Chapter 84 Did You Cry
At JS International
Damian knocked on the door of the CEO''s office.
"Come in, please!" Nathan''s solemn voice rang from inside.
"Why so serious, Nathan?" As Damian came into the office, hefortably looked at Nathan as if he
was a lifelong friend.
"In the office, call me Mr. Jin." Nathan didn''t even raise his head, but he did frown at the tone Damian
was using. From the looks of it, he was up to something.
"Okay then, Mr. Jin. Invite me to sit?" Damian said jokingly.
Nathan immediately stopped what he was doing and stood up. As much as he wanted to ignore his
cousin, he knew that his cousin had his own agenda hidden up his sleeve. He walked over to the sofa.
Damian sat down across from him, looking like a puppy who had just won the race. Nathan smiled
coldly. Damian had always loved topete with him ever since they were kids, but it was to no avail.
He wouldn''t win.
"I came here today to talk with you about some personal affairs," Damian said with a wide smile.
"If that''s the case, it''s work hours. I don''t have time for you," Nathan sneered in disgust. He had always
hated Damian''s poking into his personal life. He was just like Luke.
"My dear cousin, you''re so cold. No wonder your woman''s crying on the streets." Damian choked back
augh, leaning into his seat. There was a wicked glint in his eyes, one that he always had whenever
he had the upper hand against his cousin.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Nathan growled out, ears perking up at the mention of a
woman.
"I went out just now and saw her standing on the sidewalk crying. She was almost hit by a car if it
weren''t for me." He crossed his legs leisurely, but there was a sneer written all over his face. He
nced Nathan up and down, unimpressed by his reaction.
"I have a lot of women. Do specify," Nathan drawled out, but on the inside, he was already trying to
keep his anger at bay. There was no way his cousin would pull one over him.
His thoughts fluttered towards Mandy. Was she okay? Why was she crying?
"Really? If Dr. Zhou heard this, she''d be deeply disappointed!" Damian cackled out, the arrogance
never waning from his voice.
Nathan stood up from his jeers, scowling at him. He was affected. At the thought, Damian couldn''t help
but grin wickedly.
"If you hang out during working hours, your performance assessment will be deducted for three
months," Nathan said without any emotions. He returned back to his desk as if his robotic self finally
switched back on.
Damian shrugged indifferently. It wasn''t as if he needed to money anyway.
However, as much as Nathan tried to dig back into his work, he couldn''t help but worry about Mandy.
He gritted his teeth, wondering to himself what had caused her tears. Atst, he picked up his phone
and sent a message to Mandy.
When she didn''t reply, he only felt worse.
When Mandy got back to the hospital, a patient from a car ident was brought to the outpatient
department. Feeling slightly energized from the workce, Mandy immediately went to work. The
operationsted for hours and didn''t finish till five o''clock in the afternoon.
Once she walked out of the operation room, ragged from the hours of standing, she used the few
minutes she had to look at her phone. When she saw that Bruce had called her, she called his number.
"Hello, Mand." There was a gentle voice from the other end of the line.
"I was doing a surgery this afternoon, so I didn''t answer your call. What''s up?" Mandy massaged her
temple, sitting down.
"Good news! The headmaster dismissed Jenny." Bruce smiled.
Mandy had foreseen that Jenny would end up like this. It must all have been arranged by Nathan. She
had nned to pay Fiona a visit after work, but now, she didn''t feel like seeing her.
"Really? That''s great," Mandy said, pretending to be happy.
"The headmaster also asked everyone to delete the photos. If anyone finds a way to store them, they''ll
be severely punished too!"
"Bruce, I will visit Nana in a couple of days. I have something to do tonight. Can you take care of her for
me?" Mandy forced a smile, changed her surgical uniform, and walked towards the in-patient
department, still talking on the phone.
"Okay, no problem," he agreed readily.

After Mandy went back to her office, she packed up her stuff and was ready to go back. She connected
her phone to the Wi-Fi in the office only to find Nathan''s message in their online chat box.
At half-past two in the afternoon, Nathan had asked her what she was up to.
"I had a surgery this afternoon. I''m sorry that I didn''t see your message until now," Mandy immediately
replied, clicking send. She didn''t dare dy, knowing that Nathan hatedte messages.
Nathan hade back home. Sitting in the living room, he was waiting for a reply to his message from
Mandy. When his phone finally dinged, he immediately opened it.
He replied to her message pleasantly, "Come home quickly."
In his mind, No. 520, Haibin Road had already be Mandy''s home and their home.
In the past, all he''d ever seen this ce as was a luxurious vi. Now that Mandy had entered his life,
he felt truly at home here.
When Mandy returned and changed her shoes in the rack, she found someone was staring at her from
not far away, which made her ufortable. She looked up, then walked towards him slowly.
Her eyes were swollen like two peanuts. It was as if she had just popped out from an animation,
looking cute.
Nathan couldn''t help but burst intoughter.
Mandy picked up a pillow from the sofa and threw it towards Nathan.
"What''s so funny?" she demanded.
Nathan smiled, patting the empty space beside him.
Mandy sat down, pouting. Though she was feeling a bit better, she still hadn''t gotten over what had
happened with her mother. She didn''t say anything. Instead, she just sat there with her arms around
her legs, looking away from him. At that moment, Nathan couldn''t help but pity her.
"What? Did you cry?" Nathan asked.
"No, I didn''t." Mandy lowered her head in disappointment, avoiding his gaze.
"If you don''t tell me, I''ll find someone else to look into what happened."
"Wait!" Mandy grabbed his wrist. Knowing him, this investigation wouldn''t be as kind-hearted as anyone
would think it to be. She knew what he was capable of. She wouldn''t dare lie.
Nathan squinted, pausing as if waiting for her to give him an exnation.
"Just this afternoon, my mom called me over when she found out I wasn''t in the hospital. I told her
before I was doing a research project...so when she knew, she was very angry because she knew I
was lying and..." Mandy''s rambling stopped. She felt like she had been wronged.
