Trapped with a Doctor novel Chapter 112

Angela was totally confused. She wondered if Stanley was interested in Nancy.

"If he does not respond, you should make the first move and send him a message. You can ask him what he is busy with, " said Angela, offering Nancy her cell phone. According to Angela, Nancy should not just wait and do nothing. Opportunities like this don't come twice.

"What if he is busy at work?" said Nancy, nervously taking the cell phone from Angela's hand.

"Oh, come on! It's just a message, not a phone call. He won't be bothered! He would just read the message, respond if he wants to, and that's it."

That sounded reasonable, thought Nancy. "Okay then, I'll send him a message!"

Nancy searched for Stanley's WeChat account on the cell phone and then tried to type something. But she was still too shy to take the first step and send him a message. Angela became anxious. She took the cell phone back from Nancy and started typing herself. "What are you busy with? I am all alone at the hospital and am getting really bored!"

Angela was at least right about that. Gage was so busy that he could spend no more than an hour every day with Nancy in the hospital.

What about the remaining time? Usually the caregivers and nurses of the hospital gave her company.

Nancy wanted to take back her cell phone. She said, "Angela, I don't feel messaging him would be right..."

"Don't worry. It's just a casual message... Emm... If he asks why I sent him the message, I'll say that I was going to send it to Arvin, but accidentally sent it to him!"

Nancy looked at Angela. She was sure that it would not be that easy to fool Stanley.

"Look Nancy, what's done is done. I can't retrieve the message now!" Anyways, she wanted to see Stanley.

After the message had been sent, the two girls continuously willed the cell phone to ring. After a long while of waiting, each secretly wondered why Stanley had not responded. Angela had been so sure that he would respond.

As time passed, they became more and more disappointed. They had waited quite long for his reply. Maybe he didn't want to reply. Knowing that the certainty of not receiving a reply from Stanley had saddened Nancy, Angela started feeling that she should have restrained herself from sending the message. Maybe, he was not interested in Nancy.

Seeing that it had been quite some time, Angela got up to leave. Just as she was wishing her a speedy recovery, the door of the ward flew open. Surprised, the girls looked at the door and were delighted when they saw a panting Stanley standing there.

Happy to see him, Angela ran to him and gleefully patted his shoulder. "Why didn't you message back! Nancy has been waiting for you, " Angela smiled.

"Angela! Please stop!" admonished Nancy turning very red. She stopped Angela from saying anything more.

Stanley took a deep breath and glanced at Nancy with his beautiful eyes. He liked the way she was blushing. "I was on duty outside all day yesterday, and I've been quite busy at the police station these days, " he explained looking directly at Nancy.

He should have gone back to the police station first, but when he had seen her message, he decided to hand over the remaining work to his subordinates and immediately hurried to the hospital to spend some time with her.

Nancy smiled, shook her head and shyly said, "It's no big deal. You may go to the station first, if it's really urgent."

Stanley walked by Angela and sat down at her bedside. He gently looked at her and asked, "My work has been done. How do you feel today? Is the cut still painful?"

Angela chuckled and secretly winked and waved to Nancy. She then went out of the ward, silently closing the door behind her. The only two people left in the room now were Nancy and Stanley.

Arvin's apartment...

At sharp one o'clock in the afternoon, Lulu arrived at Arvin's apartment.

Angela was casually sitting on the couch, eating instant noodles. When she saw Lulu suddenly appear, she was startled.

She didn't remember that she had asked Lulu, the day before, to come by the apartment at one o'clock. It took her a while to remember her promise.

"Ah Lulu! Could you please wait till I finish my noodles?" she asked politely.

Lulu snidely glanced at the instant noodles on the table and then at Angela. "Are you really the daughter of the director of the Chengyang Private Hospital? How can you eat something as unhealthy as instant noodles?" she asked.

Angela shrugged her shoulders and thought of what had happened after she had left Nancy and Stanley. When she had stepped out of the hospital, she had run into Randal. They had quarreled, which had totally spoiled her till then buoyant mood.

After the quarrel, she had noticed a convenience store on her way back to the apartment. Too angry to cook, she had bought a cup of instant noodles for herself.

After Angela finished her lunch, she guided Lulu to the Research and Development room. Lulu noticed that Angela was not behaving normally and seemed to be angry at something or someone.

"What's wrong with you?" asked Lulu.

"What's wrong with me?" retorted Angela. Argh! She got so irritated whenever she thought of Randal! If she got a chance, she would certainly teach him a lesson!
