My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 283

Holley didn't reply back. She tore up the dosage list, tossed it into the trash bin, printed another copy and handed it to the head nurse. She kept silent the entire time and had an expressionless face.

"Don't be so cocky! You arrogant woman!"

the head nurse whispered to herself after leaving the office. She then handed the new prescription to another nurse.

Holley turned away and involuntarily bit her lips once more.

She could have pretended like nothing happened even with Rachel's attitude towards her.

She told herself that only the two of them knew about what really happened.

But Holley found it impossible to calm herself down as she imagined the letter taped to her door.

Meanwhile, Rachel got out of the car and watched as Jack got out too. "You don't have to get out of the car. I can get inside by myself," she said.

Jack smiled. "I want to accompany you to your office."

Rachel looked at him in the eye and said, "But you know, you don't need to do that."

But she instinctively placed her hand on Jack's open palm when he reached out for her.

After Jack accompanied her inside, she paused and watched him leave. She then turned to take her gown on a hanger. She was slightly surprised to see that Holley stood in front of her.

"Rachel, can I have a word with you?" Holley wanted to talk to Rachel and find out whether she was merely pretending that she knew nothing.

Rachel put on her gown in a fluid motion. She then turned to Holley briefly. "Now is the time to be on duty," she said flatly.

The way she said her words clearly implied that it was not a convenient time for her to talk.

There was a sudden feeling of keen disgust towards Holley that overcame Rachel. It was so strong that she didn't even want to look at her.

"It's just a few minutes, and it's just a few words," Holley insisted. Her face started to look agitated as she spoke.

It was her initial plan to invite Rachel to a coffee shop to talk. If Rachel had any hidden intention at revenge, Holley preferred to kneel and beg for her mercy rather than make everything a public matter.

Otherwise, everything that she had now would be all for naught.

But she never expected the turn of events in front of her. Rachel wasn't even interested to give her a chance at redemption.

Rachel felt appalled with Holley's invitation. She took a deep breath and turned to Holley briefly. "I have patients that I need to see right away," she replied calmly.

She then left without looking back, and without giving Holley a chance to speak.

And this made Holley feel even more anxious.

Because of this, Holley was not in the mood to work. So she decided to just take a day off. She wandered the streets and saw two middle-aged women walking in front of her. They whispered to each other as they walked.

"Young people nowadays are really losing their way. A man is meant to be with a woman and a woman is meant to be with a man. Two girls should not develop a relationship with each other!

"That's right. Fortunately, my daughter married early. Otherwise, I'd be really worried about her because of the kind of community that she lives in." Holley's heartbeat went faster, as she turned sharply. Instinctively, she followed the two women.

'Am I the one that they're talking about?' Holley wondered.

Two security guards who were doing their rounds saw her and they called out to her. "Dr. Ye! Where are you going?"

"I was about to go home. I took a day off," Holley answered with an embarrassed look.

"Oh, but you're on your way out."

During the next couple of days, Holley felt she could heard people talk about her wherever she went.

The dark circles beneath her eyes became more obvious as time wore on. She looked like she had lost her enthusiasm.

She'd always get medical records mixed up, and she prescribed the wrong medicines for patients at the hospital.

"Holley, what happened to you these past two days?" The director of the children's ward had received more than one complaint from patients regarding Holley's errors. He had no choice but to call Holley's attention regarding these reports.

Holley lowered her head in embarrassment as she apologized. "I'm so sorry. I'll be careful next time." But her apology was not sincere at all. She yawned widely as soon as she finished her mock apology.

This made the director angrier with her. He pounded the table and roared at her, "As a doctor, you should never make such stupid mistakes!

You don't have chance to be promoted to the vice director this year!"

At the exact same time, Rachel came out of another director's office. She was informed that she would have a training for the next five days and four nights.

The training was like a vacation for a doctor. A break from their daily duties.

However, Rachel was not interested in the training. She refused the offer without hesitation.

She then paused for a moment as she was thinking. She turned to one direction and saw Holley standing and staring fiercely at her.

It was a stare that came from two eyes that were filled with hatred.

Without warning, Holley grabbed Rachel's arm and dragged her into an empty lounge nearby without saying anything.

Before Rachel could do anything, Holley locked the door behind them. Holley's actions made her feel odd and a hint of fear started to creep at her heart.

"Rachel, be straightforward with me. What on earth do you want me to do?" Holley asked as she ground her teeth. She stared intensely at Rachel with eyes that were as cold as ice.

"I have no idea what you are talking about," Rachel said in her usual voice. Her face looked confused.

"You don't know?" Holley burst into a roaring laughter immediately after she heard Rachel's words. She then stared straight into Rachel's eyes after she laughed. "Yes, I did that! But here you are, safe and sound. And you even became a vice director. You should thank me instead of spreading my private life."

She gripped Rachel's arm tightly and became more emotional as she spoke.
