He smiled warmly, "Don't be surprised, my father is half british and half Korean, I have a Chinese name but I prefer to use the English one,". She returned the smile, confirming in her mind that he seems to be a really friendly person since not everyone would want to explain their origin at the first meeting.

"oh, I see, I was wondering why you looked like a mixed-race" she turned to the grandma

​​

"Grandma, you have a really handsome grandson," She complimented without looking at the gentleman who was smiling at how openminded she is to have praised his looks in his presence.

"You see, that is why I told you to consider my grandson," she pulled his hand closer to her and use her other hand to swipe him from his head to toe.

"Look, he is very handsome, he is also very tall and he is also a lawyer, why won't you leave your boyfriend for him, is he even as handsome as my grandson?" the grandma persisted, it was very clear that she hasn't given up matchmaking Yu Yan and her grandson, John stood still in confusion, what are they talking about? when did they talk about matchmaking both of them?

He realized what was going on. Sigh! 

"Grandma, you can't say something like that to her, how do you expect her to break up with her boyfriend just because you want to matchmake her with your grandson," he sighed and turned to Yu Yan.

"I apologise on my grandma's behalf, she is not usually like this so..." he had a guilty look on his face that Yu Yan wondered what type of person he really is, who wears such guilty expression for something as trivial as that.

"You don't have to apologize, Mr John, I really enjoyed your grandmother's company in the hospital, it is such a pity that she would be getting discharged today-no I didn't mean it that way, I meant I can't bear to part with her," she quickly corrected herself seeing the questioning look on his face.

But the next thing that followed is the sound of his grandma hitting him, John swiftly turned to his grandma when he felt the pain on his thigh, she just used a huge force to hit him on his thigh-Pity-he really looked wronged.

"Naughty child, I am trying to persuade her to accept you but you are ruining my effort, where would you find a young woman as beautiful...." she turned to Yu Yan with an admiring smile on her wrinkled face.

"Capable, respectful and sweet as her, you are really missing the golden chance right in front of you," she turned back to him with a deep and scolding frown on her face.

Exactly why is his grandma so infatuated with Yu Yan? he looked at the young lady who was smiling awkwardly.

She is indeed beautiful and she seems capable but is it enough to make her like this, his grandmother who has never hit him before actually did it for the first time because of-this lady.

"Yu Yan child, don't listen to him, do consider him, he might seem foolish but I can assure you that he is also a good-natured person, when he was in high school he won the award-----------------------------" his grandmother kept mentioning all his achievement from young till his present age.

Yu Yan and John "..." they were both stunned as they watched her narrate his history, they exchanged glances for a second but John who was embarrassed could only smile awkwardly with a slight bow.

"I understand grandma, for now, let's complete your discharge process, I am sure you can't wait to leave the hospital," she respectfully interjected when the old woman made her pause to recharge her breath, but the old woman sighed again.

"If only I could take you with me as his wife, it would be so great," 

John "---" he smiled awkwardly again with his eyes shut in embarrassment.

"Mr John, I have completed everything I need to do as her surgeon, all you need to do is check-out at the reception and sign the necessary documents then you are free to go, I have monitored her condition for a long time so I don't think there would be any problem but if there is please don't hesitate to bring her back, you should ensure she has her three square meals in a day and make sure she drinks a lot of water every day, ah! also make sure she sleeps early, lack of sleep might cause her to be stressed and I am sure we don't want that," she concluded her cautioning with a doctorly smile directed at the patient's guardian.

{she is really meticulous,}

"Right?" Yu Yan probed when she didn't get an answer from him, making him snap out of his thoughts.

"Of course we don't, I will make sure she adheres to everything you just said now,"

"Good, If there is nothing else, I will take my leave now,"

"Grandma, please take care of yourself and tell your grandson if you feel uncomfortable any day," the old woman smiled in reply then she nodded her head and left the ward.

Phew!

{Thank God Chen Kai wasn't here to witness his woman being joined with another guy}

"Surgeon Yu Yan," someone called from behind her, she turned to see who it was but it turned out to be a nurse that she isn't familiar with.

"How can I help you?" she inquired.

"There is someone in the reception who wants to see you," the nurse answered, Yu Yan creased her forehead hearing that.

She wasn't expecting anyone's visit and she doesn't think there is anyone who would visit her at her workplace except for her parents and the twins who are currently at school.

"Who Is it?" 

"Hmmn-Your boyfriend," the nurse answered with a teasing smile, Yu Yan recognised that look that everyone has been given her ever since Han Chen was seen holding her hand.

"My boyfriend?" she repeated to make sure she heard the right thing.

"Yeah, the one who was holding your hand out of the hospital," the nurse replied, she was one of the nurses who had personally witnessed the scene, Yu Yan sighed and rolled her eyes, for a second, she thought Chen Kai was in the hospital.

But then-no one knows he is her boyfriend.

{Why is he here, wasn't he frowning at me yesterday,}

She somehow felt guilty remembering his frown and accusing gaze but she still couldn't understand what she did wrong to make the atmosphere between them change.

"Where is he?"

"He is waiting for you at the reception," the nurse replied, Yu Yan nodded and started making her way to the reception but she stopped and turned with her finger pointing at the nurse and a threatening look in her eyes.

"Firstly, he is not my boyfriend, I have said this too many times for it to not sink into your brains and secondly, you will not go around gossiping that he is here, would you?" she inclined her head to the side, demanding for an answer.

The nurse gulped down her saliva and nodded her head, " Of course,"

"Of course..."

"Of course, I wouldn't go around telling anyone that your boyf...no your friend is here to see you," 

{Friend?}

"Not friend, he is merely an acquaintance and nothing more,". the nurse nodded, indicating that she would use the appropriate term from now on but she could see that Yu Yan is denying something which she doesn't want to admit. Watching her back, she couldn't help but sigh.

"Does who deny their feelings are really pitiful," she remarked

---

She got to the reception and looked around for her supposed acquaintance, she found him facing the glass walls of the reception.

{His back view is really attractive,}

Like a reflex, she couldn't stop her thoughts.

"What am I thinking," she shook her head to remove the thought and walked up to him.

"Hmmnhmmn-" He turned back to see her standing behind him, he styled his medium length hair to the back again.

"What a pity, you looked better in the combed wave style--" 

{What did I just say?}

She looked away awkwardly and shut her eyes tightly while he looked at her in shock, was she making a comment on his hairstyle?

He smiled inwardly at the thought of it but he was still crossed knowing that she holds someone else dearly in her heart, the only person he wants her to think of and be excited for is him and him only.

"What are you here for?" she quickly spoke before he mentions her comment, the tone she spoke to him in didn't sound pleasant in his ears, the smile in his mind quickly faded away.

"I just came to tell you that your car has been repaired, I parked it in the hospitals parking space, here," he handed a keychain to her.

"This is the key," after she collected it, he turned around to leave.

"Wai...." he had already gone out through the revolving door.

"What exactly is wrong with him?" she questioned with a frustrated look on her face, before the running incident, they were always bickering, teasing, and speaking to in each other sometimes in a friendly manner but now he seems--too distant.

{Was I already taking him as a friend?}

She questioned herself.
