Sweet Twins

Could it be possible that ruthlessness was a valuable quality that an independent woman must possess? If that was the case, Charles would rather not yield to a ruthless and liberated woman such as Nancy.

At noontime, Erin happened to be on duty when she saw Charles approaching with Nadia bolstered in his arms. She hastily greeted him, "Mr. Fu, it's nice to see you. Where is Director Nancy?"

He flashed a wink at her. "Erin, haven't you heard that she is performing surgery in the operating room as we speak? That's why I took little Nadia here, so we could wait for a while. If the operation takes too long, I'll take Nadia home first."

"Ah, of course... I almost forgot," she said with a faltered reaction.

"Erin, please keep Nadia company. I'm going out to buy us some lunch," said Charles.

"Well, Mr. Fu, no problem." Erin smiled and straddled Nadia into her arms.

Charles then strode off.

"Auntie, what did the child that Mommy is treating today looked like?" Nadia asked innocently.

"What? Well… it happened to be a little girl like you, but she was disobedient. She injured her tiny toes badly, so your mommy had to perform an operation on her." Erin took out a random folder in the file drawer beside her and pretended to read it. She had no other choice but to coax the little girl.

Alas, she was taught to tell the truth. Now, she lied to a guileless child which made her feel guilty.

"She is so pitiful. It must be painful to have an operation, right?" Tears welled up in Nadia's little eyes as she imagined the pain.

"But don't worry, Nadia. It won't hurt at all to have an operation because an anesthesiologist will use a numbing medicine called anesthesia. She will be fine. She wouldn't even feel a thing." Erin comforted Nadia with a reassuring smile.
