Natalia was just about to hit the hay when suddenly, a knock came from the door.
Scarlett called out, somewhat irritated, "Who is it now?"
She went to open the door and was blunt. "Yes?"
"Who is it?" Natalia asked.
"Some jerk! And he's got a woman with him."
Natalia frowned and went over.
At the door, she froze.
Hamilton was drenched from head to toe.
His black shirt clung to him, outlining his physique.
And the nanny, not a spot wet on her.
Natalia's expression soured instantly.
This jerk, definitely up to no good.
She glared at Hamilton. "What do you want?"
Before Hamilton could speak, the nanny chimed in.
"Mr. Fowler sent me over with some food and stuff for you."
As she spoke, she made her way inside.
Natalia wanted to stop her but felt awkward doing so.
As the nanny entered, Hamilton tried to follow.
Natalia was about to shut the door.
Hamilton quickly stopped it with his foot.
"I'm soaking wet, let me come in and change."
Natalia was not amused.
"I don't have clothes for you."
Unabashed, Hamilton persisted, "Then let me just dry off, can I?"
Seeing his hair still dripping, Natalia found herself unable to refuse.
Just then, the nanny spoke up again.
"Oh dear, if he doesn't dry off, he'll catch a cold." She pulled Hamilton inside.
"Ms. Jenkins, Mr. Fowler didn't want to get your clothes wet, so he gave me the umbrella. Just let him dry off."
Natalia looked from the nanny to Hamilton.
Finally, she turned, fetched a towel from the bathroom, and threw it at him.
"Dry off and get out!"
Hamilton caught the towel with a smile and began to dry himself leisurely.
Scarlett thought to herself, what a shameless man.
If it were her, she'd probably have thrown him out with the mop. This jerk, only daring to take advantage of Natalia's soft heart!
The nanny had brought a thermos.
She now opened it at the dining table.
"Ms. Jenkins, and Scarlett, right? I made some soup; come have some."
The nanny didn’t act like an outsider at all. After speaking, she then looked at Hamilton.
"Mr. Fowler, have some too after you're done. It'll warm you up."
Hamilton nodded, finished drying off, and went to get three bowls.
After serving everyone, Hamilton approached Natalia, looking at her, "Try it, the nanny made it especially for you."
"I'm not hungry."
Natalia turned to go back to her room.
But Hamilton pulled her back, handing her a bowl of soup.
"Eat while you can, before you start feeling sick."
His comment made Scarlett snort with derision.
"Wow, Mr. Fowler cares now? Where were you when Natalia needed you?"
Hamilton's gaze darkened.
"Dr. Scarlett, Elliott is trying to mess up your residency, did you know?"
Scarlett was taken aback, "What?"
Hamilton smirked, "Seems like your hospital's residency slots got delayed, but Benevolent Care Hospital got a bunch of new opportunities through an international partnership."
Scarlett was livid. Elliott, that nutcase!
She changed and stormed out.
