Convincing her (Jen and Lucas)

Chapter 288: Ice Beauty

Leanna really did not know what ghost had possessed her for her to come to the hospital so late at night. She had been on a call with Ethan and he had told her that he was going in for surgery later and it was probably going to take him four to five hours.

She had been hoping that she would get the chance to see him before tomorrow so she had made some food and packed it for him and brought it to the hospital.

She did not even know where to go because it was the first time she had come to his workplace so she stood around the reception area as she looked around as if hoping to catch a glimpse of him. She checked the time and saw he should probably be done by now.

It did not take her long to draw the attention of the nurses at the nurse's station and eventually one of them mustered up the courage to come to talk to her.

They couldn't be blamed for being nervous since Leanna had a serious expression on her face and her tall stature did not particularly help her situation. In simple words, she looked intimidating as hell.

"Excuse me," the nurse said cautiously and Leanna turned to look at the direction of the voice but saw no one, she slightly frowned and looked down and saw the short cute nurse.

When the nurse saw her frown she felt like she should just give up but since she approached her first she might as well go all the way.

"Yes?" Leanna said in question.

"Are you feeling sick anywhere? Or do you have an appointment?" the nurse asked as she tried to make her expression as friendly as possible.

"I'm not sick, but I did come to see someone," Leanna said after some thought.

"Oh? Is it a patient? If you could give me a name I could direct you to their room" the nurse said. Leanna thought about for a bit and felt like she would be inconveniencing them if she asked them to call Ethan so she just shook her head.

"It's alright, I'll just give them a call I don't want to be an inconvenience," Leanna said as she smiled at the nurse. She couldn't help but think she was cute since she was barely 5ft tall so her smile was quite genuine.

"Ah, yes. I-If you need any help I'll be at the desk" the nurse said feeling slightly dazed. She could not process the fact that someone who could look so unapproachable would have such a stunning smile.

Leanna, who was completely unaware of the fact that she left a few people dazed, rummaged through her purse and pulled out her phone to call Ethan.

Ethan, on the other hand, was getting dressed from his shower after his surgery and heard a few doctors talk about some beautiful patient who came to the hospital.

"I swear she is drop-dead gorgeous it is just that she is surrounded by an icy atmosphere. It's like she is isolated from us mere mortals" one of the doctors said and the others nodded in agreement. Ethan could think of a person he could describe like that so he couldn't help but chuckle.

"Are you sure she was a patient? She could have been coming to visit a patient, I saw her carrying a basket, it might be food" another doctor chimed.

"Does it matter?" the first doctor said and they all laughed.

"Since you guys are done with surgery you should go check her out, she's at the nurse's station, if you're quick enough you might catch her. If you have the balls then maybe you could even get a date" another doctor said to the group that had just left the operating theatres.

Ethan shook his head at how ridiculous they were all being and took out his white coat from the locker. As he was about to wear it he heard his phone vibrate in the locker so he took it out and saw that it was a call from Leanna.

"Hey," Ethan said with a smile

"Mmh, you're done with your surgery already?" Leanna asked on the other side.

"Yeah, it was successful, I just have to replenish my glucose levels now. I'm feeling drained" Ethan said as he put one hand through his white coat.

"I brought you food, come get it at the nurse's station at the entrance of the hospital," Leanna said casually.

"Mmh, EH?! You're downstairs?" Ethan said after registering what he had just heard.

"Yeah, people are looking at me funny so quickly come," Leanna said and cut the call. Ethan stared at his phone.

"Dr. Blackwell, are you coming to see that beauty as well?" a doctor asked Ethan and he finally came back to his senses.

He did not even bother answering them and instead finished putting on his white coat and locked his locker before flying out of the locker room.

"Hey wait for us" one of the doctors yelled after him but Ethan did not even register that he was the one being talked to.

Ethan walked briskly through the corridors and the only reason he did not run was because there were patients around.

He finally got to the escalators and ran down the stairs to get to the nurse's station sooner. He was just too happy that Leanna made the first move to come to see him for the first time.

Ethan was able to immediately spot her as the area around her was completely empty. For some reason, he was not too surprised by this at all.

Leanna was able to spot Ethan among the numerous doctors around as he was the only who was was almost running towards her.

Seeing him like this made all the nervousness she was feeling go away as he looked happy to see her so she smiled brightly when he waved at her but did not move from where she was standing.

The nurses that were watching all of this unfold felt dumbfounded when they saw Ethan half running towards the beauty that had drawn so much attention.

When Ethan finally stopped in front of her Leanna took a step forward and hugged him something that managed to both surprise him and make him happier.

"You worked hard," Leanna said so that only he could hear her and he felt all his fatigue melt away at that moment.
