Chapter 271 I Think I Have Seen This Woman Before
Lysander said, “Michelle’s scores are good, so she should go to a science and engineering university and choose a good major.”
“A science and engineering university…”
“Mom, if you have any thoughts, you can tell me.”
Laura said, “I was thinking, Zachary is currently in a state-owned enterprise. After all, he will be Michelle’s brother-in-law, our family. I was thinking, could we let Michelle study architecture or civil engineering, so that in the future, after she graduates, Zachary can help her get into the state-owned enterprise.”
Lysander gently advised, “Mom, a state-owned enterprise might not necessarily suit Michelle’s personality.”
“What’s not suitable about it? A state-owned enterprise is much more stable than a private one. You know what Michelle is like. It’s hard to imagine her working hard and getting promoted for a raise. In a state-owned enterprise, regardless of good or bad, they always pay the salary on time. A stable job is so much better.”
“But…”
“How about this? Call Zachary and ask him to come over for dinner. Your dad and I can ask him about his work situation.”
Lysander’s eyes flickered. “He’s been very busy lately. Let’s not bother him.”
“Is his work getting busy again?”
“Yeah.”
“So… what about your wedding plans? Will it be postponed again? Oh dear, your dad and I were thinking of getting engaged after the New Year and having the wedding on Labor Day. How long is he going to be busy?”
Lysander shook her head. “I’m not sure either. Mom, Dad, let’s eat. The food is getting cold.”
As they were speaking, there was a knock at the door,
Michelle immediately stood up. “Is it Zachary? I’ll go open the door.”
Laura stood up happily. “Then I’ll go to the kitchen and get another set of cutlery.”
Before she could finish her sentence, Michelle’s puzzled voice sounded. “Miss, who are you looking
for?”
“I’m looking for… Dr. Thorne. I texted her this afternoon but she didn’t reply. Did I disturb you at dinner?”
Balance:
“Oh, okay…”
Maverick suddenly furrowed his brows slightly, “I feel like I’ve seen this woman before.”
Michelle got her father’s confirmation and nodded repeatedly. “Right? She does look familiar.”
Laura served them both food, whispering, “Why do you think she’s familiar? She’s a patient of Lysander’s, and Lysander’s patients are all from the obstetrics and gynecology department. Have either of you been to the obstetrics and gynecology department at Central Hospital?”
Michelle pursed her lips. She laughed heartily and said, “That’s true, probably a case of mistaken identity. Let’s eat, let’s eat. Wow, we have garlic butter prawn today!”
“Don’t choose. Save some for Lysander.”
Lysander put on a coat and stepped out of the house,
As she closed the door, the lively chatter of her parents and sister inside the house was shut out.
Lysanne said, “My car is downstairs, Dr. Thorne. Shall we talk in the car?”
