A few days later, Sidney received a call from his mother.
"Hello, Mom? What's wrong?" Sidney asked, stepping out of a restaurant where he had just finished a meeting with a client.
Ruth's voice sounded concerned. "I'm not feeling well. You should cover right away." Hearing this, Sidney immediately grew anxious.
Flagging down a cab, he asked, "What's wrong? Have you called a doctor?" Ruth brushed it off. "Oh, I don't want to explain everything over the phone. Just cquickly." Before he could ask more, she hung up.

He rushed into the hospital room, only to find his mother sitting on the bed, laughing and chatting with a young woman.
There was no sign of her being unwell.
Sidney froze for a moment, his concern still evident, as he rushed over to her.
"Mom, where are you feeling unwell?" he asked, quickly scanning her for any signs of illness and reaching for the call button.
Slap! Ruth slapped his hand away and said, "I'm fine!" Sidney stopped, finally noticing how healthy and lively she looked. Her face was full of color, and her spirits seemed high-nothing like someone who was unwell. His brows immediately furrowed as he said, "If you're fine, why did you tellyou weren't? Do you know how worried I was?" "I know, I know. I was wrong, I won't do it again," Ruth replied, nodding quickly but with a tone that made it clear she wasn't all that sorry.
She swiftly changed the subject, "Anyway, Sidney, letintroduce you to someone. This is Diana White, the niece of Jackie. She's one year younger than you and studied architectural design in college, just like you. I'm sure you two will have plenty to talk about." Ruth then turned to the young woman standing beside the bed and smiled. "Diana, this is my son, Sidney Troy." Diana stood up, dressed in a delicate floral dress, her whole de pure and fresh. She gave Sidney a shy smile and extended her hand. "Hello, Mr. Troy." It finally dawned on Sidney why his mother had summoned him in such a hurry.
Feeling a bit resigned, he knew he couldn't be rude to the young woman.
With a polite smile, he extended his hand and said, "Hello, Miss White." Ruth leaned back in her bed with a satisfied smile. "I'm feeling a bit tired. Why don't you two head outside and chat?" Diana blushed slightly and glanced at Jackie, who chimed in, "Diana, why don't you go buyscanned fruit? I've been craving it." "Okay, sure," Diana replied sweetly, nodding obediently.
Sidney shot his mother a helpless look before stepping out of the hospital room with Diana.
Diana's gaze couldn't help but drift toward him. Dressed in a black suit, his hair slightly tousled from running over, Sidney looked clean-cut and handsome. His sharp features, neatly arched brows, and bright eyes gave him the air of the kind Of sunny guy she had always admired. Even his voice, calm and clear, was exactly her type.

"Do you know where the supermarket is, Miss White?" Sidney asked e m breaking the silence. Diana shook her head. "No, I don't. Could you takethere?" "Sure." Sidney nodded, leading the way toward the supermarket.
As they waited by the elevator, Sidney had already regained his compasure, clearly not interested in striking up a conversation. Since his mother hadn't explicitly told him the purpose of this setup he figured he could just play dumb-take Diana to the e elget and then bring her back. Simple.
But Diana wasn't thinking the same.
She had fallen for him at first sight!
As they stepped into the elevator, Diana turned to him with a soft smile and asked what kind of work are you doing now, Mr. Troy?"
