Chapter 639 I Tend To Overthink

"I didn't eat anything I'm allergic to. I don't know what's wrong with me. I just had an allergic reaction all of a sudden. I feel very uncomfortable and can't fall asleep at all. That's why I came here to ask you to have a look," Nancy said, pretending to be innocent.

"I'll give you some desensitizer I advise you to try and figure out what may have caused the allergic reaction that you just had," Director Franco suggested. Nancy nodded in agreement a little.

"Okay, I will do that, Director Franco," she said.

"Doctor, is it dangerous?" Charles asked in a worried tone.

"Well, Mr. Fu, oftentimes people ignore the symptoms of allergy but as a matter of fact, some allergies are very serious. Those types can cause complications or physical discomfort. In the case of Director Nancy, I can't exactly tell you what is up yet because I will have to observe her condition first. But it does seem a little serious," Director Franco said after pausing for a while to think.

"Okay," Charles answered with a frown. He gave Nancy an angry look.

Nancy did this to hurt herself, but she was left with no choice. She was worried about Nana and wanted to find out who took her place in taking care of Nana. That was what urged her to do something to get to the hospital as soon as she could.

Besides, Charles did not need to go to bed, which meant that he could stay with her in the hospital.

"Nancy, how are you? Are you feeling bad?" Charles asked. He saw Nancy touching her belly and was worried about her.

"You were right. It will probably be affecting my intestines, too. I feel so uncomfortable right now, I might puke," Nancy said, struggling to even speak.

"Oh, my! Just hold on. The doctors will be checking up on you again soon." In his head, Charles was blaming Nancy for making trouble out of nothing, but he also knew that he couldn't show ruthlessness to her at that moment.

'Alas, I really don't know what to do with Nancy!'

It wouldn't be such a big deal if she yelled at him. She just hurt herself which made Charles feel bad and a little guilty.

After all, he was the one who made a decision without consulting with Nancy first. He took away her position in the hospital from her and trapped her at home.

'But this is the only way I can keep you by my side.'

Charles and Nancy proceeded to the ward that was arranged for them by Director Franco. An intravenous drip was then prepared for Nancy.

After an hour of waiting, Nancy's allergy symptoms were alleviated.

Dawn came.

Charles wasn't able to sleep all night.

When the Nancy was given an infusion, it caused her to fall asleep deeply, and Charles stayed up to look after her. He stared at the infusion dripping down from the plastic tube as if he was counting every drop. He couldn't sleep.

When Nancy finally woke up, she saw that Charles was looking so tired.

His eyes were all red and watery. Nancy said,

"Charles, why don't you get some rest? I feel much better now, anyway." But the reality was she didn't really feel sorry for him. It made her happy deep inside, seeing Charles suffer. She thought that if she had to suffer, then Charles also deserved to.

"I'm not sleepy. Do you want anything in particular that you want to eat? Tell me and I'll buy it for you," Charles said and looked at his watch.

"Oh, I'm starving but you don't have to worry. They sell steamed buns there at the hospital gate. They're delicious. That's what I want. Don't forget to add some vinegar, please. It took Charles twenty minutes to get to the hospital gate and buy steamed buns. There was no one waiting in line before him but he still had to wait for around six minutes for the buns. If there was someone who was waiting in line ahead of him, it would have taken him longer to come back. It might take an hour for him to get the buns that Nancy wanted and get back to the ward. Nancy could do a lot of things in one hour.

She would figure out a lot of things.

"Well, just lie down and don't walk around." Charles saw a hint of slyness in Nancy's eyes. He started wondering what she was up to.

"Well, I'm feeling pretty weak. Don't worry. I don't think I can even go anywhere right now," said Nancy.

"You should get some more rest then. I will be back for you soon," Charles said while putting his coat on and walking out.

As soon as he left, Nancy hopped out of bed.

She trotted into the elevator and went straight to the ward where Nana was.

"Director Nancy, why are you in a hospital gown? Is there something wrong with you?" a nurse asked Nancy, surprised to see her like that.

"Just come with me to Nana's ward, please" Nancy had no time to explain and dragged the nurse to Nana's ward.

The nurse followed her but was still confused as to what was happening.

They found that Nana was still sleeping peacefully.

"She made a scene today. Doctor Rick came and gave me a bottle of medicine. I gave Nana a pill from that bottle. She is good for the time being. Doctor Rick told me that once he finishes his work today, he'd come by again. He still…" The nurse took a careful look at Nancy and wanted to say something to her but ended up not speaking up on second thought.

"There is nothing going on between us. Just say it," Nancy told the nurse as she caught her trying to say something. The photo that showed she was hugging Rick had been spread all over the hospital and it was normal for the nurse to have had some questions then.

"Doctor Rick also asked why you haven't been here lately."

"What did you tell him?" asked Nancy.

"I told him that you have taken a few days off and that you will come back to work soon."

"That's smart. Very well," Nancy said while holding both her thumbs up.

"Thank you, Director Nancy. Your resignation has created a lot of rumors and suspicions around here. Is it true that you have resigned already?" the nurse asked cautiously.

"Of course not. I, uh… just forget it. Please just promise me you will take care of Nana and never let anyone else take her medicine or else Nana's health will be put in danger." Nancy exhorted her repeatedly. She feared that someone would tamper with Nana's medicine again.

"I promise I will keep those in mind, Director Nancy," the nurse answered her reassuringly and smiled. "I will take good care of Nana. Don't you worry."

"Ah, that's good then." Nancy looked down on her watch. She guessed that Charles wouldn't be able to come back so soon, so she left Nana's ward and headed to her office.

However, when she tried pushing the door open, she found that it was locked.

She had no way of opening it at all.

Nancy then proceeded to the nursing station.

"Director Nancy… What brings you here?" Nancy was not there. Erin arrived a little early that morning because she was worried about the patients.

To her surprise, she saw Nancy standing by the office door, wearing a hospital gown.

"Is everything alright in here?" Nancy opened her mouth and she felt bitterness in her heart. This was her second home but thinking about how she was practically kicked out of it broke her heart.

"No, it isn't. I'm used to getting orders from you. They suddenly changed my boss and I'm really not used to it. But I guess I have no choice, do I?" Erin answered with loneliness in her tone. "What's going on, really, Director Nancy? Why did you resign? Also, I am so confused. Why are you wearing a hospital gown? Are you seriously ill? Don't scare me, please. You know that I tend to overthink."Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
