Love Contract novel Chapter 122

The next day, Mary came to the hospital to visit her mother. As soon as she reached the corner, she saw several nurses surrounding Lucas. They were all blushing while talking to him.

"Dr. Murong, are you going to the party tonight?"

"Dr. Murong, do you already have a female companion?"

"Can we head out from the hospital together, Dr. Murong?"

With a faint smile, Lucas slightly shook his forehead and opened his mouth. He patiently answered their questions one by one. This made him less unruly and more approachable.

Mary shook her head with a smile. He really was an attractive doctor, no wonder women were asking him to go out with them.

"I will..." Lucas was struggling to withstand the 'siege' of so many people. When he was thinking of a solution, he looked up and saw Mary. He felt as if she was his savior. He called her name and quickly ran to her. "Mary! Here you are!"

"Yes. They're so lively!" Mary nodded at them.

"I'll accompany you to your mother." Without waiting for Mary's answer, Lucas grabbed her hand and left the nurses behind.

"You... Why are you walking in such a hurry?" Mary frowned.

"The most important thing is to escape," Lucas said exaggeratedly.

"Humph..." Mary smiled helplessly.

They went to the ward together and Lucas opened the door for her. "Auntie, I'm here again!

"Dr. Murong is here again!" Mary's mother turned around with a smile and said, "Mary is here too!"

"Yes." Mary came over and asked, "Mom, how are you feeling today?"

"I'm fine." Mary's mother smiled and asked, "Why didn't William come? I haven't seen him for a long time."

"He..." Mary's face froze. She opened her mouth but did not know what to say.

"As the CEO of the company, he has a very busy schedule," answered Lucas in a hurry. He glanced at Mary worriedly, and then pretended to be laughing. He must have felt that Mary turned upset. "Let's wait for him tomorrow. We'll drag him to here."

"Ha ha." Mary's mother smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if he is busy. I'm okay as long as Mary comes for me."

"Okay." Mary smiled as she squeezed her mother's hand gently.

"Dr. Murong, are you free tonight?" While the three were busy chatting, the nurse who was assigned to make the rounds in the wards came over. She turned to Lucas and asked him with a red face, "Tonight's party..."

"I already have a female companion. I'm really sorry!" Lucas immediately put on an apologetic expression.

"Oh, I see..." The nurse left looking a bit sad and lonely.

"Do you have any activities tonight?" asked Mary.

"There will be a party held by the medical association here," answered Lucas. "It requires men to take a female companion, and women to take a male companion. Unfortunately, I have also received the invitation."

"I see. Where is the misfortune in this?" asked Mary while frowning.

"Dr. Murong, don't you want to go?" Mary's mother added, "It's good for young people to go out and have fun."

"When I arrived here this morning, many nurses came to me to ask if I already have a female companion for tonight. I was stressed. I didn't know who to choose." Lucas looked distressed.

Mary's mother just looked at him. Mary was speechless as well.

"Dr. Murong, you are such a good-looking man. Of course you should pick a good-looking woman," Mary's mother said with a smile.

"Do you think so, aunt?" Lucas smiled proudly but his face darkened in an instant. "But I don't think they're as pretty as Mary."

"Yes, Mary is not that bad, right?" Mary's mother said while looking at Mary with pride.

"Mom! How could you say that?" said Mary who turned red from embarrassment.

Sitting at the side of the bed, she raised her hand and gently tucked the scattered hair behind her ears.

Lucas' eyes became deeper and deeper as he gazed at her. His heart throbbed inexplicably.

"Mary is very beautiful," Lucas said. As a matter of fact, he could not move his eyes away from her.

Hearing this, Mary turned around and looked at him with a pure smile.

Her smile hit Lucas hard in the chest. He seemed to hear his heart flutter.

"Auntie, can I borrow Mary for a night?" After he stared at her, an idea popped into his mind.

"What?" Surprised, Mary's mouth fell open.
