What Erin said shocked Nancy.
What happened between her and Rick?
"What photos? Erin, I don't understand what you're saying." Confusion was written all over Nancy's face. Why did other people know something about her that she didn’t?
"I can tell from your expression that you know nothing about what happened. Look at this." The next second, Nancy was already holding Erin's phone.
Pointing at Rick's face, Erin commented, "You two look good together, but I think you and Mr. Fu are a perfect match. Rick's eyebrows are so thin, as well as his lips. His lips are definitely not as sexy as Mr. Fu's. Why do you like such a boring man?"
"Erin, stop! I swear nothing's going on between me and Rick. I don't like him either..." Nancy smacked her lips and added, "I have nothing to do with Rick. I have told Charles about this. This photo... Who took this photo? That person is so immoral!"
People's presumptions made Nancy upset. She didn't know what was wrong with them nowadays. How could they say that she fell in love with a man just because she had a meal with him?
Did it mean that she could only be with women all her life, unless the man was Charles?
What was this? This didn't make any sense. Had she lost her freedom to choose who she wanted to hang out with?
"But from the photo, you are hugging each other. No matter what kind of relationship you have, everyone only believes what they see with their own eyes. Director Nancy, look, this is Rick's hand and this is your hand. This is Rick's eyes, and this is yours. No matter who sees this photo, you two look like a pair of lovers hugging and staring at each other affectionately. If Mr. Fu sees it, he would be jealous..."
"Then let him be jealous. I don't think there is a future for us, anyway." There was no hint of emotion in her voice as she said these words. It seemed like she had completely given up on her relationship with Charles.
"What? Director Nancy, do you know what you are talking about? Charles, No, Mr. Fu is the father of Nadia and Bobby. Besides, he is a renowned person in this city. A lot of women want to marry him, but here you are, saying those words like it isn't a big deal. I can see that Mr. Fu loves you so much. How can you not love him? I think there is no woman in the world who doesn't love a man like him."
"Well, you can go to work now. Let's stop talking about this. I still need to look onto the patients' conditions in recent days." The more she heard Charles' name, the more her head ached. She guessed Charles had already seen the pictures, but she thought he was so calm that he didn't even call her. Was he not bothered at all?
'Forget it. Now the two of us hate each other. If he doesn't want to call me, then so be it.'
Apparently, Erin had a different thought than her so she said, "Director Nancy, I think you should call Mr. Fu to explain."
In her heart, Charles and Nancy were the best couple in the world, so she really didn't want them to break up.
With a forced smile, Nancy replied, "Thank you. I’ll think about it." Although Erin still wanted to say something, she just quietly left the room.
As soon as Erin left the room, Nancy rested her head on her hands and thought for a while. She was debating whether to call Charles or not.
Finally, she had decided to give Charles a phone call to explain her relationship with Rick. Besides, she also needed to ask about Nadia.
After several attempts, Nancy still didn't get through Charles' phone.
In the end, Nancy just called the director of the gastroenterology department to ask if Charles took Nadia home.
It was the most important thing for her, so she finally felt relieved when the director confirmed it. Therefore, she ignored the gossip on the internet and focused on her work.
Her initial plan was to get off work early to come home and see Nadia.
However, as soon as she walked out of the office, a nurse called and said that Nana had woken up.
Without thinking too much, Nancy hurried to Nana's room.
True enough, she found Nana awake when she came into her room. Her face was still pale, as well as her lips, but her eyes were brighter than before.
Seeing her awake and calm made Nancy excited. Maybe one of these days, she would get better. And once she got better, everything would be clear.
"Nana, this is Nancy."
"Okay, Nancy." Unlike in the past few days, Nana was calm when she called Nancy's name. She wasn't violent.
With a smile, Nancy took out the medicine and said, "Nana, you're sick. Can you take the medicine?"
