Chapter 149 Victor didn't really mind as he drove away from Cresthaven General Hospital, heading toward Cresthaven Memorial Hospital.
Halfway there, as if struck by a sudden thought, he pulled over in front of a florist shop.
Being a weekend, the shop was bustling with people buying flowers.
Victor, dressed casually yet stylishly, was tall, handsome, and exuded an air of nonchalance with his meticulously groomed hair. From head to toe, he seemed to embody a carefree spirit.
The shop assistant noticed him immediately and welcomed him with a cheerful smile. "Are you buying flowers for someone special, sir?" "Yes," he replied lazily.
Since he was going to visit Claire, it would be impolite to show up empty-handed.

The truth was, he had never shown her much kindness in the past. Today, he saw this hospital visit as an opportunity to offer a floral apology for his previous demeanor.
But being the proud Mr. Lewis, an outright apology was out of the question. The assistant asked again, "Are the flowers for a lady or a gentleman?" "A lady," Victor answered offhandedly.
The assistant took another quick glance at Victor.
He seemed to be a wealthy young man, buying flowers for a girl to win her over.
Her smile brightened even more. "Leave it to us, sir. We'll make sure you're satisfied." Victor didn't say much. He wasn't well-versed in the language of flowers, so it was best to leave it to the experts. He waited outside the shop, smoking a cigarette.
The dashing Mr. Lewis, with his good looks and devil-may-care attitude, captured the attention of passersby.
Especially the women, who couldn't help but steal glances at him.
Swere even tempted to approach him and ask for his number.
Eventually, a young and pretty woman mustered the courage, pulling out her phone as she walked toward Victor. Just as she was about to reach him, the shop assistant cout.
"Sir, your flowers are ready." A grand bouquet of ninety-nine vibrant red roses was presented to Victor.
Victor: Even though he wasn't a flower expert, he knew what red roses symbolized. Giving red roses to Claire, who was hospitalized, seemed entirely inappropriate. He considered refusing them, but with so many onlookers, he couldn't possibly make a scene. As Mr. Lewis, a key physician at Cresthaven General Hospital, he couldn't afford such an undignified move.
Claire didn't have much flair for romance; she probably wouldn't understand the significance of red roses anyway.
With that thought, Victor silently accepted the bouquet.

Victor handed the assistant a few bills, not even bothering to wait for change.
The assistant accepted the money with a smile, "Have a great day, sir!" Victor returned to his car, placing the bouquet on the passenger seat.
He started the engine and continued on his way to Cresthaven Memorial Hospital. On the road, he couldn't e help but glance at the bouquet, imagining Claire's tearful gratitude at the sight of such a grand gesture. A small smile played on his lips.

"Dr. Lewis, are you visiting a patient?" a nurse teased.
Victor smiled slightly. "Yes, a patient." A very peculiar patient.
