He looked up, feigning composure, only to find a nurse standing at the door. It was a false alarm. He let out a long sigh.
“What's the matter?” The young nurse's face flushed slightly as she held a vase and placed it on the cabinet.
“Well, these are fresh flowers I picked from the garden this morning to help freshen up the air for you.” Spencer looked at the vase, feeling a bit bewildered.
What does a grown man like me need flowers for? How come even a little nurse thinks that I'm delicate?
He was instantly annoyed, but his good upbringing prevented him from losing his temper. Hence, he said coldly, “Thank you, but I don't need it. Flowers and such don't suit a grown man like me. You'd better take them away.” The nurse was instantly dumbfounded.
What's all this about being suitable or not? Isn't it quite normal to have a vase of flowers in a room? Many people even bring a bouquet of fresh flowers when they visit someone who is ill!
Feeling both embarrassed and angry, she hugged the vase and turned away.
This patient is really something. She initially had a good impression of Spencer, who had fair skin and was quite handsome. Several young nurses in the hospital also had a crush on him and were eagerly competing to take care of him in that ward.
Naturally, the nurse was shocked by Spencer's comment, and she was deeply hurt by it. Seeing the nurse leave, Spencer quickly resumed watching the tutorial on his phone and took out the craft kit as well. Following the steps in the tutorial, he began threading the needle and started knitting. At first, the weaving was all crooked and uneven, but after a while, he started to feel more comfortable and skilled at it.
It didn't seem as difficult as the seller's reviews made it out to be.
“Mr. White, you...” Ashlyn saw that the door to the ward was open and walked right in. As she looked up, she saw a scene that shocked her.
What on earth is Spencer doing? Is he knitting a sweater? Or is he knitting something else?
Upon hearing her voice, Spencer was startled and quickly hid all the yarn and such in his hands under the blanket. Pretending as if nothing had happened, he turned to Ashlyn and asked, “Ms. Berry, what brings you here?”
“Oh, I'm here to check on your leg injury.” Ashlyn, who was wearing a white coat, held a medical record in her hand. Later, she made her way over to Spencer's bedside.
Looking at Spencer, who was doing his best to keep his cool, Ashlyn doubted if she had seen it wrong earlier.
