Without saying anything, Nancy lowered her head and took off her white gown.
It was not that she didn't want to say it, but she thought that what she had said was enough.
As much as she wanted to be with Charles, being with him was just impossible
Without waiting for Nancy to reply, Charles went out and left dejectedly.
"Wow, Dr. Nancy, you didn't even get a wink the whole night! I really do admire you for your dedication!" Jessie said sarcastically as she crossed her arms and leaned against the door.
Nancy thought it best to ignore her and didn't say a word.
"I really admire your ingenuity. In order to set up the Second Pediatric Department, you even made Mr. Landon, who was already so old, be confined in the Pediatric Department. You really are something. I'm clapping my hands for you!"
Jessie continued to applaud, not taking Nancy's indifference into consideration and continued on her tirade.
When Nancy finished changing her clothes, she finally got fed up by Jessie's nagging and faced her head on. "Director Jessie, are you done criticizing me?"
"Why are you mad? I was only telling the truth. Dr. Nancy, if you're not guilty, then you shouldn't be so angry. You're just mad because I am right, am I not?" Jessie had loathed Nancy ever since she started working at the hospital. This time, she felt that Nancy deliberately had Landon confined under the Pediatric Department so she could show off her connections. After all, the
answered, "Yes, I am."
She strode towards the dining table, took a chicken wing and put it in her mouth. "Wow, it smells good. I think you have improved on your cooking skills. This tasted better than before."
"Thank you. I'm flattered by your praise." Nancy could sense a touch of self-mockery in his voice.
"Don't say that..." She didn't know how to explain herself, so she washed her hands and sat at the table to eat quietly.
When he saw that she was gobbling down the food as if she had been starved, he smiled with satisfaction.
It seemed that by only looking at her, she could already make him happy and release the dark clouds surrounding him.
"Eat some more." Just as he just finished his words, they could hear Nancy's phone ringing.
She picked it up looked at the screen. The caller was Jay.
Knowing he wouldn't call her up for no reason, she answered the phone in a hurry.
Before she could open her mouth to inquire, she heard him talking anxiously,
"Nancy, come here quickly. There seems to be something wrong with the medicine Grandpa has taken. He seems to have taken an extra bottle and might have overdosed. His heart is beating very fast now. We are at a loss as to what to do!"
"How could this have happened?" asked Nancy in bewilderment. Absentmindedly, she dropped her chopsticks and they fell on the ground.
"What's wrong? Has something happened?" he asked Nancy apprehensively when he saw her bloodless pale face.
