Chapter 129 An Old Classmate

Jessie's blush seared through her cheeks and for a minute she thought her face was on fire. "I..I...I don't like common men!" she stuttered while defending herself.

"I doubt that! There will always be someone destined for you!" Nancy teasingly added, which only emphasized the reddening of her workmate's cheeks.

The latter was now ever more awkward and coy, lightly patting her face to hide the rosiness of her cheeks. "You have an operation this morning, Dr. Nancy. You should get ready."

With those words, Jessie hurried away out of sheer embarrassment.

After she left, a nurse came over the office.

"Dr. Nancy, a patient came yesterday. She is waiting for you to check on her."

"Which ward?"

"No. 32."

"Alright. I'll make the rounds in the wards later!"

After saying that, she put on the white gown, and headed for the ward.

In one of the beds lay a girl whose pair of eyes glinted slight pain.

After checking her vitals, Nancy learned that the patient wasn't severely injured.

"Does it hurt?" she asked, pressing her stomach lightly.

The little girl shook her head and muttered, "No!"

"Don't listen to her. She is in so much pain that she can't even jump. She's just afraid of getting surgery and that's why she's pretending!" A tall and handsome man walked in while furiously spitting those words.

Turning around to see who it was, Nancy was a little surprised. The man, who now stood with his arms crossed against his chest, seemed quite familiar.

"Jerome Liao?" she uttered a name, hoping that her hunch

n bother to glance at him and instead just locked his eyes on Nancy.

"You have so many classmates, don't you? And what are the odds that all of them are men? There was Ethan Ye and now here comes Jerome Liao. Who will be next?" His voice dripped with extreme sarcasm while his face bore a mocking smug.

Jerome Liao withdrew his hand awkwardly and uttered, "What's wrong with having a lot of classmates?"

"But do you think it is also common to date male classmates?" This time, Charles turned to look at Jerome Liao with a condescending expression.

"What are you talking about?" As an esteemed university instructor, Jerome Liao never engaged himself in gossips.

So he knew nothing about their engagement.

In fact, judging by his looks and suit, he thought Charles was a respected man, but his words exhibited otherwise.

"If you know my relationship with Nancy, you'll think that it's rather wrong to go on a date with. She's my fiance!" Charles' voice rose to the roof, much to Jerome Liao's surprise.

Nancy, on the other hand, was too embarrassed that her face flustered to the extreme.

"Stop talking nonsense, Charles Fu. We broke up a long time ago. It's none of your business whether I go on a date or not!" As she spoke, she grabbed Jerome Liao's hand and prepared to leave.

But before she could even take a step, Charles had already blocked her way.

"What makes you think you can date other men, huh?!" As he towered over her, Charles voice was coated with so much dominance that almost made Nancy's knees quiver in fear.
