"That's great then." Nita smiled. She looked at Fade and said, "Fade, I'll keep my word. Just tell me if you need my help, I'll do my best."
Fade smiled graciously at her promise and said, "Alright, I'll keep that in mind."
Just as they were chatting, Nita's phone rang. She answered the phone in front of Fade. "Mary, what's the matter?"
Over the phone, Nita could hear Mary panicking. "Matthew Browning just arrived at the hospital and he said that he's here to visit your mother."
"What?" Nita was not pleased to hear about it. She continued, "He's so annoying. I've said that I'm not interested in him, but he is still so persistent. Mary, just make him go away."
In a somewhat anxious tone, Mary said, "Nita, I've already tried my best to shoo him away, but he's not leaving. What's worse is that he brought along a doctor saying that he could cure Mrs. An's illness."
"What? How could he do something like that?" Nita was so anxious that she stood up. Hurriedly, she added, "Mary, don't let him lay a finger on my mother."
"I'm trying my best to hold them off, but Matthew is being very persistent. He is currently at the entrance of the ward and he refuses to leave."
"I'll be right there. Mary, please keep holding him off, and don't let him mess around," Nita said in a hurry.
"Okay, I'll try my best."
After hanging up the phone, Nita turned to Fade apologetically and said, "Fade, I'm sorry. There are some complications at the hospital and I have to go see my mother now."
"Did her disease relapse?" Fade asked with concern, "I'll go with you and have a look."
Nita paused for a moment, then nodded and said to Fade, "Fade, thank you so much."
Immediately, the two of them settled the bill and headed out. They got in the car and headed to the hospital.
In the car, Fade asked, "Nita, what happened?"
Nita sighed, seemingly agitated, "His name is Matthew Browning, and he's from Earlington. He's one of my fans and he's been hitting on me for some time now. I refused him many times, but I didn't expect him to follow me to Jade City."
"I don't know how he heard about my mother's illness, but he brought a doctor to the hospital and said he wants to cure my mother," Nita said
Hearing this, Fade was dumbfounded. "Why do people like this even exist?"
Nita sighed and said, "Matthew's family is a major shareholder of one of Earlington's biggest cosmetic companies, the Milano Company. He also holds a considerably high position within the company. Moreover, his grandfather has a title conferred to him by the Earlington Queen, and his family is filthy rich. It comes as no surprise that he's been spoiled since young. He always got what he wanted and will never take no for an answer."
Fade frowned upon hearing this. He really couldn't put himself in their shoes.
The two of them continued their conversation until they arrived at the hospital.
