The next day, Madilyn felt somewhat uneasy as she sat in her office.
Inexplicably, she checked the flights arriving in Horington and saw one at two o'clock in the afternoon.
When doctors visited her to discuss the hospital bed issue, they noticed she seemed distracted.
Like a robot, she replied, “We'll add one more building to the inpatient department. So, everyone, please hold your horses. Assign the beds to the patients according to the severity of their illnesses. If things still don't work, you may add beds into the corridor. However, you must ask for permission from the patient's family first.”
In the end, her mind became so chaotic and unfocused that she had to call Roxanne for help. “What does it mean to like someone, Roxanne? How should it feel? Jonathan's picking up Coralie at the airport today, and I feel awful. I don't understand why I feel aggrieved.”
Roxanne sighed in her mind when Madilyn's rant bombarded her ears the moment she picked up the phone.
It seems like Madilyn has genuinely caught feelings for him. Hmm, I must say I also feel strangely angry to know that Jonathan's picking Coralie up. As she pondered over the matter, she comforted, “Based on my understanding of Jonathan, I bet he simply thought he was just helping out a friend. You don't need to be too worried about that. However, you should tell him how you feel.”
“How? Do I just tell him I don't like him picking up another woman? I can't say that!” Madilyn knitted her eyebrows.
“Yeah, just like that. See how he reacts. You still haven't told him how you feel about him, right? He's quite dense, you know. How about I ask Lucian to prod him about it?” suggested Roxanne.
Immediately, Madilyn rejected, “Forget about it. Maybe he just doesn't see me that way and only treats me as a friend.”
Roxanne wasn't sure if she should laugh or cry. Her feelings keep switching back and forth. How am I going to help her?
