Jay explained, saying, "Grand Asia removed the labels to protect my privacy."
Rose found it suspicious. 'This fella’s illness is not some shameful disease. Why does he need to be so secretive about it?'
After Jay took the medication, he began his work on the bed.
Meanwhile, Rose sat at the round side table at a corner in the room while concentrating on her book about patient supportive care.
It was such a quiet time.
It was unknown if Angelina's soul had transmigrated into a crappy student’s body and was being unduly influenced by it, but she felt sleepy whenever she read books.
After half an hour, Rose was sound asleep with her head on the table.
Jay heard her regular and soft breathing. He tiptoed out of bed, covered a blanket over her, and returned to his bed.
He was not in the mood for work and only had eyes for her.
At noontime, Jay's mother came to visit with a sweetlooking young girl.
When she saw the care worker taking a nap at work, she burst into anger.
"What sort of care worker is this? How dare she steal a nap inside the patient's room?"
Rose was jolted awake by that sudden burst of anger. She opened her sleepy eyes to see Jay's mother in front of her.
Her sleepiness dissipated to nothing when she saw Jay’s mother and the beautiful young lady next to her.
She stood up nervously and apologized, saying, "I'm sorry, Ma'am. I've neglected my duties."
"Hmph! So you know that you've neglected your duties? Then hand in your resignation letter and leave immediately!”
Hearing this, Rose begged, saying, "Ma'am, I won't repeat the same mistake. Please give me another chance.”
Jay's mother looked at Rose with annoyance and was shocked to find the sickly skin that was exposed outside her mask.
She exclaimed in shock, "Grand Asia always hires nurses with a clean and pleasant appearance. How did a person like you... Get hired?"
She may not have said it directly, but Rose could guess what she meant.
At this moment, she wished that she was a snail that could hide in its shell. She hoped that everyone would just ignore her existence.
