Chapter 7 I Think You Will Fall In Love With Her

At that moment, Nancy's phone rang.

Her expression changed when she saw the caller ID, but she promptly answered the call.

"Nancy, I heard from Doris that you're back. That's great. I asked her for your address, so I can pick you up on my way to work," a man said happily on the other end of the line.

This man was none other than Ethan Ye, Nancy's schoolmate from primary school to college. Now, he was the director of the orthopedics department at the municipal hospital where Nancy worked.

In Nancy's eyes, she owed him a favor that she would never be able to pay him for the rest of her life.

If she hadn't known Caspar and hadn't had a baby, she might have fallen in love with Ethan Ye. Unfortunately, there were no 'if's in the world.

"Ethan, you don't have to pick me up. I know you are busy. I'll just take a cab to work," Nancy replied immediately.

"Your house is on the way so it doesn't matter. Get ready, I'll be there in five minutes." The call was disconnected before Nancy could argue further.

"Boyfriend?" Charles asked lazily, wiping his hands with a tissue.

However, there was a trace of jealousy in his voice.

"No, he's not," Nancy answered honestly.

"You are my mommy. You can't have a boyfriend," Bobby interjected unhappily, raising his head.

Nancy was speechless. This kid just would not let go of her, would he?

"Eat quickly. Your mommy has to go to work." Charles deliberately emphasized the word "mommy," making Nancy roll her eyes.

"I'm full," Bobby said, pushing his bowl to the side.

"Well, let's go downstairs together. It's time for me to leave," Nancy urged after taking a look at her watch. She couldn't be late to work on her first day, and besides, Ethan Ye would be here in a few minutes.

The three of them went downstairs together.

Ever since Nancy had gotten the call from Ethan Ye, Charles had been wearing an expression of displeasure on his face.

Nancy didn't dare to comment on it, but Bobby snickered and thought to himself, 'My daddy looks so cool when he's jealous!'

When Nancy opened the door, she saw Ethan Ye in front of her house sitting in a white BMW. In the few years since she had last seen him, he had gone from being an inexperienced teenager to a mature man.

"Hi, Nancy. Long time."

"Yeah. It's nice to see you," Nancy said politely.

"Come on, get in," Ethan Ye said as he got out of the car and opened the door for Nancy.

The whole time, Nancy was praying that Charles and his little boy would ignore her and just go quietly to their car.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

But just before she could get into Ethan Ye's car, she heard Charles' loud voice saying, "Bobby, say goodbye to Mommy."

"Goodbye, Mommy. I'll come back to see you again sometime," Bobby shouted obediently.

Nancy almost shrank in embarrassment. With an awkward laugh, she said, "Goodbye."

Charles smiled triumphantly as he opened his car door for Bobby.

Then, without so much as a glance at Nancy, he got into the driver's seat.

"Daddy, you have competition. It seems like that man likes her! Are you going to just stand by and do nothing?" Bobby asked, turning back to look wistfully at the other car as they drove away.

"Competition? Yeah, right." Charles snorted. Anyway, he didn't really care either way. As far as he was concerned, it was just by chance that he had met this woman. There would be no reason for him to see her again.

"I think you will fall in love with her," Bobby said, childishly sticking out his tongue.

Charles tapped the steering wheel and thought, 'Do I like her? Maybe a little. But just a little.'

Meanwhile, in the other car, Ethan Ye couldn't help but bring up what he had just seen. "Nancy, those two people..."

"Oh, I don't really know them. Doris and I picked up that boy yesterday near the airport. Didn't she tell you about it?" Nancy said hurriedly. It was hard to explain since the father and son had come out of the house with her early in the morning. Anyone would misunderstand after seeing such a scene.

It seemed better for her to steer the topic to Doris.

"Oh, that's the boy! Yeah, Doris told me about it. So, that man is the boy's father?" As expected, Ethan Ye's tone became much more cheerful.

"Yes, he came here this morning," Nancy said casually.

After that, the conversation shifted to Nancy's years abroad and medical matters.

When they finally reached the hospital, Nancy saw the senior management members of the hospital waiting at the gate.

Even before she got out of the car, they began clapping their hands. "It's our honor to have you here, Dr. Nancy. From now on, you are the backbone of our pediatric department as well as our hospital. Excellent pediatricians are rare!" Hobart Zhang said, beaming.

Even though Nancy felt a little embarrassed, she got out of the car gracefully and said, "I'm flattered, President Hobart."

The president turned to Ethan Ye. "Ethan, I heard that you were Nancy's schoolmate. You don't need to make the rounds today. I'll have someone else do that. You and I can show Nancy around the hospital." "Sure, President Hobart.

It's my pleasure." Ethan Ye was glad that he had gotten this chance. Then, turning to Nancy, he held his arm out in a gentlemanly gesture and said, "This way, Dr. Nancy."

"Thank you," Nancy replied with a smile.

"Come on, everyone, let's take a walk. You can ask Dr. Nancy about international medical news. You interns, especially, should learn from her," Hobart Zhang said.

The doctors and interns soon gathered around Nancy and asked her some questions related to the medical field.

Being a candid woman, Nancy told them everything she knew.

When they arrived at the corridor of the pediatric department, a man and a woman with a child in her arms rushed toward them in a hurry.

"Doctor! My child swallowed a glass bead and it's stuck in her throat. Please help her!" the woman cried.

"How long has it been?" Nancy asked, naturally taking the lead.

"It's been ten minutes..." the woman trailed off.

When their eyes met, they both froze.

"Fannie?"

"Nancy..."

At this moment, the man spoke up. "You're...back? Why are you back?" Caspar's words sounded ridiculous to Nancy.

Why couldn't she come back here?

Just because, Casper, her ex-boyfriend, was here, she couldn't come back?

Nancy coldly chose not to answer. After five years, she was no longer the helpless little girl she had once been. But when she noticed that the kid's face had turned blue, she quickly reached out and said, "Hand her to me."

"She's mine! I won't give her to you," Fannie said anxiously, trying to retreat with the child. The truth was, she was afraid of Nancy, because five years ago, she had taken away her baby girl. Of course, Nancy didn't know this, but Fannie was sure that Nancy would kill her if she found out.

And either way, Nancy already disliked her. What if she took this opportunity to hurt her child?

"I know she is your child. I might not like you, but this is a place where lives are saved, and as a doctor, I won't let anything happen to a patient on my watch!" Nancy said firmly.

When she finished, the crowd of doctors behind her burst into applause at her passionate words.

Ignoring Fannie, Nancy put the child on her lap and began administering medical care.

After a few seconds, a glass bead fell out of the child's mouth and clattered to the floor.

"It's time to put an oxygen mask on the kid. She's okay. She'll be fine soon," Nancy instructed as she handed the kid to a nurse.
