"Mom, we need to stay calm during this period of time. We can't let Grandpa find out what
we're up to," said Pierre.
Based on what Old Master Mallory had said, he should not do anything that would go too
far to avoid arousing suspicion.
"I know. Don't worry. Old Master Mallory is focused on helping you to deal with your
matters. He won't pay much attention to what I'm doing," reassured Karen.
A knocking sound echoed in the hospital ward. Pierre reluctantly looked toward the door.
Karen turned to look at the door too.
Sunny knocked on the door before pushing it open. Then, she said to the visitor in the
wardroom, "Excuse me, it's already ten o'clock at night. It's past the visiting hours. Please
leave as soon as possible."
Since Pierre had a caretaker, no one else was allowed to stay overnight here.
If she did not notify them, they would be in violation of the hospital regulations.
"Okay. I got it." Karen withdrew her gaze, tucked Pierre's blanket, and left hesitantly.
Sunny could not help but mutter to herself when she saw Karen. Pierre had just broken a
leg. There was no need to show such reluctance to leave...
After Karen left the wardroom, Sunny closed the door, planning to head toward the nurses'
station. However, she noticed that the moment Karen left the ward, she took out a hat and
mask from her designer handbag.
It seemed like she did not want to be recognized, just like Old Master Mallory.
It seemed that the Mallory family was very careful in protecting Pierre.
Sunny mumbled to herself and recalled Pierre's gaze just now. She could not have
mistaken the look on his face. That man had lewd intentions.
She was reluctant to be Pierre's nurse now, but the fact that Pierre was in the hospital was
confidential information.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEven if she complained to the hospital director, he would not replace her and let the other
nurses or the head nurse take over her shift.
Sunny felt helpless. After all, being wealthy did not necessarily equate to having good
manners.
Now that Pierre could not leave the hospital, and it was impossible to change his nurses.
Sunny could only be grateful that he had a broken leg. He would not be able to move or do
anything to her at the moment...
Perverted old men and wealthy heirs were equally disgusting.
While Sunny was consumed by these thoughts, Karen suddenly turned back and handed
her a business card.
"Are you my son's attending nurse?" Karen sized Sunny up without much expression on
her face. She was merely scrutinizing her.
Sunny was stunned for a moment. Then, she lowered her head and glanced at the
business card in her hand. She saw the name Karen Ruiz.
Sunny looked up, nodded, and replied, "Yes, Madam Mallory. The head nurse and I are Mr.
Pierre's attending nurses."
Madam Mallory glanced at Sunny's name badge that read Sunny Arlyn and took note of
the name.
"Keep my business card. Call me immediately if anything happens to Pierre," said Karen.
She was worried that the hospital would only inform Old Master Mallory and he would not
tell her about it.
She needed to know Pierre's situation.
"Alright, Madam Mallory." Sunny nodded and agreed. Still, she could not help thinking that
the Mallory family was indeed peculiar.
"Please inform the head nurse as well. Inform me if anything happens. I'll file a complaint
with your hospital's administration if I find out that you didn't," Karen threatened her
before turning away and leaving.
Sunny returned to the nurses' station, silently watching Karen from behind.
She was not afraid of Karen lodging a complaint against them.
The Mallory family was keeping Pierre hidden away securely. If Karen complained, it would
expose Pierre, who was receiving treatment in the hospital, to everyone.
"Sunny, is that woman one of the family members of that mysterious patient?" A nurse
walked out of the office and saw Karen leaving.
She frowned as the figure seemed familiar to her.
However, when she saw Karen's designer handbag, the nurse did not dwell on it. Wealthy
wives from affluent families always carried themselves with grace, paying extreme
attention to their appearance and demeanor.
Sunny nodded and moved the tablet on the desk aside.
When she turned it on, a web page appeared, displaying Pierre's information on the
screen.
After leaving Pierre's ward earlier, Sunny felt disgusted. Hence, she picked up the tablet
and started searching for information about him.
She had never thought of investigating what kind of person Pierre was. However, after she
noticed his unsettling, lascivious stare, she realized that knew nothing about him.
As she read the content on the screen, Sunny's face turned gloomy. He truly was a
playboy!
It seemed she would have to be cautious whenever she went to change Pierre's dressings
in the future. She would have to keep her distance as far as possible!
"The family is extremely mysterious. Anyone would think that they're the family members
of some political figure!" exclaimed the nurse.
Even though their hospital was not as famous as the general hospital, the doctors and
nurses here had better skills and qualifications compared to several other private
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhospitals.
Patients who sought treatment here belonged to the upper echelons of society, especially
those on this floor. Their status was even higher than the average wealthy individuals.
"Is it possible for political figures to come to our hospital?" Sunny closed the web page and
cleared her search history to ensure others would not see what she had searched.
"You're right." The nurse glanced at her side profile. "Sunny, you look awful. Are you
feeling unwell?"
"I've been taking too many night shifts. How could I look well?" Sunny was also a woman
who cared about her appearance. She touched her face when she heard her colleague's
comment.
"You're right. I'll keep an eye on the call bell for you tonight. You may rest. I'll call you if the
bell rings.” The nurse nodded, feeling sorry for Sunny.
Even though the others would also have to work night shifts at times, they took turns.
Sunny had been on night shifts continuously these days. Her disrupted sleep schedule left
her feeling groggy and disoriented throughout the day. Besides, she had not taken a day
off. That was why she was exhausted.
"Thank you." Sunny felt that she needed a nap. However, when she thought about Pierre,
who was still hooked up to an IV bag, she shook her head. "No, I can't. I'll have to wait for
a while. The patient is still receiving medication. It'll probably take another ten minutes."
She glanced at the time, estimating the time Pierre would finish his IV. Then, she propped
her chin up and wore a helpless expression. "If I had known it would be this troublesome, I
wouldn't have agreed to take on this assignment from the director."
The nurse also looked at Sunny with a helpless expression. "Although working the night
shift is tough, you're lucky. At least the patient sleeps during the night and doesn't keep
you busy. The head nurse is overwhelmed during the daytime. She has been working for
so many years, taking care of countless patients. But when it comes to your patient, she
shakes her head repeatedly and says it feels like she's back to her early days of working.
It's really chaotic."
Sunny let out a sigh again. Becoming Pierre's attending nurse alongside the head nurse
was not easy for them!
