Chapter 10 Eavesdropping


    It was an ordinary day at the JR Hospital.


    At 2 P.M., patients and medical staff scurried around, doing their own things. The sound of an


    ambnce was making noise outside, probably rushing up to the emergency room.


    Mandy had justpleted a cardiac surgery. She was about to change clothes in the dressing room


    when Jayleen Wen came in and greeted her. She had assisted Mandy with the surgery.


    Jayleen was in her forties and was the head nurse of the Cardiology Department of JR Hospital.


    "Congrattions Mandy! The surgery is another great sess," Jayleen said with enthusiasm. She


    shed a warm and genuine smile, apparently proud of the aplishment.


    "Thank you, Jayleen. The sess was due to our excellent teamwork. Your contribution helped a lot,"


    Mandy replied.


    Mandy stretched her neck from one side to another. The operation, whichsted for six long hours, did


    not allow her to eat her lunch; hence, it had depleted her energy. She was exhausted and starving.


    "Mandy, you are such a great asset to our hospital. You are a natural. You have only been here for two


    months, but your clinical skills have almost caught up with Harry Li." Jayleen pressed Mandy''s hand


    and whispered, "They say that the director had a word with Harry yesterday and said that he would


    promote you next month." Jayleen''s dness was filled with hope for her. She believed that Mandy


    deserved such recognition.


    Mandy smiled softly.


    Harry Li was the head of the Cardiology Department. He was a well-known and highly respected


    cardiac surgeon in the city. Probably the best there was. When Mandy joined the team soon after


    graduating from the British university, Harry had been a little unweing to her. Mandy noticed his


    dislike to her because her presence imposed a silent threat to his career. That was why he assigned all


    high-risk and difficult surgeries to her. Mandy took every challenge and turned it to her advantage as a


    great way to hone her skills.


    "Well, if ites with higher pay, I''ll definitely invite you to dinner," Mandy demurely replied trying to


    hide her own excitement.


    Since she joined the hospital, Jayleen had been guiding her. She had made Mandy''s adjustment period


    easier by assisting her whenever she needed help. They had developed a good friendship, and Mandy


    was naturally grateful to her. Although Mandy had apetitive skill, it was not easy to survive in the


    hospital, especially for a newbie due to established connections and rtionships among colleagues.


    "That''s a deal," Jayleen said coyly.


    "Yes, we have a deal," Mandy reassured while putting on her white coat. After leaving the dressing


    room, Mandy went back to the 24th floor of the Inpatient Department during her lunch break. With a


    heavy face and boggled mind, Mandy walked to the empty corridor.


    It was dim and silent. Only a glint of light from the windows of private rooms brightened the rather


    gloomy pathway. Whenever she was troubled, she preferred to be alone and reflect in a quiet ce.


    Mandy was very anxious about what had happened to her family. Her life was in turmoil with all the


    mixed emotions she was carrying. She was sad, angry, aggrieved, worried, and frustrated. In the past


    22 years, she had been the apple of her parents'' eyes. She was used to having all the affection of the


    people she loved. What happened yesterday dramatically changed her life. It was her first time to lose


    someone she loved so much. She could not believe that her first boyfriend could betray her. Mandy


    loved Daniel very much, but all her love turned to hatred overnight. While reminiscing about their good


    times together, she cried with bittersweet thoughts. With a good sleepst night, and her feet back on


    the job she loved, the dust had settled down. She was determined not to sumb to her unfortunate


    fate. She wouldn''t ept defeat.


    Mandy was leaning against the wall, thinking deeply about how to deal with her current circumstance.


    Her optimistic thoughts were put to a halt when she heard voices. Alone there in the silence, Mandy


    was pulled back to reality as her attention was stolen by two men who were seriously chatting.


    "Boss, I think we have a good opportunity now that Luke Shi is in hospital," Fred Zou huskily whispered


    to Nathan.

    Nathan pulled the cigarette from his mouth by neatly stacking it between his fingers. His icy cold eyes


    swept across the floor.


    In the dim light, his beautiful thin lips opened lightly andmanded in a stern voice, "Kill him.


    Remember, do it discreetly and make it appear like a medical ident."


    "Boss, don''t you think that is too cruel?" Fred asked in hesitation. "He is your uncle!" He tried his best


    to deliver the words calmly. Confusion and hesitation were evident in Fred''s face. If he really killed


    Luke, Mrs. Jin would go insane.


    Without looking at him, Nathan coldly replied, "He has stolen a lot of money from JS International. He


    deserves it. Can you me me for thinking of him this way?" He released a deep sigh as if he had


    made up his mind and gave Fred a cynical smile.
