Chapter 1960 Who Is That Woman


    "Let''s wait until you get off work!" I was too frustrated to talk. All she wanted was to hit someone.


    Cassie grew silent. She kept worrying as she watched I''s back disappear down the corridor. She


    didn''t go back to work until I had left the hospital building.


    The head nurse was a friend of Cassie''s, and she knew Cassie had been doing the night shift for the


    past few days. She felt sorry for Cassie since the night shift was quite demanding and tiring. She called


    Cassie to the lounge.


    "You wanted to see me, ma''am?" Cassie had just finished changing a patient''s dressing when she was


    told that the head nurse wanted to see her.


    She quietly stood in front of the head nurse. Even though she and the head nurse were friends, Cassie


    figured it was better to keep a distance when it came to work as she didn''t want their colleagues to


    gossip about them.


    "Cassie, we''re the only ones here. You don''t need to act like that. Rx. You must be so exhausted!"


    the head nurse said. The head nurse was around 40 years old. She saw Cassie as her little sister.


    Upon hearing what the head nurse said, Cassie smiled, pouted, and said, "Yes, I''m exhausted. I''ve


    been doing the night shift for two straight days!"


    The head nurse was amused by Cassie. She shook her head and said to Cassie, "I know. You always


    let someone else rest first while you work. I mean, I know you aren''t married yet, but you shouldn''t be


    working so hard. Don''t you think you should be spending some time with your boyfriend?"


    "He''s fine with it. He''s actually very supportive. We''re both still so young, so we want to focus on our


    careers, for now," Cassie answered.


    The head nurse seemed to be satisfied with Cassie''s answer.


    The head nurse looked at her watch, and it was about time to change shifts. So she asked Cassie to


    leave and get off work.


    "What? Are you kidding me, ma''am?" Cassie asked the head nurse in disbelief.


    "What''s the problem with you, Cassie? Others would be happy to get off work! You want to stay here


    and continue working? Fine! I won''t force you to leave," the head nurse shrugged and teased Cassie.


    "No, no, no, ma''am. That''s not what I meant! Thank you so much!" Cassie said as she reached out to


    hug the head nurse. When she left the lounge, she was humming and beaming.


    The head nurse couldn''t help but smile as she watched Cassie leave. She heaved a sigh of relief as


    Cassie had been working so hardtely that she often forgot to eat or rest while on duty. She didn''t


    want Cassie to be burned out if she continued that way.


    Soon, Cassie changed her clothes and went to find I.


    I couldn''t sit still in her car. She could feel her insides burning with anger. If Sheryl hadn''t told her not


    to do anything, she would be at the Shining Company right now confronting Charles.


    When Cassie went to I''s car, she could see that I was lost in thought. She looked through the


    window and hesitantly waved at I.


    I quickly opened the door and gestured for Cassie to get in.


    "You''re off work?" I asked Cassie in confusion. She thought that Cassie had asked to get off work


    early because of her.


    "Yeah, the head nurse is so nice. She let me go home early tonight," Cassie answered, smiling.


    Then something urred to Cassie. She asked I in concern, "I, what happened?"This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    "Charles and Sheryl got a divorce."


    "What?" Cassie asked I in disbelief as her eyes widened.


    "Get in the car, and I''ll tell you everything!" I said, flustered. She just needed to talk to someone.


    Cassie immediately got into the car. I then mmed her foot on the gas and drove off.


    Cassie was shaken by I''s driving. She could feel a lump form in her throat as she ced her hand


    on I''s shoulder. "I, slow down. This isn''t safe anymore!"


    "Don''t worry. We won''t get into an ident. Trust me," I said, smiling bashfully. Still, she slowed


    down a bit for Cassie''s sake.


    Soon, they arrived at the seaside.


    I got out of the car first. The breeze blew on her face. She heaved a sigh as sheined to


    Cassie, "I just didn''t expect that Charles and Sheryl would push through with the divorce. I feel so bad


    for Sheryl."


    "I, tell me what happened? I''m so confused." Cassie could still remember what had happened when


    they went to the airport to pick Sheryl up. That was just a few days ago.


    Charles loved Sheryl and only Sheryl. He wouldn''t ever leave her. Cassie had assumed they had


    gotten back together, but now they had gotten a divorce? She didn''t know what was happening.


    "I''m not sure what happened either. What I know is that Charles has been dating this other woman, and


    he says he''s going to marry her. So this other woman answered the phone when Sheryl called and


    asked her to leave Charles alone. How am I supposed to calm down?" I said, all in one breath.


    It was a lot for Cassie to take in. She had had no idea any of this was happening. She didn''t know what


    to think.


    It took a while for Cassie to clear her mind.


    "I, President Lu''s such an asshole. And who''s that woman anyway? Let''s go find her now!" Cassie


    normally thought things through before doing anything, but she just couldn''t stand Charles treating


    Sheryl like that.


    "You think I haven''t thought of doing that? Sheryl wouldn''t let me! She told me it was her business and


    that we shouldn''t get involved. Only she and Charles can fix this." I felt upset as she thought friends


    were supposed to be there for each other. Sheryl wasn''t even letting her do that. While she understood


    that Sheryl just didn''t want to cause trouble for anyone or make them worry about her, she just couldn''t


    stand by and watch the same person hurt her best friend over and over again.


    Cassie couldn''t help but feel frustrated. She lowered her head. Her mind was a mess.


    "I, what should we do? Are we just going to sit back and do nothing?" As much as they both wanted


    to help Sheryl, they knew they couldn''t do anything since Sheryl had already asked them not to. They


    felt helpless, and they didn''t like this feeling.


    "I really don''t know, Cassie. Let''s just wait and see what happens. We can''t do anything to worry Sheryl


    anymore as she already has a lot on her te." I had onlye to Cassie because she wanted


    someone to talk to, but she didn''t expect Cassie to figure out a solution for her.


    They then went to a restaurant to have dinner.


    In the hospital


    Charles looked at Vicky, trying his best to suppress his anger. After the call that Vicky had just


    interrupted, it was going to be more difficult for him now to exin his rtionship with Vicky to Sheryl.


    Even though he and Sheryl had pushed through with the divorce, that wasn''t what he wanted at all. He


    just figured divorcing Sheryl first before he dealt with Vicky would be much better as he didn''t want to


    involve Sheryl in any of this. He just didn''t think that Vicky would speak to Sheryl. He didn''t even want


    to think what Sheryl must be feeling right now.


    "Charles, who was that woman? Is she your ex-wife?" Vicky red at Charles, her eyes filled with


    calction as she scrutinized him.


    "That''s none of your business. I did hit you, and I''m sorry about that. However, I won''t marry you. No


    matter how many times you ask me, I won''t change my mind," Charles said firmly. He realized this was


    the only way to deal with Vicky now, or else he wouldn''t be able to get out of this.


    "No, Charles. You can''t do that. If you don''t marry me, I''ll kill myself! I''m going to do it right now!" Tears


    streamed down her face as she pulled out the tubes that were attached to her.
