After that, Spencer, Lulu, and Nicole exited the room.
"Let's begin." Martin said, his voice calm yet detached.
"Thank you." Icyln replied, thanking him through gritted teeth.
Outside the hospital room, Lulu pulled Nicole aside and lowered her voice, "Don't you find that Icyln's situation is a
little strange?"
"What makes you say that?" Nicole asked, intrigued. 'Did Lulu notice something?'
Then, Lulu recounted what she had observed to Nicole, who also found it puzzling. "Yes, it does seem unusual."
As they had spoken, both of them turned to look at Spencer, as if a realization had dawned upon them.
Feeling a little flustered under their gaze, he asked, "Why are you both looking at me like that?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"It's nothing," they said in unison before exchanging glances.
"Stay here for a moment; we'll be back soon."
Assuming they had something to discuss, Spencer agreed without thinking much of it. "Alright."
After Nicole and Lulu had left, the both of them went to the doctor's office and the nurse's station.
"It's true. She throws up whatever she eats. We've performed many tests on her but found no issues. The
doctor has tried everything he could think of, and nothing has worked," one of the nurses said.
"Yeah, this has led us to suspect that it's a psychological problem,” another added.
"Can't say for sure. Perhaps she's doing it on purpose," another voice chimed in, causing everyone to turn towards
the nurse who had just come out of a room.
"What did you say?" one her colleagues asked.
In response, the third nurse answered, "I'm telling you; I overheard them in her room yesterday. They were saying
things like 'No pain, no gain', and something along the lines of, 'He'll come around only when I'm tough on myself. I
didn't catch all the details, but it definitely sounded fishy.
"Ahem. Don't spout hogwash, Tina," one of her colleagues warned.
"I really heard it, and I am definitely sure," Tina insisted.
The nurse trying to dissuade Tina could only look at Nicole and Lulu awkwardly and say, "Ladies, this is all the
information we have. Perhaps you should consult the doctor again."
Tina suddenly noticed the two individuals standing outside the nurse's station and instinctively, she asked, "Are you
family members of one of our patients? How can I help?"
"They're friends of that patient you just mentioned," another colleague whispered to her.
Overwhelmed by a rush of panic, Tina quickly apologized,"
Sorry, I was just talking nonsense."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe had thought that the other nurses were gossiping about Icyln, not realizing that the women in front of her had
likely enquired her co-workers about it. 'Oh, I'm definitely in trouble. I've been gossiping about the patient behind
her back, and her friends have heard it.'
Lulu instantly beamed. "As long as what you said is true, it's okay. Thank you!"
She then grabbed Nicole's hand and walked away, leaving the few bewildered nurses to stare at each other in
confusion. 'What just happened?'
Back at the entrance of the ward, Martin was standing outside while Spencer had disappeared, indicating that he
must have gone in.
After giving the two of them a quick glance, Martin shook his head in defeat. "Her condition is indeed peculiar. We
can't identify the cause, so it's probably psychological. It's probably a response to her injury."
"Thanks for your help. It's quite late, and I've called you at this hour. You must not have had dinner. Let me treat
you to a meal as a token of my appreciation," Nicole proposed with a faint smile.
After all, it was Nicole who had requested Martin's assistance. It was dinner time for everyone, and since Martin had
made his way here without hesitation, they should not allow him to leave with an empty stomach.
