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

Chapter 45: Love Is Blind Chapter 45: Love Is Blind As Nurse Courage and Nnenna made their way around the corner, they came face to face with the group of nurses gossiping in the hallway.

The moment the nurses saw Nurse Courage, some of them, whose consciences were still intact, lowered their gazes in shame.

But others, whose moral compasses had long since faded, didn’t even flinch, continuing to ignore her, making it clear they didn’t care whether she overheard their cruel words or not.

Nurse Courage stood tall, walking with Nnenna into the elevator.

With a calm, unwavering gaze, she stared at each of them in turn, her eyes challenging them to acknowledge the woman they had been gossiping about.

Nnenna felt a pang of guilt for her role in exposing Reuben’s true nature.

While she knew it was necessary, she couldn’t help but feel responsible for drawing the unwanted attention to Nurse Courage.

Back in the privacy of Nnenna’s room, she checked Nnenna’s ankle carefully.

After a quick call to a doctor, Nnenna underwent an x-ray, and thankfully, the results came back clear.

Everything was fine.

Still, Nurse Courage couldn’t seem to find any peace, her mind racing.

Lying on the bed, Nnenna closed her eyes in frustration but couldn’t sleep.

“Love System,” she whispered, the guilt from the earlier situation pressing heavily on her.

“I messed up.

Now everyone knows about what Nurse Courage is going through.

How can she continue working like this?” The system’s voice responded calmly “It’s not over, Nnenna.
