Jake asked with a puzzled look, “Aren't you afraid that those people will come and cause trouble again?”
“What's there to be afraid of?” Faye replied calmly, tossing him a bold look.
In fact, she was trying to conceal her timidity, although she sounded as if she was not afraid of anything. After all, she was a woman.
Nevertheless, Jake was surprised at her statement.
Normally, the staff would have hidden away if they encountered such a situation, but this assistant was very brave about the whole thing.
Still, he said directly, “Let's go! I'll send you home!”
“I'm sorry! I haven't finished my work!” With that, she went upstairs.
Looking at the petite figure, Jake smiled unconsciously. I like her style, man!
Meanwhile, the corridor in the hospital was empty as everyone was resting. There was pindrop silence in the ward. Joan had already turned off the lights, lying on the bed with her eyes closed. She looked haggard. On the other hand, Larry was busy working overtime in the office.
Squeak! Suddenly, the door of the ward opened.
Immediately, Joan turned around and cracked her eyes, looking at the person approaching her slowly.
Who's that? Could it be Larry? The glaring light blurred her vision, so she blocked it with her
hand.
“Joan!” That man called her.
This is not Larry's voice!
He then continued, “Are you alright?”
Finally, Joan saw his face and shouted, “Hey, Dustin! Stop playing around! Are you trying to scare me?”
