"Thank you, Dr. Roland, I'm really happy that you can cure my leg." Angela forced a smile.
Roland nodded slightly, "It's time for your checkup today. Don't forget to come over later."
It had been less than a week since her last checkup, and by saying that, he was obviously helping her find an excuse to leave.
"Thank you, Dr. Roland, I'll come over after I send these to Old Mr. Harvey with Felix." Angela said.
She clutched the corner of her coat slightly and her hands were even sweatier than when she was facing Felix alone.
She was about to meet Lawson, and he wasn't as easy to fool as Felix! And when dealing with Lawson, she had to prevent Felix from exposing her.
With the nutrients in his hand, Felix became impatient when listening to the meaningless conversation between the two.
"Then mind your own business first. I'll take my leave." Roland smiled at Angela and left.
Felix looked at Roland's back and snorted, then he asked in a bad mood, "Which ward?"
"Probably the whole floor, I guess." Angela had something on her mind, so she answered after a pause.
Felix instantly stopped. He narrowed his foxlike eyes and gritted his teeth, "You fool me?"
"I only knew Old Mr. Harvey was sick and the Harvey family came. They stayed in the wards of this floor at night." Angela said.
She didn't know about the details at all. Everything she knew was got from Raya. Moreover, she didn't know exactly which ward Lawson was in.
Felix was not satisfied with her ambiguous answer, "I asked you, which ward is Old Mr. Harvey in?"
He bent down to meet her eyes, looking at her for a moment, and then asked, "You don't know which ward Old Mr. Harvey is in and you lied to me about that, do you?"
"How is it possible?" Sweat appeared on Angela's nose. Suddenly, she remembered the lady asked her to be quiet once said. The old lady said her husband had lung cancer! Since Lawson also had lung cancer, he must be on this floor!
She lifted her limp finger to the ward in front of her and pretended to be relaxed, "That one."
Felix straightened up and looked towards where she was pointing, then took a big step towards the ward with the nutrients in his hands.
Angela followed behind him and she was still trying to figure out the wording of her response to Lawson, so she slowed down as much as she could to stall for time.
But the hospital corridor was not very long at all, so even if she walked slowly, she soon arrived at the ward.
"What are you dawdling about? Hurry up!" Felix gave Angela a sidelong glance and was about to knock on the ward door.
Angela subconsciously shouted as she watched him move, "Wait a minute!"
Felix stopped and looked at Angela with confusion and impatience.
"Old Mr. Harvey is not in good health, you may upset him if you knock on the door like this." Angela's hands were sweaty. She wiped them against her dress, but just as they dried, another burst of sweat appeared again.
She hadn't figured out what to say to Lawson. If her lie was exposed, she might have to face the wrath of both Lawson and Felix!
Felix leaned against the wall with the nutrients in his hands, looked at Angel with narrowed eyes, and said slowly, "Are you hiding something from me?"
