call, Mrs. Well hadn't recovered from the shock. She felt as if she'd lost a great treasure. Was it because they acted too late? Daphne picked up her parents at the train station and took them to the rented apartment. On the way, her parents kept asking her if Rowan really had a girlfriend.
"Yes, yes, yes, didn't | tell you already?" Daphne was annoyed.
Mrs. Well scolded, "You lived in his house for a while, why didn't you try harder then? If you could be with Rowan, you wouldn't have to worry for the rest of your life!" Hearing this, Daphne's mood worsened, "I didn't think about whether | would worry for the rest of my life or not. | like him, but what can | do if he doesn't like me?!" "..." Mrs. Well was speechless.
However, Daphne didn't want to vent her bad mood on her parents, who had cfrom far away.
Mr. Wells sighed, "We sent you to study and you worked hard. How could happiness slip away when it was right within your reach?" Daphne was even more speechless, "Stop talking, my head hurts." Her mental state was not good due to excessive drinking in the past few days, and her mood was constantly gloomy.
"Daphne, your father is talking to you, can't you hear him? What's with your attitude? Your head hurts?" Mrs. Well also felt regretful, "How long has Rowan been dating his girlfriend? Are they stable in their relationship?" If it's unstable, just snatch it!
