"Oh…"
Maisie felt completely lost, unable to grasp the situation's severity. Could a nurse's name mix-up be this serious? Nina's words appeared to carry a deeper significance.
Daniel, offering comfort, wrapped his arm around Maisie's shoulders and softly suggested, "Let's go home."
Maisie nodded.
They left, shared lunch, and later relaxed on the couch to watch a movie.
It was only in the afternoon, when Maisie expressed her desire to visit the library, that Daniel mentioned some business to attend to at his company.
After dropping her off at the library, he quickly returned to the hospital.
The examination room's door remained tightly shut, with guards posted outside, and Hazel stood frozen in the same spot he had left her.
Upon seeing him, Nina politely smiled and said, "Mr. Quimby, it might be best if you ask her directly... While she's my student, her conduct hardly aligns with what's expected of a competent healthcare worker."
Daniel elegantly fiddled with a lighter while seated in a chair. The room was eerily quiet, and the tension was evident, almost freezing the world.
Hazel shivered uncontrollably, her body covered in chills. Under Daniel's stern gaze, the pressure felt worse than death itself. Eventually, she couldn't endure it any longer and knelt before him, pleading, "Mr. Quimby, I'm... I'm so sorry. Please forgive me. I didn't do it on purpose."
"Forgive you?" Daniel sneered. "Please elaborate. I didn't quite catch that. What should I forgive you for? Forgiving you for deceiving Maisie into coming here for an examination?
