What Erin said shocked Nancy.
What happened between her and Rick?
"What photos? Erin, I don’t understand what you’re saying." Confusion was written all over Nancy’s
face. Why did other people know something about her that she didn’t?
"I can tell from your expression that you know nothing about what happened. Look at this." The next
second, Nancy was already holding Erin's phone.
Pointing at Rick’s face, Erin commented, "You two look good together, but I think you and Mr. Fu are a
perfect match. Rick's eyebrows are so thin, as well as his lips. His lips are definitely not as sexy as Mr.
Fu's. Why do you like such a boring man?"
"Erin, stop! I swear nothing’s going on between me and Rick. I don't like him either..." Nancy smacked
her lips and added, "I have nothing to do with Rick. I have told Charles about this. This photo... Who
took this photo? That person is so immoral!"
People's presumptions made Nancy upset. She didn't know what was wrong with them nowadays. How
could they say that she fell in love with a man just because she had a meal with him?
Did it mean that she could only be with women all her life, unless the man was Charles?
What was this? This didn’t make any sense. Had she lost her freedom to choose who she wanted to
hang out with?
"But from the photo, you are hugging each other. No matter what kind of relationship you have,
everyone only believes what they see with their own eyes. Director Nancy, look, this is Rick's hand and
this is your hand. This is Rick's eyes, and this is yours. No matter who sees this photo, you two look
like a pair of lovers hugging and staring at each other affectionately. If Mr. Fu sees it, he would be
jealous..."
"Then let him be jealous. I don't think there is a future for us, anyway." There was no hint of emotion in
her voice as she said these words. It seemed like she had completely given up on her relationship with
Charles.
"What? Director Nancy, do you know what you are talking about? Charles, No, Mr. Fu is the father of
Nadia and Bobby. Besides, he is a renowned person in this city. A lot of women want to marry him, but
here you are, saying those words like it isn't a big deal. I can see that Mr. Fu loves you so much. How
can you not love him? I think there is no woman in the world who doesn't love a man like him."
"Well, you can go to work now. Let's stop talking about this. I still need to look onto the patients'
conditions in recent days." The more she heard Charles' name, the more her head ached. She
guessed Charles had already seen the pictures, but she thought he was so calm that he didn't even
call her. Was he not bothered at all?
'Forget it. Now the two of us hate each other. If he doesn’t want to call me, then so be it.'
Apparently, Erin had a different thought than her so she said, "Director Nancy, I think you should call
Mr. Fu to explain."
In her heart, Charles and Nancy were the best couple in the world, so she really didn't want them to
break up.
With a forced smile, Nancy replied, "Thank you. I’ll think about it." Although Erin still wanted to say
something, she just quietly left the room.
As soon as Erin left the room, Nancy rested her head on her hands and thought for a while. She was
debating whether to call Charles or not.
Finally, she had decided to give Charles a phone call to explain her relationship with Rick. Besides, she
also needed to ask about Nadia.
After several attempts, Nancy still didn’t get through Charles’ phone.
In the end, Nancy just called the director of the gastroenterology department to ask if Charles took
Nadia home.
It was the most important thing for her, so she finally felt relieved when the director confirmed it.
Therefore, she ignored the gossip on the internet and focused on her work.
Her initial plan was to get off work early to come home and see Nadia.
However, as soon as she walked out of the office, a nurse called and said that Nana had woken up.
Without thinking too much, Nancy hurried to Nana’s room.
True enough, she found Nana awake when she came into her room. Her face was still pale, as well as
her lips, but her eyes were brighter than before.
Seeing her awake and calm made Nancy excited. Maybe one of these days, she would get better. And
once she got better, everything would be clear.
"Nana, this is Nancy."
"Okay, Nancy." Unlike in the past few days, Nana was calm when she called Nancy’s name. She wasn’t
violent.
With a smile, Nancy took out the medicine and said, "Nana, you're sick. Can you take the medicine?"
When Nana saw the medicine Nancy was holding, her eyes flashed with horror. "I don't want to take
the medicine. You can't kill me."
"No, Nana, I won't kill you. You saved my life. How can I hurt you? This medicine is for you. Only when
you recover can you leave here. Do you understand?" Afraid of provoking her, Nancy lowered her voice
and tried to coax Nana with a smile.
However, Nana still shook her head in refusal. "No, I'm not sick. I feel good now, so I don't want to take
any medicine."
To give her a heads up, Rick told Nancy that patients with mental illness were usually resistant to
medicine. It was the reason why the nurses in their department were required to have a relatively high
level of patience.
So Nancy had no choice but to persuade Nana patiently. "Well, Nana, I believe that you are not sick,
but this medicine is only for treating insomnia. If you can't sleep well at night, it will affect your spirit. If
you don't believe me, come down and have a walk. Do you have strength?"
As if she was trying to tell whether Nancy was saying the truth or not, Nana stared at her.
After all that happened to her, it was understandable that Nana found it hard to trust people nowadays.
But Nancy was the last person to give up on her, so she gently held Nana's arm and smiled at her.
Perhaps Nancy's smile was indeed warm and sincere, Nana chose to believe her.
Then she moved a little and got out of bed with the help of Nancy.
Slowly, Nana walked back and forth in the room.
Nana had been making trouble earlier, so she had no strength, and it was difficult for her to move.
In fact, Nana wouldn't have been able to walk for a minute without the help of Nancy.
Nana was out of breath after a short walk, so she was even more convinced with what Nancy had said.
To Nancy’s delight, Nana looked at the medicine in her hand and said,
"I'll take it."
"Well, I'll get you some water now."
With a smile, Nancy helped Nana sit on the edge of the bed, poured Nana a glass of water and asked
Nana to take the medicine.
"If you feel uncomfortable, please tell me. If I'm not here, please tell the nurses. They are all good
people," said Nancy.
"Okay." Her lips moved a little, indicating that she smiled.
This time, Rick's medicine worked. Nana looked so much better now compared this morning.
If Nancy was right, Nana would be able to recall what happened in the club in a few days.
No matter how eager she was to know everything, Nancy clearly knew that she couldn't rush things.
She had to wait until Nana recovered completely.
"Good girl." The way Nancy spoke sounded like she was coaxing a child.
Somehow, it was effective, because Nana grinned at her.
Since Nana was awake now, Nancy took the opportunity to spend time with her.
They chatted happily about the birds outside the window, the flowers in the flowerpot, and even a leaf...
They were all easy topics, and Nancy didn't mention anything about the past.
She had to wait for Nana to speak first.
