Meeting You Was Fate

Chapter 71 Forgetting The Most Important Thing

Mandy heaved a sigh of relief. She sat on the edge of the bed, waiting for Fiona to wake up.

"Poor kid, see how much you have lost?" Mandy furrowed her eyebrows as she murmured to herself in front of Fiona. She reached out her right hand to gently touch Fiona's face.

"Mandy, come on out. I have something to tell you." Bruce stood aside as he looked at Fiona in silence. On the way to the hospital, he hadn't had a chance to tell Mandy why Fiona had fainted.

"Okay," Mandy said tiredly.

At No. 520, Haibin Road

The look on Nathan's face was dark and upset. He seemed to be shrouded by darkness. It was already twenty past five. Mandy hadn't come home yet. Even if there was a traffic jam, she would still be here by now. It was only ten minutes from JR Hospital here.

It seemed that the air was filled with the smell of blood. If Nathan ever got truly angry, the consequences were always very serious.

"President Jin, are you hungry? How about I cook something for you?" Lillian asked quietly.

"No, thank you," Nathan refused coldly without thinking. He insisted that Mandy should be cooking the dinner today.

Lillian withdrew herself without another word. Inwardly, she thought, 'It is over. Miss Zhou will suffer again.'

Time went by slowly. The constant tick-tack of the clock did not help either. It was already past seven in the evening.

Mandy didn't call nor leave any information about her whereabouts. It seemed she had run away.

Nathan couldn't sit still any more. He checked the GPS on his phone and checked where Mandy's phone was in order to find her. He saw that she was still at the hospital. 'Is she still performing a surgery?

Mandy, you had better think of a reasonable explanation when you come back here!' The look in Nathan's eyes became cold, like a beast that found his prey.

At the JR Hospital

Mandy now roughly knew what had happened after she heard the statement from Bruce. She just felt more distressed for Fiona.

"Hey, Bruce, can you hack the internet cafe to find out who was the manipulator behind this?" A trace of pure hate appeared on Mandy's quiet, small face. She swore in her heart that no one was allowed to hurt Fiona, not to mention someone who used such a despicable method.

"I asked my friend to go to that Internet cafe this afternoon, but there was not even a monitor camera there. He asked the boss, who said that because of the numerous amount of customers that day, he had no idea who had done it." Bruce shook his head in defeat.

"Nana is a very prideful girl. I am sure what happened to her must be more painful than death." Mandy's face twitched, and inside her, there was a monster ready to be unleashed on a victim. She wondered who could be so despicable and low to do this!

"Yes, the news was released last night. Students like to secretly play with their mobile phones at night. The school didn't check the information on mobile phones very carefully. So when everyone woke up this morning, the incident was all over the news," Bruce said as he rubbed his forehead, as if he had a real headache.

"Do you think it is the same girl from last time?" Mandy instinctively felt that she was perpetrator. She trusted her gut feeling.

"I thought so, but unfortunately there is no evidence now," Bruce explained calmly. Both Jenny's parents were civil servants, and they knew someone with an esteemed background. Although Jenny didn't do well on her exams, she got the chance to become a student in the No. 1 High School of City A. All of it depended on her parents' close relationships with people in high places and their great influence. Basically, her parents had connections.

"Well, I see. No matter what. I am going to find out the truth." Mandy made up her mind. She didn't tell anyone what she was thinking, but she did think of a person, whom she was sure would help her. Of course, this person was Nathan.

Yep. It was Nathan.

"Wait, what time is it now?" Suddenly, it dawned on Mandy she was supposed to cook for Nathan today! Dang it, another promise broken.

At hearing the news that Nana had fainted, Mandy had panicked and left her phone on the table when she ran to her sister.

Bruce looked at his watch and said, "It is half past seven already."

The corner of Mandy's mouth was twitched. She was so shocked. She could just envision Nathan's dark face from afar. She really screwed up this time! How could she count on Nathan to help her now?

"What is wrong? Is everything okay?" Mandy's face looked like she had seen a ghost just now. The fear in her face was easily recognizable.

"Nothing... Really, I am alright." Mandy smiled awkwardly and shook her head.

At that moment, she heard Fiona's voice coming from the ward. Mandy flew to Fiona's side.

Fiona's face was a deadly white as she slowly opened her eyes and looked around. The familiar smell of disinfectant spread into her nose. She sat up from the bed. As she moved her right hand, it accidentally displaced the drip needle.

The needle had to be moved to another position. Mandy helped Fiona with the procedure.

Fiona's hand was a little swollen. Mandy felt heartbroken to see Fiona like this. She carefully pressed the back of Fiona's hand to express her sympathy. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

"Sis, what happened to me?" She looked so desperate.

"You passed out. It was Mr. Xu who brought you to the hospital."

"Thank you, Mr. Xu."

"You're welcome."

"Nana, let me drive you home tonight." Seeing Fiona so weak and sad, Mandy thought that it was better for her to drive her home instead of going back to school. At least, then Fiona would be in a place of safety.

Fiona jumped from the bed as she said, "No, thank you, sister. I'm fine. I don't want uncle and auntie to worry about me."

"Silly girl, I am worried about you! You are not in this alone," Mandy said worriedly. In her mind, she thought that Fiona was more stubborn than she was.

"Sister, don't worry. It's just a small problem. I'm fine. I'm really fine. I can't quit school. If I'm tired, I'll let you know..." Fiona smiled considerately. She had already put on her shoes as she replied.

"Then come with me to eat something." Mandy doted on Fiona very much. Fiona had no choice but to listen to her.

"Okay, sister," Fiona nodded with a smile.

The three of them found a small restaurant near the hospital and had a simple meal. After the meal, Bruce took Fiona back to the No. 1 High School. Mandy repeatedly told Bruce to take care of her sister.

When Mandy went back to the doctor's office, she felt exhausted. When she was about to leave the hospital with her bag and phone, she suddenly saw a familiar figure.

Nathan had come.

Mandy froze in fear. She knew she had messed up big.

There were only two people left on the staircase. One was Mandy Zhou, and the other was Nathan Jin. With anger in his gloomy eyes, he stared at Mandy without saying a word, as if he wanted to swallow her alive.

Mandy, who was standing in front of Nathan, could not help but tremble in fear. Every time Nathan looked at her in this way, she knew things would end badly.

Mandy gritted her teeth and tried to explain to him. But Nathan resolutely turned around and left.

Looking at his hardened back, Mandy suddenly felt that she was like a withered flower. Depressed, fearful, and even more anxious, she followed Nathan.
