Love Story Chapter 9
"That was to be expected," said Mrs. Nadar, when Fleur told him about her encounter with Karim Khan. — Now you might put that problem aside, and no longer encourage Nizéa 's dreams .- Dreams? I don't think she should give up everything just because her family is against it. You have to fight and I'll help in whatever way I can.“If I were you, I wouldn't get involved in this anymore. It won't even help.“I can't understand her brother's way of thinking. And then he is a learned man!“Study has nothing to do with your emotion. He may accept many Western customs, but that doesn't mean he adopts them at home.Fleur remembered Karim's commanding manner.— I feel so sorry for Nizéa !"You must control your compassion," warned Mrs. Swim. “It would be bad for my school to have a reputation for inciting female students to revolt against their parents. They send their daughters to study, not to be indoctrinated.“I wouldn't call it indoctrination teaching them to be independent.“We don't enc
Love Story Chapter 1
WITHOUT PRICE With the strong whizz of the jets, the Jumbo flew over the bay, almost touching the surface of the water and landed at Kai Tak Airport like a gigantic seagull. Diana peeked through the small window and swallowed hard when she saw the single lane surrounded by water and, further away, the majestic island of Hong Kong on one side, and Kowloon with its mountain range in the background on the other. The gray haired man beside her smiled at the expression on her face. "Didn't you know that the Hong Kong airport runway is in the middle of the bay?" - he asked. "Well... I thought you were like the others..." - But it is not. The airport was built on an embankment made in the bay, as is the case in Kowloon, and because of the size of the bay, only one runway could be built, so it is only possible to take off or land one plane at a time. The first time is always hair-raising, isn't it? Looks like the plane is going to crash into the sea... but I've never heard of any acciden
Love Story Chapter 2
Jonathan finished the operation shortly after six o'clock. In the sterilization room, Nurse Chang removed his scrubs, operating mask, and thin rubber gloves and, with all of these in hand, walked down the ramp that led directly to the laundry room. Jonathan took off his rubber boots, took off his cap and began to wash his hands and arms with the disinfectant liquid."Good work," he said to his assistant. — A case of appendicitis may seem simple, but it has its tricks. Thank God, the man is saved.Thank God and Jonathan's efficiency, thought Maynard, his assistant."Yes, it was good work indeed," he agreed, "but I think I should get some rest now." You've been working too hard, with all these operations you've been doing, in addition to the superintendence job. When most doctors become superintendents, they abandon medicine a little.“Well, don't expect me to. I would die of boredom.Maynard couldn't help thinking that there were more pleasant ways to stave off boredom, especially in H
Love Story Chapter 3
The man was really a tyrant, inhuman even! He was treating Diana as if she were some woman he had bought for his harem and not a doctor worthy of all respect and consideration. That was the way to talk! She turned her back to hide the fury she felt and, before she left, the door opened and the supervisor entered."Oh, there she is!" So it's Dr. Diana?!... Welcome to Kinsale ! She studied her sympathetically through narrowed eyes, then turned to the surgeon. "Have you been bullying the girl?"- I? Never bully anyone! I was just giving instructions for her own good,” said Jonathan."Exactly what I thought," replied the supervisor in a tone of irony. Then he gave Diana an eloquent look. “Oh, those men! ’ Then he smiled. "Come with me, you must be exhausted!" I'll take you to your room. I believe that Dr. Kinsale told him about the regulations here at the hospital regarding necessary rest after a long flight and he is right, I completely agree with him. So forget about everything and try
Love Story Chapter 4
Nurse Chang knocked lightly on the supervisor's office door, waited, and entered when she heard the order.— Please, Dr. Is Diana here?- No. I believe she went to the infirmary."Am I not fit?" Chris asked. — Is it urgent?“It's Elias again."Oh my God, is he back?"“He always comes back,” the supervisor said, “and will keep coming back as long as the authorities allow him to stay in Hong Kong. This hospital is a second home for him. In fact,” she added sadly, “I think this is actually the only home he has now. Poor man!"When was he brought here?" Chris asked."He wasn't brought in," Chang replied. "He walked into the ward about half an hour ago and passed out there." How is dr. Diana, the nurse there asked me to come get you.The supervisor pressed a button on the device on her desk and said into the microphone:— Ask Dr. Diana go to the clinic, please. He turned to Chang and reassured her. "Okay, she won't be long now.""Thank you," said the nurse and left.When she was halfway do
Love Story Chapter 5
That afternoon Diana was released from duty, a fact that surprised her. Chris stormed into the doctors' lounge like a hurricane, finger up and pointing at her accusingly."Oh, very nice, isn't it?" This time I won't forgive you, Diana. It's the second time in a month that I have to cancel a date because of you! The first time I ended up losing Estelle, who dumped me, and now it might be the same with a girl I've been trying to find for ages, ever since I met her at the peninsula party. Now that I got it...- Oh yes? What party was it?— It was the New Year's cocktail, which is already traditional. The whole of Hong Kong society attends, there are ambassadors and important people to chuchu. There I met Mimi, I kept an eye on her the whole time and when I decided to approach her, another guy arrived before me... and it was none other than the French consul."And what does all this have to do with me?""You are threatening a very promising relationship by making me cancel my first date w
Love Story Chapter 6
Jonathan never imagined he would meet her again, because the separation had been final and bitter, irreversible things had been argued and said.'If you had a little more sense, Jonathan, you'd leave this hospital in Hong Kong and come work in a good London hospital, then we could both take care of our careers.' You have no right to expect me to abandon mine, just to become a simple housewife, stuck there in that city on the other side of the world! I would die of boredom! I'm an actress, and a very good one at that, and my career is just as important as yours!All the words and scenes swirled through her mind; the delirium of love, the disillusionment, the broken dream. It had been a love affair at first sight, at least on his part, full of passion and ardor and Jonathan had believed that when he finished his year-long internship in London, Gloria would go with him to Hong Kong, but she soon made him realize that this idea of a wife following her husband wherever he went to work was
Love Story Chapter 7
Outside the air was cold. Diana lifted her face to the sky and saw thousands of stars twinkling. The night was calm, but that city never seemed to sleep.Diana looked at the Wong mansion, with all the windows lit up, and knew that people were having a good time there. She began to walk aimlessly, feeling alone and helpless. Tears began to roll down her cheeks and she continued to walk without worrying about it. There was no one to see her.Down below, the cove with its twinkling lights seemed like another, utterly alien world. What was she doing there anyway? What was the use of coming this far? It was impossible to escape from love, escape from feelings! But it was only by living that experience that I had learned.She then decided to walk to the ferry port. After the effort she'd put into playing the role of the self-assured woman and all the emotions she'd felt at that party, she was in need of a good walk to relax. He didn't want to face the loneliness of his room. If only she had
