Christina got up early.
She quickly washed up, changed her clothes and took a taxi toa place she didn't want to go without having breakfast.
"Is Director Ann here?" She arrived early.
It was dusk and most doctors didn't come to the hospital.
A nurse in the emergency room glanced at her.
She didn't see any obvious injury on Christina's body.She said unpleasantly, "If you want to see a doctor, please turn left and register in a queue.You can't designate any doctor here."
"I have something urgent to talk to Steven."
She sounded unreasonable and the nurse said coldly, "Every patient is urgent.But doctors are human and they need rest.Otherwise, how can they work?"
Seeing that Christina didn't leave, the nurse on the night shift was restless.
Her face darkened and she said, "Director Ann doesn't work in the emergency department.Look for him in the multi-functional building at 8 oclock.."
Steven was well-known in the hospital.He was a top doctor hired from abroad.So he didn't work in the emergency room.
Christina was stunned and immediately retorted, "I saw him here last time"
"You must mistake him.He doesn't work here."
The nurse didn't want to talk to her anymore, "We are busy and we should take care of many patients.Please step aside."
Christina took a few steps back and sat in an iron chair by the corridor.She looked dull.She looked at the electronic clock on the wall.
It was 5: 30 and it was early.
Wasn't she clear-headed? Or did she mistake him? She remembered that Steven bandaged her ankle here last time...She overheard Derek and Larry's conversation yesterday.
It seemed that they got a video file from Steven's USB disk.She didn't know what the video was about.
Steven was suspicious.
Derek started to investigate him.It meant that he must do something wrong.
"Miss Dickens, haven't you recovered from your foot injury last time?" Christina heard a sweet voice above her head.
She looked up.
An intern nurse in a light pink uniform stood in front of her.
Christina asked, "Are you talking to me?"
The nurse smiled awkwardly and said, "I've met you before.Director Ann bandaged your foot last time."
After a pause, she added, "After you left that day, the man came back to look for you."
"The man" should be Patrick.
Christina and Patrick were good-looking, so it was not surprising that the nurse recognized her.
Besides, the nurse checked her name.
"Are you Director Ann's friend? He usually doesn't come to the emergency room.He has been sent abroad.Don't you know it?"
Steven was sent abroad.
Christina left the hospital in confusion.
The nurse didn't seem to lie.
She was not sure if Steven was sent abroad, but he was not in the hospital.
Who sent him away? She sat in a stone chair outside the hospital all the morning.She was in a daze and felt sullen.She should ask Steven earlier.
"Do you need a job?"
She was not tired after walking back for two hours.She was thinking about it.
When she was in the square of East Mall, a tall woman handed her a leaflet.
Christina wanted to walk over, but the woman followed her, "Miss, you can be an online celebrity in our company.It is a promising industry.You can definitely earn a lot.."
"I'm not interested in making money"
Christina directly rejected her.
The woman was curious, "What do you live for if you don't want to make money?"
Christina was touched by her question.
What did she live for? Christina stopped and looked at her, "I don't know."
