Trapped with a Doctor
Chapter 88 I'm Also A Hospital Director's Daughter

After drinking her milk, Angela gaped at Arvin. "What can I do?"

"My daily meals!" If he worked, she would get to be his housewife and prepare meals for him.

Angela giggled at this, but her face changed rapidly when she realised its implications.

"It's impossible!"

Arvin gave her a tissue. He halted and said, "What about the research room...?"

"Fine, deal!"

Wearing a jogging suit, Angela hummed on her way to the VVIP Inpatient Department.

Xenia was getting changed. She looked at Angela curiously, "Eh? Angela, you are in an extremely good mood today!"

"Right you are!" she said without hesitation.

Though they may not have a viable future, Angela still felt happy when she was with Arvin.

Lucy came over to Xenia. "Angela seems so radiant today. She must be in love!"

Xenia pulled on her uniform and suddenly understood. "Oh! That's it! Angela," she called. "What does your boyfriend look like? You must take us too see him someday!"

Their teasing caused Angela's face to go red. "It's not like that! You're overthinking! Get changed, quickly!"

...

Nancy wasn't in yet. Nothing had been explained to her still. The last time she spoken to her, she let her know she was coming over. That's when Arvin pulled her away. How would she react when she would hear the news?

Angela was on the point of phoning her when Nancy's gentle and familiar voice came trilling through the dressing room. "Oh, Angela!"

"Nancy! My dear Nancy!" Angela ran to her and kissed her on her cheeks.

Lucy shook her head, spotting the opportunity for a joke. "Angela, is Nancy your boyfriend?"

They smiled at each other. "Yes! You're right!"

Lucy rubbed the goose bumps that appeared on her arms. "Come on! There you go again! Hurry up and get changed. It's time to call the roll!"

"Hahahaha!"

... The dressing room was filled with laughter.

After the morning meeting, Lucy took Angela to visit the patient in the third ward. But she didn't stay for long, because Nancy called her away. "Angela, Winnie is looking for you!" Nancy covered for Angela as she made her way to Winnie's office.

When she arrived, Winnie gave her a medical record and told her, "We received a patient this morning. She is now at the sixth ward and she asked you to be her nurse specifically." Specifically? Angela looked over the medical record. When she saw the patient's name, she couldn't believe her eyes.

Lulu Gu.

Her case history showed that she was suffering dyspnea, dizziness, and hypodynamia...

Angela was not stupid, she had seen through her trick at a glance.

She had used the same trick when she was six years old. At that time, in order to have more time with her father, she had feigned illness to stay in the hospital.

When Sven asked what was wrong, she put down a story about sore legs and an upset stomach, despite no ostensible cause.

It was apparent that Lulu was out to get her.

"Can I say no?" Winnie did not tolerate slackers.

"No, you can't!" Winnie turned her down definitively. "She is the youngest daughter of the director. You must take good care of her!"

Angela curled her lips inward to show her scorn. 'I'm also a hospital director's daughter!'

Again, Angela felt there must be something wrong with her brain. Why didn't she just stay at her father's hospital instead of coming here, to Yao Hospital, where life was nothing but suffering. From Randal to Arvin! From Arvin to Teresa! From Teresa to Nita! From Nita to Lulu...

"Ah!" she sighed deeply.

Winnie looked at Angela seriously and asked, "Angela, why are you sighing? Just go! The director is bound to come to the sixth ward. Gather yourself up!"

At the sixth ward

The customary white sheets of the hospital beds had been replaced by obnoxiously garish purple ones, Lulu's favorite color. Everything was purple here: the purple bed set, the purple tablecloth, and the purple sofa cover...

Three maids wearing the same uniforms were standing beside the bed, waiting for Lulu's orders.

Angela pointed her chin up as if thinking of something. Though she was also a hospital director's daughter, Lulu seemed more capricious than her.

When she was in hospital, she had never acted immodestly. Everything here was extravagant, large, and loud.

Lulu raised her chin arrogantly when she saw Angela. She asked impolitely, "Why are you so late?" She had been here for hours, having gotten up very early, just to make this bogus visit.

"It's none of your business!" Angela replied. "I wasn't even late for work."

Lulu knew she was right, so she gave Angela a hard look. Then she told the maids, "You can go back now. Angela can take care of me."

"Yes, Miss!" The maids filed out one by one.

Angela looked on in disbelief. "Are you going to tell me that you want me to stay here and take care of you alone?"

"That's right! Go and get me some water!"

Angela cast a sidelong glance at her and rolled her eyes. But she was a nurse first, above all, and she had inviolable duties to fulfill. To avoid wasteful water usage, she filled a paper cup one third of the way from the cooler.

She passed it to Lulu.

Lulu nodded her head to show satisfaction. She took over the glass and had a sip of water, "Puff... Angela, are you trying to kill me? It's so hot..." Crash! The glass burst into smithereens.

"Hot? I'm so sorry. I forgot to taste it before." But no indication of human feeling came from Angela's face. She was confidently cheerful.

Lulu was so angry, she pointed to Angela's nose. "Angela, you're so disguesting. I'm telling you, Arvin will never like someone like you! He likes girls who are slim and good-natured, like Nita! Be realistic and leave him now!"

Slim and good-natured? That sounded more like something his mother liked, not him.

"I see. If you're right, tell Arvin to say it to me in person. If he tells me that he hates me and he doesn't want to see me anymore, then I'll leave the hospital right away! No - scratch that - not the hospital. I will leave the city!" Angela meant it. If Arvin despised her, the constant resentment and pressure of this city would evaporate, and she would have nothing to hold her here. The suffering could end.

"Y-y- you..." Lulu was pissed. But she didn't know what to say. The only thing she could do was to point her finger straight at Angela, but even that was trembling.

At last, she tried the last resort, "Have you heard about Rosa?"

Angela was dumbfounded. Thanks to Lulu, she had heard this name twice since last night!

"Do you know her? She was a skilled musician, an expert at the guzheng! She held a world tour at her sixteen years old! Oh, what dreamy music she used to play. She was so glamorous, so tender, virtuous, and good-natured. If she had been in good health, she would have been famous! But I'm not going to talk about Rosa," said Lulu, pouting.

"But you must have heard about Nita. You're a medical student, you must know how esteemed she is in the medical community! Look at her mighty achievements. She's the director of the gynecology and obstetrics department right here in the Yao Hospital. All this, and she's not even thirty. How about you, Angela? You're twenty three years old now, and you're just a student nurse. What are you going to do? What will you achieve," she scoffed. "Nothing, that's what. Do you think someone as inexperienced as you deserves Arvin's love?"
