Chapter 111 I Can''t Stand It Anymore
"Dad, do you think Ang would dare to ask my brother to wash the dishes?" Asked Lulu. Comforted
by the thought, she trotted towards Hogan.
He nced at her and rather than answering, posed a rhetorical question to her, "What do you think?"
Lulu carefully thought about it and then nodded. "Dad, you''ve no idea how capable my brother is of
camouging himself in front of us. You know, he''s very considerate towards Ang, not only
physically, but spiritually as well! When I was leaving the sitting room, they were leaning into each other
and watching a movie... The scene was just so romantic!" Lulu''s eyes zed at the memory. After a
moment, she shook her head as if to get rid of the memory. "I can''t stand it anymore!" said she.
After she had given vent to her anger and calmed down a little, her parents nced at each other. How
could they not know how good Arvin was to Ang? Before Lulu hade back home, they had been
chatting about the news that had been doing the rounds in the hospital during the daytime.
Ever since Arvin had met Ang, he had changed so much that almost everyone had noticed it.
"Go to your room, now. I want to discuss something with your mother, " Hogan instructed Lulu. He
closed the medical book he was reading. It was time that he spared some thought to his third son''s life.
"Okay. Good night, Dad. Good night, Mom!" said Lulu, getting up from the bed. She felt much better

now that her parents had heard her out. She let herself out of the room and gently closed the door
behind her.
The bedroom was quiet after Lulu had left. Teresa broke the silence. "Just wondering, Hogan...I guess
Arvin has never taken your nephew as a qualified rival. He looks quite confident about the director
election, " she said. Thest time she had visited Arvin''s office, she had warned him to be careful about
his image during the critical time leading to the election.
But who knows? Shortly afterwards, he had dared to jump into the artificialke to save Ang, and
had even kissed her in front of many people.
Since Arvin was the hero in the incident, the news had quickly spread around the hospital. Teresa could
imagine the scene when they were in theke without seeing any pictures.
"Baron is certainly not a threat. He''s just a 20-year-old spoilt child who wants to be the director. But he
hasn''t finished college yet. Although it sounds a little nonsensical, there is still a possibility that he may
be the nominal director, " said Hogan. Baron was born to Haley, Hogan''s younger sister, when
she was 36 years old. As a result, she had spoilt him, which, however, made him a cob.
In fact, many important people supported Arvin and wanted him to be elected the director.
Of course, there were others, who did not support him. For example, his arch rival, Zack and Parker,
Haley''s husband.
Although Zack was going to retire soon, he still dreamed of bing the director before he said
goodbye to the hospital.
The three people, Arvin, Zack and Parker, could get along quite well with each other before the
election, but now, differences had arisen.
As they could not reach a decision about who should be the director, they decided to choose the most
capable one through fairpetition.
Baron would have had a chance to win the election, if he had been really dedicated in the medical
circle. But the fact was that he wasn''t. Once, when Arvin and he had gone to a party, Arvin had
thoroughly disgraced him. Chagrined, Baron had sworn to do anything to beat Arvin. Since Arvin
wanted to be the director, he would exert all his strength to stop him.
Teresa had also heard about this incident. Moving on to other concerns, she said, "I''ve heard that the
director and his son from Chengyang Private Hospital will visit J City one of these days." She wondered
if the director''s wife, Daisy, would alsoe with them? If she would, then maybe Teresa could have a
purposeful chat with her.
"Yes. Their visit is nned for the third day from today, " replied Hogan. Yao Hospital and Chengyang
Private Hospital had a friendly rtionship because neither of them had opened a branch in the
general hospital at the other side.
Not to mention the friendship between Sven and Arvin. In fact the two hospitals were currently working
towards strengthening their rtionship.
"Oh, by the way, I had dinner with Nita this evening. She looked unhappy at the table. Although she
didn''t tell me why she was in a bad mood, I think I can figure out the reason, " sighed Teresa. ...
Even she had heard about Arvin and Ang. How could she not be upset?
Hogan nodded his head. "But my advice to you is to not get too involved in their rtionship. If you are
doing well, they may thank you, But, if not, watch out, your son may turn his back on you!" Hogan
warned Teresa, who became speechless when she heard his words.
The next day, when Ang woke up from her beautiful dream, she found that Arvin had already left for
the hospital.
She went to the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror. When she pushed back her hair, she
noticed something amazing. She was wearing a pair of earrings that she was sure she did not own.
She carefully observed the earrings and soon realized that they were made of rare Tahiti pearls.
Who had put them on her ears? Why hadn''t she noticed them before?
Ang didn''t wash her face. She ran back to the room, snatched up the new cell phone that Arvin had
brought for her, sat on the bed, and eagerly dialed his number.
In the vice director''s office...
Arvin was discussing a surgery with Nita and several other chief physicians. Suddenly, his cell phone
started ringing. Nita glimpsed at the picture on his cell phone screen.
It showed Arvin and Ang together in a nifty pose in his apartment. Ang had clicked the picture the
day before.
Although Arvin didn''t look at the screen, a broad smile broke out on his face.
The caller ID disyed "Little girl". Arvin picked up the cell phone and stood up. He looked around the
table and said, "You guys continue. I''ll join you once again after the call."
Saying this, Arvin walked into the rest room. He answered the call. "Have you just woken up?" he
asked Ang.
"Yes, big wing. It''s you who put the earrings on my ears, right?" Ang asked gleefully.
Arvin shyly smiled. He then smirked and sternly asked her, "Is there any other man hiding with you in
the apartment?"
"Yes... You caught me!" teased Ang. She was lying on the bed with a sweet smile on her face. She
tenderly touched the earrings.
"Are you sure?" The man asked again in a serious and warning tone.
Ang giggled and said, "Yes. I''m pretty sure. In fact, I was about to admit it to you. The man I hide is
called...Arvin."
Arvin was relieved. He burst outughing. Then, he tenderly asked, "Are you hungry? I''ve prepared
breakfast for you. It is in the kitchen. You can warm it and have it."
"Okay. I will not bother you now. I need to go to the hospital and see how Nancy''s recovering, " she
said and disconnected the phone. As long as Nancy was in the hospital, she could go there every day.
Arvin had a gentle smile on his face when he exited from the rest room.
When he reached his colleagues, he suppressed his smile and transformed into the professional he
was once again.
Nita could not believe how Arvin was behaving. She wondered if it was just an illusion.
A short whileter, Ang walked into ward no. 3. She tugged Lucy and Xenia on her way to the room
without drawing Winnie''s attention.
Lucy and Xenia went into Nancy''s room after Ang. The girls were happily talking andughing in the
room.
Alice did not like their behavior. She reported their visit to Winnie, which resulted in Lucy and Xenia
wearily leaving the ward.
The moment they left the room, Ang turned to Nancy. "How''s everything going between you and
Stanley?" she inquired.
Nancy shook her head. "He hasn''t visited me, since he left yesterday, " she sighed.
"What? Why? Did you called him?"
"No. I didn''t even message him, " she replied.
