Gorman staring at her inside the car with cold eyes, Wendy clenched her hand into a fist.
How could he know her new address?
They just looked at each other through the window.
Gorman didn't get out of the car, while Wendy didn't greet him either.
After a moment, Wendy turned away.
Gorman and her were strangers now.
So she could neglect him directly.
However Gorman did not get out of the car or say anything to her either.
The next morning, a student told Wendy that a girl in their dorm vomited and had watery stools last night. She had got injection of some physiological saline from the school clinic. But the doctor said that the girl still needed to go to the hospital to have a careful exam. And they were told to ask for help from their assistant teacher. So they texted her.
Wendy immediately contacted the girl and went to her dormitory after seeing the message.
The girl's was still very weak. Wendy then brought the girl to the hospital alone.
By the time they finished all the examination and got back to school, it was already at noon.
Hearing their daughter was ill, the parents of the sick girl flew to San Diego overnight.
Wendy brought the parents to the girl's dormitory.
Her parents felt assured after finding that her daughter was recovering.
Wendy then arranged her parents to stay in the hostel in the university.
Then this whole thing was finally finished.
It was already half past one in the afternoon. The canteen's door had been closed.
Wendy went back to the office hungrily. But Linda immediately told her, "Miss Evans, Mr. Taylor just called to ask you to go to find him in his office when you came back."
Wendy frowned.
Why did Gorman want to see her at this time?
"Okay, thank you."
Wendy just drank a cup of water and left.
She then arrived at Gorman's office and knocked on the door.
"Come in."
"Mr. Taylor, they said you're looking for me just now."
Gorman sized Wendy up. "Take a seat." said Corman dryly as he also pointed to the seat in front of his desk.
Wendy walked to take the seat.
Then they looked at each other.
No one could imagine that they would meet again with such different identities one day.
Gorman threw a form to Wendy and said, "This is your evaluation form of this month. And you have already been deducted two points."
"Why?"
"I heard a student of yours was ill. And you took her to the hospital today?"
"Yes," Wendy said calmly. "I think I have done the right thing."
"But she has been ill last night. Then why are you so late to take her to the hospital in this morning?"
"The girl didn't call herself for she did not want to bother me."
Gorman's expression was cold. "Are you sure you have not asked them to not disturb you after work?"
"You…" Her hands on the knees were clenched into fists.
"I can tell you the reason why I deducted your scores. Because of your negligence, our students' parents have to come all the way to the school to check their daughter's safety. This not only affected their jobs but also our school's reputation for they cant' trust us anymore. So you should take the responsibility this time."
