"What's wrong? I'm Nancy. Don't you remember?" At this moment, Nancy already had a hunch that there was something wrong with Nana. She thought she was having a relapse. After all, it would take some time for her to fully recover.
When Nancy tried to hold her hand, Nana pulled it away in fear. "I don't know you. Please, let me go. Let me go!"
"You don't know me? I'm Nancy." Nancy tried to make her remember, but Nana begged,
"I don't know anyone now. Please, get out, get out..." Out of fear, Nana burst into tears. "Help, bad guys are coming. She wants to kill me. I'm so scared!"
A nurse rushed in as soon as she heard Nana's screams.
"Oh, Nana. She is a pediatrician of our hospital. Look, she is Nancy, your friend. How can she be a bad person?" the nurse explained patiently.
However, it was not enough to make Nana feel better. She shook her head frequently. "I don't know Nancy. I never had a friend, and I don't need one. Please take her away. The farther, the better!"
All of a sudden, Nana grabbed her own hair and screamed.
Pain was evident in her voice that the people who heard it trembled in fear.
Seeing her panicked made Nancy's heart ache. "Well, Nana, I'm leaving now. Don't be afraid."
Since Nana was irritated by her presence, Nancy chose to leave her alone for now.
As soon as she walked out of the room with the nurse, she asked, "When did Nana become like this?"
"Last night, she was a little strange, which confused us. We thought she might get better slowly, but this morning, her condition got even worse." The nurse couldn't help but feel helpless. After all, they were really expecting for a progress in Nana's condition.
"Did you give her medicine on time?"
This was what Nancy worried the most. Because if Nana didn't take the medicine on time and Nana's condition would repeat, it would affect her recovery.
"We have given her medicine on time. Look, the medicine is here. She takes two pills every day. To avoid making a mistake, we have counted the pills. We know how many days this bottle of medicine would last, so how can we make a mistake?" The nurse took out Nana's bottle of medicine and poured out the pills to count them. "We are right, Director Nancy."
It was not Nancy’s intention to blame the nurse, so she said apologetically, "Well, it's not that I don't believe you. It's just that, Nana's condition is different from that of the patients in our hospital, so we have to pay attention to her all the time. We can't be negligent."
The nurse put away the pills and looked at her confidently. "I know, Director Nancy. Don't worry. We won't make a mistake."
Even though the nurse said so, Nancy still couldn't be at ease. She really felt that Nana's condition got worse today.
As much as she wanted to call Rick, she thought she might need to observe Nana first for a few days. She couldn't be too anxious.
Her mind was busy thinking about Nana’s mental illness when she made rounds in other rooms.
In the afternoon, she only performed a minor operation, so Nancy didn't feel tired at all.
After work, she stayed in the office for a while, thinking that Charles would be the one to pick up the children today.
The children hadn't decided yet, and she couldn't go back to Charles' house anymore, so she would go to her apartment alone.
Soon, she drove to the apartment, with her mind full of thoughts.
Sure enough, Charles picked up the children after work.
Afraid that Nancy would really leave him, Charles thought he had to keep the children by his side. After all, the children were bound to Nancy, so she wouldn't be able to fly far.
An hour had already passed since he picked up the children, but Nancy still hadn't come home.
Where did she go?
The kidnapping that happened before still frightened Charles until now. That was why he was restless now that Nancy wasn't at home.
Needless to say, Charles was afraid that something bad would happen to her again.
When he couldn't take the anxiety anymore, Charles called her.
