After drinking her milk, Angela gaped at Arvin. "What can I do?"
"My daily meals!" If he worked, she would get to be his housewife and prepare meals for him.
Angela giggled at this, but her face changed rapidly when she realised its implications.
"It's impossible!"
Arvin gave her a tissue. He halted and said, "What about the research room...?"
"Fine, deal!"
...
Wearing a jogging suit, Angela hummed on her way to the VVIP Inpatient Department.
Xenia was getting changed. She looked at Angela curiously, "Eh? Angela, you are in an extremely good mood today!"
"Right you are!" she said without hesitation.
Though they may not have a viable future, Angela still felt happy when she was with Arvin.
Lucy came over to Xenia. "Angela seems so radiant today. She must be in love!"
Xenia pulled on her uniform and suddenly understood. "Oh! That's it! Angela, " she called. "What does your boyfriend look like? You must take us too see him someday!"
Their teasing caused Angela's face to go red. "It's not like that! You're overthinking! Get changed, quickly!"
... Nancy wasn't in yet. Nothing had been explained to her still. The last time she spoken to her, she let her know she was coming over. That's when Arvin pulled her away. How would she react when she would hear the news?
Angela was on the point of phoning her when Nancy's gentle and familiar voice came trilling through the dressing room. "Oh, Angela!"
"Nancy! My dear Nancy!" Angela ran to her and kissed her on her cheeks.
Lucy shook her head, spotting the opportunity for a joke. "Angela, is Nancy your boyfriend?"
They smiled at each other. "Yes! You're right!"
Lucy rubbed the goose bumps that appeared on her arms. "Come on! There you go again! Hurry up and get changed. It's time to call the roll!"
"Hahahaha!"
... The dressing room was filled with laughter.
After the morning meeting, Lucy took Angela to visit the patient in the third ward. But she didn't stay for long, because Nancy called her away. "Angela, Winnie is looking for you!"
Nancy covered for Angela as she made her way to Winnie's office.
When she arrived, Winnie gave her a medical record and told her, "We received a patient this morning. She is now at the sixth ward and she asked you to be her nurse specifically."
Specifically? Angela looked over the medical record. When she saw the patient's name, she couldn't believe her eyes.
Lulu Gu.
Her case history showed that she was suffering dyspnea, dizziness, and hypodynamia...
Angela was not stupid, she had seen through her trick at a glance.
She had used the same trick when she was six years old. At that time, in order to have more time with her father, she had feigned illness to stay in the hospital.
When Sven asked what was wrong, she put down a story about sore legs and an upset stomach, despite no ostensible cause.
