Sweet Twins

Chapter 624 Chicken Wings

If the medicine hadn't been tampered, what went wrong?

In the end, Nancy asked the nurse to put Nana on a drip, while she bandaged Rick's wound.

As she did this, she repeatedly apologized to Rick.

"You don't have to say sorry. Just treat me to a meal," Rick said half-jokingly.

"Well, if that’s what you want, I'm certainly honored." A small smile appeared on Nancy’s face.

"I should be the one saying that. It's an honor to have a meal with Director Nancy."

"I'm flattered, Dr. Rick. Let's go out for a meal after Nana settles down."

Nancy’s face heated in embarrassment. "I totally agree."

Nancy smiled at him.

It was not until Nana had an intravenous drip that Nancy and Rick walked out of the room together.

"It's time for lunch. What do you want to eat?" As an apology, Nancy had to treat him to a meal like he had asked.

"I heard that there’s a place in this city that is good at making chicken wings. Would you like to have a try? I think they taste good. I wonder if you would like it." There was a hint of excitement in Rick’s eyes as he spoke.

"Okay, let’s try those chicken wings today." After Rick had helped her a lot, how could Nancy disappoint him? He was a renowned psychiatrist and many patients came to see him. Nancy was really grateful for all his help, and the least thing she could do was to buy him a meal.

"Let’s go. I’ll drive, and you’ll pay for our food." After saying this, Rick grinned widely as if his college days came back to him.

It was like he had been taken back to the days when he was young and full of energy.

Seeing the look on his face, Nancy said playfully, "Well, although my salary is a little lower than yours, it won’t be a problem to invite you on lunch."

For a moment, Rick was in a trance. He stared at Nancy with an unreadable expression in his eyes which made Nancy a little uncomfortable. So Nancy cleared her throat and smoothed her hair. "Let's go."

Her voice brought Rick back to reality. With an awkward smile, he said, "Let’s go."

Then they walked towards the elevator together.

Meanwhile, Charles was sitting beside Nadia’s bed in the gastroenterology department.

After seeing Nadia vomit, Charles got so worried that he sweated heavily. How could such a child eat food that was good for two people?

"Mr. Fu, your family has provided too much food for the child. What if it hurts the child's stomach? She is still so young. How can you let her eat whatever she wants?" The doctor couldn’t help but scold Charles as she looked at Nadia’s pained expression.

It was true that Nadia liked eating, but she had never been unrestrained like this before. They were very particular with the children’s health. "Nadia, tell me what happened."

"I..." When she thought of Bobby’s fiery eyes, Nadia felt afraid to tell the truth.

"Is your Mommy afraid of starving you?" Anger rose in his heart when he realized that Nancy wasn’t here to look after Nadia.

Where was Nancy?

Didn't she know how much her own child could eat?

Shaking her head, Nadia said, "It's not Mommy's fault."

"If it’s not Mommy’s fault, then it's your fault. Why do you still eat even when you’re already full?" Charles sneered.

"No. I didn’t want to eat, but Bobby forced me to. If I don't eat, he will make me a little puppy." Left without a choice, Nadia told the truth with her voice full of grievance.

When he heard this, Charles felt amused and angry at the same time. "Nadia, what were you thinking? Can you be a puppy just because he asked you to be a puppy?"

"I know he can't turn me into a puppy. But Bobby told me to learn how to run and bark like a puppy, so I tried my best to eat and eat..." Tears welled up in her big dough eyes.

Seeing her cry made Charles sigh. He held Nadia in his arms and asked softly, "Did Mommy know that you have eaten so much?"

Uncertain, Nadia nodded and then shook her head. "I think Mommy knew, or maybe she didn't."

"Why do you say that?" Even Charles was confused with what Nadia meant.

"Because Mommy was busy. She didn't see Bobby bully me..."

"Did Bobby eat anything this morning?" Charles asked again.

After thinking for a while, Nadia replied, "Yes. He ate Mommy's breakfast."

At this moment, Charles' face darkened. Nancy knew that Nadia had two meals, so she had let Bobby eat her own breakfast. Why didn't she think that Nadia was still too young to eat that much? How could she let it happen? Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Well, things couldn't be undone. But now that Nadia was suffering from vomiting, as a mother, how could she ignore it?

Was her patient more important than her own child?

"Nadia, be a good girl and wait for me here. I'm going to check if Mommy has finished the operation so she could accompany you." Although he was annoyed, he managed to talk to Nadia in a soft voice.

"What about you? Where are you going?" Sadness crossed Nadia’s eyes when she remembered that her parents weren’t together anymore.

With a smile, Charles replied, "Mommy and I have nothing to do today. Let's focus on you, okay?"

In an instant, Nadia's big eyes twinkled in excitement, like the brightest stars in the night sky.

"That's great. Nadia likes Daddy and Mommy to be with me. As long as Daddy and Mommy are here, I will be healthy and I will become the happiest child in the world." Then she clapped her hands happily.

"Okay, Daddy is going to find Mommy now." Watching Nadia's reaction, Charles felt a little sad in his heart.

How could he not feel sad? His daughter had such a simple wish, but he couldn’t fulfil it because Nancy didn’t want to.

Every day, Nancy was busy taking care of other people's children, yet she couldn't take care of her own children.

In order to pursue her passion, she could ignore them.

It was selfish, wasn't it?

Why were there so many high sounding reasons?

The more Charles thought about it, the angrier he became. After planting a soft kiss on Nadia’s forehead, he went out of the room to find Nancy.

The director of the gastroenterology department sighed and shook his head. "Well, that's how a doctor is. He can't take care of his patient and his family at the same time. Alas, it has always been like this."

When Charles entered Nancy’s office, it was empty.

So, he came out to ask Erin at the nurse station. "Where is your director?"

"Oh, Mr. Fu, Director Nancy is in Nana's room. Nana is very noisy today, so Director Nancy hasn't come back yet," said Erin.

Without saying a word, Charles went straight to Nana's room.

'Nancy, even if there is any inside story about the club, it should be investigated by the police. Aren't you tired of looking after Nana?'

Thinking of this, Charles couldn't help but feel dejected. Until now, he still couldn't understand Nancy. She was greatly affected by the suffering she had witnessed in the club.

It was impossible for her to believe that there was such a dirty trade in the society ruled by law. It was abuse and disrespect for women. Nancy was not a feminist, but she just couldn't bear to see a woman

being unscrupulously abused by men.

Men and women were born to be free. Everyone deserved to be respected, not to be insulted or trampled wantonly.

Shouldn't those who did bad things pay the price?

Yes. All Nancy wanted to do was to make those bad guys pay for what they had done, but Charles couldn’t support her on this matter.

Charles rushed to Nana's room, but he still didn't see Nancy.

Therefore, he went back to the nurse station and slapped the desk. "Where is Nancy?"

The nurse was so frightened that she stammered, "Mr. Fu, Director Nancy... She just left with Dr. Rick."

"Rick?" At the mention of this name, Charles' forehead creased. He had heard of this name from Hiram, and he had his background checked. But today, he didn't expect that Nancy would be with Rick again. Was Rick the handsome and tall guy?
