"Charles!” Nancy yelled angrily. She had never met such a stubborn man.
Charles looked at her fiercely, clearly revealing that he wouldn't give in.
However, his indocility irritated Nancy. She shook her arm and lurched forward to the door.
But, Charles didn't let go of her, and pulled her back hard.
Nancy was a just a thin girl, and she was no match for Charles' strength. As a result, she got dragged into his arms.
All of a sudden, the ward door got opened.
"Sorry... My mistake. I didn't see anything. You two, please carry on!" Jessie said with an explicit smile.
Nancy blushed at once and struggled, but Charles didn't let go of her. Instead, he hugged her tighter, as if to embarrass her deliberately.
"Director Jessie, don't get us wrong!" Nancy wanted to explain, but she sounded as if she was trying for a cover-up.
"Don't worry. I already told you that I haven't seen anything." Jessie looked at Charles obsequiously with a smile.
However, she despised Nancy deep within.
No wonder Hobart was so nice to Nancy. Now it turned out that she relied on Charles for her support.
"That's good. Director Jessie, could you please inform
President Hobart that Dr. Nancy will be the private doctor for Bobby as long as he is in the hospital? As concerning the other patients, please do take good care of them, Director Jessie!" Though Charles spoke politely, he sounded hard and cold.
"Oh... Ha ha, that's all right." Being gazed intensely by Charles, Jessie was scared and was careful not to offend him anyway. She turned around and left in a hurry.
She was jealous and dejected to see that, and wished that it was her who was held by the man instead of Nancy.
Being with Charles was the dream of all girls in the city, and she too was one among them. It was just that Nancy was that lucky one and got hold of him first.
"Charles, I realize now that you are sent by the God almighty himself with the sole intention of punishing me!" Nancy felt totally helpless about the man. She turned around and walked to Bobby's bed.
"So, from now on, I hope you will be a good girl," Charles said, shrugging.
The next day, Bobby woke up early.
The moment he saw Nancy, his big eyes lit up.
"Mommy, I knew I would see you!" He stretched out his little hand and fondled Nancy's beautiful face.
The boy's warm touch instantly made Nancy's heart soften.
"Bobby, you can't make yourself catch a cold. Never ever should you repeat this, do you understand?" She lifted her hand and snuffed his nose.
Frowning, Bobby said melancholy, "But how can I see you if I don't catch a cold? What will I do then?" "You silly boy..." Nancy was speechless.
"As long as you don't catch a cold, I promise you that you can see her whenever you want to," said Charles.
Bobby's eyes became as bright as stars.
But Nancy was utterly confused. 'What the hell do they want?' she thought.
Did she owe them something in her previous life?
Would it be ever possible for her to find a guy to spend the rest of her life with?
"Mommy, do you like me?" Bobby asked, tilting his head.
How could she possibly say no to this young boy?
Besides, she really liked this child. If only he would stop calling her Mommy... She would love him all her life.
"Oh... Of course, I do." Nancy grinned.
"Mom, I feel hungry now. I want to eat something." Bobby stretched his arms, and he looked utterly soft and cute.
