Chapter 541 I Have an Important Gift for You
Throughout the day, James attended to the patients while Jennifer assisted him by his side.
James's medical skills were considered the best in the world, much more efficient than Jennifer's, and the results were excellent. Initially, some patients were reluctant to trust James, but after seeing several patients cured on the spot, their impression of James improved significantly, and they were willing to be treated by him.
"Dr. Smith's medical skills are truly remarkable, not inferior to Dr. Johnson at all."
"That's obvious. Dr. Smith once represented our country's medical community at an international conference and single-handedly defeated over a hundred renowned doctors from around the world. Treating minor ailments is like child's play for him."
"That's true!"
"I wonder how James trained to become so skilled at such a young age."
"It's strange. With Dr. Smith's exceptional skills, he should be a professor at a major hospital. Why would he open a small clinic here? Isn't that a waste of talent?"
"Short-sighted!"
"How am I short-sighted?"
"You don't get it, do you? A reclusive expert like Dr. Smith doesn't care about being a professor. Think about it, those so-called top professors and experts were all rendered speechless by him. Why would he want to be a professor? That would be an insult to him. Besides, Dr. Smith is here out of love, to be with Dr. Johnson and to benefit the local community. It's a wonderful thing."
"That makes sense."
A group of employees watched as James quickly treated one patient after another, admiring him while gossiping.
As Jennifer listened to their gossiping, she found it both amusing and endearing.
Indeed, with James's abilities, he could excel in any field.
Soon, her smile faded away. It was precisely because of James's abilities that she had to leave James. She couldn't be the tether that held him back. Someone like James shouldn't be confined by her; he should aspire to a broader horizon.
By the end of the day, James had treated over two hundred patients, astonishing many with his speed and efficiency.
Under the admiring gazes of several employees, James and Jennifer clocked out and left the clinic.
On the way home, halfway there, Jennifer suddenly said, "Honey, let's eat out tonight and then watch a movie. I heard there's a new movie out that's really good."
James was slightly surprised but then nodded, "Sure, we haven't gone out for fun in a long time."
As he spoke, his hand moved to Jennifer's thigh, making her blush and say, "Enough, focus on driving. I'll call my parents."
James chuckled and withdrew his hand.
Jennifer, blushing, looked out the window, a hint of sadness in her eyes.
In her heart, a countdown of leaving James had already begun.
After making the call, James and Jennifer went to a downtown shopping complex and had a good meal.
Jennifer had caught up on sleep in the morning and now looked radiant. She was wearing trendy clothes that perfectly highlighted her cool and elegant demeanor.
Her appearance in the shopping complex attracted a lot of attention. After all, for most people, a beauty of Jennifer's caliber was rare.
In comparison, James seemed ordinary. Although he was tall and had a good demeanor, his looks were too plain. Standing next to Jennifer, he seemed out of place, seeming that James was out of her league.
But Jennifer didn't care about that. She clung to James's arm, half her body leaning against him, her ample chest pressing against his arm, making James feel a rush of excitement and enjoyment. Many passersby looked on with envy and jealousy, and some men with girlfriends or wives found their partners less appealing in comparison.
James noticed that Jennifer was acting differently than usual, more enthusiastic and cheerful. In the past, she wouldn't have shown such affection in public.
Now, Jennifer's smile was more frequent and never ceased. She even bought an ice cream and shared it with James, taking turns eating it, laughing sweetly and happily.
James felt something was off, but he couldn't pinpoint what exactly it was.
However, seeing Jennifer's smile was a good thing for James. Unconsciously, he was also infected by her joy, and his smile grew.
Strictly speaking, he and Jennifer had been married for so long but had never had such a joyful date.
This feeling, he had to admit, was quite nice, like being in love.
Jennifer hid her sentimental side and decided to make the most of the remaining time with James, leaving no regrets.
When the time came, she would leave gracefully with no regrets.
After dinner, they went to see a movie at the shopping complex's cinema.
It was a newly released movie with a rating of 7.8, quite high for a domestic film. It told the love story of childhood sweethearts.
Coincidentally, the male lead in the story was an orphan who was taken in by the female lead's parents at a young age, serving as a servant in her home. The male and female leads had a close bond since childhood, but it was always the male lead who admired the female lead. Due to his background, the male lead felt inferior and never dared to express his feelings, only staying by her side and silently protecting her.
In high school, the female lead started dating a handsome boy. When the male lead found out, his world collapsed.
But he still didn't leave her and continued to protect her silently.
Some events unfolded, and the boy cheated on the female lead, hurting her. The male lead found out and confronted the boy, beating him up. When the female lead found out, she slapped the male lead several times and said many hurtful things, deeply wounding his heart.
Because of this incident, the male lead ended up in jail. Here, the plot took a twist: the male lead wasn't an orphan; he had been kidnapped as a child. Now, his powerful parents had found him, and they brought down the boy's family.
The shift in the male and female leads' statuses was a major turning point in the movie, and the male lead left the female lead's family.
From that day on, the female lead realized she had always loved the male lead, but he was no longer there.
Years later, the female lead joined a company under the male lead's family as a low-level employee.
By then, the male lead already had a fiancée. The female lead's reappearance stirred up emotions, leading to a love triangle.
In the end, the female lead chose to leave silently for the male lead's future.
It was a touching and well-made movie.
By the end, many audiences in the theater were in tears.
Jennifer was utterly overcome with sobs, tears streaming down her face, for she felt as though she had seen herself within the film.
She held James's hand and said with unprecedented seriousness, "James, let's stay out. I have an important gift for you."
