Marco suppressed a cough, quietly tidying up the leftover food, his gaze never straying from Loraine.


    However, despite her incessant ringing, no nurse appeared, whether due to the hustle and bustle of the


    hospital or not. Marco finally offered,


    “I’LL go fetch the nurse for you.”


    But Loraine, not wanting his assistance, merely grunted and brushed him off. Spotting a nurse passing


    by their room, she hurriedly called out,


    “Miss! I need this needle out!”


    At the same time, she urged Marco, “The nurse is here now. You can go!”


    Hearing Loraine’s call, the nurse outside the door promptly entered. To


    Loraine’s surprise, it was the same nurse who had assisted her with the injection earlier!


    Noticing the peculiar and eager grin on the nurse’s face as she walked in, Loraine felt a chill run down


    her spine, a sense of foreboding creeping in.


    “still at it, eh, Mr. Bryant? Miss Torres has had yourpany for quite some time now. Bet you’re worn


    out.” The nurse approached, her smile more pronounced.

    Turning to Loraine, she spoke with a sense of concern. “Miss Torres, seeing how Mr. Bryant’s been by


    your side all this time, cut him some ck…”


    The nurse sighed internally, feeling sympathy for Marco. Why were they still quarreling? She hoped


    they would soon reconcile.


    Loraine felt that the way the nurse looked at Marco didn’t indicate any romantic interest. There was


    something strange about it, but she could not put her finger on it.

    The nurse’s eyes, observing them, seemed to envelop the both of them, not just focused on Marco.


    Maybe Marco kept her around because he felt she meant well.


    Loraine observed the nurse attentively and discovered that her name was


    Ang Christine.


    Catching Loraine’s gaze, Ang was momentarily taken aback, but soon responded with an even


    brighter smile. “What’s up, Miss Torres?”


    Marco maintained his frosty expression and spoke in a frigid voice. “We need you to remove the


    needle.”


    Ang nodded repeatedly. “Oh, okay.”


    An exasperated sigh escaped Marco’s lips as he fretted over Ang’spetence.


    “Check on Loraine, will you? She’s been on the drip for ages. Could there be any side effects?”


    Loraine shot him an irritated re and retorted, “If you hadn’t insisted on bringing me to the hospital, I


    wouldn’t be stuck on this damn drip!”
