His Real Wedded Bride

Chapter 1200 The Brave Nurse

"He is such a persistent man and has countless things to do. Of course, he knows his body and will

take good care of himself. Even though he always pushes himself, he won't compromise his health for

the sake of his dream. When he is tired, he will take a break. However, when he feels good, he will

work hard on his career and exceed expectations. He will balance work and rest, even if it may take

him longer to finish his work. After all, he doesn't have any other choice," Sheryl explained.

When she noticed a sense of hesitancy on Isla's face, she continued, "Most importantly, as long as he

is busy at work, he will not think about those unpleasant things. That way, he will be positive and

always have a good mood. So, I think it's better for him to leave the hospital than to just lie in the bed

idly. Don't you think?"

Isla surveyed the speaker up and down with curious eyes.

"What? Why are you looking at me like that?" Sheryl asked, noticing Isla's stare and feeling rather

uneasy.

"Well, I was just wondering when you became a thinker. You made a very good point. I'm quite

surprised," Isla remarked in a teasing tone.

Disbelief was written all over her face.

"Isla, why are you making a big deal of this? I'm not dumb, you know? I actually have a brain. Didn't

you know that?" Sheryl snapped in a triumphant tone while she proceeded to glare at Isla.

"Oh, now don't be like that. Come on, Sher. Relax... Let's go inside," Isla said with a resigned look on

her face. 'What on earth came over her? Is this really my best friend, Sher? It's unlike her to be this

opinionated and defensive. Did she have a bad day?' A barrage of questions ran through Isla's mind.

Isla and Sheryl entered the ward. Fixing her eyes on the patient, she offered, "Where are your things?

I'll help you collect them." Evidently, Isla was persuaded by Sheryl.

"It's over there. Thank you," Nick replied in a joyous tone as he pointed at his belongings. Nick was

oblivious. He didn't hear Sheryl and Isla's conversation outside of his ward. Nevertheless, he knew that

Sheryl convinced Isla to change her mind. Above all else, he was grateful and wanted to thank Sheryl.

As he wanted to do so, he shifted his gaze from Isla to Sheryl. Meeting his grateful eyes, Sheryl smiled

at him.

Nick nodded at her as a means to show her gratitude.

Isla was a rather efficient person. It only took her several minutes to pack all of Nick's things. "My job is

done here. Did you complete the discharging formality documents?" Isla asked the patient.

"Oh, I'll get it," Sheryl offered as she watched Nick shake his head at Isla. 'Since Isla helped him gather

his stuff, I should probably do something for him too, ' she thought.

"Okay...Well, you better hurry up. Otherwise, you will have to wait in line for a long time," Isla advised.

With the birth of her daughter, Amanda, Isla got used to having to bring her ill daughter to the hospital.

So, she knew exactly how to deal with hospital procedures.

Amanda had a fever the other night. Luckily she managed to recover quickly after taking medicine,

which set Isla's mind at ease.

It took Sheryl until noon to finish all the procedures and return to the ward. Nick had been in the

hospital for nearly a week. Although he hadn't recovered yet, he still managed to walk. He didn't look

like a patient anymore. The three of them managed to leave the hospital quickly.

"Sheryl, Isla, I'm fine. I can take a taxi home. You don't have to give me a ride," Nick said as they stood

together outside the hospital. 'I can get home by myself. I don't want to bother them any longer.

After all, I already owe them a lot, ' he mulled.

"Don't be silly! It's perfectly fine. Where do you live? Perhaps I can give you a lift," Isla blurted out

generously.

"Let me guess...No matter what my answer is, you will just continue to say that you happen to be going

in the exact same direction as me, won't you?" Nick grinned. 'It's so good to be taken care of by them.

It has been a long time since someone treated me so well, ' he thought, feeling touched inside. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

"Is it that obvious? Yes, you understand me," Isla returned, as she flashed the young man an

embarrassing, yet sweet smile. 'No matter what he says, I will take him home and that's final, ' she

resolved.

"Well, fine then. Let's go. I will take the passenger seat and tell you the way to my house," Nick

complied. He opened the door and got into Isla's car.

"Good, that'll be helpful," Isla said with an approving smile.

Watching the two leave, Sheryl smiled. As she was about to get inside the car, she heard someone's

voice from behind. "Wait..."

She paused, immediately turned around and saw the young nurse who volunteered to attend to Nick

that night.

Nick saw her through the car's rear-view mirror. He hurried out of the car and put on a slight smile. "Oh,

hi. I intended to say goodbye to you before I left, but your colleague said that you were not there," he

said to the nurse.

"Oh, no. I knew you were leaving. They called me..." the nurse nodded.

"So, you came here just to see me?" Nick asked, moved by her behavior. The memory of them staying

alone in the ward that night remained vivid in his mind. He would never forget that night since it was the

first night he had spent in the hospital after his operation. Meanwhile, he was badly in need of people's

help.

Hearing his question, the nurse blushed. She shook her head as she explained, "No, you got me all

wrong. I actually came here to replace my colleague as she had to leave work suddenly. She called me

and asked me to cover for her and mentioned that you were discharged today."

Her explanation seemed convincing. Even so, it didn't make any sense whatsoever. Now, of course, no

one wanted to figure out whether or not she was telling a lie.

However, even though she fooled him, she failed to fool Sheryl and Isla, who both knew that she had a

thing for the attractive young man.

Even though she came up with a story to counter her feelings, Nick sensed the nurse' admiration for

him. He felt pleased, as he also had feelings for her. Nevertheless, he was broke and his career was a

mess. That was why he hid all of his emotions. Compared to the nurse, he behaved way more

reserved. He said flatly, "Oh, okay. Thank you for taking care of me that night. I appreciate it. Bye!"

Without granting himself any chance to change his mind, he turned around and walked towards the car.

He was afraid that he might lose control of himself and expose his true feelings towards her.

"Nick!" the nurse called out.

Nick paused and stood still. It was almost like his shoes were glued to the ground.

"I attended to you the entire night, Nick. Don't you think you should at least know my name?" the nurse

continued desperately. She was aware that she would lose contact with him unless she told him

something about herself.

"Okay, what's your name?" Nick asked in an indifferent tone without turning around to look at the

beautiful girl.

From where Sheryl stood, she could see Nick's unpleasant facial expression. Tears began to form in

the corners of his eyes, but he managed to keep them from falling.

The nurse could tell Nick exuding a rather distant and indifferent aura. 'When he got out of the car, he

was so nice to me and I could sense that he was indeed pleased to see me.

That's why I mustered up the courage to pursue my feelings for him, ' she thought.

"Give me your phone!" the nurse demanded as she stumbled closer to him, halted in front of him and

held out her hand.

"My cellphone is going to die!" Nick refused.

"Give me your cellphone right this second. I won't take no for an answer," the nurse insisted.
