Nancy needed time to process what she saw and everything Erin said. The room was silent for about ten minutes.
She already knew about Jessie's greed, but she didn't expect it was that much. It was as if she was exchanging her conscience for money.
Nancy was a doctor herself. Jessie should know that it was their responsibility as doctors to save lives and heal the wounded.
Finally, Nancy broke the silence. "Erin, please put the notebook here," she said with a sigh.
"Director Nancy, you must keep this a secret for my sake! If Jessie finds out about this, I'll be in big trouble!" Erin pleaded.
"Don't worry, Erin. I know exactly what to do," replied Nancy in a reassuring voice.
"Thank you. That's really good to know. I have to get back to work now." After saying this, Erin walked out of the room.
Nancy's heart felt heavy for the rest of the day.
After a long day at the hospital, she needed to call Charles and hear his voice.
Charles, meanwhile, had just walked out of the CEO's office. He was on his way to pick up the children in the kindergarten.
The sudden call from Nancy surprised him. "How come you have free time now?" His gladness was evident in his voice.
"Well, it's because I want to see you," said Nancy whose voice r
the teacher reminded her.
"Oh, okay, teacher. I understand." Nadia agreed with her teacher, but her eyes were still lit up with excitement. She liked how it felt to be a star, liked it very much.
Especially the idea of signing autographs for fans. That would be so cool!
Nadia couldn't help but look forward to that day when fans would chase her, shouting her name. "Nadia! Nadia! Please give me your autograph!"
"Daddy, will you and mommy allow us to be stars? Would you let us act in movies?" Nadia looked up at her dad and waited for his answer.
Charles patted her little head and said, "You two are still so young. After you finish college, maybe then you can be stars."
Nadia counted with her fingers. "Wow, that's so many years ahead, daddy. When can I go to college?"
Nancy hugged Nadia to comfort her and said, "Don't worry, my daughter. Take your time. Let's go home."
"I wish that time would pass by fast so I can be a star now!" Nadia said as she pouted unhappily.
"But there are many young stars, right? Daddy, mommy?" Bobby suddenly asked.
Charles and Nancy looked at each other. Nancy shrugged and sighed.
Charles held Bobby's hand and they started walking towards the car.
While walking, he asked, "Do you worship stars?"
