Stuck in you

'A handsome man?'

Rachel wondered. As far as she could remember, Lucas was the only handsome guy close to her.

She thanked the nurse and walked towards her office. When she saw a man sitting on the couch, she immediately recognized him. She asked in surprise, "Bill? What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to see you," Bill answered with a smile. He was still wearing his morning sports suit.

With a worried expression on her face, she asked, "Are you sick?" She immediately took out the stethoscope from her pocket and went closer to check him.

But he only laughed. "I'm not sick. I happened to pass by here, and I remembered you were on the night shift. Can I invite you to breakfast? It's sad to eat breakfast alone."

Feeling relieved, Rachel said with a smile, "You scared me. I thought you have another heart attack."

In the past two years, she had been seeing Bill constantly because of his heart problem. She kept on reminding him not to exercise too hard and not to stay up late, but he never listened. Sometimes, he would just reply, "I'm not afraid of heart attacks because I have you, a good doctor, as my friend."

Every time he said that, she was rendered speechless.

She looked at her watch and said, "I still have ten minutes to finish my shift. Are you willing to wait?"

"Sure. Can I rest here while waiting for you?"

She nodded and went out of her office. After handing over the patients' records to the day shift doctor, she changed her clothes, went back to her office, and said to Bill, "Let's go. Where do you want to eat?"

"Do you have something in mind? I don't normally eat breakfast outside, so I'm not familiar with good restaurants here."

They walked side by side while chatting.

The nurse station was in an uproar when they passed by.

Since most of the nurses there were in their early twenties, they liked to gossip.

So, while watching Rachel's and Bill's receding figures, they stopped what they were doing and started to chat.

"Is he Rachel's boyfriend? They look perfect together."

"Seriously? As what I've heard, Rachel is already married."

"She got divorced a long time ago."

Rachel kept on sneezing while walking. She couldn't understand why her nose suddenly become itchy although she didn't catch a cold.

They agreed to have some porridge in a restaurant near the hospital. After eating and chatting for a while, they bade goodbye to each other.
