Chapter 9 Won’t Read Too Much Into t
A romantic atmosphere wasn’t something people created on purpose. It was a Beeting moment where the spark of deure for another was ignited
For a split second, ingaid thought of that night. She clenched her fingers but kept her voice steady.
“I’m a simple person. I don’t want trouble
sell, and I don’t want trouble for the people who help me. Right now, neither of us is in trouble, so there’s no reason to be upset.”
Jasper uttered. “Just now, you said that I should stay, and you leave)”
His voice was low and easing Ingrideould almost see a snake flicking its tongue, slowly slithering toward her
She snapped back to her senses. “I may be a simple person, but in not shameless enough to let you take the fall for
Jasper asked, “So, does that mean we’ve been through thick and slin together time“”
The phone was warm against her eat Ingrid answered without thinking, “If you think so, then yes. We’re friends who’ve been through thick and thin, Dr. Cliffo
Jasper chuckled “Alright then. Now you can finally get some rest. Sleep well.”
After saying goodbye, Ingrid ended the call. The moment she put her phone down, her body instinctively ceased. It was only then that she realized she had been tense the entire time. Jasper worldhave known the situation inside the operating room long before anyone else. So why had he told her so early? Did he really just want her to sleep better? –
Lying in bed, Ingrid felt exhausted, yet sleep wouldn’t come. Only when sheer fatigue overwhelmed her did she manage to dore off for a few hours.
When she opened her eyes again, the sun was setting, casting dim light across the room. Her surroundings blended eerily with the images from her dream
In the dram, Jasper was madly in love with her. But knowing that she loved tranden, he locked her in a room. They argued endlessly, day and night.
Ingrid found it ridiculous In real life, they had only been together for one night. Did he really have to turn it into so kind of tortured love story, even in her dreams? She would never forget what Brandon had once said to Zelda “Afling, okay? Are you satisfied now!
Even Brandon had never wanted a relationship with her, so why would Jasper?
No matter what Jasper’s reasons were for helping her, she was grateful and would remember
- es. However, she would always remind herself to never
Ingrid’s shift usually started at midnight, but the moment she woke up, she saw a floode concern for her. There were even inquiries from her superiors
ges from her department, Some colleagues just wanted to gossip, while some showed
After freshening up, she arrived at the inpatient department a line after six in the evening. The moment her colleagues saw her, they armed around her
It wasn’t that she had been unpopular before, but now their enthusiasm felt excessive. It was almost unsettling
Ten minutes laces, she was called into Ainsley’s office,
Thankfully, Jasper had given her a heath–up. Otherwise, if Ainsley had suddenly stated checking in on her well–being–almost to the point of giving her a check–up–she might have thought her days were numbered
During their conversation, Ingrid learned that the department head nurse had already resigned.
Ainley felt guilty. “This past year, I’ve been so focused on surgeries that I’ve neglected the day–to–day operations of the department. That’s on me.
Ingrid quickly tried to smooth things over.
Ambey continued, “Dr. Clifford gave everyone a wake–up call this It’s not just about technical skill–we also need to uphold our principles
“Il a person can’t even conduct themselves properly, then no matter how competent they are, what’s the point? No one should have to work in an environment where they feel miserable.”
Ingrid wasn’t naive. The reason she was sitting in Ainsley’s office today wasn’t because of her own abilities. It was because she had benefited from Jasper’s influence.
After the meeting, Ingrid went to wait for the elevator
When the doors opened, Brandon was standing inside. I was about to leave, seeing as he had changed into casual clothes.
Almost instinctively, Ingrid said, “You go ahead for the one
Brandon stated at her without pressing the close buttos. Two sends later, he stepped out of the elevator.
