Love at First Sight? Mr. Harrison Has Been Scheming All Along-Chapter 147: "I’m Willing to Support You for a Lifetime.

Chapter 147: Chapter 147: "I’m Willing to Support You for a Lifetime.

The two were chatting so happily that neither of them noticed Rory Linden come in.

At that moment, Evan Hollis was sitting by the hospital bed. They seemed to have hit upon an interesting topic and were laughing together.

Rory Linden simply stood at the door and watched for a moment...

’Their relationship seems unusually good.’

In Rory Linden’s memory, Charlotte Rhodes wasn’t exactly a kind-faced old woman. The few times she had seen her interact with Sean Harrison also proved she wasn’t the type of mother to dote on her child.

When she was hospitalized here before, she had made it clear that no doctor’s or nurse’s white coat was to touch her bedsheets.

If one did, the sheets had to be changed immediately.

In her eyes, doctors’ white coats came into contact with countless germs every day and were the filthiest of clothes.

Yet here was Evan Hollis, wearing scrubs under his white coat, sitting right on Charlotte Rhodes’s bed, and she didn’t react at all.

Evan Hollis was a man who was very popular at the hospital.

Everyone liked him.

Rory Linden could understand Charlotte Rhodes knowing Evan Hollis, having a good impression of him, and being willing to talk to him.

But...

’This is all just too strange.’

A thought even flashed through Rory Linden’s mind.

’Could they have some kind of secret relationship?!’

She let her imagination run wild for a second before immediately dismissing the idea.

Evan Hollis was the first to spot her.

"Dr. Linden!"

Evan Hollis stood up from the bed, smiling and waving at Rory Linden.

When Charlotte Rhodes saw Rory Linden, the smile vanished from her face instantly.

Rory Linden walked toward the bed. Before she even got close, Charlotte Rhodes’s gaze had already dropped, checking to see if her white coat was touching the bedsheets.

Rory Linden had heard the nurses mention this specifically, so of course she wouldn’t make that mistake.

She maintained a certain distance from the older woman’s bed and asked about her condition.

Charlotte Rhodes gave only simple answers.

It was as if she couldn’t be bothered to say another word.

Not wanting to overstay her welcome, Rory Linden had no choice but to leave.

Before she had even left the room, she heard Charlotte Rhodes ask Evan Hollis, "What was the name of that show you just mentioned? I’ll definitely watch it when I get home."

Her tone was completely different from the one she used with Rory.

Rory Linden couldn’t help but glance back.

Charlotte Rhodes was now holding Evan Hollis’s hand, her eyes filled with...

’Affection?’

-

「Closing time.」

Rory Linden finished packing her things and was about to get into the elevator.

Evan Hollis, still in his scrubs and white coat, ran over.

"Dr. Linden." Evan Hollis quickly followed her into the elevator and asked with a smile, "Is your boyfriend picking you up today?"

"Yeah."

Rory Linden nodded.

Sean Harrison had messaged her half an hour ago to say he was already on his way.

With his hands in his pockets, Evan Hollis asked her, "So... your boyfriend is Auntie Rhodes’s son, right? What kind of person is he?"

"He’s a great person." Rory Linden took the opportunity to ask, "Did you know Auntie Rhodes before?"

"I did." Evan Hollis opened his mouth, clearly gathering his thoughts before speaking. "Auntie Rhodes sponsored me years ago. She’s a very important benefactor to me. I was so happy to see her again."

Rory Linden could understand that.

After all, Evan Hollis had the face of a nice guy; everything from his personality to his looks made him seem approachable.

When the elevator reached the ground floor, Evan Hollis said, "I was just a kid back then, and I used to wonder how that aunty was so rich. Now that I see she has such an outstanding son, I get it."

"I think Auntie Rhodes’s family was already very wealthy on their own."

Rory Linden explained casually.

As if he hadn’t heard her, Evan Hollis said, "If I were her son, I definitely wouldn’t be living the life he has now."

As he said this, Rory Linden had already spotted Sean Harrison waiting for her in the inpatient lobby.

She paid no attention to what Evan Hollis had just said.

She turned, waved at Evan Hollis, and said, "I’m heading out."

When Evan Hollis looked up at Sean Harrison...

The man was looking right back at him.

Their eyes met for a brief second.

Not until Rory Linden ran up to Sean Harrison did he look away and wrap an arm around her.

The two of them got into the car together.

Rory Linden had just buckled her seatbelt when she heard the man beside her say, "You should stay away from Evan Hollis."

"Huh?" Rory Linden thought he was just jealous and explained, "We just have a normal working relationship. He’s an anesthesiologist and often assists in our department’s surgeries. We don’t have any contact outside of the operating room..."

"I’ll have him transferred to another hospital," Sean Harrison said, looking at her. "Or haven’t you been wanting to work somewhere else? Why not switch this month? Tell me which hospital you want to go to, and I can make the arrangements for you."

"No need!"

Rory Linden had truly thought he was just being jealous.

But hearing him say this, she couldn’t help but get a little angry.

"If I want to change jobs, I don’t need you to make arrangements. With my skills, if I wanted to join the cardiac surgery department of any hospital in Veridia, they would welcome me with open arms."

"I believe you."

Sean Harrison believed she had that kind of ability.

Rory Linden continued, "But it’s already November, and I’m about to get my year-end bonus. I was already planning to resign after I get it. Why would I turn down good money?"

The car pulled smoothly onto the main road.

With both hands on the steering wheel, Sean Harrison stared straight ahead and said coolly, "How much is it? I’ll give it to you."

When Rory Linden heard this, her brow furrowed.

In the past, Miles Harrison had said similar things to her in that same tone countless times.

The reasons were always the same: she was doing odd jobs for classmates for a little extra cash, or she was buying less attractive clothes to save money.

Miles Harrison always thought she was cheap.

That she’d do such time-consuming things for so little money.

He would say, "It’s just a little money. I’ll give it to you."

But Sean Harrison wasn’t Miles Harrison.

Rory Linden suppressed her emotions and said, "There’s no need. You’ve already given me a lot."

He had helped her deal with the Gary Sinclair situation.

He hadn’t just helped her, but Maisie and her mother as well.

She had also been living at his house without paying for anything.

The man had even assigned a personal driver to her and often drove her to and from work himself.

He had also given her expensive rings and clothes.

He had already given her more than enough.

"Change jobs as soon as possible. Whatever the year-end bonus is, I’ll give it to you."

As Sean Harrison spoke, he pressed down slightly harder on the accelerator.

The car picked up a bit of speed.

Rory Linden gripped her seatbelt tightly, biting her lip.

As they were about to arrive home, she finally asked, "So should I just quit my job and spend my days playing cards, drinking tea, shopping, and going to the salon, relying on you to support me?"

She was just saying it out of spite.

While steering the car into the underground garage, Sean Harrison said, "Just say the word, and you can do that anytime. I’m willing to support you for the rest of your life."
