Chapter 1200 The Brave Nurse


    "He is such a persistent man and has countless things to do. Of course, he knows his body and will


    take good care of himself. Even though he always pushes himself, he won''tpromise his health for


    the sake of his dream. When he is tired, he will take a break. However, when he feels good, he will


    work hard on his career and exceed expectations. He will bnce work and rest, even if it may take


    him longer to finish his work. After all, he doesn''t have any other choice," Sheryl exined.


    When she noticed a sense of hesitancy on I''s face, she continued, "Most importantly, as long as he


    is busy at work, he will not think about those unpleasant things. That way, he will be positive and


    always have a good mood. So, I think it''s better for him to leave the hospital than to just lie in the bed


    idly. Don''t you think?"


    I surveyed the speaker up and down with curious eyes.


    "What? Why are you looking at me like that?" Sheryl asked, noticing I''s stare and feeling rather


    uneasy.


    "Well, I was just wondering when you became a thinker. You made a very good point. I''m quite


    surprised," I remarked in a teasing tone.


    Disbelief was written all over her face.

    "I, why are you making a big deal of this? I''m not dumb, you know? I actually have a brain. Didn''t


    you know that?" Sheryl snapped in a triumphant tone while she proceeded to re at I.


    "Oh, now don''t be like that. Come on, Sher. Rx... Let''s go inside," I said with a resigned look on


    her face. ''What on earth came over her? Is this really my best friend, Sher? It''s unlike her to be this


    opinionated and defensive. Did she have a bad day?'' A barrage of questions ran through I''s mind.


    I and Sheryl entered the ward. Fixing her eyes on the patient, she offered, "Where are your things?


    I''ll help you collect them." Evidently, I was persuaded by Sheryl.


    "It''s over there. Thank you," Nick replied in a joyous tone as he pointed at his belongings. Nick was


    oblivious. He didn''t hear Sheryl and I''s conversation outside of his ward. Nevertheless, he knew that


    Sheryl convinced I to change her mind. Above all else, he was grateful and wanted to thank Sheryl.


    As he wanted to do so, he shifted his gaze from I to Sheryl. Meeting his grateful eyes, Sheryl smiled


    at him.


    Nick nodded at her as a means to show her gratitude.


    I was a rather efficient person. It only took her several minutes to pack all of Nick''s things. "My job is


    done here. Did youplete the discharging formality documents?" I asked the patient.


    "Oh, I''ll get it," Sheryl offered as she watched Nick shake his head at I. ''Since I helped him gather


    his stuff, I should probably do something for him too, '' she thought.


    "Okay...Well, you better hurry up. Otherwise, you will have to wait in line for a long time," I advised.


    With the birth of her daughter, Amanda, I got used to having to bring her ill daughter to the hospital.


    So, she knew exactly how to deal with hospital procedures.


    Amanda had a fever the other night. Luckily she managed to recover quickly after taking medicine,


    which set I''s mind at ease.


    It took Sheryl until noon to finish all the procedures and return to the ward. Nick had been in the


    hospital for nearly a week. Although he hadn''t recovered yet, he still managed to walk. He didn''t look


    like a patient anymore. The three of them managed to leave the hospital quickly.


    "Sheryl, I, I''m fine. I can take a taxi home. You don''t have to give me a ride," Nick said as they stood


    together outside the hospital. ''I can get home by myself. I don''t want to bother them any longer.


    After all, I already owe them a lot, '' he mulled.


    "Don''t be silly! It''s perfectly fine. Where do you live? Perhaps I can give you a lift," I blurted out


    generously.


    "Let me guess...No matter what my answer is, you will just continue to say that you happen to be going


    in the exact same direction as me, won''t you?" Nick grinned. ''It''s so good to be taken care of by them.


    It has been a long time since someone treated me so well, '' he thought, feeling touched inside.


    "Is it that obvious? Yes, you understand me," I returned, as she shed the young man an


    embarrassing, yet sweet smile. ''No matter what he says, I will take him home and that''s final, '' she


    resolved.


    "Well, fine then. Let''s go. I will take the passenger seat and tell you the way to my house," Nick


    "Good, that''ll be helpful," I said with an approving smile.


    Watching the two leave, Sheryl smiled. As she was about to get inside the car, she heard someone''s


    voice from behind. "Wait..."


    She paused, immediately turned around and saw the young nurse who volunteered to attend to Nick


    that night.


    Nick saw her through the car''s rear-view mirror. He hurried out of the car and put on a slight smile. "Oh,


    hi. I intended to say goodbye to you before I left, but your colleague said that you were not there," he


    said to the nurse.


    "Oh, no. I knew you were leaving. They called me..." the nurse nodded.


    "So, you came here just to see me?" Nick asked, moved by her behavior. The memory of them staying


    alone in the ward that night remained vivid in his mind. He would never forget that night since it was the


    first night he had spent in the hospital after his operation. Meanwhile, he was badly in need of people''s


    help.


    Hearing his question, the nurse blushed. She shook her head as she exined, "No, you got me all


    wrong. I actually came here to rece my colleague as she had to leave work suddenly. She called me


    and asked me to cover for her and mentioned that you were discharged today."


    Her exnation seemed convincing. Even so, it didn''t make any sense whatsoever. Now, of course, no


    one wanted to figure out whether or not she was telling a lie.


    However, even though she fooled him, she failed to fool Sheryl and I, who both knew that she had a


    thing for the attractive young man.


    Even though she came up with a story to counter her feelings, Nick sensed the nurse'' admiration for


    him. He felt pleased, as he also had feelings for her. Nevertheless, he was broke and his career was a


    mess. That was why he hid all of his emotions. Compared to the nurse, he behaved way more


    reserved. He said tly, "Oh, okay. Thank you for taking care of me that night. I appreciate it. Bye!"


    Without granting himself any chance to change his mind, he turned around and walked towards the car.


    He was afraid that he might lose control of himself and expose his true feelings towards her.


    "Nick!" the nurse called out.


    Nick paused and stood still. It was almost like his shoes were glued to the ground.


    "I attended to you the entire night, Nick. Don''t you think you should at least know my name?" the nurse


    continued desperately. She was aware that she would lose contact with him unless she told him


    something about herself.


    "Okay, what''s your name?" Nick asked in an indifferent tone without turning around to look at the


    beautiful girl.


    From where Sheryl stood, she could see Nick''s unpleasant facial expression. Tears began to form in


    the corners of his eyes, but he managed to keep them from falling.


    The nurse could tell Nick exuding a rather distant and indifferent aura. ''When he got out of the car, he


    was so nice to me and I could sense that he was indeed pleased to see me.


    That''s why I mustered up the courage to pursue my feelings for him, '' she thought.


    "Give me your phone!" the nurse demanded as she stumbled closer to him, halted in front of him and


    held out her hand.


    "My cellphone is going to die!" Nick refused.


    "Give me your cellphone right this second. I won''t take no for an answer," the nurse insisted.
