Staying In A Single Ward
Three hourster, Johann and another doctor walked out of the operating room.
The nurse beside them called out, “Is Tyrone''s family here?"
Keith and Larry helped Aunt Jenny up. They brought her to the door of the operating room. Nina stood
up too when she heard it, and she came forward.
Johann nced at Percy and Nina. He slightly nodded his head to greet them.
Nina looked at Johann''s expression, unable to figure out whether or not the surgery had seeded.
She was so nervous that she squeezed Percy''s hand.
"Tyrone''s surgery was a sess. We sessfully extracted the ss shards out of his brain while
removing the blood clots. But the patient''s wounds areplicated. We still need to transfer him to the
ICU for another 24 hours of observation. We''ll only transfer him to the general ward if there''s nothing
wrong with him," said Johann. There was no expression on his face when he said that.
After bing a doctor for such a long time, Johann''s face was expressionless even if the surgery
was a sess.
"Really? Doc, can I go in there and take a look at my son?" Aunt Jenny was still worried.
Johann shook his head. "It''s not the ICU''s visiting hours now. You''ll have to wait until the working hours
tomorrow. Only then will the ICU will allow family members to visit the patient. And be sure not to leave
first. It''d be better to have one of the family members here. We''ll need someone to decide for the
patient if anything happens."
"Alright, alright. I''m staying here." Aunt Jenny took the initiative to stay as she was worried about her
son''s condition.
Johann shot Percy a nce after he said what he had to, then left.
The nurse cleared her throat and said, "Excuse me, the amount of money in the patient''s bank ount
that was provided earlier doesn''t seem to contain enough money. It''d be better if his family members
could deposit some money into the ount."
"Leave it to me," said Nina. She knew that no matter who paid for the medical bills first, she would be
the one who would pay for them eventually. That was why she took the initiative to say that.
"Just bring your card there." After that, the nurse showed the ss shards that were removed from
Tyrone''s brain. They were bright green-colored ss shards. Nina fell silent when she saw that.
"These are the ss shards that were removed from the patient''s brain. Please take a look at them,"
said the nurse.
Aunt Jenny suddenly burst into tears when she saw blood on the ss shards. “Oh my goodness. It
must''ve been so painful to have such sharp ss shards pierced into his brain."
Keith turned around and nced at Nina. He gave up the thought of hitting on her once he knew she
had such a rich boyfriend. Hence, he viciously handed Tyrone''s card to Nina and said, "Here you go."
Nina wanted to take it from him, but Percy grabbed her hand and nced at his assistant beside him.
"Do it."
The assistant nodded and took the card from Keith. Then, he headed to the payment counter.
Nina lifted her head, looked at Percy, and said, "I''d like to visit my brother."
"Sure." Percy nodded and left the operating room together with Nina.
The Hugh brothers did not put Nina on the spot as someone else would be responsible for this matter.
Nina was informed by the nurse that Jean had already been sent to the ward. Nina and Percy headed
upstairs after knowing which ward he was in.
Jean was sent to a ward that could amodate six patients as there was no special request for other
arrangements. The patients were already resting on their beds when Percy pushed the door open.
Nina realized that she might disturb the other patients if she came to look for Jean like this. They would
certainly fight with each other every time they met.
Hence, Nina grabbed Percy''s hand and shook her head.
Percy exited the ward, closed the door, and looked at her.
Nina said in a low voice, "I''lle again tomorrow."
"Alright." Percy nodded and left the ward with Nina.
Nina sat in Percy''s car, looking outside the window. The trees and nts had turned yellow, and leaves
had fallen from the trees. She was able to see ayer of frost on the tree branches if she took a closer
look.
Nina thought it would snow soon.
"How much are Tyrone''s medical bills? Can you give me a number?" Nina said.
Percy raised his brows and asked, "That''s how you want to do it?"
"Yes. Please let me know. Otherwise, I think I''d better follow up with this myself." Nina did not want to
take advantage of Percy even though it was no secret that she was in a rtionship with Percy.
Percy let out a sigh helplessly. "I think I should marry you sooner."
"Huh?" Nina blushed when she heard what he said.
"The only way to stop you from drawing a fine line between us regarding certain things is for me to
marry you. Nina, everything I have is yours too," said Percy. He did not like Nina being too particr at
differentiating things between him and her. However, he had no choice but to let Nina do what she
wanted since she insisted on doing so.
The only thing he could do to change the situation now was to make Nina his wife.
It seemed like Percy had to bring Nina to the city hall to register their marriage once he was done with
his work. He would tie her up and bring her there if she refused to go with him.
"I never said that I was going to marry you," Nina mumbled in a low voice. However, it warmed her
heart when she heard that Percy was nning to marry her.
It seemed like winter was not so bad at all.
“Who are you going to marry if you don''t marry me?" Percy asked in a serious voice.
“I''m not marrying anyone," said Nina, ying hard to get.
"You can''t say no to me when the timees. Wait until I finish my work and I''ll bring you to the city
hall. I''ll tie you up and bring you there if you refuse to go with me," Percy said domineeringly.
Nina felt helpless as she shook her head, but she did not say a word.
She looked outside the window. The bliss in her slowly filled her troubled mind.
It felt good to have Percy beside her...
The next day.
Nina prepared breakfast for Percy with the maid''s help after she woke up in the morning.
After the two of them had breakfast together, Nina said, "I''m going to the hospital today."

“Sure. Call me if anything happens," replied Percy.
The hustle and bustle of the hospital had returned in the morning. It was as though Nina was in another
worldpared to the silence at night.
Nina went to ask the nurse about Tyrone''s condition first. Nina let out a sigh of relief after she found out
that Tyrone was doing well in the ICU. Then, she headed to Jean''s ward.
Jean was eating the breakfast that the hospital had delivered to him this morning. He looked at the
noisy surroundings and frowned, feeling dissatisfied.
He was secretly ming Nina for not making better arrangements for him and letting him sleep in such
a cheap ward.
Nina walked in and saw Jean on his ward bed with a bandage around his head. His face was injured
too. Still, he looked energetic.
Nina immediately got furious.
Jean could not be bothered when he saw her expression and just said directly, “d that you''re here.
Transfer me to another ward. I don''t need a single room ward. A ward with two or three patients will
do."
Nina raised her brows while looking at his breakfast on the table. She said, “Well, I think this ward suits
you more."
“What are you talking about? It''s noisy here," said Jean. He could not get along with the other patients
and wanted to be transferred to another ward.
"There''s no need to. The police officers will be here to look for you soon. You''ll be staying in the single
ward after that." Nina said coldly.
