章節 42: "Worrying"

"B-but…" Lai Jiayi's eyes shook.

"How will others be convinced that we are dating with hugging or holding hands? I won't ask you for a kiss, but holding hands and hugging aren't a big deal, right?"

The doctor tilted his head.

'Well, It's really not a big deal for normal girls but for me, it's almost impossible!'

The girl had just about to refute again when Yaya suddenly spoke in her mind,

[Why don't you just agree, quack? Don't you want to cure your phobia, quack? Starting from holding hands or hugging is okay, I think, quack.]

'Just sign the contract already and go home to plan for the next steps!'

When the girl heard Yaya's advice, she was stunned.

'Indeed...I can't run away forever.'

Lai Jiayi paused for a second, contemplating things before finally, she sighed.

"A-alright, deal." Lai Jiayi immediately signed the hologram paper forming a digital signature on it.

She did it so quickly that the doctor was a bit taken aback.

'She looked so troubled just a few seconds ago, and now she agrees very quickly?'

The doctor was astonished, but he didn't mind it much. He too immediately signed the hologram paper before asking for Lai Jiayi's email,

"Let me know your contact information so I can send the contract copy."

Lai Jiayi immediately gave the doctor her phone number and her email. The doctor then sent her the contract copy, and after the girl accepted it, she put away her phone.

"Alright, the deal is sealed. Oh right, my name is Shen Jun, you can call me Shen or Jun. May I call you Jia, or...Jia'er?" The doctor finally introduced himself after the contract was established.

When the doctor called Lai Jiayi with her nickname, it sent goosebumps to the poor girl.

"G-good idea. I-i will call you Jun then…" Lai Jiayi laughed in a super stiff tone.

'Another Jun. No wonder I also disliked this guy. He looks like he's four years older than the other Jun, though.'

"Good, let's meet often, okay? You can just text me before you come." Shen Jun smiled sweetly like a handsome doctor from a Korean drama.

Girls would faint seeing his smart-looking appearance added with that professional smile, but...Lai Jiayi won't.

She would mostly faint for another reason instead.

"Y-yes, sure." Lai Jiayi hurriedly nodded as she waited for the right timing to ask about her father's condition.

Coincidentally, the doctor brought it up by himself. He looked at Lai Jiayi with a hint of worry in his eyes before he said,

"You can see your father now in the glass room over there, but he's in comatose…" the doctor paused a bit and continued,

"We will install a virtual program so you can talk to your father through this virtual program."

"Virtual program?"

"Yes, the program will project what's in your father's mind even when he's in a coma," Shen Jun explained.

[Bless technology, quack. Also...Zhao Yang was actually the one inventing this technology when he was 23 years old. You know that, quack?] Yaya suddenly asked.

[Nope. But it sounds cool. As long as I can see my dad.]

"S-so, I can see him now b-but outside the room?" Lai Jiayi asked again.

She felt like the world was spinning around. Her father was in a coma, and she couldn't even look at him directly.

"Yes, you can. Outside the glass room, though. You may come here on Wednesday after the program is installed, " the doctor hurriedly answered.

"A-alright, I'll see him later then…" Lai Jiayi bit her lips before retreating.

'I really, really want to see my dad now, but if I can't see him directly...I don't want to.'

The doctor also agreed with Lai Jiayi's decision.

'Good choice...as Mr. Lai's condition is still bad. It's better for this girl to not see him for the time being.'

"Sure, don't forget to visit again on Wednesday. You can visit him directly and even talk with him using the virtual thingy."

Shen Jun nodded his head, agreeing with Lai Jiayi's decision. He then let the girl leave after saying goodbye before he too went to work again.

Shan Internet cafe.

"Do you want to rest first, quack?" Yaya asked Lai Jiayi as he rolled on the bed.

The girl had been oddly silent on the way home, and now...she looked like she's in a daze.

'Jiajia...how worrying, her eyes seemed soulless, unlike her usual bright amber eyes.'

This is not a good sign…
