She was by no means a patient person, but at this moment, she waited outside with the patience of a
saint.
After an unknown amount of time, the door opened with a creak
Just as she was about to stand up, she heard whispers from the staff. “Is the lady a relative of Dr.
Quirk‘s? He takes good care of her. He didn‘t sleep well for several days, always by her side…”
“They‘re not relatives.”
The speaker was a young man in a white coat.
Yvonne recognized him. He was Hayden‘s assistant and a student who happened to be an intern.
He continued, “They‘re friends.”
“Since when?”
“I think they‘ve known each other since childhood.”
“Best friends?”
“Yes. I think so.”
Yvonne‘s heart sank to the bottom of the ocean
She was a girl who grew up with Hayden. Where did this unknown girl come from?
As the two spoke, they lifted their heads and saw Yvonne sitting there.
“Mrs. Quirk...”
Hayden‘s assistants also knew her. When Yvonne had the time, she would mingle with the people
around Hayden, silently claiming her ownership over him.
They all knew her character, and their faces were a little hesitant.
“Are you here for Dr. Quirk?”
Behind them, Hayden heard the sound, raised his head, and looked over.
Yvonne met his gaze, then looked away, smiled, and greeted the assistant and nurse. “I heard from the
nurse on duty that you have been very busy.”
“Yes...”
Inside the ward
The female patient looked at her in surprise, then looked at Hayden and said, “Dr. Quirk, let the nurse
watch over me for the next two days... Mrs. Quirk, she seems very upset.”
“Work is work,” he interrupted her and wrote something in the notebook.
He phrased his words elegantly, then glanced at her report and said something to the assistant doctor on
the side. “I will come again in the afternoon.”
“Okay. Go safely, Dr. Quirk.”
Walking straight to Yvonne, he said, “Let‘s go. I‘ll take you to lunch.”
Yvonne followed him from behind without so much as a twitch on her face.
The two headed to the cafeteria. Along the way, she didn‘t say a word.
Hayden felt a little uncomfortable and gave her a funny look.” When did you become so quiet?”
She was usually very talkative, especially during short journies, and would talk nonstop whenever she
had the chance.
Yvonne, however, responded by giving him only a tight–lipped smile.
But there wasn‘t any sincerity in it.
Hayden noticed something was off with her. “The hospital food is not as good as at home.”
She merely nodded and continued to eat.
He fixedly looked at her. Two swirls had emerged on her head that she didn‘t even notice.
However, he found it very cute.
It was just that she was so quiet, so unlike Yvonne.
With that thought, the doctor curled his fingers and tapped
lightly in front of her desk.
Yvonne raised her head and stared at him blankly. “What?”
“You‘re mad again?” he asked.
