Chapter 1130
A Life Debt Repaid
Zoe flinched. âBut Iâm scaredâ¦
âThen you donât get to be suspicious.â
âBut I canâtâ¦â
Cordy smiled exasperatedly. âThen be brave and follow him. If you didnât run away, it wouldnât happen.â
Zoe bit her lip, feeling that Cordy was right.
Cordy remembered something else just then. âOh, by the way N âYeah?â
âPatrick proposed.â
âReally?â Zoe was a little excited. âHe did it when you went to the capital?â
âYeah.â
âGood job, Patrick!â Zoe exclaimed cheerfully. âSo, whenâs the wedding?â
âIn a few months, Iâd say. Iâm meeting his parents in Rocktown, and then thereâs the wedding photos and arranging the wedding luncheon. Thatâd be two or three months.â
âI volunteer as a bridesmaid,â Zoe said eagerly, though she soon remembered. âWait, curses⦠Iâm already married and have a child. That disqualifies me.â
âI donât care about that. You and Quinn will be my bridesmaids when the time comes.â
âReally?â
âMy wedding, my call.â
âWhat about Patrick?â
âI donât mind,â Patrick quickly replied upon hearing Zoe over the phone just then. âIâd give her the world when she said yes. Thatâs nothing in comparison.â
âHow did I get flexed on even over the phone?â Zoe joked.
Still, Cordy said, âAre you forgetting what youâre doing, Zoe?â
Zoe quickly came to her senses. âOkay, okay. Iâm hanging up. n After putting away her phone, Zoe quickly got in the elevator, having seen that it stopped on the fifteenth floor just now.
What department could it be, she wondered?
She nervously pressed the button, and it took her to the fifteenth floor, which was unusually quietâ¦
Just like a typical WIP zone.
Still, just as she was about to enter, a nurse promptly intercepted her, âSorry, miss, but is there someone youâre looking for? Not everyone is allowed entry in this area.â
Zoe naturally left home with a complete disguise, so the nurse did not recognize her just then.
Still, she blurted, âJay Parker.â
The nurse looked up the name in the system and said, âIâm sorry, but we donât have a patient with that name.â
âNo?â Zoe became agitated. âI just saw him come hereâ¦â
âHe might be visiting a patient-â
âSo he really was cheating?!â Zoe cried out in agitation.
On the other hand, the nurse found Zoe looking familiar, and recognized her soon enough, âWait, arenât you Zoe York?â
âOh, uhâ¦â
âIâm a big fan! Iâve shipped you and Mr. Parker all this while! Did you come looking for him? He just went in,â the nurse said, suddenly a lot more talkative.
âYeah, I am,â Zoe replied, actually feeling a little embarrassed that the nurse was suddenly so enthusiastic.
âThen get registered. Standard procedure, Iâm afraid..â
âOkay.â Zoe agreed to it right away, experiencing celebrity privilege for the first time.
While she registered herself, she asked, âWho is Jay visiting? It The nurse was going to tell her, but soon remembered something and apologized, âIâm sorry, but I canât say because of doctor-patient confidentiality. We have been given strict orders, too.â
Zoe did not press the issue either and headed into the wards after getting registered, all while wondering who Jay was visiting.
Could it really be his secret lover?
However, just as she apprehensively checked each ward, Jayâs voice suddenly boomed over the hallway, âDoctor!â
There was a clear urgency in his voice, and Zoe was startled since Jay was always calm and composed.
That was, unless it was something serious!
