In VVIP Department
Angela was siting on the bed in a sad mood with gauze over her eyes.
Something had clearly gone wrong in her calculation. Arvin stood beside her. He picked up the left over Chinese medicine for her treatment next time.
"Big wing... Can my eyes be cured?" Angela burst into tears abruptly. She regretted not waiting enough time to test whether that liquid was suitable for application.
Nancy held up her hands and consoled her warmly, "Don't worry, Angela. Luckily, it didn't hurt your retina. It just made your eyes swollen. You'll be fine soon."
Arvin tidied himself up and told Angela in a cold voice, "I think it's time for you to leave R and D Department. You have caused enough damage there, and I'm really not too sure of your job position anyway, I don't think anyone is, are you? Oh well, never mind. Fourth wall breaks are for weak literature anyway." To avoid Angela getting hurt once again, Arvin decided to let her be his assistant. In this way, it was much easier for him to take care of her.
"No! It was just an accident! From now on, it will never happen!" Angela was afraid to be dispatched to another position so she promised him firmly not to let this sort of thing ever happen again.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Arvin. I'm also responsible for not taking good care of Angela." Nancy apologized to Arvin.
Angela hastily shook her head and said, "It's not your fault so don't blame yourself please."
"Fine. I think you need some time to rethink your mistake by yourself. Don't call me before your mistake becomes clear to you!" Arvin was angry with Angela for her bold use of unknown chemical liquid on her eyes without giving it a strict test.
"What? You will leave me alone?" Angela felt sad.
Arvin glanced at his watch. It was time to do an operation. He consoled her, "Have a rest now. I'll come back at night to visit you."
Angela knew Arvin had a lot of work to do so she nodded, "Okay, I'll take care of myself. Nancy you can also go back to your work now. Go. I will feel better after a sleep." Arvin had excellent medical skills. She believed her eyes would be completely healed with only the best Chinese medicine that Arvin would make for her.
Nancy tried to say something else to Angela but Lucy and Xenia were on their way here, right on time according to Arvin's order, to accompany Angela. So Nancy went back to her work.
It was well past seven o'clock in the evening, and Nancy hadn't gone home yet. When she was about to leave, Stanley called her worriedly to ask her where she was.
Nancy told Stanley what had happened to Angela today. Hanging up the phone, she told Angela, "I'll go home now. What do you want to eat tomorrow? I can prepare some food for you."
"Wow. I want to eat soup dumplings and shrimp porridge!" Angela's mouth was full of water when she thought about these delicious food, so she demanded it without hesitation.
Nancy hugged her, the enabler as always. "Okay, I'll buy them for you. Have a good rest and I'll visit you tomorrow morning."
"Thanks hon." Lucy entered the ward when only Angela was left there alone. Peeling an apple for Angela, Lucy began to inquire, "Angela, are you Mr. Arvin's girlfriend now?"
Angela considered it for a moment, then she told Lucy with an uncertain tone, "I don't know... Maybe not yet!"
"What?
Not yet? You need to take actions and become his girlfriend as soon as possible! How could you be so patient?" 'Clearly Mr. Arvin loves Angela, but why don't they confess their love for each other?' Lucy wondered.
It really was a head-scratcher, one must say! Angela scratched her head and said with shyness, "I also want to establish our relationship as a couple. Don't worry. I'll try my best to make it work, " she tittered. 'Yes! I must marry Arvin someday!' she spoke to herself.
Angela felt tired for lack of sleep these past nightmarish day of sloughing hell and pain. She fell into a deep and dreamless sleep the moment Lucy left the ward.
Several hours later, she was woken up by a familiar voice, then she frowned and tried to open her eyes. But she realized the wound on her eyes still prevented her from seeing immediately, so she just sat up straight in her bed and asked, "Who's there?"
