One Night Surprise

Chapter 425 Do Unto Others as You Would Have Them Do Unto You

After Courtney promised Linda to help her with the blind date, Linda used her position to shift Courtney to the emergency department earlier than planned and thus preventing Courtney from having to make rounds at the in-patient department every morning.

In the office, Linda nudged Courtney’s arm with a smug look. “Am I not virtuous? I helped you with this even though I had to risk my position here.”

“Yes, you really are virtuous.” Courtney tugged the corner of her mouth, but inwardly she was completely speechless.

“The time, address and name of the guy have been sent to your phone. He is a corporate legal adviser, and he only knows that I am a doctor. When the time comes, you just have to find a way to get rid of him.”

“Actually, I think there is nothing wrong with blind dates. Why are you so resistant to it? If you go take a look at him, maybe you’ll find him as a suitable match?”

“Suitable match? What kind of person would go on a blind date these days?” Linda gave her a look and spoke with a grimace. “If he is physically and mentally normal, why can’t he find a girlfriend? Nine out of ten people who go on blind dates have problems, so why am I wasting my time?”

“Well, there’s still the odd one or two normal people out of ten.”

“Do you think I’ll have this amazing luck to meet them? Even when the patient and the patient’s family know that if the success rate of surgery is too low, they would rather choose conservative treatment, instead of risking themselves at such a small probability event as it is tantamount to gambling.”

Linda had all the characteristics of an excellent woman competent in science. She was sensible and decisive, as well as logical and professional. Moreover, she also had the contempt a strong woman standing at the top of the social pyramid felt for such things as love.

Looking at the information on her phone, Courtney sighed. It was unfortunate that she was coincidentally supposed to rest this weekend. She had been planning to take the two girls out for some fun, but now she had to waste at least half a day on Linda’s blind date.

During lunchtime, Courtney found time to call Angie. “Have you brought Tina to the acupuncturist?”
