My Secret Husband Is My Cold Boss novel Chapter 18

"Damn, your mom packed you a feast again."

In their department, only Riley and Wendy were locals.

And since Wendy was the Chief Resident, she only went home once a week.

Every time she returned, she brought a massive haul of homemade food to share with the staff.

Wendy smiled at Victor. "Yep, so you definitely ordered your takeout way too early."

Victor instantly cried foul. "How was I supposed to know you were coming back tonight?!"

For doctors who lived locally, days off meant sleeping in their own beds and only returning to the hospital on Monday morning.

Victor asked, "Chief Gates, it's been a month since you last went home. Your mom must have missed you like crazy. Why didn't you stay longer to keep her company?"

Wendy just smiled, opting not to answer.

Her eyes flicked to the plastic takeout bag in his hand as she awkwardly changed the subject. "Why don't you give your food to that buddy of yours in Orthopedics and eat with us instead?"

"Oh, I couldn't impose like that."

Victor said that, though he was practically drooling into the bags Wendy was holding.

Living far from home, the only thing doctors truly craved was the taste of a home-cooked meal.

But for them, cooking was an absolute luxury.

When they barely had enough time to sleep, who had the energy to chop vegetables?

Chatting and laughing, the two rode the elevator up to the sixth floor.

Sophie was just walking out of the pharmacy. Seeing Wendy, her face lit up. "Hey, Chief Gates is back!"

"Did you go shopping? Look at all these bags."

"It's food. Pass it around for everyone."

Wendy handed a portion of the snacks and fruit over to Sophie.

Sophie didn't take them. Instead, she shook her head and discreetly tugged on Wendy's sleeve, jerking her chin toward the on-call room.

"Your mom has been waiting by the duty room since noon. She said you weren't answering your phone."

Wendy quickly dug her phone out of her pocket.

Sure enough, she had accidentally flipped the silent switch at some point during the day.

She pocketed her phone and set the heavy bags down on the nurses' station counter.

"You guys divide this up. I need to head to my room."

The Chief Resident's quarters were at the very end of the hall.
