Sweet Twins

Chapter 640 Having Guesses

"I'm fine. What's the new director's name?" asked Nancy.

"Her name's Brandy Yu. I already told you yesterday that she looked feisty and I am intimated, to be frank. Alas, it is really strange. You just resigned. Why did she come here all of a sudden? Director Nancy, please. I hope you get better so you can come back soon. Everyone is waiting for you," Erin said anxiously.

"I'm not seriously ill, Erin. It's just that everything was arranged on purpose by someone," Nancy said, knowing that Charles was responsible for orchestrating everything.

He didn’t want her to get back to work so he trapped her at home and found a good doctor to replace her position.

It seemed that Charles had made up his mind about not letting her continue her career as a doctor anymore.

Could it have been because of the club or because he wanted her to just take care of their children?

Nancy could accept the latter but if it was the former, Nancy would be very upset.

And because she wanted to find out the real reason behind all that, she continued investigating.

"What should we do, Director Nancy?" Erin asked while stomping her feet anxiously.

"Erin, what are you doing in front of my office?" A clear voice suddenly came.

Nancy and Erin both quickly turned around to where it came from.

A woman in black quilted jacket and pink leather boots approached them.

She was well-dressed, elegant, and beautiful.

"Oh, Director Brandy. I was..." Erin said, wanting to introduce Nancy.

However, she was interrupted by Nancy herself. "I'm a patient here. I got bored and just wandered around. Erin found me here."

Nancy did not want to get Erin into any trouble. After all, she had a special identity then. The former director of the pediatric department was just like the ex-girlfriend, and all the exes like her were the people that they hated and didn't want to see.

Nancy knew that if Brandy found out that it was her that she replaced, she wouldn’t exactly be too excited about it.

"Oh, I see. But why have I never seen you before?" Brandy said in a raised voice.

"I am a patient in the Department of Dermatology," Nancy said trying to keep herself from frowning. How could Brandy be so arrogant?

"Well, if that is the case, most of the patients in that department have skin diseases which are mostly contagious, so you better not be wandering about too much." Brandy looked at Nancy from head to toe, but strangely enough, her tone got a little softer than the initial one.

Nancy and Erin looked at each other and wondered what Brandy meant.

Did she even recognize Nancy?

"I… It’s time to get back to work." Erin faltered, "You'd better get back to the ward now. Avoid walking around."

"Alright," Nancy said. She didn't want to say anything else to Brandy. After all, she had just been recruited by Charles. Whether Brandy was modest or arrogant, it had nothing to do with Nancy.

"Bye," Brandy said and waved her hand.

"Bye," Nancy responded politely Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

and headed straight to the elevator.

It was the rush hour then. When she saw that someone took the elevator before she did, which meant that she would have to wait again, she quickly walked to the stairs.

Fortunately, the Department of Dermatology wasn't that far away. It was just three floors down.

Brandy sneered looking at Nancy's back.

'So, this is Nancy. She is more beautiful than when she is in the picture. Charles really has a great taste,' she thought.

When Nancy returned to her ward, she found Charles staring at her with gloomy eyes. He was holding the steamed buns he bought for her.

"It is to stuffy in the ward today, so I went out for a little walk," Nancy explained.

"Well, did you get back to your office?" Charles asked.

"How do you know?" Nancy asked curiously.

"Well it seems that I guessed right then." Charles sneered. He had just gone out for a while and she couldn't even stay in the ward for one hour.

"Yes. That’s where I work. It should just be normal for me to visit my own office, shouldn’t it? After all, I haven't even properly applied for my leave." Nancy had been trying to hold back her anger and she was about to explode then. She tightly bit her lips, afraid that she would lose it in front of Charles and start fighting with him.

"Nancy, stop playing dumb. I have called for Brandy to replace you. I think her medical skills are excellent."

"Do you know Brandy?" Nancy asked.

"Yes, we were classmates back in high school," Charles answered.

"You are so bossy," Nancy said in a low voice.

"Well, yeah, I am bossy in that I would never allow Rick to appear in this hospital again. Nancy, I don't wanna see that man ever again. Do you hear me?" Charles shouted and gritted his teeth.

"Have you been spying on me all this time?" Nancy roared.

"Yes! It isn't illegal to spy on my woman. A restless woman, at that. Well, is it?" Charles said arrogantly.

"Charles, you are just as unreasonable as your own mother! Your whole family is! I…" Nancy was so enraged that she felt the blood all over her body rush to her head. Did Charles just want to control her?

She thought Charles didn't really love her. His love for her, if anything, was selfish. Love wasn't supposed to mean being too controlling of your partner. She didn't want any of that anymore.

"Damn it, Charles! Stay the hell away from me! I am going to work and I don’t wanna see you anymore!"

The next second, her arm was grabbed by Charles. "Nancy, do you really believe you can go back to work already? Listen up, I will not allow it!"

"You are such a despicable man, Charles!" Nancy yelled and grabbed the steamed buns from Charles hand and threw them at his face. "You just had an affair with Brandy! You misunderstood me and Rick. I am absolutely done with you. I don't care about you and I would not want to be with you!"

she shouted and bit Charles' arm.

Charles jerked her shoulder and felt the pang of pain from the way Nancy bit her.

Nancy then turned around and ran into the elevator. The patients and medical staff that were around the hospital corridors saw what just happened.

Charles chased Nancy as she ran ahead.

"Oh, that's Mr. Fu, right?"

"Yes indeed. The woman he was chasing was Director Nancy. That was odd, though. Were they playing the cat-catches-mouse? I'm confused."

"Ha! Is Director Nancy sick? What is wrong with her? It's flu season. Maybe she could have caught it. Otherwise, how could such an elegant woman run around the hospital like that in just a hospital gown, even?"

Everyone started having guesses about what was really happening.

Nancy started running out of breath while Charles kept following her without difficulty.

She staggered into the ward,

sat down, and gasped.

"Nancy, where are you heading to?" Charles wasn't able to sleep well last night and now he was full of sweat after chasing Nancy, apparently.

"Achoo!" Nancy sneezed uncontrollably.
