Meeting You Was Fate

Chapter 41 Gossip In The Hospital

"Honey, welcome home." Madeline untied the apron and walked out of the kitchen. Her eyes welled up with tears of happiness. She had been cooking since morning and had arranged a whole table spread with delectable dishes. Ever since she saw the news on the television this morning, she had been busy cooking all of Stanley's favorite dishes.

"Don't cry, Madeline. I'm back now. Look, I'm fine. And I promise you that it will never happen again," Stanley raised his right hand as if to assure his wife.

As City A was washed by the golden rays of the afternoon sun, the broken family was finally reunited. They could not stop thanking God at that moment.

In the afternoon, when Mandy went to the hospital, the people in the Cardiology Department were busy discussing Mandy's background.

"Wow, she is the daughter of the president of the Zhou Group! No wonder I always felt that she exuded a regal vibe as if she was from an aristocratic family."

"Yeah, she has a rare sense of dignity and refinement that sets her apart from us."

"These days, Mandy used to remain absent-minded. It turned out that her family was going through a tough time. It's all right now, but... Have you heard about the man who has been arrested, allegedly for framing Mandy's father? It is said that he is her ex-boyfriend. I have also heard that they have been together for the last three years!"

"Yeah, even I have heard that. News about Mandy and her family has gone viral on social media. I have also heard that she is good at playing the piano, and she has won many international awards for it."

"What? Really? I didn't know. She is stupendously talented. I don't know why she still wants to be a doctor. Doctors can't earn much money. Doctors can never earn as much as piano teachers."

"Maybe it is her passion to serve ailing people. She is from a wealthy family, so she can act as per her wish."

During the lunch break, a group of nurses crowded around Cassie as she was the only person Mandy spent most of her time with. The nurses felt that being Mandy's friend, Cassie must know about her friend's drama. However, when Cassie heard the news from others, she felt disappointed.

'Has Mandy ever treated me as her friend? Because if she did, then why didn't she say anything to me?' thought Cassie.

She was indeed offended by Mandy's behavior. A stiff frown set on her face as she kept staring at the door until Mandy came in.

"What are you guys talking about? What's so interesting?" As usual, there was a slight complacent smile on Mandy's beautiful face.

Mandy had overheard what the nurses were talking about.

"Nothing. Nothing at all. We are not talking about you," the nurse hesitated and said, looking bashful. After all, Mandy was respected by the director of the Cardiology Department. If she heard that they were gossiping about her, she might get them in trouble.

"I didn't even say that you are talking about me. Why did you admit it? Besides, even if you're talking about me, I won't mind. You have all been very nice to me ever since I joined this hospital. But for some special reasons, I didn't tell you about my family situation," Mandy admitted the truth very candidly. Since everyone was already talking about her, she felt that she needed to stand up and explain.

"I'm sorry. We shouldn't have gossiped about you behind your back."

"It doesn't matter. Let's go back to work. Don't gather here to chat. Harry will be unhappy if he sees that," Mandy said with a smile as she walked to her desk.

"Well, we will go back to work now." The nurses dispersed. They knew clearly that Mandy had done that to stop them from speculating about her. However, since their hunger for information was quenched, the nurses were happy to focus on work.

"Cass, wait a minute. I have something to tell you." Mandy marked the hint of disappointment in Cassie's eyes. She realized that she might have hurt Cassie.

"Okay," Cassie replied casually and stood there without saying anything.

Mandy walked to the tea room and got a cup of Cassie's favorite coffee for her. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
