Chapter 576 Rick

"Everyone knows about the famous orthopedic expert and that's you. Right, Nancy?" Rick said with a smile.

Nancy was almost floating in the air, being praised by her idol. She responded shyly, "Thank you for your praise."

"You're welcome. Tell me something about your patient," Rick requested with a smile.

"Okay." In order to let Rick see and understand more accurately, Nancy brought Nana's medical record and sat down beside Rick. "This is my patient's medical record. She had a trauma, which is the reason why she might suffer from a little mental problem. She is not like herself anymore, alas."

Nancy carefully explained Nana's condition to Rick in detail. When Rick reached out to take the medical record from her, his hand accidentally touched the coffee cup. It tripped and fell on the table spilling all over Nancy.

Rick panicked at the sudden accident. He hurriedly took out his handkerchief and wiped the coffee stains off Nancy's clothes.

"I'm sorry, Nancy. I didn't mean to ruin your dress," Rick apologized. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Nancy didn't mind it. She knew it happened in the spur of the moment. Rick didn't do it on purpose.

Nancy responded generously, "Don't worry, Rick. It's fine. Accident can happen all the time. It doesn't mean you're responsible for it. It's okay. I'll go home and change my clothes."

"No, don't go home like this. Your dress is completely ruined. Wait until I get someone to buy you a new dress." Rick felt like he had done something very shameful. So he asked his assistant to buy a new dress for Nancy.

Although Nancy refused at the beginning, Rick insisted. Nancy reluctantly agreed to accept the dress from him and told her clothes' size.

Meanwhile, outside the door, Charles was being extremely angry and impatient.

In fact, he had collected all the information about Rick before coming here.

The more Charles thought about it, the more stressed he felt. It was frustrating for him to admit that all the men that Nancy knew were so excellent.

In Charles' mind there was only one thing, jealousy. Since Nancy came in his life, he considered all the excellent men in the world as his enemies.

He didn't even understand since when he became like this, so narrow-minded?

Charles felt restless watching Nancy with Rick.

When he saw Rick wiping off the coffee stains from Nancy's dress, jealousy didn't let him settle down. He clenched his fists in anger. All he wanted right now was to rush in and kick Rick away from Nancy.

However, he knew that he simply couldn't do that. He couldn't appear in front of Nancy at the moment.

He needed to refrain himself from doing something hastily. Although, Charles believed in Nancy and knew Rick was a gentleman and not greedy for beauty, he just couldn't seem to find peace.

Going insane, Charles lit up a cigarette, finished it, and then lit another one. He didn't know how many cigarettes he had smoked while Nancy was still talking to Rick.

It left Charles speechless when Rick bought clothes for Nancy.

He was so annoyed with their interaction.

What made Charles more annoyed was that Nancy changed in to the beige cashmere dress in the cloakroom without hesitation. Beige was Nancy's favorite color. Did she tell Rick about her color preference?

Otherwise, how could Rick know that she liked beige?

However, Charles was overthinking.

When Rick proposed to buy clothes for Nancy, Nancy actually denied saying, "Rick, don't bother. I'll drive to go back anyway. So, I don't really need to change clothes now."

"Nancy, don't be formal with me. You have a stain on your dress. If you go out like this, people will stare at you. I don't want you to be embarrassed because of this. Allow me to buy you a new dress, please. And if you still feel reluctant, I can transfer money to your account. You can buy something of your own choice."

How could Nancy take Rick's money? So she decided letting him buy her clothes would be the more convenient option.

"I know you like the color beige. I'll ask my assistant to buy you a dress in that color," Rick said with a smile.

"How do you know that I like beige?" Nancy asked, returning a smile as well.

"Of course, you weren't aware how popular you were at school. People practically wanted to have a word or two with but they didn't dare approaching you. I was also a part of these people. I was really timid at that time; or I could have chased you," Rick said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"I wasn't half as good as you just described me." It was true that she received many love letters at school. But Nancy didn't have any feelings for those men. She was with Edward at the time. Others

once regarded Edward as Nancy's boyfriend, so they gradually distanced themselves from Nancy.

However, among all the men chasing after Nancy, she had never expected Rick would be in the list too.

"You were a sweetheart. I even wrote you a love letter, but unfortunately, never received your response. I felt so defeated and gave up," Rick said with a snort.

"Umm... I never really read any of those letters. But Rick, I'm sorry. I have a boyfriend now. Let's stop talking about past and concentrate on Nana's condition." Nancy felt Rick's intense stare on her. It made her uncomfortable. No matter what, it was in the past. Also, now she was Charles' girlfriend, and the mother of Bobby and Nadia.

"Sure, let's talk about Nana's condition." Rick refrained himself from making things difficult for her and changed the topic immediately.

After the two of them talked for a while, Rick's assistant brought the new clothes. She took the clothes to the dressing room, changed and put the dirty clothes into the packing bag to wash them later.

If it was Charles, he would have asked her to throw away the dirty clothes. But the clothes were expensive, and Nancy really liked them. She didn't want to throw them away.

Besides, Charles himself had bought this dress for her. It would be disrespectful for Charles if she threw it away without his permission.

What Nancy didn't know was that Charles had been watching over her every movement from afar.

Once they had their discussion, Nancy put down the medical record and said goodbye to Rick politely.

"Let me drive you home," Rick offered politely.

"Don't bother. I drove here myself. Besides, my home is not far from here. I can drive back myself," Nancy politely refused.

"Well, I'll go to the hospital tomorrow and check on your patient thoroughly to see what's wrong with her. If she's not seriously ill, she can just take some medicines. If it's serious, I might suggest transferring her to my hospital. After all, the environment and medical equipment in my hospital are all highly scientific. I think they will be beneficial in treating her to recovery," Rick said sincerely.

"Well, I'm an outsider in the matter of mental illness. I'll listen to your suggestion."

"You are still as humble as before and I admire you for that," Rick confessed with a smile.

"I'm flattered, thank you. Now, I'll take my leave. See you tomorrow," Nancy said picking up the bag which held her clothes.

"Of course. See you tomorrow." Rick stood up to wish her a goodbye.
