Chapter 254 Not interested.
Though Delyth knew that she hadn't given a good first impression to him, she knew that every man holds an urge to protect the woman who is weak and vulnerable. And this gentleman of the doctor couldn't be any different.
As long as she acts frail, he would agree to help and forget whatever impression he had of her in the first time. After all, holding a grudge with a crippled woman would only degrade his reputation. For Arwen or any woman, he would sacrifice it. With that confidence, she glanced up at him, keeping her gaze soft and tearful.
Dr. Cred who had noted the words, looked back at Jason with slight confusion. "Dr. Clark, do you know her?" he asked, already assuming the back of his mind.
Given she was dressed in the patient's clothes, it wasn't hard for him to guess she was a patient here. If she was a patient here, and she knew Dr. Clark, it would be possible that the help Jason was referring to before was regarding her.
Before Jason could speak, Delyth answered Dr. Cred, her voice laced with hidden excitement. "Yes, Dr. Clark is a friend of mine."
Hearing her, the old doctor smiled. The earlier request of Jason started to make sense to him. So, he really wanted help for this lady. No wonder, he reached him out. But something still felt amiss. His gaze darted back to Jason. If he truly wanted help for a patient, he doesn't need to be so humble. With just a small order, it would be easily taken care of.
But then did he hold a position to even question there? If the young Dr. Clark makes a request, no hospital in the entire Cralens holds the authority to refuse him. It was his fortune that he came to ask him. At least this way he got to make acquaintance with such an influential figure.
Thinking like that, Dr. Cred was ready to ask someone to look for Delyth's medical reports, so that he could personally ask the best of the doctors of the hospital to treat her. But just when he would have signalled someone around, Jason's words halted him.
Shaking his head, he quickly apologized. "Oh, definitely not!" That's not what I meant," he said, and then shifted his gaze to Delyth to add, "I was just introducing this lady and —"
"Dr. Cred, I rarely get time to dive into other studies. My all interest and time are invested in medicine," Jason said, keeping it short. "Don't think too much. I won't get time to get interested in any dance form, given my current schedule. But if you are interested you should definitely dive in further. It's good to diversify your knowledge always."
Dr. Cred didn't know what to say. He has no interest in dance either. It was just that recently he had come across several articles about Delyth Ember and had recognized her from there. If not, he would have known her either.
But then explaining this would only embarrass the lady, so he didn't bother. Furthermore, he felt that the more he tried to explain himself, the more wrong was getting perceived. So, not deteriorating his impression anymore, he simply cleared his throat and nodded, "I will think about it, Dr. Clark."
Then looking back at Delyth, he gave her a long look before saying, "Ms. Ember, Dr. Clark is a guest in our hospital. I hope you don't mind going back to your room to rest first." With that, he gestured for a nurse to come forward and take her away.
The nurse quickly walked but just when she was about to wheel her away, Delyth held the wheel and said, "Wait! Don't take me away. I have something to talk to Dr. Clark."
Since she had held the wheel, the nurse could not control the wheelchair anymore.
Delyth then looked at Jason once again and said, "Dr. Clark, you must know me. I mean we clearly met before at South City Hospital. You were there with Arwen and we — Did she say something to make you misunderstand me?"
Jason turned to look at her with a frown. "Miss, I think it's you who is misunderstanding something here." His voice came calm, but carrying a sharp edge. "You don't hold any significant position where people will create misunderstandings about you."
