Chapter 24: Gerard Was Sick
Michelle finally noticed the young nurse in the room.
The woman looked pretty - a subtle blush painted her cheeks and neck.
She was looking at Gerard with longing eyes.
Michelle's gaze shifted between Gerard and the nurse.
She realized that the woman must have fallen in love with Gerard.
"Betty, you can leave now.I'll take care of him."
Michelle watched the nurse playing with her uniform and squirming on the spot. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
Betty glanced at Gerard before smiling at Michelle.
She reluctantly tore her eyes away from the handsome man and finally left the ward.
A smile tugged at the corners of Michelle's lips when she realized that Betty was utterly bewitched by Gerard.
She grabbed a piece of cotton and dipped it in alcohol to disinfect the needle before puncturing it into his bulging vein.
After injecting the medicine, Michelle cleaned the table and grabbed her things.
"That's it, Mr.Robert.Please don't move and make sure you get ample rest.I'll come and see you in an hour during my ward rounds."
She adjusted the speed of the drip, not bothering to look at Gerard.
Michelle turned on her heels and left the ward once the job was done.
Jolie snorted contemptuously when she walked past her.
However, Michelle decided to ignore her.
She didn't want to break ties with Greenwoods over a trivial issue.
After all, she still owed a favor to them.
She wanted to pay back for their kindness.
"Michelle?" Gerard croaked.
"Anything else?" asked Michelle, without looking back at him.
Gerard didn't say anything, so she quickly walked away.
Michelle's breathing began to falter, she didn't want to stay in the room for another second.
George was in the office, busy writing down the case report.
Michelle plopped on the chair opposite him and called Betty through the intercom to clear the table.
Betty was a polite woman.
She silently thanked Michelle and wondered if she could still go back to the ward again.
Michelle rolled her eyes as she caught Betty blushing again.
‘Wow! This girl sure has a crush on Gerard, ' thought she.
'What is so good about him? Why is every woman swooning at the mere sight of him? Am I the only one who is blind to his charms?’
"What's wrong, Michelle? Did the patient in Room 001 make things difficult for you?"
George asked concernedly.
Michelle arched an eyebrow as she could hear the curiosity in his tone.
"Mind your business, George.I heard that the patient in Room 004 is adamant about changing rooms because she thinks four is an unlucky number.What are you going to do about it?" she snapped.
However, George remained calm.
He leaned closer and smiled.
"If I'm not wrong, didn't the patient in Room 001 come to drop you this morning? He seemed fine a couple of hours ago.What happened to him now?"
Michelle didn't have an answer to his question, for she had the same doubt.
How could a healthy person like Gerard fall ill all of a sudden? ‘Is it true that sickness comes on horseback, but departs on foot?’ A frown lined Michelle's forehead.
She didn't want to see him every day at work.
Things had ended between them, and she didn't have the energy to interact with the people of the Greenwoods.
