Meeting You Was Fate

Chapter 740 Playing Cards

"Sorry, you can't go inside." One of the men reached out his hand to stop Audrey. He was a little impatient since he had never seen her before.

"My name is Audrey. You can inform the people in the ward or call your boss. He will let me in," Audrey said in an arrogant tone. With her lips pursed, she thought, 'Why is even a lowly bodyguard trying to tell me what to do?"

"Please leave right now," the man in black indifferently said, maintaining the stern expression on his face. Because of Audrey's overbearing attitude, he was even more motivated not to let her in. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

In order to prevent Adrian from being hurt again, Nathan had strengthened the security. The original ten bodyguards had been increased to twenty. All of them were from elite troops.

Audrey was so irritated. She didn't know why she was so unlucky today.

She was fine after that fateful encounter with Mandy. But now, even bodyguards were pissing her off. Gritting her teeth, Audrey glared at the bodyguard. She then furiously said, "Fine! Just you wait and see!"

The man in black ignored her and remained standing with the same indifferent expression on his face. Needless to say, he was not afraid of her.

Recently, it seemed like a lot of people had found out that Adrian was in the hospital. Some even pretended to be doctors or nurses to try and enter his ward, but they had all been stopped by the men in black. Mandy had given them a list of doctors that were allowed into the room, and Audrey wasn't on the list. Among everyone in the entire hospital, the only ones included in the list were Dean Tyler, Angela, Cassie, Jayleen, Jamie, the operating room director, and their resident hematologist.

The man in black had thought that Audrey would have the sensibility to just leave. After all, she couldn't break into the room by force. However, Audrey remained where she was. Then, she took out her phone and made a call.

Nathan's name could be seen on her phone's screen.

At that time, Nathan and Mandy had just come from the doctor's office. They had just reached the floor where Adrian's ward was when all of a sudden, his phone rang.

When Nathan was about to answer the phone, his eyes met Audrey's from across the hall. She was standing there, obviously annoyed and not as elegant as she was on a normal basis. Upon seeing him, she pursed her lips and put on a sad expression like someone had wronged her.

Mandy indifferently glanced at Audrey. She didn't know what the woman was doing there. 'She's just a doctor. She is not Adrian's mother. How could she be so kind to him? She must be up to something, ' Mandy thought.

It had been proven time and time again that women's intuition was often accurate. What Mandy had asserted was indeed correct.

If Adrian had not been Nathan's son and was just an ordinary patient, Audrey wouldn't care so much about the young boy. Audrey just wanted to get more chances of being close to Nathan by using Adrian as an excuse. Moreover, Audrey wanted to show Nathan that she was skilled and talented so she could impress him.

It was a pity that Audrey could never succeed.

"Nathan, I'm here to see Adrian. But this guy right here won't let me in," Audrey immediately complained, with an aggrieved expression.

Nathan briefly glanced at the man in black. Remaining silent, the man in black did not explain anything. In fact, he looked rather calm.

"Why should he let you in? He doesn't know you. Dr. Audrey, please don't be upset. We're just doing this for Adrian's safety," Mandy plainly said. While she was speaking, Mandy continued holding onto Nathan's arm. Her red lips were leisurely raised into a smile.

"I'm just worried about Adrian, so I wanted to see him." A trace of embarrassment flashed across Audrey's beautiful face, but it soon disappeared.

"Thank you for your kindness, Dr. Audrey. I thank you on behalf of Adrian," Mandy responded with a faint smile. But it was apparent that Mandy didn't really appreciate what Audrey was doing.

If Audrey wasn't coveting Nathan, Mandy would definitely welcome her. But Audrey was trying to get close to him using their child. Naturally, it infuriated Mandy.

Sure, she was Adrian's attending doctor in Switzerland. But so what?

As a matter of fact, Mandy didn't think that Audrey was a capable doctor because she disagreed with her theory of bacterial infection. Her study lacked any logical reasoning, so for Mandy, her theory was not solid enough.

"Then, can I go in and see him now?" Audrey smiled softly, looking very kind and gentle.

"Of course." Mandy curled up her lips and raised her chin. She didn't take Audrey seriously at all.

If Mandy were being entirely honest, she had a deep hatred for Audrey. She didn't expect that Nathan would meet such a woman when he was in Switzerland. She suddenly recalled that Fiona had told her how Nathan had a serious illness when he was in that country.

If that was so, who was the one who took care of Nathan at that time?

Could it be that it was Audrey?

With these thoughts in mind, Mandy was filled with sorrow. She walked into the ward without saying a word and saw some people inside.

Ethon and Simon had gone back to the company. But Fiona and Nacy didn't have any responsibilities to attend to. They were inside the ward with Adrian, playing cards.

The ward was filled with Adrian's laughter. He then exclaimed, "Aunt Nacy lost again." The little boy took out a sticky note and promptly pressed it on Nacy's face.

The three people who had just came in looked at the three people on the bed in surprise. There were sticky notes on their faces. They were actually drawing cards at random, and the person with the smallest number would receive the punishment of having a sticky note on their face.

Nacy didn't know why she kept losing to Adrian today. If not for the fact that Adrian was only four years old, she would certainly assume that Adrian was cheating. For good reason as well, because every card he drew had a larger number than hers. It was really hard to believe!

"Aaaah! Wait a minute. I'm going to shuffle the cards again. Adrian, are you sure you're not cheating? Why do you keep on winning?" Nacy asked while pursing her lips. Sticky notes were all over her face, but there were only two pieces on Adrian's face. Even so, the boy still looked handsome.

"Aunt Nacy, it's fine if you can't win. But do you really have to suspect me? I feel very sad. Aunt Nana, am I right?" Looking like an old cunning man, Adrian smiled.

When Mandy saw this, a gentle smile appeared on her face. She pulled Nathan's sleeve and spoke in a soft tone, "Nathan, this reminds me of the time when we were in the casinos of Las Vegas."

For a long time, Mandy thought that a righteous man like Nathan wouldn't gamble. But to her surprise, he was an expert in gambling and could always win. She had no idea where Nathan had learned his skills from.
