President's Substitute Wife

“What?” I could hardly believe what my ears heard, “who is it?”

“I don’t know.” The nurse shrugged.

Then she asked me to fill out some forms.

Ming was on the phone.

I filled out the forms and sat there thinking about what the nurse said. Ming arranged and said to the nurse, “transfer her to the Sacred Heart Hospital Rehabilitation Center.”

Hearing these words, the nurse’s expression immediately changed, “who are you? Not everyone can be transferred to Sacred Heart Hospital.”

Ming looked at the nurse and thought and said, “my name is Ming. I’m from Sacred Heart Hospital...”

“Dr. Jessop!” Before Ming finished, the nurse knew, “people in other industries don’t know you, but people in our industry know you. You are now the star of our industry.”

Ming didn’t speak.

Oasis Hospital was far away so ambulances wouldn’t come too soon.

The nurse talked to Ming all the time but Ming ignored her. At last she said her purpose, “Dr. Jessop, you have many hospitals. Can you change my job? The work here is not good.”

“I will contact your Dean and let him manage the hospital.” Ming said lightly.

The nurse said unwillingly, “that’s the dean’s business. I usually treat Margaret very well.”

“No way.” Ming immediately refused, “I gave you the money. If you want to change jobs, the money will allow you to live for a while.”

The nurse couldn’t say anything more when he mentioned it.

I wanted to go upstairs and saw Margaret before the ambulance came. The nurse immediately refused, “no, in case something happens, I can’t afford it. Let’s wait for the ambulance.”

Ming didn’t speak. I knew he didn’t want me to go either.

A skinny woman looked communicative.

But she was still aggressive.

Two hours later, Sacred Heart Hospital’s car arrived. The nurses went upstairs to meet Margaret. As soon as they opened the door of the ward, a nurse threw up directly.

Because I said there was a teacher in the new place, Margaret was very cooperative and did not resist at all.

On the way back, I asked her across the glass wall, “what are your two babies’ names?”

“Lisa and Laura.”

Margaret answered me seriously.
