Greg grabbed Violet's arms before she could move.
"Are you upset?" Greg asked. Greg felt awful when she talked to him with a calm voice but with no smile. He hurt her and he wanted to make things right before she left.
Violet avoided Greg's eyes and shook her head.
"Please look at me. Are you angry with me?" Greg pulled Violet back into the car to face him.
Violet tried to hide her emotions before she looked into Greg's eyes,"No."
"Okay, I'm sorry. I won't ask again. Please don't be mad, okay?" Greg spoke in a low, hushed voice. He just wanted to make her happy.
"Okay," Violet nodded and forced a smile at Greg. "We need to go inside now. Mr. Gu is probably looking for me already."
"Let's have lunch together," Greg invited her.
Violet answered with a small smile,"Okay."
Greg waited for Violet to enter her department before he reported for work in his department.
Violet arrived at the wards and went straight to Roger's room. He was still asleep when she got there so she carefully pushed open the door to enter.
Despite the quiet entrance, Roger still woke up when Violet came closer. He smiled at the sight of Violet by his bed with his food. She was no longer just in his dreams but already here, by his side.
"Violet," Roger called out.
"Mr. Roger, I'm so sorry I woke you up," Violet apologized and placed his food on his table. She stayed by his bed and focused on him.
"Well, you always arrive at this time so I was already waiting for you," Roger declared. Roger looked forward to Violet's arrival every morning. It was the best part of his day.
"Are you hungry? Did you eat already? Let me get you some water first, then we'll have breakfast," Violet stated with a smile. She took the cup beside his bed and filled it with water.
Laid on his back, he was so happy to be served by Violet.
