Chapter 1400 Helping In The Hospital
While he was still hesitating, John walked in suddenly. “Mr. Juan, Mr. Seet said he has things to deal with this morning, so you’ll need to attend to the contracts of the company’s two new projects.”
“All right.”
Juan sighed as he looked at the documents John placed on the table. At that moment, he knew he would not have the time to go to the hospital and watch what was about to happen. Instead, he could only wait for Kyle’s return and get to know it from Kyle.
Meanwhile, Kyle rushed over to Nicole’s office as soon as he parked his car.
He figured that if Juan was right about Sally plotting against Nicole, then it was very likely that she would be with her at that moment.
Upon arriving in front of the office, he knocked on the door.
“Come in.”
He pushed open the door as soon as he heard that, and there they were. Sally and Nicole were chatting away happily with each other.
Nicole was surprised to see Kyle as she asked, “Kyle, why are you here?”
Similarly, Sally was also surprised. It turned out that she was expecting to see Juan instead of Kyle.
So, it’s Kyle’s turn to watch me now?
Meanwhile, Kyle noticed the looks on their faces, so he said, “There’s nothing urgent at the office today, so I wanted to come and help you.”
However, Nicole had noticed how Kyle had been staring at Sally as soon as he walked in. She knew right away that it was just an excuse he made up to hide the fact that he was there for Sally.
Could it be that Juan felt that he was no match against Sally? Or is there something else that made Kyle come? Kyle and Sally…
With that thought, Nicole turned to Sally. Meanwhile, Sally was staring at Kyle the whole time with a flicker in her eyes.
“I’m here to help too. We can do it together if you don’t mind, Mr. Kyle.”
“Sure.”
Seeing how in sync they were with each other, Nicole said nothing else and arranged for them to take care of the patients.
“Room 104 has an eight-year-old boy raised by a single parent. His mother works during the day and so she can’t take care of him. You guys should go and help. We also have an elderly in Room 109 with no kids. You guys should help take care of him too.”
“Got it, Mommy.”
“Right away, Mrs. Seet.”
The two went to the eight-year-old boy’s room first. Seeing his pale face, Sally could not help but feel pity for him.
“Hey, little boy. What are you sick with?”
“My stomach’s not good. I feel weak, and my hands and legs always go numb. They told me it takes time to recover.”
“Did you have breakfast? What do you want? I’ll get it for you,” Sally asked.
“I already did. Mommy bought me some oatmeal.”
“Only oatmeal? That’s not nutritious enough. What do you want to eat? I’ll go get it for you right away, okay?”
The little boy licked his lips as he thought about Sally’s words. He was actually craving a lot of things, but he was too shy to tell.
Kyle ruffled his hair when he noticed how timid the boy was. “Wait here. I’ll go and get it.”
With Kyle gone from the room, Sally went ahead and tried to have a heart-to-heart talk with the boy. “Little boy, what’s your name?”
“My name’s Zachary White. My mommy wanted me to become a hero like my daddy one day when she came up with my name.”
“Hero? Your daddy’s a hero?”
“Yes. My daddy saved two women in a fire. Mommy says that he’s a hero.”
Sally thought about what he said, and she remembered Nicole saying that he was being raised by a single mother. Could it be that his father had sacrificed himself to save others?
A wave of emotions surged inside of Sally as she thought of that. She caressed the boy’s face gently and said, “I believe that you’ll become a great hero when you grow up.”
Zachary nodded enthusiastically at her words.
When Kyle got back, he heard the sound of laughter coming from Sally and Zachary before he even stepped foot inside.
