Chapter 189: Chapter 189
His mood was a bit off. He lowered his gaze to cap his pen and casually placed a hand in the pocket of his white coat.
He stood up.
The sound of knocking came abruptly, twice, "bang bang."
"Come in." Koa Jackson reached for his necktie, adjusting it slightly, and said, turning his head.
"Dr. Jackson?" A young woman in a white coat poked her head in. Seeing him idle, she brightened up and said, "Do you have plans after work? A few colleagues from the department are gathering at my place for dinner, why don’t you join us?"
"Oh?" Koa Jackson dropped his gaze for a glance, smiling faintly, "What’s the occasion?"
Cloud Capital’s Fourth Hospital is one of the top hospitals in the country, naturally, it boasts the best medical team. In recent years, the recruitment increasingly reflects the trend towards younger talent.
Their department has three doctors under the age of thirty.
He is the most exceptional among them; the other two are somewhat weaker, yet still outstanding in the industry.
Lia Chester is one of them.
She is twenty-seven years old, with a beautiful face and a gentle disposition, making her the ideal marriage candidate in the minds of many single male doctors at the hospital.
Of course, this is also closely tied to her family background.
She is the only daughter of the chairman of Star Joy Entertainment, which was the country’s earliest music production company. This recent expansion into various realms, stealthily taking up half the entertainment industry.
The Chester Family behind the group stands alongside the Jackson Family, Ward Family, Williams Family, Leaf Family, and Myres Family, marking Cloud Capital’s six prominent households.
The Chesters have always been high-profile in their affairs, and naturally, Star Joy’s only daughter hasn’t been kept hidden. Since a young age, she has frequently appeared in the media and had cameos in numerous film roles during her teenage years.
Yet, surprisingly, she chose to study medicine.
With good lineage, good looks, and a good character, coupled with a high level of education, Lia Chester, at present, is the goddess in the eyes of many young nurses at the hospital.
Koa Jackson thought casually, instinctively glancing at her again, meeting her graceful and composed smile.
Mia Ginger, that girl, seems never to have such a seamless smile.
Her actions are not elegant enough.
Her words lack tact.
Her handling of affairs lacks prudence.
Impulsive, easily angered, biased and fragile.
Often cornering herself, leaving no mercy for others.
Such a vibrant and intense image, causing headaches and helplessness, yet one can’t help but cherish and adore.
"Dr. Jackson?"
Lia Chester had never seen him lost in thought before. Noticing he’s been staring at her, she felt a bit joyful, subtly calling out, feeling as though she had the winning hand.
She is well aware of Koa Jackson’s status and understands why many female doctors and nurses at the hospital have mixed feelings towards him.
They say he is cold and distant, the hardest to make plans with.
What a joke, it would be strange for someone of his stature to look favorably upon ordinary gatherings.
Though she didn’t choose medicine because of him, upon unexpectedly learning of his identity from family, she couldn’t help but be captivated.
Most of those wealthy heirs are idle and worldly, but none are as tranquil and self-controlled as he is.
Such a man can only be her match.
They are of the same kind.
Lia Chester happily mused, suddenly snapping back to the present, remembering his earlier question, she smiled faintly and said, "Today is my birthday. The few from the department have been clamoring for me to treat them for a long time, so I thought there’s no better way than hosting a party at home."
"Is that so?" Koa Jackson, returning from his thoughts, smiled, "Happy birthday."
"Thank you, so will you?"
"I have something to do after work, probably won’t have time to come over. You all have fun."
