Chapter 94 - 94: Come With Me Please

She wished me to do her a favor. Are you available to go with me? And… you can ask her what she thinks of me."

After those words, he was a little embarrassed and lowered his head.

"Yeah!" Sophia agreed without hesitation.

The next day was Saturday, she had no classes and would be available.

"Thank you very much!" Watson was very happy, "I don't know how to repay you!"

"Then you can leave Mitch at my house for several days."

"Oh, no. He is my son."

***

The next morning, Watson drove to Sophia's neighborhood to pick her up.

Sophia got into the car, saw Mitch sitting in the back seat. She just sat beside him and played with him.

Soon, the car stopped outside a park.

It was not convenient to take Mitch to some shops, so Diana wanted to meet Watson in the park.

Watson walked ahead. Sophia followed him with Mitch. They went to the park. Not long after, they saw Diana sitting on a bench.

Diana stood up and walked to Watson.

Mitch was very excited to see his former owner and jumped to her at once. Sophia didn't stop him. She let go of the rope and let him play with Diana.

"Mitch is… putting on weight." Diana looked at Mitch and sighed.

"Sorry. I… I won't feed him so much." Watson apologized.

As he spoke, he winked at Sophia, motioning her to talk to Diana. Then she could ask Diana about her thoughts of him when they got along well with each other.

"What's wrong with your eyes, Mr. Watson? Did you get something in your eyes?" Asked Diana concernedly.

"Oh… yeah…" answered Watson.

Sophia couldn't help laughing and said to Diana, "Miss Garcia, I want to ask you a few questions. I know you major in English, and there are several English questions I don't know how to do. Can you help me with them?"

She had already prepared a topic to talk with Diana before she came. Since Diana was an interpreter, talking about English was the best.

She even brought along a difficult English exercise to discuss with Diana. Of course, she could have solved these exercises by herself.

Diana was very kind. She agreed immediately after hearing Sophia's asking. Sitting on the bench, she patiently explained the questions asked by Sophia.

"Sophia, your English is very good." Diana said, "You may consider majoring in English if you are interested in it."

"Is English easy to learn? Will it be very hard?" Asked Sophia.

"Yes, you have to memorize lots of words! Also, you have to learn professional…" Diana thought of her college days and sighed, "Well, you'd better change a major. It's really hard! It's very hard to pass various kinds of tests... Even if you have passed them, you may still not be able to find a job… Interpretation is too difficult…"

Sophia was confused.

How come she begins to complain about her major?

Speaking of which, Diana remembered the reason she came to Watson. She got up and said to Watson, "Mr. Watson, could you do me a favor?"

Watson smiled and nodded, "Yeah. What's up?"

He was glad to help the one he admired.

Diana smiled and said, "In fact, I'm a little embarrassed. I'm… I fell in love with someone when I was blind. But I didn't know what he looked like. Now, I can't find him! Can you help me to find him?"

"But… why do you ask me for such a favor?" Watson was confused, "If you can't find him, how can I find him?"

Diana smiled, "Technically, I want Mitch to help. Since you are the owner of Mitch as well as my friend, I have to ask your permission."

Sophia was also confused. What did that have to do with Mitch?

Diana told them the story slowly.

A few years ago, Diana was accidentally blind. The doctor told her that if she could get a pair of new corneas, she would be able to see things again. The chance to get new corneas was quite rare. Many people could not have such a chance after years of waiting.

Her company was very good. They did not fire her but transferred her to be an operator, responsible for answering calls from foreign guests. That job can also be done by the blind.

Diana lived not far from the company. She bought a guide dog, Mitch, to help her walk from home to work every day. Although it was hard, she was willing to work rather than stay at home.

After a period of time like that, she got used to it. One day, on her way to work, Diana suddenly heard a sweet male voice when she was crossing the street, "Good morning!"

After her vision was impaired, her hearing became so sharp that she was able to tell who the other person was from the voice. However, she had never heard of that voice.

She thought the man was talking to someone else. But she listened attentively and heard no response.

Out of politeness, Diana smiled and said, "Good morning!"

From that day on, every time she passed there, she would hear the sweet male voice greeting her "Good morning".

She wondered who that man was. He was going in the opposite direction from her. He was not in the same company as her, was he?

One day when she met him again, she couldn't help but ask, "Do you work around here?"

The man did not seem to have expected the question, hesitated before replying, "I... I'm an employee of a nearby company. You can call me Henry."

Diana didn't ask much. Maybe the man had met her before and greeted her every day out of politeness.

One day, Diana was coming home from work when it started to rain. In a flash, it turned into a rainstorm.

Mitch panicked. He had never encountered such a situation and did not know where to take his master for a moment. He walked around but didn't go forward.

Suddenly, Diana felt that the rain had stopped and that there was no more rain dripping on her. But she could still hear the sound of the heavy rain.

That sweet voice sounded, "Come with me, please."
