One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 451 He’s Only My Ex

At Melrose City Hospital, since Courtney returned, she had been standing at the clinical laboratory window conducting blood samples collections and delivering test results.

“Tell me the truth—are you playing with me? What on earth did you tell Caleb for him to tell my mom that I’m his soulmate and only choice for marriage? No, he must be referring to you.”

“Has Cardiac Surgery found itself a lot of free time lately for you to be able to come to me at your leisure to discuss private matters, Chief Hass? If our superiors catch you…” Exasperated, Courtney eyed Linda, who was reclining in her chair.

“I don’t care if they catch me. I need to clear things up with you by today. If you’re truly interested in Caleb, can’t you just come clean to him about your identity and start dating him?”

“I swear I’m not interested in him. I’m only doing what you told me to.”

“I don’t believe you. If you really did as I told you to, why does he still keep having his maid send you lunch every day—”

“His maid?” Courtney suddenly interrupted. “What are you talking about? What maid? I thought the person delivering lunch was—”

“Chief…” Pushing open the lab door with a panicked look on her face, a nurse on duty interrupted before Courtney could finish speaking. “Oh—Chief Hass, you’re here as well. Is Chief Kenell here?”

“What’s the matter?” Courtney paused for a moment. “Chief Kenell is attending a PTA meeting at her kid’s school. She just left.”

Chief Kenell was the clinical laboratory chief. Because the clinical laboratory department wasn’t as busy receiving patients as other departments, the chief was usually not on-shift in the laboratory.

“Someone outside is throwing a fuss,” the nurse explained anxiously. “I don’t know if she’s a patient, but she wants to see a doctor from the clinical laboratory department. I asked her which doctor it was but she couldn’t tell me, so I hurried here to notify Chief Kenell.”

“Throwing a fuss?” Linda repeated as she stood up. “This batch of patients must be mad! The incident from two days ago made the news. Come now, I’ll help you deal with it.”

Seeing that she was saved, the nurse quickly nodded. “Thank you, Chief Hass.”

After all, Linda Hass was well-known in the hospital for having a temper that could not be crossed. She had her own method of dealing with patients and as of yet, no patient had been able to outmatch her.
