Could it be possible that ruthlessness was a valuable quality that an independent woman must possess? If that was the case, Charles would rather not yield to a ruthless and liberated woman such as Nancy.
At noontime, Erin happened to be on duty when she saw Charles approaching with Nadia bolstered in his arms. She hastily greeted him, "Mr. Fu, it's nice to see you. Where is Director Nancy?"
He flashed a wink at her. "Erin, haven't you heard that she is performing surgery in the operating room as we speak? That's why I took little Nadia here, so we could wait for a while. If the operation takes too long, I'll take Nadia home first."
"Ah, of course... I almost forgot," she said with a faltered reaction.
"Erin, please keep Nadia company. I'm going out to buy us some lunch," said Charles.
"Well, Mr. Fu, no problem." Erin smiled and straddled Nadia into her arms.
Charles then strode off.
"Auntie, what did the child that Mommy is treating today looked like?" Nadia asked innocently.
"What? Well… it happened to be a little girl like you, but she was disobedient. She injured her tiny
y means one thing. She is not yet finished with the surgery. If she's done, she will come out, right?" Charles explained patiently.
"You're right, Daddy." Nadia turned around and anticipated as the doors of the operating room creaked open. She suddenly shouted in excitement, "Daddy, the door of the operating room is open! Has Mommy finished the operation?"
Charles and Erin quickly turned around, but to their disappointment, it was Jessie who they saw coming out.
It shouldn't really be a surprise because there were a few operating rooms. There were three in total. Today, Jessie performed a surgery for a child who had a fractured bone. Things went smoothly, so she was able to finish the surgery in just an hour.
As soon as Jessie walked out of the operating room, she immediately saw Charles.
"Mr. Fu?" Jessie greeted politely.
"Ah, Director Jessie, is Nancy's operation about to end?" Charles hoped that Jessie would react fast enough not to tell Nadia that her mother was not in the operating room all along. If Nadia knew her father was lying to her, she would never trust him again.
