Chapter 722 - JoAnnas birthday (2) (1/2)
JoAnna shivered at the thought what would happen if Jeff didn't clear up things with Isabella. Would he be married to her by now? Who knows…? Luckily, no one knows… because Jeff and Isabella, that was not meant to be.
JoAnna met Jeff seventeen years ago, and even though she didn't recognize him, or remember him… her heart did. She took care of hundreds maybe thousands of patients since she started working on her residency, and not a single one got her attention. But when she met Jeff, that changed.
Now she knows that at that time, she struggled to keep that grumpy patient from room 412 out of her mind because her heart was fighting against it. Her heart was telling her that he is the one. JoAnna wonders, if at that time she understood what her heart was telling her, would she listen? Would she believe that the man from room 412 is destined to be the love of her life? Probably not.
His next birthday they will be married. She needs to come up with something to make it very special. What can she do for a man who has everything? She smiled… Yes, Jeff has everything, but there are few things that only she can give him.
”I'm ready for you…”, Jeff's voice pulled her from her thoughts.
”You are in a good mood.”, he observed her gentle smile directed at him when she stood up.
”Yes.”, she admitted. ”I was thinking how we are not long together, but I already have so many sweet memories with you.”
Jeff smiled hearing her words. ”And there is a lifetime more of those ahead of us.”
JoAnna melted in his embrace. And his gentle kiss was just right to make her head spin. She didn't realize when he lifted her up. By the time she came around, he carried her into the dining room which was lit up only with candles. Looking back through the door, she can see that the whole lower floor has lights off.
”Wow…”, JoAnna said under her breath at the sight of an elaborate meal set up on the dining table mixed in with candles and flower arrangements. Soft music coming from the hidden speakers completed the absolutely romantic atmosphere.
”Happy birthday…” Jeff kissed JoAnna's temple and placed her to sit on the chair.
They had their meal while exchanging loving gazes. JoAnna was over the moon and she felt like she is drifting between reality and imagination. But she never imagined anything like this. This is perfect. Jeff made it perfect.
When they finished food, Jeff told her not to move. He swiftly collected plates and went to the kitchen. Less than a minute later, he returned with a heart-shaped white cake which had one candle lit up in the middle.
”Don't forget to make a wish before blowing…”, Jeff reminded JoAnna as he placed the cake in front of her.
JoAnna looked at the cake and was so touched that she felt like crying. This man… is amazing. ”It's been a long time since I blew birthday candles… Why one candle?”
