Sweet Twins novel Chapter 43

When Jay heard Doris' words, Jay moved his eyelids and twitched the corners of his lips, but still didn't open his eyes.

'I'm starting to think that I owed you something in my previous life. Since we met, I was wet with water and lost one hundred million. Then, my little soldier became badly injured,' Jay complained in his mind.

But no one truly knew who owed who.

And fate had a way of playing games with people who were destined to meet.

Doris lazily went to the kitchen and looked for something to eat, but found none. She saw a box of instant noodles and immediately opened it and went ahead and cooked two packs of it.

When the noodles were cooked, she took the food to the bedroom.

"Open your eyes and eat some of this if you don't want to starve to death," Doris said as she placed the bowl of steaming hot noodles on the nightstand near the bed.

Jay had been awake for some time and he heard Doris nagging while she cooked the noodles in the kitchen. It was the first time that he enjoyed listening to the sound of a woman's chatter.

He thought that if only Doris was not so sharp tongued, he would feel much better.

"Can't you be a bit gentler, Doris? A bit more lady-like, perhaps?" Jay asked as he moved his body to a sitting position.

"I have cooked noodles for you, and you still think that I am not gentle enough? Mr. Fang, this is the first time ever that I have cooked noodles for a man. Eat or starve, it's up to you." She picked up the bowl of noodles as soon as she finished speaking and was about to throw it to the trash bin.

"No! No! I'll eat it!"

Jay suddenly felt like he had just lost his prestigious status as the firstborn of the Fang family.

Doris just didn't treat him like he was an important person, and he couldn't seem to do anything about it at all.

Doris placed the bowl of noodles on Jay's hand. She looked irritated. "Eat it now. I have to go to work. Remember, don't shower. Apply the ointment every three hours. It will hurt a lot, so, you need to put up with it. Applying it too frequently will not be good for your recovery."

"Okay, what else? Go on," Jay said as he listened carefully to Doris' instructions.

Doris raised an eyebrow at him. "That's it," she replied simply.

Jay suddenly looked disappointed. "Then come back as soon as you get off work. Don't forget that I am your patient now," Jay reminded Doris.

"Okay, I will buy some food. You stay at home and be a good patient. I will make you some delicious food when I come back later in the afternoon," Doris said as she tried to console him.

Jay stared at Doris with a slight smile but said nothing.

"What are you smiling at?" Doris asked worried. She was sure that she didn't do anything funny at all.

"Nothing. I'm just looking forward to the food that you will cook," Jay said lightly with the same smile.

Doris took her mobile phone from the desk to check the time and to prepare to leave for work.

She unlocked her phone and was greeted by news notifications. One of the news items caught her attention and her eyes immediately widened. "Mr. Fang, bad news! Nancy is in trouble!"

"Why? What happened? Why do you look so worried?" Jay asked and was starting to feel worried as well.

"Here! Look!" Doris handed her mobile phone to Jay. He was also shocked when he read the news on Doris' phone.

"Wow! This is a little serious. Doctors taking bribes is somehow connected to their fame. But if this is true, then Nancy is in big trouble." The first thing that Jay thought of was to tell Charles about it.

Doris, on the other hand, immediately thought to call Nancy as soon as possible.

At that moment, Nancy was busy performing an operation on a girl, and her phone was turned off.

"I'm going to work. But what should I do?" Doris asked anxiously.

"You go to work now. We can't help her, but we can ask for Charles' help," Jay said as he pushed the bowl of noodles aside.

"I'm leaving now. Please, help Nancy. It's not easy for her. Her parents got divorced when she was very young, and her stepmother doesn't like her at all. To make it worse, her mother is in a vegetative state," Doris revealed; her voice was filled with concern.

"Don't worry too much, Doris. Someone is surely more anxious about this news than us. Just go to work," Jay suggested to Doris.
