The only reason why a patient was being hospitalized was because they needed to. Sadly, many of
patients' families believed that the hospital was deliberately extending their hospitalization in order to
make money.
This made Nancy feel powerless, for she could only watch.
Her mouth opened to say something, but no words came out. Then she realized that she didn't need to
say anything, because no matter what she said, the patient's family wouldn't believe her.
"Okay, as long as the child's condition is stable, he can leave the hospital. But if something happens to
the child, we... Alas..." For a person who had been working in the hospital for so many years now, it
was still hard for Hobart to say that they wouldn't take responsibility for what was going to happen to
the patient once they left.
Sometimes, the patients' relatives were just so ignorant that the doctors couldn't do anything about it.
They blamed the doctors, and claimed that they were being fooled when it wasn't really the case.
"Okay, I promise that you won't be responsible for it. Sir, please go with me to pay for the bill." The man
raised the bill he in his hand.
"I'll call the cashier. You can go pay for it yourself." Charles took out his phone and called the cashier.
When the call ended, he looked back at the man. "You can go now." "Okay, I'll pay for it now. But if
you're lying to me, I won't leave here."
"You'll know when you go there," Charles said coldly.
The man was still suspicious, but he left to pay at the cashier. If what Charles said wasn't real, he
would definitely make a scene.
As soon as the man walked away, Charles turned to Brandy. "I'm sorry for what happened to you."
"I'm a doctor, Charles. It's normal for me to encounter such things." A smile appeared on Brandy's face.
"Well, if you say so." Charles smiled back and looked up at his watch. "It's time for dinner. How about
having a meal with us?"
Being invited by Charles made Brandy excited. How could she say no?
"That's a good idea! Okay, let's have dinner together." On the other hand, Nancy felt a little awkward as
she listened to the two.
The surgery just ended several minutes ago, and besides, she wasn't feeling well today. So she
thought it was better to have dinner at home and sleep early.
However, it was inevitable for Charles to worry if she didn't agree.
It might make him think she was narrow-minded.
In fact, after knowing the past of Charles and Brandy, Nancy was relieved.
Seeing that he wasn't needed anymore in the current scene, Hobart said, "Mr. Fu, I'm leaving."
With a nod, Charles replied, "Thank you, Hobart. Bye." "Goodbye."
The two women also said goodbye to him before he walked away.
After Hobart left, Brandy looked at Charles and said, "I'm envious of your family being together. I'd
better not disturb your happy life. You can have dinner with your family. I will just go back to my
apartment."
"What's the matter? It's just a simple dinner. Besides, my wife and children will be there. Even if we get
photographed by the paparazzi, there won't be any misunderstanding like the last time!" There was a
hint of humor in Charles' voice when he said this.
"Am I right? Nancy?" Then he looked at Nancy with an unreadable expression. He wanted to see if
Nancy would say anything.
"Right. Actually, there was really no problem with what happened last time. The paparazzi just
exaggerated everything and made a big deal about it. They made false news, and the annoying part is
that the people believed in them!" No matter how awkward Nancy felt, she managed to speak.
A smile flashed through Charles' eyes after hearing what she had said.
"Yes, the paparazzi are hateful. They make a fuss about almost everything. Well, since it's hard to say
no, I will go with you," said Brandy.
"Of course. Let's go. I heard about a newly-opened restaurant where the food is good. My treat." When
Charles was about to walk towards the elevator, Nancy suddenly realized what she was wearing.
"I'm going to change my clothes. You go downstairs first." The commotion happened when she just
went back to her office, so she hadn't got a chance to get changed. Unlike Brandy, she was still
wearing her white gown.
"Okay, let's go downstairs first." Nodding his head, Charles turned to Brandy.
"I'll wait for Nancy. Charles, you go downstairs first." In the end, Charles went down alone, and the two
women walked towards Nancy's office.
The nurses began to gossip about Nancy and Brandy. "I think Director Nancy is more beautiful. She is
slender. She looks like an angel coming down from heaven with her white gown on."
"Oh, my God! Don't let Director Brandy hear it. If she hears it, she will cut your head."
"What? She will cut my head just for this? She is too narrow-minded."
"Forget it. Look at Director Brandy. She is waiting for Director Nancy now. She didn't go with downstairs
with Mr. Fu. Maybe she is afraid of causing unnecessary misunderstandings again. Don't accuse her
for nothing. She is nice."
"Humph, it's hard to say. There are so many things going on, but we don't really know the truth. We'd
better keep silent."
They continued to exchange gossips until Brandy and Nancy walked out again.
The two went downstairs and met Charles in front of the building.
Charles stood outside the car, waiting for them.
As soon as they came over, Charles opened the door of the passenger seat.
"Nancy, will you sit in the passenger seat or in the back seat with me?" Brandy asked politely.
"Well, I'll sit with you in the back seat." Whenever Brandy was around, Nancy always tried to keep a
distance from Charles.
No matter how many times Charles denied it, Nancy still had a vague feeling that Brandy had a crush
on him.
The way Brandy looked at him was different from others.
Every time she was near Charles, her eyes were sparkling with adoration. It was not hard to guess that
she was interested in him.
This made Nancy uncomfortable, but she didn't know what to say, so she just stayed silent.
Raising his eyebrows, Charles said, "I see. You two like each other very much." Then he went to the
other side of the car and sat in the driver's seat.
The two women sat in the back seat one after another. Somehow, Nancy felt obliged to answer so she
said, "Yes, we do."
"Yes, we are like sisters!" Brandy was smiling from ear to ear when she looked at Charles and then
back at Nancy.
The two of them talked about the scenery of the city on the way, and Charles joined their conversation
from time to time
It didn't take long until they arrived at the kindergarten.
At this time, there were also parents already waiting outside.
Most of them were shocked to see Charles, Nancy and Brandy appear at the same time.
"Look, his wife and mistress are here. What does this mean? Did Nancy compromise and accept her
husband's mistress?"
"Rich people nowadays are really confusing. Nancy is too generous for putting up with it."
"Don't talk nonsense. We are also women. How can we not know how it feels? This is intolerable! If my
man dares to cheat, I will cut his thing with a knife. Humph! There is no way I'd let him cheat on me."
These speculations stunned Nancy. She was amused and annoyed with the fact that there were people
who wasted their time minding others' businesses.
It seemed that their lives would be so dull if they didn't pay attention to others.
Didn't they have other pursuits?
"The kids are here." Unlike her, Charles was already immune with all these gossips. Nancy looked up
at him to see how he reacted, but he was only indifferent.
It was like he didn't care about what other people said at all.
It even seemed he didn't even hear anything.
The moment Bobby and Nadia saw the three of them, they rushed over.
"Mommy. Aunt Brandy is also here." Although Bobby and Nadia were smiling, it was obvious that they
were confused.
"Yes, your father invited her to have dinner with us. You are also happy, aren't you?" Afraid that the kids
would make trouble, Nancy tried to persuade them.
