Chapter 145 - Acceptance

"Are they fine with it?"

J just nodded her head again.

"How about Dr. Jacob?"

J thought about Jacob. Obviously, he was more than fine with it. But she just nodded her head and said. "We've been living together for more than two months now."

Diana's mouth gaped in astonishment. The CEO whom she has heard of not planning to get married and her friend that she knew is not planning to get married as well were now married to each other and now living together? She's having a hard time to process this information that she just heard. If she didn't hear it from J personally, she wouldn't believe it. She thought that this introvert friend of hers will grow old and die alone.

"I'm sorry that I only told this to you just now. Back then I thought that grandfather was just hallucinating. But it turns out that it was real." J said apologetically.

Diana snapped back and heard what J told her. She smiled at her and said. "That's alright with me. I know you must have been shocked at the big news. And I am glad that you seemed to have accepted it now. Because if not, you wouldn't have told me about it."

Has she accepted it? J thought to herself. Diana was right. Because if not, she wouldn't have told it to her or Lance. She will immediately file a divorce and this marriage will not last for another week.

"There are a lot of things that I still have to tell you but, we're out of time. My lunch break is almost over. So, I'll have to go. I'll see you around." J was about to stand up from her seat.

"And oh... by the way. Drop by Jacob's office after your shift. I'll wait for you there. See you!" then she hurriedly walked out of the cafeteria leaving Diana confused.

"Huh?"

The rest of J's duty was spent cleaning the OR Theatre and the surgical instruments that were used earlier and getting them ready to be sent for autoclaving. After she was done, she returns back to the Nurses Station and saw Dr. Aaron Choi while Nurse Simon and Maggie is in the OR Theatre Two assisting a C-section and Head Nurse Jing and Nurse Pete went out to endorse one of their post-op patients back to the ward.

Dr. Aaron Choi was sitting in a chair in the Nurse's Station. J take a sit in a vacant chair, grab a patient's chart and started writing down her notes. Then she heard Dr. Aaron Choi cleared his throat. J noticed that he is acting a little awkward. So, she asked, "Do you have something to say Dr. Choi?" without taking her eyes to the patient's chart.

Dr. Aaron Choi takes a deep breath, "Actually, I have something to ask you."

"Go on." J sounds overbearing. But Dr. Aaron Choi was used to it. Although he is the head of the Department of Surgery, he was always felt intimidated by J.

"Do you have a relationship with Dr. Jacob?" J was stunned when she heard Dr. Aaron's question. She didn't look at his direction but in the corner of her eyes, she can see that he was intently looking at her with a frown.
