They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System

Chapter 44

Chapter 44: Office Gossip Chapter 44: Office Gossip Realizing Nurse Courage didn’t want to talk about her pain, Nnenna decided to let it slide, for now.

But before leaving, she leaned in and whispered softly, her voice laced with care, “Mommy Courage, if someone truly loves you, they wouldn’t shout at you or make you cry like this.” The words hung in the air as Nurse Courage blinked at her, startled.

Her lips parted as if to respond, but no words came out.

Instead, a shadow of doubt flickered in her eyes, and Nnenna knew she had planted another seed.

Nnenna paused mid step and decided to press on.

She turned to Nurse Courage and said with a sincere tone, “Mommy Courage, your fiancé scares me.

He doesn’t seem to respect you.

And like I said before, I don’t think that’s how someone who truly loves you should behave.

Please, be careful.” Nurse Courage let out a soft laugh, though it lacked its usual warmth.

“What do you know about relationships and love?

You’re just 15.” But her voice wavered slightly, betraying her doubt.

She added, “But okay, I’ve heard you.

Let’s go back inside now.

We need to check on your ankle.” They held hands as they made their way back into the hospital, though Nurse Courage’s mind seemed far away.

Her absent minded demeanor only worsened when they passed a group of orderlies and nurses clustered together, deep in discussion.

“Did you see what happened in the cafeteria?” one of the younger nurses said, her voice low but audible enough to reach them.
