Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 184

"Mrs. Qi, please don't worry about it. Mr. Elian has explicitly ordered his care. This is an important patient for our hospital and I'll definitely take good care of him, " The nurse gently smiled at Jean to turn down her offer to pay her well.

"Thank you very much for all your trouble. I need to go back home and fetch some stuff. I promise I will switch duties with you as soon as I am back." An indebted Jean thanked the caregiver and began walking towards the entrance of the hospital.

Just before she arrived at the entrance, Jean saw Winner. He seemed to be sneaking around as he was walking in hurried steps in her direction.

Jean moaned to see him. After the exhaustion of the past 24 hours, she certainly didn't want to become entangled with the Wens.

Especially, not Winner! He was like a viper, full of hostility and ready to attack her any minute. And there was no stopping his bullying once he started it.

In the flash of a second, Jean took cover behind a wide ornate pillar. Once safe, she peered at him cautiously.

Apparently, Winner didn't see Jean around. Instead, he was on the look out for a familiar doctor or nurse. When he found himself among strange faces, he sighed with relief and doubled his speed. By the time he reached the corridor, he whistled and had a swagger in the way he walked.

"Hey, Mister. This is a hospital. Please maintain decorum. The patients are resting." A senior nurse scolded Winner for his ungainly behaviour.

This ruffled up Winner. But he remembered that he was in the hospital and didn't want to draw attention to himself by causing a scene. He glared hard at the nurse and spat out the words: "You old ugly hag, why don't you go to hell?"

Obviously, the nurse didn't hear his talking back as she continued to devote herself into work.

Jean stayed where she was until she saw Winner disappear from her sight. Seeing him at the hospital had got Jean confused.

It was a late hour for Winner to show up at the hospital. There must be something wrong.

'Perhaps Henry was in this hospital?'

Thinking on these lines, Jean approached the nurses' station.

"Excuse me? Does the young man who just went past come here frequently?" Jean politely smiled and asked the nurse.

The woman across the desk lowered her glasses and moved her pile of files aside to get a better view of the young woman who wore a dirty stained white shirt. After looking Jean from head to toe, she said, "Who are you?"

"I'm his half-blood sister. To be specific, I'm here to ask if Henry Wen is here in this hospital." Jean replied without any haste. The smile on her face got bigger and she tried her best to be more compliant and pleasing.

"Henry Wen?" The nurse suddenly realized something and gave Jean a despising look, "Yes. He has already been here for more than half a month. Speaking of that, are you really his daughter?"

The hint of disdain in the nurse's words was obvious. She just stared at Jean without batting an eyelid.

Jean's face flushed but she soon composed herself and answered with a smile, "I am just back from a business trip and reached the hospital in a hurry. Do you know how he... my dad is now?"

"How do you think he is? He was half dead. He is alive now but still suffering." The nurse seemed to believe what Jean had said but she didn't have any sympathy for the daughter of a man who was on his deathbed. She nonchalantly picked up her files and got up to make her rounds of the wards.

Half dead...

Jean didn't realize that Henry's situation was this bad. She was stunned by the news and took a step back, still staring at the spot where the nurse was a minute ago.

She had thought that it was another trick by the Wens to tell her that Henry was in the hospital. She had thought they made it up just to win her sympathy and then ask her to persuade Zed to give them the land.
