Love Contract
Chapter 122 Fall In Love With Her (Part One)

The next day, Mary came to the hospital to visit her mother. As soon as she reached the corner, she saw several nurses surrounding Lucas. They were all blushing while talking to him. "Dr. Murong, are you going to the party tonight?"

"Dr. Murong, do you already have a female companion?"

"Can we head out from the hospital together, Dr. Murong?"

With a faint smile, Lucas slightly shook his forehead and opened his mouth. He patiently answered their questions one by one. This made him less unruly and more approachable.

Mary shook her head with a smile. He really was an attractive doctor, no wonder women were asking him to go out with them.

"I will..." Lucas was struggling to withstand the 'siege' of so many people. When he was thinking of a solution, he looked up and saw Mary. He felt as if she was his savior. He called her name and quickly ran to her. "Mary! Here you are!"

"Yes. They're so lively!" Mary nodded at them.

"I'll accompany you to your mother." Without waiting for Mary's answer, Lucas grabbed her hand and left the nurses behind.

"You... Why are you walking in such a hurry?" Mary frowned.

"The most important thing is to escape," Lucas said exaggeratedly.

"Humph..." Mary smiled helplessly.

They went to the ward together and Lucas opened the door for her. "Auntie, I'm here again!

"Dr. Murong is here again!" Mary's mother turned around with a smile and said, "Mary is here too!"

"Yes." Mary came over and asked, "Mom, how are you feeling today?"

"I'm fine." Mary's mother smiled and asked, "Why didn't William come? I haven't seen him for a long time."

"He..." Mary's face froze. She opened her mouth but did not know what to say.

"As the CEO of the company, he has a very busy schedule," answered Lucas in a hurry. He glanced at Mary worriedly, and then pretended to be laughing. He must have felt that Mary turned upset. "Let's wait for him tomorrow. We'll drag him to here."

"Ha ha." Mary's mother smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if he is busy. I'm okay as long as Mary comes for me."

"Okay." Mary smiled as she squeezed her mother's hand gently.

"Dr. Murong, are you free tonight?" While the three were busy chatting, the nurse who was assigned to make the rounds in the wards came over. She turned to Lucas and asked him with a red face, "Tonight's party..."

"I already have a female companion. I'm really sorry!" Lucas immediately put on an apologetic expression.

"Oh, I see..." The nurse left looking a bit sad and lonely.

"Do you have any activities tonight?" asked Mary.

"There will be a party held by the medical association here," answered Lucas. "It requires men to take a female companion, and women to take a male companion. Unfortunately, I have also received the invitation."

"I see. Where is the misfortune in this?" asked Mary while frowning.

"Dr. Murong, don't you want to go?" Mary's mother added, "It's good for young people to go out and have fun."

"When I arrived here this morning, many nurses came to me to ask if I already have a female companion for tonight. I was stressed. I didn't know who to choose." Lucas looked distressed.

Mary's mother just looked at him. Mary was speechless as well.

"Dr. Murong, you are such a good-looking man. Of course you should pick a good-looking woman," Mary's mother said with a smile.

"Do you think so, aunt?" Lucas smiled proudly but his face darkened in an instant. "But I don't think they're as pretty as Mary."

"Yes, Mary is not that bad, right?" Mary's mother said while looking at Mary with pride.

"Mom! How could you say that?" said Mary who turned red from embarrassment.

Sitting at the side of the bed, she raised her hand and gently tucked the scattered hair behind her ears.

Lucas' eyes became deeper and deeper as he gazed at her. His heart throbbed inexplicably.

"Mary is very beautiful," Lucas said. As a matter of fact, he could not move his eyes away from her.

Hearing this, Mary turned around and looked at him with a pure smile.

Her smile hit Lucas hard in the chest. He seemed to hear his heart flutter.

"Auntie, can I borrow Mary for a night?" After he stared at her, an idea popped into his mind.

"What?" Surprised, Mary's mouth fell open.

"Borrow Mary for a night?" Mary's mother didn't know what to say.

"For tonight's party. I want to invite Mary to be my female companion," Lucas said, with a little shyness in his heart. "Can I?"

"But I..." Mary was a bit speechless. "You're not going to use me as a shield, are you?"

"How is that possible?

Of course not!" "Since I got sick, Mary has been taking care of me while working. She haven't gone out to have fun. I'm afraid that she will be too tired." "Mom, I'm not tired." Mary felt moved by her mother's words.

"Anyway, Dr. Murong has invited you," said Mary's mother with a smile. "Dr. Murong has helped us a lot. It's not appropriate for us to refuse his invitation."

"Yes, Mary," said Lucas as he put on a pathetic expression. "Do you have the heart to let me go there by myself?"

Mary did not know what to say. Didn't he say there were many women wanting to accompany him to the party? They stayed in the ward for a while. When the sun went down, they walked out of the ward together.

"Tonight... I've accompanied you so many times before. It's just fair for you to accompany me tonight. What do you think?" Lucas said

"Well..." Mary hesitated and thought it through for a while.

"Just take it as a way to relax." Lucas continued, "You won't be so cruel, will you? The Mary I know is very kind."

"I..." Mary wanted to say something but stopped on a second thought. "I didn't say no."

"Really? Yes!" Lucas's eyes lit up. He hurriedly pulled Mary and said excitedly, "Let's go, let's go now!"

"Hey!" Mary stopped him. "Go there like this? I didn't bring any proper clothes."

Lucas stopped, turned around, and grinned, "Don't worry. Rest assured that as long as you are with me, I will take care of everything."

Stunned, Mary looked at him for a few seconds. She then smiled and nodded.

Lucas smiled back and led her out of the hospital and into the car.

When the two people walked into the party, it caused a commotion. Everyone in the hall stared at them.

Mary was wearing a white strapless dress, revealing her well-defined collarbones. The hemline of the dress was like an arc which was puffed up gracefully, revealing her white and slender legs. Her dress was adorned with diamonds, like beautiful morning dew.

Her hair was coiled up high, leaving only a few strands of hair scattered beside her ears. She looked pure and charming, like a fallen angel in the mortal world.

Meanwhile, Lucas wore a black tuxedo. He swept his uneven short hair across his bright eyes from time to time.

"Let's go," he said lightly. With his arm in Mary's hand, they walked to the hall side by side.

"Oh my God, what a match!"

"A handsome man and a beautiful woman..."

"Oh my God! My eyes are going blind!"

"Just like a prince and a princess! My heart..."

Along the way, people around Lucas and Mary whispered to one another.

"Isn't it too exaggerated?" Lucas whispered, "Everyone is looking at us." On the other hand, Mary felt a little embarrassed.

"It doesn't matter. They are envious." Lucas glanced at her and gave her a reassuring smile.

While they were talking, they saw the president of the hospital and several others walking towards them.

"Dr. Murong!"

"Lucas!"

"Uncle Zhao," Lucas said with a smile, "I'm late."

"It's not too late," said the president of the hospital while smiling. "She's stunning! Is this Mary?"

Mary was shocked, and smiled, "Yes, Dr. Zhao."

"What a perfect match!" The president of the hospital nodded.

Lucas and Mary looked at each other, speechless. They could only smile.

Lucas then greeted his colleagues one by one.

"By the way, the operation last time..."

Mary raised her eyebrows. The president of the hospital began to talk about business again, so she whispered in Lucas's ear, "I'll go aside first. Come to me after the talk."
