Chapter 67 I Don''t Want To Be Just The Lover Of A Rich Man


    "I''ve called your supervisor and informed him. He wants you to rest well. He also feels that you


    shouldn''t go back to work until you''ve fully recovered," Nathan said gently. An involuntary smile crept


    across his lips that he was oblivious to.


    "Supervisor? Which supervisor?" Mandy''s big eyes blinked in confusion.


    "Tyler." Nathan shrugged casually.


    Mandy''s cheeks grew hot in embarrassment. She was staring at Nathan, trying to digest his words.


    Mandy felt that Nathan had no intention of cleaning up her mess.


    "What did you tell him?" Mandy asked nervously.


    "It''s a secret." Nathan was grinning at her.


    Mandy''s face grew smaller. She wondered if Nathan had told the hospital director about their


    rtionship. If Nathan had made their rtionship clear to them, then she would be humiliated at the


    hospital.


    "What''s wrong with you? You seem unhappy," Nathan joked as his face broke into a lopsided grin.


    "Do you think I can be happy now?" Mandy asked. She looked sad. Shey on her back on the bed


    and was staring up at the ceiling. Her eyes had lost their twinkle.


    "Why are you upset? Do you want our rtionship to be a secret?" Nathan knitted his brows in


    confusion and mocked at her.


    "No, I''m not upset. It''s just that I don''t want others to think that I''m dependent on you for everything,"


    Mandy said, shaking her head vigorously.


    Mandy was appointed to the hospital for two reasons. One being her privacy, and the other was


    because she was assigned to the hospital as soon as she was back after finishing her studies abroad.


    If anyone found out about her rtionship with Nathan, they would think that she hadnded in the job


    at JR hospital only because of him. She didn''t want that. Mandy was young, and many doctors disliked


    her. She didn''t want her rtionship to disrupt her peace at the hospital.


    "You''re my girl. I don''t want you to work so hard. Why don''t you quit the job and rest? I can see that it''s


    taking a toll on you." Nathan gently touched Mandy''s soft face with his warm hands. As the warmth


    spread all over her cheeks, Mandy realized that the temperature of their rtionship had risen again,


    which she had tried very hard to restrain.


    "I love my job, and I''m not interested in anything else. Most importantly, I don''t like to remain idle, and I


    don''t want to be just the lover of a rich man!" Mandy said sternly.


    "You don''t want to be just the lover of a rich man? Am I the rich man?" Nathan narrowed his eyes


    usingly. He looked dangerous.


    Looking at his bloodthirsty face, Mandy swallowed and mumbled, "I didn''t mean that. I just don''t want to


    be a burden to you."


    Nathan was aware that Mandy was not good with words. But when he understood what she meant, he


    grinned because he knew what she was worried about.


    "Do you really have no interest in other things apart from being a doctor?" Nathan had an evil grin as


    the words came out of his mouth like sharp des that were meant to pierce Mandy. His deep eyes


    looked like it was brewing up a storm.

    Mandy didn''t understand what he meant. She felt that his words referred to something else that she


    couldn''tprehend. She shook her head in embarrassment.


    "I met you in the bar the other day, and I saw you ying the piano. You were really good." Nathan


    sneered. His sharp eyes bubbling with curiosity.


    Mandy didn''t expect Nathan to ask this question. She was helpless and lowered her head. She didn''t


    want to say anything.


    "I don''t like ying the piano," Mandy said, shutting her eyes. She was exhausted.


    The memories of those days shed in her eyes. Her breathing had faltered, and everything seemed


    like a dream. She remembered her bloodstained hands and how painful it was. She could never forget


    it.


    "You say you don''t like ying the piano. Can a woman who has absolutely no interest in ying the


    piano win the golden prize of Midsummer Night''s Dream?" Nathan said, hitting the nail on the head.


    Mandy thought he was contemting something.


    The Midsummer Night''s Dream was a pianopetition that was held during the peak of summer, and


    it was held once in five years. Mandy had been the winner of thest pianopetition. Although the


    competition was held during the middle of summer, thousands of people took part in it every time. The


    contestants were usually young people who loved music and also experienced pianists. Mandy had


    stood out from all the previouspetitors and had taken the entertainment industry by storm.


    However, Mandy had left the entertainment circle in less than a year. Since then, Mandy wished to


    remain invisible. She had refused to ept interviews and had even gotten rid of her piano.


    Eventually, Mandy reced her love for music with medicine. She hadn''t told anyone why she wanted


    to be a doctor. But the truth was that music would always be her first love, and nothing could rece it.


    Her long eyshes were still wet. She remembered the time she stood on the golden stage of the


    Golden Hall in Vienna. She was ying "Canon in D-major," which wasn''t a difficult number. But she


    had changed the melody of it and yed the song in her style. Her love for music was evident when


    she yed it with such passion and ease.


    Many people were touched and almost in tears during her performance. The judges unanimously gave


    her full marks. Mandy had started to learn piano at the age of three and had mastered all the skills at a


    very quick pace. However, while music was difficult to learn–connecting with the soul of music was the


    hardest thing about it. She was so passionate about music that a month before thepetition, she


    had shut herself in her room to practice the piano every day. She had done nothing other than y the


    piano. Daniel couldn''t see her torment herself and took her for a walk at the yground.


    Inspired by her carefree high school life and her favorite novel "Gone with the Wind," Mandy had


    composed the entire tune.


    Mandy was a sophomore in high school when she had won thepetition. Now that five years had


    passed, it was time for the next Midsummer Night''s Dream pianopetition to take ce. The very


    thought of it made Mandyughed at herself. However, thepetition had nothing to do with her


    anymore.


    Time was the best healer of all sorrows. Mandy vaguely remembered being weed by her fans and


    reporters at the airport, on her way back home. Although Mandy had never been on any TV shows


    before, she had be an overnight sensation. Mandy wasn''t prepared for it. She had wanted to


    study and live her life in peace.


    Now, no one remembered that she was the one who had won the golden prize of the Midsummer


    Night''s Dream, except her parents.


    And at that moment Mandy was taken aback by Nathan''s words. She looked sad and dejected, as if


    her heart was blocked by a thick fog. How much did he know about her past?


    Mandy wasn''t ready to expose her vulnerability in front of Nathan. She would always hide her scars


    and keep it safe from everyone.


    "Oh, it was just my luck," Mandy answered with a fake smile, hiding her sorrow.
