Trapped with a Doctor novel Chapter 103

He touched her gauze gently with his rough hand and said, "Don't be so silly next time!"

He remembered how she had been wounded trying nobly to protect Angela. Before she was stabbed, he used to consider her a narrow-minded person, but now, he had seen the good and righteous part of her.

Nancy shook her head. "No. It was Angela. She was too silly. She could totally have left me alone in danger, but she didn't..." Instead, to protect her, Angela let herself get wounded. How could she run away and leave Angela alone?

Stanley made no answer. He simply lifted her to his chest, and walked towards the washroom.

The ward was very close to the washroom. Nancy felt a boost of happiness.

He put her near the toilet carefully, so that Nancy could lean her whole body on him.

He could not leave, so he just closed his eyes and said, "You... go on. I'll turned away."

Nancy was so embarrassed she had no idea what to do. If she refused Stanley, he would definitely think she felt awkward.

So she took off the hospital pants quickly and sat on the toilet. She told Stanley, "You may go out now."

"Okay. Call me when you finish!" Stanley also felt rather embarrassed when he thought of Nancy and what she was doing right now...

She closed her eyes and didn't open them until she could be sure that he had turned around.

Two minutes later, Stanley heard the sound of toilet flushing. "I'm done!"

Stanley opened the door and walked in with his eyes closed, which teased out a giggle from Nancy. "You don't have to close your eyes."

Her permission cemented his conviction and so he drew closer to her, his eyes wide open.

It turned out Nancy had already dressed with difficulty. Stanley noticed that her face was even paler. He thought she must had been working very hard to stand up just now.

He carried her waif-like body back to the ward without a word. Before they reached the bed, someone new opened the door.

Stanley first caught sight of her long burgundy hair. Nancy's look changed immediately when she saw her.

She wore a short pea-green coat with a white dress underneath, and black silk stockings. The crystal high heels she wore were were a limited edition.

It was Grace.

Nancy loosened her hands which circled Stanley's neck and tried to explain. "I... just asked him to do me a favor... Don't..."

Stanley was a little confused when he saw her acting this way. She seemed to be making excuses to Grace.

Why? Was it because she didn't want to be trapped in any relationship with him, or was it because of Grace... Did Grace trouble her?

Grace's face also changed. She tried to half-smile to obscure the lie. "It's okay, Nancy. I know it aches. It's inconvenient for you to do anything by yourself."

Grace was never a tender woman, but she knew Stanley liked Nancy for her tenderness. So she deliberately tried to imitate her personality.

Stanley placed Nancy on the bed and told her. "You two have a chat. I have to go now. I still have work to do."

'He's leaving again...' Nancy felt heartbroken.

His arrival had been such a gift to her. "Okay. Be careful on your way back."

Stanley nodded at them and was about to leave. Suddenly, the door of the ward banged vigorously.

A tremendous sound was given forth when the door was slammed on the wall, making the three people startled.

A woman rushed into the room. Still breathless, she said, "Nancy... Nancy... I'm here to help you!" She took a deep breath! She was so exhausted!

Nancy glanced at her and let out a sigh. "Angela, what are you hurrying for? Come here. Take a break and have a drink."

"No!" Angela refused. Then, she went to Grace and asked her directly. "Why are you here?"

Angela had decided not to disturb Arvin who always busy as a bee, and prepared to return to her apartment.

But when she passed by the inpatient department, she couldn't believe her eyes. Grace was here. The woman who had always bullied Nancy.

Others might not knew the real Grace, but Angela did. Grace was a born pretender.

She acted as if she was good to Nancy, but actually, she often bullied her!

She could never allow Grace to bully Nancy anymore!

When Grace saw Angela was coming for her, she suddenly felt overwhelmed. That snotty girl was not only eccentric but also dared to do anything!

"Angela, I heard my sister was hurt, so I came to see how she is."

"What's there to see? Nancy doesn't need you. Get out of here!" She was pretending to be a nice person, but Angela wouldn't buy that. She knew how evil-minded she was!

Grace fell under the interrogatory glare of Angela, much to her embarrassment. She blushed, but she tried to keep smiling. "I'm here to see my sister. How does that bother you? I'm afraid the way you act is just a little indecent."

"Yeah, I may not be treating you properly, but after what you've done to Nancy, I think it's only fair. Get out. Now! If you ever dare bully Nancy again, you'll get it, see!" Angela tugged Grace's hand to drive her away.

Grace was so irritated that she felt a headache coming on. Angela was such trouble! She was always in the way whenever she planned to bully Nancy!

"Angela. Don't get me wrong. Nancy is my sister. How would it be possible for me to bully her?" She had to hold herself back while Stanley was there, even if that meant swallowing her insults.

Angela glanced at her disdainfully. "Get you wrong? You are disgusting. I didn't know why Stanley doesn't like Nancy before, but now, I finally know why!" It was not because Stanley didn't like Nancy, but because of Grace. She was creating difficulties for them deliberately!

After Angela left the hospital earlier, she went back to Arvin, and she asked him who Stanley was actually enamored with.

Yet, although Arvin was Stanley's buddy, he had no information on his personal relationships.

But he did remember one thing. It was on Nancy's birthday, after she threw away his birthday gift, that Stanley got drunk in a bar.

He nursed a hollow grief when Nancy was wounded. Arvin deduced that Stanley was actually in love with Nancy by this token.

Conservative as Arvin was, he was forced to speak out on this subject. Then, they tried to analyze the reasons why Stanley and Nancy hadn't dated. Finally, they found the root cause!

It was Grace. She was a troublemaker!

Stanley just listened quietly to every word Angela was saying, and he stared at Grace to observe every subtle expression of hers.
