To Our Pure Little Beauty

Chapter 47

“You’re a doctor, she’s a nurse, how are you going to relieve the other from duty?” I asked.

Doctor Jisoo’s reply was clear and simple, “Her boyfriend is a doctor here.”

I thought about it for a while, mumbling under my breath, afterwards grinning from ear to ear I said, “Half and half?”

“Deal.” Doctor Jisoo replied hurriedly in a manner of someone competing in a game show.

The little nurse looked at us cluelessly, there was a pile of question marks on her forehead.

I cleared my throat, then snuck my hand under the quilt to pinch my thigh, after two seconds, I said, with tears streaming down my cheeks, “I………I cried……….”

When the little nurse came to realise what transpired, she stomped her feet, complaining, “You guys are…….you guys are working together! I curse you both………to be in low blood sugar!”

I wiped my tears dry, feeling very proud of myself, my few drops of tears were exchanged for Jungkook being relieved from 5 shifts of duty. I’m truly a virtuous wife and a good mother.

The little nurse kept on harping that her boyfriend would kill her, she then left the room wailing endlessly.

“Since it’s just low blood sugar, then when will I be discharged?” I asked, interrupting Doctor Jisoo who was in high spirits as she eagerly count the days where she would not be on duty.

She said, “This, I don’t know, just wait for Doctor Jeon to tell you when he comes back.”

“En.” I  nodded, I was thinking that staying inside the hospital just because of low blood sugar is a bit ridiculous.

I didn’t see Jungkook even until noon, I wondered why his meeting was taking so long. Doctor Jisoo bought lunch and ate together with me inside the room but the taste was lacking. Moreover, just as in the past, she kept on bombarding me with her logically strange jokes. I had a really tough meal.

Just after we’ve finished eating our lunch, Sehun surprisingly came to visit me. He said he phoned me early in the morning, but Jungkook was the one who answered it, he told him I fainted due to low blood sugar and got admitted to the hospital. Sehun told him he’s going to come visit me. He also didn’t fail to mock me for being hospitalized just because of low blood sugar.

His smile was a little wan, and when he spoke, he kept on dodging my gaze. My heart felt like it was slowly sinking, in the end, I wasn’t able to bear it, and asked him, “What really happened?”

“Joy left, and that man went on a vacation abroad.” He said.

“Wait for her to come back.” I said. “Or perhaps, try to look for her.”

He shook his head, then said, “I can’t, I applied for a transfer back to New Zealand. The truth is, the general headquarters has always wanted me to go back, I just didn’t agree to them before.”

“But now you do?”

“Yes, I’m already leaving the day after tomorrow.”

“So you’re here to say goodbye?”

“Yes, this time I’m leaving together with the head, so I don’t know when we can see each other again?” He offered a reluctant smile.

I casted him a look of disdain, “Foreign devil, don’t learn from others to speak in such a genteel way.”

Then we both feigned to be amused by the other.

We faced each other silently for a while, I finally couldn’t hold back myself from saying, “Do you not remember what you’ve once told me? If love couldn’t conquer all, then how could you call it love?”
