Chapter 207 - The Heart's Desire

Arriving at her minimalist apartment, Louisa immediately put her luggage into the storage area. When she was about to open her clothes to take a shower, suddenly the door of her apartment was knocked. Louisa quickly buttoned her shirt back.

She then ran towards the door and peeked through the small gap in the door. Her sweet smile grew when she saw the person who was standing at her door.

Clicked

Louisa's apartment door opened from the inside and the owner of the room came out with a friendly smile. 

"Sorry, Miss Doctor, I come to bring you clean clothes that I have washed and ironed," said the grandmother to Louisa. 

"Thank you, Grandma. Oh right, wait a minute, I'll go and get the money," Louisa answered quickly, as she walked in to get the money near the cupboard. 

"You don't need to pay now, Doctor. Didn't you say the pay was every Sunday? It's only been four days, Miss," the grandmother shrieked quickly. 

From inside the apartment, Louisa smiled, bringing a 10-dollar bill. She then handed the money to the grandmother who was carrying her clean, neatly ironed clothes. The grandmother initially refused the money given by her, but she insisted, the grandmother finally accepted it. 

"Miss Doctor, but this money is too much," said the grandmother with trembling hands holding the money given by Louisa. 

"That money is to buy you a blanket. Didn't you tell me yesterday that you were short of warm blankets at home? So, I gave the money to you. I will still give your salary every week like our original agreement," Louisa replied with a smile. 

"Miss Doctor, why are you so very kind? I am very grateful for your kindness. I don't know how to pay you back, Miss. I don't know how to pay you back other than by saying many thanks like this," said the grandmother with a trembling tone, while crying with emotion. 

"Don't be like that, Grandma, I'm happy to help you. Then you can go home while it's still early. Thank you for the clean clothes. Say hello to grandpa at home, okay?" Said Louisa with a smile. 

The old lady then nodded slowly in response to Louisa's words. She left Louisa's apartment unit to return to her house, which was located not far from Louisa's apartment complex. Louisa looked with emotion at the grandmother who was walking towards the elevator to get down to the first floor. 

"Apparently there are still many people who have more difficult lives than mine," Louisa said to herself with tears in her eyes. 

As it was quite late, Louisa then went into her apartment and locked the door from the inside, before she went to the bathroom to clean herself. For nearly a month living in Frank's apartment, she had left her apartment empty without occupants.

Even though several people had contacted her to rent her apartment, but she refused them, because she thought she would often go back and forth to her apartment. And it turned out that she was now returning to her apartment after separating from Frank. 

"It seems like a beautiful life without any problems only exists in fairy tales," Louisa said softly, as she soaked in her small bathtub. 

During the last one month living in Frank's apartment, Louisa had bathed in a large enough bathtub, but now she had to get used to bathing in her small bathtub again, which only fitted one person. 

Louisa had promised herself that she would forget about Frank and hoped that there would be a man who really sincerely loved her with her imperfect condition.

After taking a long bath, she finally ended her bath and prepared to go to sleep. She then quickly put on the nightgown that had been prepared beforehand. 

When she had climbed into her tiny bed, suddenly her stomach rumbled, demanding to be filled. She finally gave up and got up to look for food in the refrigerator.

However, she had to face disappointment, as there was nothing else in the refrigerator, other than one chocolate bar and mineral water. 

Because her stomach could not be compromised, Louisa finally decided to look for food outside. She then walked to the cupboard to get her jacket and wallet. She quickly got out of her apartment unit and immediately walked to the elevator in the middle. S

he then immediately got into the elevator and went down to the first floor. Not long after, the elevator door finally opened. She quickly got out of the elevator and walked out of the building. 

As she walked down the path that connected to the main road, she was surprised by the headlights of a car that continued to shoot long lights at her. Louisa was almost angry when the car that gave the long light was approaching her.

When she was about to scream, she suddenly smiled when she saw a figure that had just come out of the car. Louisa shrieked with a rising voice. 

"Hi, Louisa, sorry to surprise you," Cecilia said with a smile and walked over to Louisa. 

"I'm not surprised, I'm just angry because I was continuously shot with lights from a distance," Louisa answered with a laugh. 

Cecilia laughed at what Louisa said, and as a result, the two doctors laughed together, making Andrew, who was in the car, smile.

He then opened her car door and walked over to the two beautiful doctors. Cecilia then stopped laughing when she saw Andrew walking towards her. She immediately clung to Andrew's big arm when her boyfriend arrived beside her. 

"Oh right, Louisa, this is my fiancé," said Cecilia, introducing Andrew to Louisa. 

"Oh, my goodness .... are you serious, Cecilia?!! Congratulations!" Louisa responded, holding Cecilia's hand. 

"Thank you, Louisa. You are the first Global Bross staff to know about our status," Cecilia replied with a smile. 

Louisa then hugged Cecilia tightly while congratulating her. Meanwhile, Andrew just smiled seeing two women hugging in front of him. 

"Oh right. Where are you going so late at night alone on the highway like this?" Cecilia asked Louisa. 

"Earlier when I got back from the hospital, I forgot to buy food supplies, and when I opened the refrigerator, it turned out that my refrigerator was empty. As a result, at this hour, my stomach was grumbling. So, I plan to look for food at the end of the road," Louisa smiled. 

"Do you live in the area near here, Louisa?" Andrew asked suddenly. 

"Yes, that's my apartment," Louisa replied, pointing to her apartment complex which was still visible from where they were currently standing. 

"Oh, so you live there? That means we are still close neighbors. My apartment is two blocks from here, Louisa. Earlier you said you wanted to find food, right? Then you can come with us. Of course, we also happen to be hungry, hehe," said Cecilia with a smile, offering a lift to Louisa.

"But won't I be interfering with your date?" Louisa asked, teasing Cecilia and Andrew, who were playing with their cell phones. 

"Of course not, Louisa, we really want to find food. Let's hurry up and get into the car, my stomach is so upset right now," Cecilia answered, pulling Louisa's hand towards the car, meanwhile Andrew just shook his head slowly, seeing the woman who was now his fiancée. 

After Cecilia and Louisa got into the car, Andrew then followed the steps of the two women. He immediately got behind the steering wheel and started the car to go to the restaurant which was not too far from where they were at the moment. 

After driving for nearly fifteen minutes, they finally arrived at a junk food restaurant. Cecilia and Louisa immediately got out of the car, leaving Andrew, who was parking the car properly.

After making sure his car was parked neatly, Andrew then got out of his car and entered the restaurant, following the two women he had brought earlier. 

The three of them sat on a chair that was beside the window, so they could see the view outside. After all the food ordered was finished, the three of them finally decided to return home with some packaged food. 

Louisa only smiled when she saw the intimacy of Cecilia and her fiancé. All the way home, Cecilia and Andrew kept joking, making Louisa burst out laughing because of the two people's behavior. 

"Hey, the trip feels so quick, I finally arrived home," said Louisa, while tidying up the food she had just bought. 

"Next time you're hungry, you can call me, Louisa. We can go together again like today." Cecilia replied with a smile, 

"Of course, if you don't mind me disturbing you," Louisa replied, teasing Cecilia. 

"Aw, don't say that, Louisa. Alright then, see you around, be careful on your way up," Cecilia said, blushing. 

Louisa nodded slowly in response to Cecilia's words. She then stood looking as Andrew's car left. After making sure that their car was gone, Louisa then entered her apartment complex. When she was about to open the gate, suddenly a luxury car blocked her. 

"What …" 

"You're looking for trouble with me, Louisa!!!"
