Chapter 124 Investigate Someone

"Well, why don't we have dinner together?" Christopher invited once more. She had refused him the last time, but she probably wouldn't now.

As expected, Jenny nodded, smiling. "Of course."

She would figure out what his plan was.

They decided on a time and place, and Christopher left the office to look after his father.

Once he was out of sight, Jenny wiped the smile off her face. She took out her phone and called Zack." Help me investigate someone. It's Christopher Spade from Bardoff City."

Christopher walked into the VIP ward. He wasn't smiling any longer.

"You're here." Mr. Spade lay against the headrest with a few documents in his hands. He looked up at his son. Seeing his grim expression, he asked, "What? Has something happened at the Spades?" "No." Christopher shook his head and walked up to his father. "I invited Jenny out for dinner," he said.

Mr. Spade was hesitant. "Did she agree to it?"

Christopher hummed in response. He seemed calm and collected, which surprised Mr. Spade. "You don't seem very happy."

"She's smarter than I thought. She saw through my pretense of liking her at once." Christopher was mildly annoyed. That was the first time he had met such a smart woman.

Mr. Spade was calm. He said, "Isn't that a good thing? You will not survive if you're not smart in this society."

Although he had a good impression of Jenny, this was only because she had saved his father. Christopher had no other intentions. But once Mr. Spade woke up, he insisted on them forming a good bond and even told Christopher to pursue her. He couldn't understand it at all.

"She just reminds me of someone I used to know." Mr Spade reminisced.

Christopher was speechless. "Is that all?"

"I think she's great. She's an expert in the medical field, and she's Mr. Birkett's mentee. She's a genius. You have nothing to lose, do you?" Mr. Spade looked at him.

Christopher had no idea what was going on in his father's head. "Don't bet on it. She's not interested in me. She agreed to eat with me so that she could figure out what I was doing."

"That's good. That's further proof that someone like her is hard to come by." Mr. Spade was convinced of Jenny's suitability once more. Not everyone could dream of being a woman in the Spade household. Christopher said nothing. Mr. Spade continued, "I'm not saying you must pursue her. You just need to earn her trust. Don't ruin it."

"Alright." Christopher nodded.

When Jenny came to do her rounds, the two of them had already ended the conversation. Mr. Spade looked at her warmly. "Dr. Walter, your medical skills are too great. It's such a pity that you're here in Parrington. Have you ever considered going to Bardoff City?"

"Thank you for the kind thought, Mr. Spade, but I think Parrington is pretty good. I don't want to leave it anytime soon," she replied.

Mr. Spade put on a face of pity, but he did not force it on her. "That's alright. If you ever want to go to Bardoff City, give Christopher a call. He'll arrange something for you. I guarantee you that it'll be better

than this."

Jenny glanced at Christopher, who nodded. She smiled. "Alright. I'll call him if there is a need for it."

"Good." Mr. Spade said nothing more and closed his eyes, as if reminiscing his memories.

He thought of his past lover whenever he saw Jenny. However, she was dead, and he had investigated Jenny before. She was just someone who grew up in a small village in Parrington. She was not connected to his past lover in any way or form.

Perhaps it was all in his head.
