Nancy, however, was bashful when her desirous heart had been so indecorously unpackaged like this in front of Stanley. "Get out of it, Angela. Grace is Stanley's girlfriend. Come. Sit near me."
Grace was Stanley's girlfriend?
Hearing this, two people changed their countenance.
One was Stanley and the other, of course, was Grace.
"Who told you that I am her boyfriend?" Stanley asked Nancy out of perplexity. He did not understand why Nancy had said this to Angela.
Grace became worried that the truth was about to be revealed, so she changed tact. "My head is aching badly, Stanley. Can you take me to the doctor?"
Angela was astonished at the woman's pretensions. What a bitch!
Grace's face was as pretty as a white lotus, but her heart was as ugly as la fleur du mal. "Headache? Let me knock it out," said Angela.
"Hey don't start any trouble now, you hear?" Grace's tone turned sharp when she got annoyed.
Stanley didn't pay any attention to their fight, but stared at Nancy, who was lying in the sickbed, and waited for her reply.
Feeling his eyes on her, she lowered her head and said, "So... She isn't your girlfriend?"
Stanley sensed something from Grace's flustered look.
"It's all because Grace has been driving a wedge between you and Nancy. Nancy has been sad about it for a long time," Angela explained to Stanley. She threw caution to the wind for the sake of Nancy's happiness.
When Angela said this, Stanley fixed his excited eyes on Nancy.
"Don't you know that Stanley? My Dear Nancy likes you..."
"Angela!" Nancy stopped Angela at once. She had been too excited to keep her big mouth under control.
"There there," Angela scratched her head and smiled sheepishly. "Nancy should speak for herself."
Grace gasped and grabbed Angela, dragging her out of the ward.
To everyone's surprise, Grace kicked open the door and flung Angela in.
Angela rubbed her aching wrist. She did not expect the woman named Grace Dong to have practiced kung fu or something. Otherwise, how could she flung her with such violence.
"Angela, you bitch! You've ruined everything! Bitch!" Grace swore at Angela with her teeth gnashing, and her eyes aflame.
It was the first time Angela had been called such terrible names. Of course she had been in a bad mood--a very bad mood indeed!
So there was no point adding succor to Grace's fury.
Angela opened her bag, drew out some tube and sprayed it into Grace's mouth.
