Trapped with a Doctor
Chapter 127 What Did You Just Call Me

"We are moving towards the inpatient department. We have to see a patient there. You can wait for us there," said Chuck, still talking to Angela on the phone.

Angela started walking towards the inpatient department. She suddenly realized something. All the people in the inpatient department were familiar with her. If she were to be seen with Chuck over there, then her colleagues would figure out her real identity.

"Is anything wrong?" Chuck asked Angela, when he didn't get a reply from her. "What? Does your daddy need to make an appointment in advance if he wants to see you? Or must he go to see you instead?" Chuck was a little unhappy. He thought that Angela did not want to meet him.

Angela shook her head at once. "No, Daddy! It's not like that," she said rolling her eyes. "I'll be there."

"Okay, my sweet girl! Hurry up and don't be late. Daddy can't wait to see you." Chuck said happily and disconnected the call.

Her father was accompanied by a group of people.

Outside the inpatient department...

Angela was waiting outside the inpatient department. After a few minutes, she saw a group of people walking towards her.

Hogan and Chuck lead the whole group with their wives besides them. They were followed by Sven and Arvin.

Behind them were the directors and professors from different departments. All of them came here together to visit a special patient at the hospital. They were to discuss the patient's treatment together. If they managed to cure the patient, it would be big news in the medical field.

As the group approached the inpatient department, Chuck at once noticed Angela waiting for them. Angela felt embarrassed when she saw such a huge group of people coming. All of them would now come to know her real identity. And to top it all, her mother would also see this! Restraining her emotions, Angela cleared her throat and reverently greeted them one by one. "Hello, Mr. Hogan, Mr. Chuck, Mrs. Daisy, Mrs. Teresa, Mr. Sven, Mr. Arvin... A very good morning to all of you."

Hogan was amused by Angela. He turned to Chuck and said, "You are lucky to have such a cute daughter!"

Chuck didn't reply. He was amazed at how Angela had addressed him. He waved Angela over. "Come here Angela! What did you just call me?" he asked.

Sven followed his father. He also waved like his father and asked Angela what did she call him.

Angela was staring at Arvin's brand-new shoes and she cast a glance of contempt in Sven's direction when she heard him say the same words as her Dad's. "Dad! Mom! Brother!" Angela looked up and nodded her head at each in turn, admitting her real identity.

The rest of the group were surprised when they learnt that Angela was Chuck's daughter.

Angela then ran to her father and gave him a big hug. She was very pleased that he had come here to see her.

Although there were no special expressions on Chuck's face, everyone could tell that he was very happy to be hugged by his daughter.

Daisy also came forward and hugged Angela. "How are you, my daughter? Is it easy to live here?" she asked her.

Of course it was easy, Angela enthusiastically nodded her head. "Yes, Mom. Mr. Hogan and Mrs. Teresa are very friendly to me, and... Mr. Arvin here has proved to be a good friend. Don't worry about me, Mom!" she explained.

"Good to hear that and I should thank the Gu family then." Daisy put her arm around Angela's shoulder and turned to face Hogan and Teresa. She smiled from ear to ear.

Hogan smiled back and said, "Angela is very sweet. All of us like her a lot." Especially his son, Arvin. He's crazy about her, he thought but did not say it aloud.

When Arvin and Angela's eyes met, Angela immediately blushed.

Daisy noticed Angela's reaction. She thought a while and then made a little announcement. "Mr. Hogan, as your family has been taking good care of Angela and made her feel at home, we would like to invite your family to lunch to express our heartfelt gratitude."

Teresa looked at Nita, who looked unhappy. She then turned to Daisy. "It was our duty to help Angela and we were pleased to do so," she said with a little embarrassment. "You are our guests. And as hosts, we should invite you to lunch."

Teresa wanted to talk to Daisy about Angela and Arvin. But as Angela had suddenly moved out of Arvin's apartment and Arvin had had sex with Nita, she didn't know what to say to Daisy about their relationship.

Angela looked around. She felt disappointed by the fact that Arvin's family treated hers as unfamiliar guests. Although she had had sex with Arvin, her relationship with him didn't get better. Instead, it seemed to worsen. Hogan approved of Teresa's invitation. "Yes, that would be nice. I'll immediately book a table at the restaurant."

Angela was sure that Hogan would also invite the others in this group, including Nita, to have lunch together. She didn't want to see Nita and Teresa together. It would be too much for her to handle. Angela turned towards Daisy and said, "Mom, I am so sorry but I can't come to lunch with you as I have some important work to attend to at noon."

Daisy glared at her with dissatisfaction in her eyes. She had proposed the lunch with Arvin's family for Angela's sake. But, Angela refused the offer to have lunch! "What will you do at noon that is so important? No matter how busy you are, you need to eat!"

Not giving Angela another chance to refuse the invitation, she told the others, "I know nothing about medicine and I came here only to see my daughter. You guys carry on and I'll take her to the restaurant after she finishes her work."

"All right. Angela, why don't you show the hospital to your mother." Hogan kindly told Angela. He liked the girl a lot and did not want her to get upset about anything.

Angela nodded her head. "Sure, Mr. Hogan."

Angela couldn't help looking at Arvin, who had been unusually silent. When their eyes met again, both of them averted their gaze. Neither of them felt able to face each other in front of so many people. Nita were pretending to check her cellphone, but her eyes were full of dissatisfaction.

She was confused. She could not fathom why the Gu family members still fussed over Angela when they knew that Arvin had slept with her. On top of that, they had completely ignored her at the club last night and even here at the hospital.

The harmonious relationship between the two families seemed to demonstrate that they might get Angela and Arvin married.

Married? Ha! She wouldn't let that happen at any cost!

When the group moved on and entered the inpatient department, Teresa pulled Arvin's arm to hold him back. "Arv, don't get too intimate with Angela when the Si Family is present. Got it?" she whispered. Arvin glanced at Teresa indifferently and kept quiet.

"You need to care about Nita now. If you show your enthusiasm about Angela, her parents will misunderstand your relationship. Then how will you marry Nita?"

Arvin became very unhappy when he heard his mother's words. "I will not marry Nita!" he angrily said.

"How dare you, Arvin! Why can't you take Nita's responsibility after all that has happened?" She had talked about this with Arvin several times and he said he did not want to be with Nita every time. "Mom, please stop talking about this." Arvin didn't give Teresa the time to reply. He started walking very fast to join the group.

Teresa was so angry with her son's indifference and irresponsibility.

She knew that Arvin was an indifferent man, but she had never expected him to be so irresponsible. How could she persuade him to marry Nita if he kept acting like this?

Angela and Daisy were walking arm-in-arm on the road outside the hospital. "Angela, I can't see any difference between Yao Hospital and our Chengyang Private Hospital. So, why don't you come back to our hospital?" she asked.
