Chapter 422 - You are an exception

She is sitting on a sofa in the lobby of the Department of Surgery with her leg extended, her back leaning on the sofa and her head rested on the back pillow. Jacob who was looking for her saw her in that position and felt sad.

He walks towards her and sits beside her. He saw her eyes were closed as well. "Are you tired?"

J was startled to hear her now favorite voice. She opened her eyes and saw Jacob sitting beside her. She straightened her back and said, "So so."

After hearing that, he reached out for her hand and acted to pull her up. "What are you doing?" J asked with a furrowed brow. Jacob is now standing in front of her pulling her to stand up.

"We are going home," Jacob said seriously.

Hearing that, she brushed his hand and looked at her wristwatch which a nurse cannot live without. "Are you kidding me? I still have three hours left of my shift."

"I don't want to see you tired."

J rolled her eyes. Jacob is being unreasonable, she thought. "I don't need to go home. I'll just sit here and rest until my shift end."

Then Jacob sits back beside her. "Okay then. Come here." He wrapped his arms into J's shoulder and pulled her to let her head rest on his chest.

J acted to move away but Jacob's arm is firm. "Stay put or I'll take you home," Jacob warned her.

J remained in her position. Actually, she liked it in his chest. She closed her eyes not to take a nap or fall asleep but only to relish Jacob's unique scent that is only for her to smell and enjoy their closeness. Again, she has forgotten that they were in a public area.

"Damn it! Jacob, I told you that a public display of affection is not allowed in my department!"

J was startled to hear the voice of Dr. Aaron Choi. Damn! Again? After completing the procedure, Dr. Aaron went out to smoke when he saw the couple in the lobby of the Department of Surgery. He is one of the few people that smoke in his department.

J acted to stand up but Jacob stopped him and said. "Stay put."

Jacob remained undisturbed and looked at his friend. "Is this already a public display of affection to you?"

"Of course, even holding hands is a form of public display of affection." Dr. Aaron Choi retorted.

Jacob laughed. "Since when did you become so conservative. If I remember clearly when we were in college you were the most brazen among us to kiss random girls in public."

Dr. Aaron Choi was frozen embarrassed.

J suddenly straightened and gave Jacob an inquiring look. There is a question that she cannot put into words but Jacob quickly understands. "Honey, I never kiss anyone in public. Or even hold anyone's hand in public."

"Well except you." Jacob pinched her chin.

"You can ask him." Jacob pointed at Dr. Aaron.

Dr. Aaron watched the sweet couple in front of him like they were different people. Like someone, he doesn't know before.

Dr. Aaron sighed. "Well, he is right. He is never like that to anyone before except you. And I still can't believe my eyes."

"See?" Jacob said with a grin.

J gave him a side-eye before she stood up. "I'm getting inside." She said nonchalantly.

"Okay. If you are still tired you can take a nap at my office."

J glanced at him and said. "Okay."
