Refusing Matchmaking
Chapter 24

This morning John had returned to the hospital for work, and at John's desk there was already a lot of patient data that he would check. John sometimes felt very tired with his work but he recalled that struggling to become a doctor was not easy. And he was lucky that of the many people who wanted to become a doctor, he was the one who managed to achieve that goal.

John sighed for a while long enough, he should look very excited when the patient came. The man immediately wore a white coat that was always typical of doctors and was ready to examine the patients who were waiting for him outside.

It had been a few hours John examined the patient quite a lot, finally he breathed with relief because it was time for him to rest. John's gaze was fixed on the door of his room that opened and showed a woman who some time ago had been his patient. The woman smiled very kindly while carrying a rice box and approached John who was still sitting.

Gracia sat in front of John, "Good afternoon, doctor" Gracia said with a friendly smile at John, keeping the rice box right at John's desk.

John returned Gracia's smile and her gaze was now fixed on a rice box that the woman had given him, "What is this?" John asked while looking at Gracia's pretty face.

"Lunch for you. I made this special for you Doc" Gracia said as she opened the rice box and gave it to John.

John just smiled and felt so lucky to have such a good patient and still remember him. And Gracia was the only patient who brought him lunch like that. John quickly devoured the lunch that the woman had given him for not wanting to upset Gracia if she did not eat the meal.

"Enak" said John, continuing to finish his lunch.

John stared at Gracia's face that did not stop smiling, the happiness of a patient is John's happiness is also what is always in John's mind. When there are patients who do good to him, as much as possible John will try to do good as well.

"You shouldn't bother bringing me lunch like this. But thanks for the food you've brought, I really like it because it tastes really good, too" John said as he closed the rice box he had finished.

Gracia smiled as she listened to what John said, "But I want to bring you lunch every day," Gracia said while looking down because she felt very embarrassed if she looked directly at the handsome face of the handsome man who was in front of her.

John laughed quite loudly when he heard Gracia's words and made the woman become misbehaved with her face which now began to turn red. John immediately stopped his loud laughter because he did not want to make Gracia misunderstand him.

"Are you having any more complaints?" John's question tried to divert the conversation, and made Gracia just shake her head without answering a word.

John looked seriously at Gracia's face, "Then?" John asked to make sure there was another purpose for Grace to come to the hospital to see him.

"I just want to meet you. Do you mind if I come here just to meet you?" Gracia asked in a very slow voice.

And again John again made laugh by the words of Gracia, because this is the first time John got a patient who until he met when the patient was cured. Does John have to say no objection to Gracia? Or does John have to say that Gracia doesn't come to see him too often at work? That's what's going through John's mind.

Gracia's face looks very hopeful if John gives her permission to always meet with John at lunch. But on the one hand he felt very embarrassed because he had said that to John.

"Well then I go home doc. See you later," Gracia said as she waved her hand and began to step out of John's room.

John just shook his head to see Gracia's behavior, John only hoped that the woman would not bother him while he was at work because it would be very uncomfortable for John.

Two days passed quickly, now Laura felt her body was very unpleasant. Ever since she met John's family a few days ago, she has had a pretty high fever and made Laura very uncomfortable. As he feared that his condition was getting worse, he prepared to go to the hospital for a check-up.

Arriving at the hospital, no need to wait long enough finally Laura's name was called. Laura walked towards the general practitioner's room that would examine her. He was surprised when he opened the door of the room and saw John who was busy with some paper in his hand.

John walked up to Laura and checked her body. "How long have you had a fever? Your fever is quite high, fortunately you came here quickly for me to check," said John again sitting in his chair and followed by Laura who sat in front of him.

Laura kept her bag in the chair next to her, "I've had a fever ever since I got home from home. I thought my fever would heal on its own, but it turned out that I felt like my body was not feeling well, John" replied Laura who noticed John writing a prescription for Laura.

"I've written you a prescription and you can pick it up at the drug site" John said, handing Laura a piece of paper.

Laura simply nodded and immediately grabbed the paper given by John, before she did not expect that the one who would examine her was her pretended lover. But Laura now did not have much energy to take advantage of the situation this time.

"May you heal quickly. Don't worry me like this" John said with a very serious look watching Laura.

Laura looked like she was misbehaving when she heard John worry about her. Is it possible that the man named John is starting to fall in love with her? Think Laura.

"Later if you're sick for a long time what about our plan?" John asked which immediately made Laura's face turn into a sniffle and was very upset to hear it.

"Ish you are only concerned with your business! Men have no heart!" Laura snorted in annoyance at John, and made John laugh very loudly.

Laura got up from her seat and immediately left John who was still laughing very hard. He was very upset because the man could only think of himself without thinking about Laura who was now sick.

"Basic sucks!" Lirih Laura while closing the door to John's room quite hard.
