Chapter 1313 Stop


    Cassie couldn''t remember how many times the busy tone had rang on her ear while she tried to call


    Nick. If she hadn''t saved it under his name on her contact list, she would have suspected she had


    dialed the wrong number all this time. She tried one more time, and the same busy tone buzzed in her


    ear.


    ''Is Nick probably on a business trip abroad? Or is he just stuck in a business meeting out of the city?


    Why is he not answering his phone? He couldn''t be that busy. What is going on with you, Nick?''


    Every day that Cassie couldn''t get a hold of Nick, these questions kept bugging her. The nights were


    even worse. She ended up tossing and turning in bed, sleepless until it was time to get up again. His


    absence was mainly affecting her work focus. If she only had the courage, she would have left the work


    in the hospital and searched for Nick desperately.


    But leaving was one thing, and finding him was another. She was clueless on where she would start


    looking. ''His office perhaps?'' she thought. ''Or maybe his house?''


    Cassieughed at herself for overthinking. She had a feeling that even if she really went and found


    Nick, he might still avoid her.


    "Hey!" The patient''s annoyed voice snapped her back to reality. Apparently, Cassie injected her at the


    wrong ce. "Oh my!" she gasped, shocked and quickly injected her at the right ce. "I''m really sorry,


    ma''am," she apologized after it had been done. However, the annoyed patient started cursing, "Damn!


    You better be sorry! I would rather have another nurse attend to me when I end up sick again."


    Cassie kept apologizing, but the middle-aged patient just didn''t let her go. She held onto Cassie''s arm


    and started to threaten her, "Take me to your director. I would like to speak with her about what you just


    did. Such irresponsibility needs to be reprimanded."


    Panic washed over Cassie''s face. The head nurse had already given her a verbal warning for her poor


    job performance these past few days. If this patient really reported her to the head nurse, she would be


    in trouble and get fired.


    At the thought of that, Cassie threw off the woman''s hand and blocked her. "Wait!" she eximed.


    The woman was suddenly taken aback but after she regained herposure, she got angrier and


    shouted, "You''re just a nurse! What the hell are you trying to do? How dare you block my way! Don''t


    you know the rules and regtions in this hospital?"


    Cassie''s face turned crimson in embarrassment, but she had no other choice. The woman was fiery


    and arrogant, but what she said made sense. Her words were like needles sticking into Cassie''s heart,


    which made her almost breathless.


    "I''m really sorry, ma''am. I didn''t mean toe across as rude. I just hope that we could talk about this


    peacefully," Cassie said. However, she couldn''t persuade the patient to change her mind and she


    dared not strike the woman. Cassie had no words to defend herself over this, but thest thing she


    wanted to happen was to escte this matter. Her leader would surely hold her responsible for her fault


    and she might be sacked.


    Cassie was very anxious. She kept apologizing and hoped that the woman would forgive her.


    However, when the patient saw that Cassie was weak and harmless, she became more aggressive.


    "That''s it. Let''s go!" She shouted louder, held Cassie''s arm and started to pull her.


    Cassie was quite small and she wasn''t strong enough to push the woman away. Despite her


    resistance, she was pulled ahead by that woman. What made her feel worse was that everyone''s eyes


    were now on them. Some patients and her colleagues were now looking at her and discussing.


    The hospital was a ce full of gossips. If she still tangled with this patient, she would be overwhelmed


    by the rumors even though the woman decided not to me her.


    Cassie felt more worried. She almost wanted to cry. ''This could not be happening, '' she thought, but it


    was.


    "Stop!"


    That voice was so loud and strong that it attracted everyone''s attention.


    Cassie was almost teary-eyed as she lifted her head to see who that was.


    ''How could it be? Jordan Li?''


    Cassie was shocked by the figure suddenly appearing. Thest person she expected to see at this


    critical moment was Jordan. Was he here to save her?


    His stance was warm and confident as he stood a few feet in front of them. "Ma''am, it''s you! What a


    coincidence to meet you here today!" Jordan greeted in a charming tone and with a bright smile. He


    looked at Cassie with warm eyes, and winked, before he turned to her patient again.

    The woman was shocked. She never expected that, of all times, she would run into her acquaintance


    while she was scolding a nurse. Now after she figured out who this fine youngd was, she was


    unsettled.


    She certainly knew Jordan, who worked with her husband in the same office and was definitely of a


    higher rank than her husband was. Her husband had taken her to one of theirpany parties in the


    past, and she had the privilege to be introduced to this man before.


    ''Well, what is his name again?'' she started to juggle back to that memory. ''Jordan Li, is it? Yes, that''s


    him.''


    The women quickly nced at Cassie, who was unable to meet her eyes. ''Could it be that this nurse is


    Jordan''s girlfriend?''


    She thought that there was a possibility, so she quickly shut up. She forced a smile on her face,


    hurriedly released Cassie and then walked up to Jordan.


    "Oh, it''s you, Mr. Li! I don''t expect to meet you at this hospital. What a surprise!" The womanughed


    so hard that other people barely saw her eyes, a total shift from her angry expression a while ago.


    Cassie was left speechless with the patient''s sudden change in emotions. It was like watching a wicked


    stepmother in a soap opera.


    Jordan nced at the woman, his eyes calm and unwavering.


    He remembered thisdy from one of theirpany parties, and her husband had introduced them


    before, so he believed she would listen to him. Considering this, he decided to step up for Cassie.


    Jordan smiled, waved at Cassie and said, "Cassie,e here."


    Cassie felt confused, but when she heard him call out to her, she felt relieved and quickly walked


    towards Jordan.


    "Ma''am, let me introduce to you, Cassie. She is my friend." Jordan paused for a second on purpose


    before he told the woman that Cassie was his friend.


    The woman was quite clever and she understood Jordan''s implied meaning immediately. She looked at


    Cassie, smiled and apuded, "Mr. Li, Cassie is so beautiful and smart. You see, there are so many


    nurses in this hospital, but I onlye to her. Well, it was just a misunderstanding. I''m so sorry for that.


    There had been a mix-up."


    Cassie admired the patient''s flexibility. In spite of her shock, she forced a smile and apologized again,


    "Ma''am, it''s my fault. I was careless just now."


    "Well, ma''am, if Cassie did anything wrong, please ept her apology. I''ve known your husband for


    years. So if you can forgive Cassie, I will owe your husband a favor and I''ll buy him drinks next time,"


    Jordan said, significantly.


    "What''s done is done. Don''t worry about it. Cassie,e to my home with Mr. Li when you have time. I


    really have to go now. Bye!" Hearing Jordan''s words, the woman knew clearly what she should say and


    do. After saying so, she dared not stay and just left. ''I let Cassie go because of Jordan. Now that he


    owes me, he will help my husband when he could, '' she thought to herself. Anyway, she would lose


    nothing.
