The Adorable Twin’s Sticky Daddy novel Chapter 129

Jessie's blush seared through her cheeks and for a minute she thought her face was on fire. don't like common men!" she stuttered while defending herself.

"I doubt that! There will always be someone destined for you!" Nancy teasingly added, which only emphasized the reddening of her workmate’s cheeks.

The latter was now ever more awkward and coy, lightly patting her face to hide the rosiness of her cheeks. "You have an operation this morning, Dr. Nancy. You should get ready."

With those words, Jessie hurried away out of sheer embarrassment.

After she left, a nurse came over the office.

"Dr. Nancy, a patient came yesterday. She is waiting for you to check on her."

"Which ward?"

"No. 32."

"Alright. I'll make the rounds in the wards later!"

After saying that, she put on the white gown, and headed for the ward.

In one of the beds lay a girl whose pair of eyes glinted slight pain.

After checking her vitals, Nancy learned that the patient wasn't severely injured.

"Does it hurt?" she asked, pressing her stomach lightly.

The little girl shook her head and muttered, "No!"

"Don't listen to her. She is in so much pain that she can't even jump. She’s just afraid of getting surgery and that's why she's pretending!" A tall and handsome man walked in while furiously spitting those words.

Turning around to see who it was, Nancy was a little surprised. The man, who now stood with his arms crossed against his chest, seemed quite familiar.

"Jerome Liao?" she uttered a name, hoping that her hunch was right.

"Nancy Ning?" the man asked in return, also sporting a look of recognition. Then, he laughed and exclaimed, "It's really you! I can't believe it!"

"Yeah! It's been a while since we last saw each other!" This time, a wide smile broke into Nancy's lips. She was right! She really knew this man.

"Yeah! I didn't expect you to be a doctor now. I remember you being so timid when you were a child," complimented Jerome Liao while wearing a sly smile.

"Yeah! But you? What have you been up to lately?"

"I'm a college instructor on language," he simply answered, still plastering a polite smile.

"Well, good! I remember you used to like writing poems and novels. So that was expected." Nancy recalled how he was also a famous literary young man in their school, writing numerous love letters for his classmates.

"Well...you can say that." Jerome Liao shrugged and then broke into a light laughter.

"Is this your daughter? How old is she?" Nancy asked, pointing at the young girl while taking note of her current state.

"She is my sister's daughter. I'm not married yet!" Jerome Liao laughed again, surprised at Nancy's assumption.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Slightly embarrassed of what she said, Nancy flashed a shy smile.

"Don't mention it. We're old classmates."

This man didn't change a bit. He was still optimistic as before, someone who'd always brighten up the mood whenever he was in the room.

"Well, I can operate on her this morning. Don't worry. It's not gonna be a complicated surgery." Nancy closed the folder in her hand and handed it to the nurse beside her.

"Alright. Please take care of my nephew."

"No problem. It's my duty."

After saying that, Nancy bid her goodbye before heading to the other wards to complete her rounds.

Then, she had the nurse prepare the operating room.

It was a simple surgery for her, something that she had done couple of times already.

So in less than an hour, she was able to finish it without any complications.

And that was how her morning went by, much as how she wanted it—busy and occupied.

When the clock hit the lunch hour, she was surprised to see Jerome Liao come over.

"Why do you go to the canteen alone? Is there no one to accompany you?”

"You are still as garrulous as you were in school," Nancy teased, nudging his side with her elbow.

To this he merely smiled and said, "I didn't really change, you know. Come on! Let's go to a restaurant. It's my treat!" "Thank you, but I have to go to work in the afternoon," she refused politely, thinking about her schedule.

"We're not gonna drink. We'll just have a meal near the hospital. Don't worry. It won't take up your work. Come on!" Without giving her time to reply, Jerome Liao snatched the lunchbox from Nancy's hand and dragged her to the elevator.

Left with no choice, Nancy could only follow him.

And true to his word, they really went to a restaurant couple of blocks away from the hospital.

It was a quiet place, and if she were to describe it more, it was even intimate.

In fact, Nancy thought it was a perfect place for young people to date.

The soft jazz music in the background, coupled with the light ambiance of the place only confirmed her speculations.

Taking the lead, Nancy found a quiet place in the corner and sat down.

"Just order a few dishes," she whispered while making herself comfortable.

"I'm not much of an eater,"

she continued as she put her hands on her jaw and looked at him with a smile.
