Rick's words were full of concern, and Nancy found it hard to refuse.
"I'll think about it, okay?" Nancy asked.
She still needed time to think about it.
"No, Nancy. I know many hospitals are fighting for you now, so I have to get you first. You have to
agree!" It was surprising to hear Rick speak in a domineering tone.
Nancy didn't know that he had the tendency to be bossy too.
"I..." To be honest, Nancy really didn't know what to say. She didn't like to rush things, but she also
didn't like to disappoint him.
"What? Don't you need to work? No, Nancy, I know you too well. You can't live without work, and I'm
more than willing to hire you. Do you still want to refuse?"
With a helpless smile, Nancy said, "Rick, you are being unreasonable."
"How can I take you over if I am reasonable?" It was only then that Rick remembered the flowers he
was holding. "These are for you."
"Thank you." Although she felt a little hesitant, Nancy had no choice but to take the flowers.
"Since you've accepted my flowers, you have to work in my hospital. I'll take your luggage with me.
Don't worry. Our hospital also provides accommodation for our employees. It is more spacious and
comfortable than here." Without waiting for her reply, Rick took her luggage near the bed.
"Rick, aren't you a bit excited? Look at me." Since she just woke up, she was still in her pajamas. She
didn't even get the chance to wash her face or brush her teeth.
"Well, I'll take your luggage out. Go get changed. I'll wait for you outside." Then he walked out with her
luggage.
What else could she say? It seemed like she didn't have a choice to say no.
In the end, she took a quick bath and get dressed.
The moment Nancy stepped out of the hotel room, Rick straightened his back.
"Nancy, you are so beautiful!" His eyes were full of admiration as he stared at Nancy who was wearing
a purple wool dress, a black cashmere overcoat paired with black boots. She looked stunning and
elegant.
"I didn't know you can be this sweet." Seeing the look on his face, Nancy couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"Well, you really don't know me yet, Nancy. I've always been sweet. You'll know in the future. Let's go."
Like a gentleman, Rick let her walk first and then he followed, carrying her luggage.
The two of them didn't go straight to Rick's hospital. He took her first to a newly-opened Chinese
restaurant, which sold the best pie he had ever tried.
"The snacks here are famous. Would you like to give them a try?" Although Rick had already stopped
the car in front of the restaurant, he still asked for Nancy's opinion. If she didn't like it here, they could
go somewhere else.
"I'm not picky when it comes to breakfast. Anything is okay." Nancy gave him a small smile.
Most of the time, the doctors could barely eat a proper meal. Their job demanded so much time. Even
when they had estimated the length of the operation, it was not always accurate.
Therefore, it made Nancy neglect her meals.
"If you say so, I will be very disappointed, Nancy." Pretending to be sad, Rick slightly pouted his lips.
"Well, it's just breakfast. I'm not so picky about it. Let's go." To prove that she didn't mind eating in this
restaurant, Nancy got out of the car first.
Shaking his head, Rick followed. As soon as he stood beside Nancy, he smiled and held her arm.
"Rick, people might misunderstand what you're doing." Nancy tried to pull her arm away, but he didn't
let her go.
Afraid of attracting other people's attention, Nancy gave up struggling and just lowered her head.
"Nancy, you are a free person now. Don't be so reserved, okay? You and Charles are not married.
What are you afraid of?" Rick asked in a low voice.
These words made Nancy angry. "Rick, the only reason why I will go to your hospital is to work. If you
continue to talk nonsense, I will leave."
In a hurry, Rick let go of her. "I was just kidding. What? Do you take it seriously?"
"No."
"Good morning, what would you like to eat?" Their conversation was interrupted by the waiter who had
a smile on his face.
"Four pies, two bowls of congee, and four chicken rolls." It was Nancy's first time to eat here, so she
just let Rick ordered for them.
What she didn't know was, there were people who saw them together.
"Joseph, isn't that Nancy?" On their way to the Civil Affairs Bureau, Daisy and Joseph happened to see
Nancy entering the restaurant with Rick.
From a distance, Rick's gesture made it look like they were a couple.
"Yes. But I don't understand. Doesn't Charles care if Nancy goes out with Rick?"
"Maybe he doesn't know." Speaking of this, Daisy shook her head. "Nancy is not a casual girl. I guess
there must be some reason.
Maybe I should get out of the car and ask her." Daisy was quite familiar with Nancy now, so she was
about to get out and ask her.
When she was about to open the door, Joseph hurriedly grabbed her arm. "No, don't. We don't know
what's going on yet. It's not good to disturb them."
"Then what should we do?" To be honest, Daisy didn't like seeing Nancy with another man, because
she wanted her to end up with Charles.
"I'll call Charles and ask him first. I can't let Rick go so easily." Recently, Joseph and Daisy's
relationship had improved. That was why he was always in high spirits.
It wasn't Daisy's plan to remarry him so soon.
But yesterday, while they were having lunch, she vomited. Joseph joked, "Daisy, are you pregnant?"
"We always use contraceptives. How can I get pregnant?"
"Then why did you vomit? Did you eat expired food? That's impossible, because the vegetables and
rice were fresh. Besides, I ate them too, but it is only you who are vomiting. Tell me, what does it
mean?"
"I don't know." Daisy stood up and wiped her mouth.
With a worried look, Joseph reached the medicine kit. "Have a look. What kind of medicine is suitable
for you to take?"
His eyes fell on the medicine for an upset stomach. "This one should do."
"Okay."
However, when she was about to put two pills in her mouth, Joseph suddenly stopped her. "Daisy, if
you are really pregnant with my baby, won't the baby get hurt by the pills?"
"Pregnant? How could it be possible?" There was a hint of disbelief in Daisy's voice.
Even so, Joseph took the pills from her hand. "Don't take them. Wait for me. I'll just go downstairs to
buy something."
"What are you going to buy?" Without replying to her, Joseph quickly went out to buy a pregnancy test
kit from the pharmacy. A part of him believed that she was pregnant, but he had to make sure.
As soon as he came back, he urged Daisy to go to the bathroom and have a test, while he waited
outside eagerly.
His eyes were full of excitement, as if he was expecting something good to happen.
The moment Daisy saw two red lines on the stick she was holding, she almost dropped it. She was
indeed pregnant.
But she was not ready to have a baby yet. How could she be pregnant like this?
For a moment, Daisy stared blankly at the stick. She didn't know whether she should be delighted or
overwhelmed.
