Karen hid the report that she had just received from the nurse. Shortly after, the nurse who assisted her earlier came back with her perfectly healthy body report. After thanking the nurse, Karen excused herself to the restroom where she tossed Susu's report into the trash.
With a chilling grin on her face, she exited the bathroom. Inside the restroom, a woman spoke loudly to her manager, sounding irritated, "I told you that I'm quitting the agency! I want to retire and lead my own life. I am sick and tired of being followed whenever I have dates with my boyfriend!"
She flushed the toilet and stomped out to wash her hands, "I don't care if I am breaching the damn contract! This miss here, will do whatever she wishes. I am not accepting any more jobs and once I'm done with the last job on hand, I am announcing my retirement! That's that, and I am not going to be easily sweet talked by you to go back to this hell hole again!"
She hung up the call and aggressively ripped out a few paper towels in hand. She wiped her wet hands, tossed the used paper towel towards the trash and missed the shot by a few centimeters. "Tsk, everything isn't going my way! Ugh!!!"
The moment she stood up to throw the paper towel away, she saw the name, "Yin Susu?" Quickly, she ignored the dirty towels covering the report and took the stapled report out. Though some parts of the report were slightly wet from being stuffed with other trash, it was still legible.
"Yin..Susu.. body report examination results... Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia??? What the f*ck is this doing here? No, wait, why is it here to begin with? Maybe it could be the wrong person. It can't be Susu's."
The woman stormed out of the bathroom and rushed to a certain laboratory room with her access card in hand towards her boyfriend's office, "Lin Que!!! I need you right now!"
Lin Que turned around and pulled off his surgical gloves, "Oh my honey, Lily, it's still daylight and you're already this bold?"
She didn't have time to flirt with him. Sitting on his lap and facing him, she took out Susu's report and asked, "Show me the security footage of when this patient ever admitted to the hospital! I need it urgent!!!"
Lin Que took the report from her hands and recognized her name immediately, "Oh! It's the pretty lady who almost drowned with her stepsister the other day. I know who she is, but how did you get this report? Did you go through the files in the database again for a friend? Hmmmm?"
She crossed her arms and calmed her breathing, "Hmph! I know there are many treasures in this hospital, but never thought I would find this in the lady's room's trash!"
"Of course, cause the most valuable treasure is in front of you. And that's odd because I personally handed this file to the nurse and told her to give Yin Susu a call because she didn't stay long enough to see her report. That's very odd.... let me check if there is some misunderstanding going on."
A dangerous glint flashed her eyes as he started dialing the nurse's number on his cell phone, "Wait." She stopped his fingers from pressing the dial icon.
"What?""\
"You said Yin Susu and her stepsister was admitted the other day together. What's her stepsister's name?"
"Kara? K.. Karen! That's her name."
Lily's expression turned extremely ugly after checking the hospital footage and seeing the report in her hands. "This is a personal issue involving my friend. I know it is against the rules for me to ask you this, but can you tell me if Karen Yin visited the hospital today?"
"As long as you promise not to disclose her private information to anyone else, I can check for you. But don't act recklessly. It feels like you figured something out just now and it isn't a good type of news." He spun his chair towards the computer screen with her still on his lap and typed in Karen's name.
"Yep. She came in today for a blood test. The nurse might have mistaken her for her stepsister, but why didn't she say something if she received the wrong report? Anyways, let me ask the nurse to make sure that she didn't lose the report or something." He reached out for his phone.
"Okay." She got off him and waited patiently for an answer. As she had suspected, Karen was mistaken for Susu because of their surname. That means that the report was thrown out by Karen so that nobody would ever find out about Susu's illness!
"Thanks baby, I'll reward you tonight. For now, I have something more important to do. I'm going to bring this report to the right owner and plan a nice present for Miss Karen." she waved the report in her hand as she walked out. The nurse was terminated after making such a critical amateur mistake.
Susu had finished shopping with Chen Mu when Beethoven's Fifth Symphony went off form her cell phone and gave her a scare, "I swear... every single time this angel calls... the ringtone is enough to give me a heart attack..."
Chen Mu peeked from the side, "Ohh, it's that popular front cover model! The friend who made us play truth or dare and ended up losing herself!"
"Pfffft, wow, you sure have a deep impression of her." She chuckled and answered the call.
Lily was in the middle of driving, "Darling, where are you right now? We need to have a talk. It's very urgent."
"Hmm? I'm at the lower parking lot of the Skylight Mall with Chen Mu. I'm so glad you called, Hun. I have so much that I wanted to tell you." Lily was the only girl friend that Susu had, whom she could comfortably address each other with nicknames. Over the many years of concentrating on Tian Yuo, Susu never had friends who genuinely wanted to be with her. Therefore, Susu treasured Lily and treated her as her own sister.
"I need to speak with you alone. Can you have Chen Mu come back to pick you up later or go shop somewhere while we sit and talk?" The urgency in her tone worried Susu greatly as she never heard Lily's stuttering voice before.
"Okay. I'll meet you on the second floor, in front of Mashushi restaurant. As for Chen Mu, I'll ask him what he prefers. I'll see you in a bit." She hung up the call, explained that something was wrong, and she needs some private time with Lily. Chen Mu understood and put the bags of products in the trunk of his car before patting her head, "Then I'll leave first. Call me if you need anything."
"Mmm..." She waved him goodbye and headed back to the mall.
