Chapter 1314 I Have An Appointment
After the lady left, the other patients and hospital staff also went back minding their own businesses.
Cassie and Jordan were left standing at the hallway. "I'm really sorry." Cassie finally broke the silence.
"And thank you for helping me." She felt embarrassed about the scene earlier.
Looking at the beautiful woman's face with fascination, Jordan said in a slightly dull voice, "It's my
pleasure. What a coincidence. I'm just discharged today. And you are not only my friend, but also my
sister's best friend. So I think it's just right for me to help you."
"Jordan, I really don't know how I can repay you for what you did today. Thank you," Cassie said very
solemnly and bowed her thanks.
Jordan felt amused, motioning with his hand to stop her. Pondering for a while, he said, "Well, if you
really want to thank me, why not..."
"Why not?" Cassie repeated, feeling confused. When her eyes met Jordan's, her heart couldn't help
beating faster.
Cassie always felt that Jordan's attitude towards her was a little unusual, but she could not figure out
why.
"Why not invite me to dinner to show you're thankful?" Jordan finally said it. He was thinking of asking
her out for a long time now, but he couldn't find the courage.
Cassie's heart beat faster at his suggestion, but soon she recovered. It was just a meal in order to
thank him. It was very normal. 'What am I thinking?' she reminded herself.
So she nodded softly, "Okay, Jordan. When are you free? I'll treat you to dinner."
"Since we have the fate to meet today. How about tonight? I'll wait for you until your shift is done,"
Jordan quickly replied. 'That was smooth, ' he thought to himself.
Cassie felt a little unsure again. She said hesitantly, "But you have just been discharged from the
hospital. Don't you need to go home and rest?"
"I've been all right for a long time. But Cora worried that I haven't completely recovered. So she asked
me to stay in the hospital until today." He guaranteed her with a smile.
Hearing this, Cassie could only nod to agree with his invitation.
While getting off work, Cora greeted Cassie when she passed by her seat.
An idea suddenly crossed Cassie's mind at the sight of Cora. She decided to ask Cora, "Hey! There is
someone inviting us to dinner. Would you like to go?"
Food had always been a magic word. Hearing there would be free food to eat, Cora became more
energetic. She quickly held Cassie's hand and asked, "Which admirer of yours invited us to dinner?"
Cassie felt a strain in her heart with Cora's reaction. She said casually, "Not my admirer. I wanted to
thank someone for helping me out. So I'm going to treat him to dinner."
"You want to thank someone for helping you?" she repeated, stressing on the word "someone." Cora
suddenly felt something unusual and asked with a smile, "Who is this knight in shining armor? Do I
know him?"
"You'll know when we get there. Hurry up. We're going to the restaurant now," Cassie answered
nervously.
Cassie and Cora waited at the entrance of the hospital. Cora saw her brother's car parked there, but
initially didn't mind it.
She couldn't help wondering, 'Didn't Jordan go through the discharge formalities and go home in the
afternoon? Then why is he still here?'
Cora said to Cassie, "Wait for me. I'll just say hello to my brother."
She walked towards Jordan's car and knocked on the window.
Jordan felt a little shocked when he saw Cora. He opened his window halfway down and gave her an
unnatural smile. "Hey, Cora? Why are you here?"
"I was wondering why you were still here. Didn't you got discharged earlier this afternoon?" Cora
couldn't help asking.
Glancing at his sister, Jordan did not want to tell her he had dinner plans with Cassie. He was afraid
she would invite herself to tag along. At this moment, Jordan only hoped Cora could leave as soon as
possible. If Cassie came out and saw her, she would probably feel shy and embarrassed.
While Jordan was thinking of how to let his sister leave, Cassie also came to his car.
"Hey, Jordan!" she greeted. "Sorry, we're a little late. Have you been waiting for a long time?" she
asked politely.
That was when Cora finally understood everything. She looked at her brother with wide eyes, looked
back at Cassie, and then suddenly started laughing.
"My dear brother, I was actually wondering if you had been waiting here for a long time just to pick me
up. You were never so considerate before. Sure enough, you were waiting for Cassie! Why didn't you
tell me earlier?" Jordan felt embarrassed on what his sister just said. Cassie's face also showed a shy
smile.
As Cassie had expected, all three of them got into the car. Jordan was really embarrassed at this
moment. How could his sister be so clueless? Didn't she see her brother was dating? Why did she still
decide to come?
Actually, Cora knew what her brother was thinking about, but her hands were tightly grasped by
Cassie, whose strength made her dare not move even a little.
A few minutes later, they came to an upscale western restaurant. When ordering, Jordan politely asked
Cassie what she would like to eat.
Seeing her brother acting so considerate, Cora snickered. She never saw him be so courteous around
women.
Cassie felt a little embarrassed. Originally, it was she who invited Jordan to dinner. But now Jordan
acted like a host.
At last, each person ordered his own favorable dishes and dinner was served.
While eating, Jordan had his attention to Cassie. He kept talking to her, making her a little
uncomfortable. So as soon as he finished the last topic, Cassie immediately pulled Cora's hands,
asking for help.
Cora knew it was a distress call, but she could not interrupt her brother's words obviously. After all, she
knew that her brother was really fond of revenge. Jordan might have silently cursed her thousands of
times during this meal. Cora forced a smile when her eyes met Jordan's. Jordan was still talking
nonstop, and slightly nodded his head to acknowledge her.
All Cora wanted now was to finish the meal peacefully and then head back home.
"Cassie, how about going to a movie together after dinner? I know there's a good film on show recently.
You're sure to like it." Jordan's movie invitation took Cassie by surprise.
She didn't know how to respond.
'I just want to treat him to dinner to thank him. Why does he still invite me to see a movie now?' Cassie
wondered.
She immediately kicked Cora's foot under the table, asking for help again. She didn't want to see a
movie with an unfamiliar man.
"Oh, brother," Cora finally interrupted. "Didn't you just asked for such a few days' leave? There must be
a lot of things for you to preside over in your department. We all have to get up early to go to work
tomorrow. So we'd better hurry home after eating." Under Cassie's earnest hope, Cora could only open
her mouth.
Jordan had cursed his sister too many times but he couldn't show it on his face. So he smiled and
became gentler. He said, "Cora, I have nothing to do tomorrow. Besides, it's still early. The movie will All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
finish before 11 o'clock."
Cora dared not speak again after hearing Jordan's statement. She knew that the gentler her brother
was, the fiercer he might be in retaliation in the future.
Seeing Cora cut her tongue, Cassie could only say directly, "Jordan, I have an appointment later. So I
couldn't see a movie with you. We could go to the cinema next time, okay?"
'Appointment?' The word stung like a giant bee. Jordan's heart sank. 'It's not early now. Why does she
still have an appointment at this time? Who is she going to date? Man or woman? Is that her boyfriend
called Nick?'
