Chapter 10 A Stubborn Man

"Charles!" Nancy yelled angrily. She had never met such a stubborn man.

Charles looked at her fiercely, clearly revealing that he wouldn’t give in.

However, his indocility irritated Nancy. She shook her arm and lurched forward to the door.

But, Charles didn’t let go of her, and pulled her back hard.

Nancy was a just a thin girl, and she was no match for Charles’ strength. As a result, she got dragged into his arms.

All of a sudden, the ward door got opened.

"Sorry... My mistake. I didn’t see anything. You two, please carry on!" Jessie said with an explicit smile.

Nancy blushed at once and struggled, but Charles didn’t let go of her. Instead, he hugged her tighter, as if to embarrass her deliberately.

"Director Jessie, don’t get us wrong!" Nancy wanted to explain, but she sounded as if she was trying for a cover-up.

"Don’t worry. I already told you that I haven’t seen anything." Jessie looked at Charles obsequiously with a smile.

However, she despised Nancy deep within.

No wonder Hobart was so nice to Nancy. Now it turned out that she relied on Charles for her support.

"That’s good. Director Jessie, could you please inform President Hobart that Dr. Nancy will be the private doctor for Bobby as long as he is in the hospital? As concerning the other patients, please do take good care of them, Director Jessie!" Though Charles spoke politely, he sounded hard and cold.

"Oh... Ha ha, that’s all right." Being gazed intensely by Charles, Jessie was scared and was careful not to offend him anyway. She turned around and left in a hurry.

She was jealous and dejected to see that, and wished that it was her who was held by the man instead of Nancy.

Being with Charles was the dream of all girls in the city, and she too was one among them. It was just that Nancy was that lucky one and got hold of him first.

"Charles, I realize now that you are sent by the God almighty himself with the sole intention of punishing me!" Nancy felt totally helpless about the man. She turned around and walked to Bobby’s bed.

"So, from now on, I hope you will be a good girl," Charles said, shrugging.

The next day, Bobby woke up early.

The moment he saw Nancy, his big eyes lit up.

"Mommy, I knew I would see you!" He stretched out his little hand and fondled Nancy’s beautiful face.

The boy's warm touch instantly made Nancy’s heart soften.

"Bobby, you can’t make yourself catch a cold. Never ever should you repeat this, do you understand?" She lifted her hand and snuffed his nose.

Frowning, Bobby said melancholy, "But how can I see you if I don’t catch a cold? What will I do then?"

"You silly boy…" Nancy was speechless.

"As long as you don’t catch a cold, I promise you that you can see her whenever you want to," said Charles.

Bobby’s eyes became as bright as stars.

But Nancy was utterly confused. ‘What the hell do they want?’ she thought.

Did she owe them something in her previous life?

Would it be ever possible for her to find a guy to spend the rest of her life with?

"Mommy, do you like me?" Bobby asked, tilting his head.

How could she possibly say no to this young boy?

Besides, she really liked this child. If only he would stop calling her Mommy... She would love him all her life.

"Oh... Of course, I do." Nancy grinned.

"Mom, I feel hungry now. I want to eat something." Bobby stretched his arms, and he looked utterly soft and cute.

"What would you like to eat? Tell me," Nancy asked.

"I will eat anything Mommy buys for me."

Charles just couldn’t believe his ears. Bobby was so choosy about his food and didn’t eat much even though he was served with a variety of dishes each day. But now, he would like this woman to buy food for him. What on earth was happening?

How powerful was his love for her?

"How about steamed buns, Bobby?" Steamed buns were Nancy's favorite.

She loved it and thought everyone would love it.

"Okay!" Bobby agreed at once.

"How about you? Do you need me to bring something for you?" Nancy asked in a harsh tone.

"Of course!"

Nancy stretched out her hand.

"What is it?" Charles was confused.

"Well, I can pay for Bobby, but not for you." Nancy got a feeling that she was being continuously followed by them since she came back. She was already spending her time with them, but she decided not to spend her money on them anymore.

"I don’t have cash. Here, take my card." And then, Charles quickly took out his black leather wallet and offered it to her.

Nancy sighed. "Save it. When you owe me more, pay it back then!"

"Well, although you have spoken too much today, I find only your these words to be reasonable. I like it!" Charles put away his wallet and smiled.

Nancy was annoyed because she just dug a hole and trapped herself.

‘Why am I even doing this?’ she thought.

When Charles saw the angry look on Nancy’s face, he was delighted.

It was as if Charles and Bobby were sitting cozily in the back of a limousine and Nancy was bearing all the brunt. Though being a "nobody" to them, she was still handling everything for them.

Nancy just wished for Bobby’s early discharge from the hospital. Once that happened, she hoped she would get back her peaceful life back, once again.

In fact, Bobby recovered the very next day, but the little guy had his own plans.

So every now and then he would cough, and Nancy would fetch him a glass of water and wash a fruit for him.

The two men then would look at each other and exchange a gentle smile knowingly.

Charles was not worried. He could work from anywhere. As for the customers, he just left them to his assistant.

In the morning, Nancy freshened up Bobby by washing his face. Suddenly, she received a call from Doris.

"Nancy, you’re good! We haven’t seen each other just for a few days and you have now started to date Charles! Good for you!"

Her tone was full of jealousy and mockery.

"Doris, watch your words. When did I become such a flirting woman?" While speaking, she glared an eye at Charles, who was shaving with ease.

"Come on. Don’t lie to me. Everyone knows about it and now it's even on the top search." Doris grinned. "To be honest, I didn’t expect that little boy was from the Fu family. You have a good taste. Take good care of the little one, then you can easily get the big one."

"Stop your nonsense!"

"No, no, Nancy. It’s good, super good. You should seize this opportunity and try your best to become the lady of the Fu family. Then you can live comfortably for the rest of your life and lend me some support as well. Ha ha ha…" Doris’s voice was as loud as a firecracker. Fearing that Charles would hear her out, Nancy hung up in a hurry.

When she checked the news on her phone, she found that Doris was right.

She was visibly upset. "Hey, why do these people frame me up? The secrets of a famous doctor of the municipal hospital are unveiled! Dr. Nancy's illegitimate child exposed! What?" The more she read, the more she got infuriated. "What the hell are they talking about? It’s all bullshit!"

Charles took over the phone and started reading them. Then he squinted his sharp eyes at her.

"Do you mind it?"
