His Real Wedded Bride

Chapter 1214 Comfortable With The Male Nursing Assistant

Grabbing Cassie's arm, the nurse was about to say something. Breaking out of the nurse's grip, Cassie

ran towards the exit of the hospital.

"There's something I need to do urgently. I have to leave. I will catch up with you later," Cassie shouted

loudly as she headed straight for the gate.

Shaking her head at Cassie's retreating figure, the nurse sighed heavily. The nurse determined to

figure out what was going on between her and the patient the moment Cassie returned to the hospital.

At the hospital.

Nick was having lunch which his nursing assistant had brought him. The food was really bad. Besides

that, he also had no appetite, which only made it worse. He only managed to take a few small bites.

After finishing the meal, he took a long deserving nap. Noticing that the patient dozed off, the nursing

assistant left the ward as he thought that he finally had time to take a break.

Over an hour later, he woke up. With nothing to do, he started playing on his phone in bed.

In fact, Nick could get out of bed and walk around on his own. However, since he was still weak, he

wouldn't be able to go too far or do physical labor work. That was exactly why he needed a nursing

assistant to help him move around and bring him water and food.

Before Nick was admitted to the hospital, he was caught up in his work. Nevertheless, he now felt a

little stressed since he had nothing to do.

After he spent some time reading the news on his phone, he put his phone aside and sat up straight.

Just as he was about to get out of his bed to take a walk, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Nick didn't look at the door, as he wasn't expecting anyone but his nursing assistant. He quickly said, "I

don't need your help right now. You can continue with whatever you were doing."

"Nick!"

A familiar and excited female voice graced his ears.

Nick recognized the girl's voice immediately. He was stunned, as he was well aware who it was. He

looked towards the door and found Cassie standing there.

At the sight of the girl smiling at him, Nick withdrew his gaze from her face. His eyes then fell on the

thermos food jar in her hand.

She walked up to his bed and gently placed the food jar on his bedside table. Without saying a word,

she opened it and filled a bowl of chicken soup.

Taken aback, Nick just stared at her. Looking at the thermos food jar, he speculated that there was food

inside. He also drew the conclusion that Cassie prepared it for him. Even though he had foreseen her

intention, he still felt extremely nervous.

Before he had the chance to react, Cassie turned towards him and handed him the bowl of soup.

"Here, please have some soup. It's good for your health," she cooed, staring at the patient with her soft

and endearing eyes.

Nick's hand shook slightly. He was nervous and even felt his heart skipping a beat. Despite that, he

didn't show his true feelings on his face.

Looking at the handsome young man, she couldn't help but let out a laugh. From the moment she had

entered the room, she could tell he felt uncomfortable. "Why are you acting so strange? You're not

afraid that I poisoned the food, are you?" she cracked a joke, fixing her eyes on him.

Embarrassed by her question, he dropped his gaze to avoid eye contact with her. It was no secret that

Cassie made him ridiculously uncomfortable. He was completely oblivious about what to do next.

"Oh, just take it. I have a relative who was ill in the hospital. I made her some soup. So, I thought of you

and brought you some. Don't think too much of it," Cassie persuaded.

Upon hearing this, Nick had no reason but to accept the meal. He scratched his hair and took the bowl

from her.

The soup looked good and had a pleasant smell. Just by smelling it, he knew it would taste good.

Besides, he hadn't eaten much during lunchtime. He was indeed very hungry, so he quickly drank up

the soup.

'That is the most delicious chicken soup I have ever had. She must have added some special herbs to

the soup. Otherwise, it wouldn't have tasted this good, ' he remarked to himself.

He wanted to ask her for the recipe, as he was curious about which herbs she had used to prepare it.

He wanted to cook it at home himself. He opened his mouth and then swallowed his question.

Noticing that the patient was ill at ease, Cassie immediately changed the topic to interrupt the awkward

atmosphere. "I absolutely love to cook! I added some bay leaves which gave it a subtle flavor to

improve the taste of the soup. What do you think? It's good, right?" she hinted.

Nick's answer was an assuring nod. He then added sincerely, "Yes, it was really good. I enjoyed it."

His positive answer pleased Cassie. She stole him a quick glance bashfully and blurted out, "Well, if

you really like it, I can make it for you every day."

'What did she just say?' he exclaimed in his head. He was taken aback by her words. 'I don't even

know her that well. We aren't even friends yet, which means that it is inappropriate for me to accept her

kindness, ' he thought, overwhelmed by her warmth.

He was indeed so tensed up that his voice started to falter. With a rattled expression pondering on his

face, he stammered, "N-No, thanks, Cassie. I am well aware that you nurses have a lot of work to do.

Please go take care of your duties. I can handle myself. Please..."

Before Nick could even finish his sentence, Cassie interrupted abruptly. "No, I will be responsible for

you and attend to you from now on. So, you can rest assured. I will do a far better job than your former

nursing assistant did," she announced confidently.

Hearing that she was his new nursing assistant, he was shocked. 'What? When did I get a new nursing

assistant? Why didn't anyone tell me?' he was baffled.

"So, here's the thing. I went to the head nurse to take annual leave and happened to notice that your

nursing assistant had a lot of things to do, so he wasn't going to be able to attend to you anyway. So, I

volunteered to take his place to look after you. I hope that it's fine with you," Cassie explained

nervously as she detected the uncertainty on his face.

She had made this decision impulsively. In fact, she even lied about his former nursing assistant not

having the time to fulfill his duties. The truth was, she begged the nursing assistant and even bribed

him with cash. That was the only reason why she was able to look after Nick.

Cassie wasn't about to let Nick know the deal she had made with the nursing assistant. All she wanted

to do was spend more time with him and ensure that he was okay.

Nick was unhappy with the arrangement. 'I guess this is fine. I mean, it doesn't really matter who takes

care of me.

However, I don't want Cassie to be that one, ' he mulled.

He felt baffled and had no idea why he felt so uncomfortable with Cassie taking care of him. He didn't

even want to figure it out for himself. 'I have no feelings for her whatsoever and I don't deserve her

being so nice to me, ' he told himself.

"Uh, Cassie...I appreciate your kindness, but... It's nothing personal, but I feel more comfortable with a

male nursing assistant. So..." Nick came up with a valid excuse to turn down her offer.

Cassie had expected that he would turn her down. With a casual smile, she responded, "I understand. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

However, there is no male nursing assistant available. I am afraid that you don't have any other

choice."

Nick's eyes widened with shock. 'Oh, you have to be kidding me! How could this be? Is it even possible

that there isn't any male nursing assistant available to take care of me?' he wondered in disbelief.

Looking at Cassie, he saw an earnest look on her face and started to believe her. After all, it was

impossible for him to find a nurse to figure out whether Cassie was lying or not.

He hesitated for a while, his expression showcasing his stress. Out of options, he decided that he had

to accept it.

'This will be fine...Unlike last time, I don't have to stay here for too long anyway. I'm sure I can be

discharged from the hospital within a couple of days. I can do that, right?' he comforted himself.

He nodded at Cassie in approval.
