The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1423

Cassie saw that Lillian was heading out and that they would definitely bump into one another. She didn't plan on avoiding her or anything. She just continued with her business as she normally would and looked down on her phone.

When Lillian stepped out of Doctor Liu's office, she saw Cassie standing outside. She nodded at Cassie and greeted her with a smile.

They were just acquaintances and Lillian didn't think they needed to make small talk so she was surprised when Cassie called her as she passed by.

"Lillian, where are you going?" Cassie asked, smiling.

Lillian turned and looked at Cassie, a bit surprised. She found that Cassie was looking at her strangely. Did she overhear her conversation with Doctor Liu?

The thought of this possibility made Lillian feel restless, but she still managed a smile and answered, "I'm going to conduct patient rounds. How about you? Are you off duty already?"

Cassie nodded, "Yes, I switched shifts with a colleague. I'll take my leave soon."

When Cassie spoke, she didn't seem to be acting any differently to which Lillian assumed that she hadn't heard anything. "All right, have a nice day. I have to go to work now. Bye."

"Lillian," Cassie called just as she was about to leave.

Lillian turned around in confusion and asked, "Yes?"

"We are nurses, and we must be responsible for our patients. Lillian, I heard that you were a very responsible and kind nurse. I've learned a lot from your story," Cassie said meaningfully.

Cassie really didn't want to see her in any trouble. She would get strung along in the crime, and it was she who would get held accountable not the man who set her up to do it. She was being used by that coward.

Lillian's face turned pale after she heard what Cassie said. But she regained her composure soon and smiled, "Cassie, you're right. We should be responsible for our patients. But I'm not as good as you think. I really have to go now."

"All right. Goodbye," Cassie said.

Lillian headed to the opposite direction. Cassie thought of following her to see what she was going to do but decided against it. She opted to visit Sheryl instead.

Some ten minutes later, Lillian arrived at Sheryl's room with some medical supplies.

Sheryl was confused because she thought she didn't need to have any injections or procedures anymore since she was being discharged tomorrow.

Lillian entered the room and explained, "Mrs. Lu, this is the last infusion before you get discharged tomorrow."

If Sheryl was observant enough, she would notice how pale Lillian's lips were and how her hands were trembling.

Her explanation made Sheryl even more skeptical. She had completely recovered, and the doctor said that she was all right now. What would the infusion be for?

Sheryl creased her eyebrows and asked, "Lillian, are you sure you're not making a mistake? I've already recovered, and Doctor Liu didn't say anything about another infusion."

Lillian already prepared herself for this. She knew that Sheryl would ask questions so she said nonchalantly, "Mrs. Lu, don't worry. It's only a supplemental infusion. You're still quite weak and since you're getting discharged tomorrow, you'll need the extra boost to help speed up your recovery."
