Chapter 1412 His Cassie!
"I''m leaving, Sheryl. I got other ns for today. I''ll visit you again another time. Please take care and
get well soon," Nick said apologetically and stood up.
Sheryl got no other means but to nod at him, "Okay, see you next time. Don''t forget to take a break and
have your meals on time, no matter how busy you are. Health is fundamental to our body."
Nick smiled and nodded in approval, and then left the ward.
On the other side of the hospital, Cassie wished that she got wings to fly to Sheryl''s ward right away.
She knew Nick might already be there.
But as a professional, she could never leave her patient unattended, especially when she was currently
on duty in the emergency department. This emergency case was actually no big deal, although his
forehead and arms were soaked in blood. But the patient was bleeding out of traumas, not due to injury
on any of his internal organs.
She checked how the patient was doing, disinfected and dressed his wounds in an orderly way. The
rest of the work would be for the doctor. Shortly after she was done, the doctor on duty hurried into the
emergency room. Cassie briefed him about the situation and then rushed out of the room, hoping to still
catch Nick with Sheryl.
She tried to run faster, not paying much attention to the way, until a man showed up in front of her
abruptly.
Cassie stopped as the guy blocked her way. She stamped her feet anxiously and then looked up to see
who it was.
To her great surprise, it was someone she knew, Cora''s elder brother.
Cassie sighed impatiently, but she had to greet him.
"Hey, Jordan! Nice to meet you. But what are you doing here? Looking for Cora or seeing a doctor?"
she asked, forcing a smile on her face.
Jordan stared at her with eager eyes, slobbering her pretty face in his mind. He put on a bright smile
and gently replied, "I got some good news, Cassie. Would you like to join me and Cora for lunch this
noon? I can''t wait to tell you!"
Cassie bit her lip to hold back her anxiety, thinking hard on how to get rid of Jordan.
''Such a weird guy, '' Cassie thought. He could''ve celebrated his good news with his sister or any of his
friends, but why her? They barely knew each other.
But she couldn''t speak her criticism loud. She had to show some respect. After all, he was Cora''s elder
brother. Although her eagerness to see Nick was burning inside, she had to watch her words.
"Congrattions. But I''m sort of busy today. I''m afraid I have to work this noon. Thank you for the
invitation anyway. Please just take Cora to lunch. I had to go now!" Cassie tried to side-step but Jordan
stepped to block her again.
"No, I insist. I''ve gotten a reservation in Fortune Restaurant. I''ve told Cora to bring you along. It''s no
trouble at all, and you need to have lunch anyway. I''ll wait until you''re avable. It won''t take you long,
right? Please don''t turn me down," Jordan addressed with both emotion and reason.
Cassie felt like a cat on hot bricks. She wanted to directly refuse him, but if he kept talking, it would

definitely waste more of her time. On the other hand, she didn''t feel it was right to go to lunch with him
against her will. All her attention was on Nick now. She needed to see him right away and deal with the
mess between them.
She must hurry up. Otherwise she woulde to naught when Nick had gone.
On a sudden inspiration, she said, "I really have no idea when I can go to lunch, Jordan. Here is my
suggestion. You and Cora should go first, and I''lle right after. It''s Fortune Restaurant, right? Please
don''t wait for me. I can just hail a taxi. Okay?"
Jordan hesitated for a second. He sensed there was something wrong about the youngdy in front of
him, but he couldn''t put a finger on it. She had turned down his suggestion of going out a couple times
before, but it felt nothing like now. It was obvious that she had something on her mind, and it was
urgent.
Right at that moment, Jordan spotted a familiar figure from afar approaching them from behind Cassie.
He fixed his eyes on the man and realized it was Nick.
Nick got some distance from them and seemed preupied. Thus, he didn''t notice them. Cassie didn''t
see him, because he was approaching from behind her. Nick was moving towards their direction and
was getting closer every second.
Jordan immediately figured out why Cassie acted so weird today.
She must''ve known that Nick was here earlier. She was upset because of him, and refused to go to
lunch with him because of the same guy.
Now he understood the whole story. He clenched his hands into fists and gritted his teeth out of
jealousy. Nick would get where they were in a few seconds, and he had to do something.
Jordan tried hard to suppress his burning anger and thought quickly. On the surface, he looked nothing
different, at least Cassie didn''t realize how tensed he was inside.
In an instant, an idea struck him. He sneered and pretended to struggle on his feet, as if someone
passing by had ran into him by ident. He then fell straight onto Cassie.
But Cassie paid no attention to his movement. She was obsessed with the thought of meeting Nick,
and caught unprepared. She leaned backward to avoid him out of instinct.
It was just what Jordan thought she would do. He didn''t try to hold himself back or help Cassie to stand
but fell with her.
With a loud bang, Cassie was pressed against the wall behind her while Jordan hurriedly put both
hands on the wall, trying hard not to squeeze her. They were so close that Cassie could feel his breath.
With their position, passers-by might assume they were kissing in public.
"Please..." Cassie eximed, trying to push him away with both hands. It felt awkward.
But the next moment, Jordan put on a miserable face. Grasping Cassie''s hand on his chest while
gasping, he whispered, "I got a sudden stomach ache. It''s killing me, Cassie. Please help me."
His face was twisted and he bit his lip tightly. In such a close distance, Cassie couldn''t see clearly what
he looked like. She was at a loss when Jordan suddenly rested his head on her shoulders.
She tried to take her hand from his grip, but failed. She gave up several timester and had to let it be.
She took a deep breath and finally asked, "How do you feel now, Jordan? The doctor''s office is just
around the corner. Can you manage till we get there? I can help you." She was nervous to death. She
sweaty. Apart from Nick, she had never stood so closely to a man. It made her feel disgusted.
She didn''t resist any intimate contact with Nick, because she loved him and wanted him close. But the
man holding her now was only an elder brother of a colleague. She couldn''t ept it.
Cassie managed to stand straight and made another attempt to push him away.
It happened so quickly. Meanwhile, Nick was just one to two meters away from them.
Spotting him from the corner of his eyes, Jordan suddenly dragged Cassie into his arms. Ignoring the
panic in her eyes and the repellence of her body, he lowered his head and pressed his lips against
hers.
Jordan then let out a sign of both relief and satisfaction. He finally made it happen, although he saw it
happen hundreds of times in his dreams before.
Her lips tasted exactly as he imagined. He was over thrilled as he held her tighter. He dared not to
move his hands over her, something that he had done thousands of times in his dreams.
Nick was stunned by the scene as he came across them. He shook his head and tittered how impatient
the young couple was, but the following second, he was almost taken aback.
He couldn''t believe his eyes! It was Cassie who was being kissed by another man. His Cassie!
