Chapter 12: Meeting the Mysterious Man Again

Finally, when the time came, she made her way to the far end of the VIP ward, heading for the man's room.

As she approached, her steps faltered when she noticed two familiar figures standing outside his door, the male nurses that day.

This time, they were not leaving their post. Their stony expressions and straight backed stance made it clear they were taking their job seriously now.

One of the men spotted her as she got closer. His eyes narrowed. "This area is restricted. Go back."

Nnenna froze in place, unsure of how to get past them. She glanced around, hoping for an opening, but their stance did not waver. They looked like unyielding statues.

Unaware of the commotion outside, two young men sat across from each other at a small table, a chessboard between them.

One of them was the mysterious man, still seated in his wheelchair, his dark eyes focused intently on the board. The other was a young male doctor in a white lab coat, a playful grin on his face.

"Four, I heard a very beautiful girl saved you two days ago hehe," the doctor teased, moving a pawn forward. "What do you think? Was she as pretty as they say?"
