Chapter 164 - Cold Treatment

"Oh... don't mind her. At first, she is quite intimidating. But she is good. She is just so serious and quiet. She is one of the top nurses in this hospital and the best here in the OR. She is wise and hard working. Some of our surgeons like Dr. Gonzales and even Dr. Jacob only wants her to assist them in their operation." Head Nurse Jing praised her.

"Even Jacob? She must be that good." Dr. Ivanov voiced out her doubt.

"She really is that good. Earlier you said, she can perform a CS alone? Actually, she can perform CABG with her eyes closed. Ha-ha."

J who just arrived and heard Head Nurse Jing's words can't help but sigh. "You're exaggerating things Head Nurse Jing."

"Oh, you're done cleaning the Operating Theater?" Head Nurse Jing was a little taken aback being caught talking behind her.

"Yeah," J replied nonchalantly. Then she gets the patient's chart to finish documentation.

The rest of the day, J kept herself busy by lecturing Diana. But Diana noticed that J was not in herself the whole day, because she seemed to be repeating some of the details that she has already said. She was afraid to ask her about Dr. Ivanov's kiss to Jacob, she doesn't seem to be in the mood to talk about it. And knowing her temper, just a look from her might send her to the ER for hyperventilation.

Jacob has been calling Diana as well to check out on J, apparently, Jacob was trying to call J but she didn't answer all his calls. Diana never saw J looked at her phone so she assumed that her phone is on silent mode or probably in the locker.

James is watching Jacob pacing back and forth inside his office. He keeps on flipping his phone, he was trying to call J a couple of times now since morning but she hasn't answered any of his calls. He just found out from Diana that J seemed to be angry and out of herself. He also found out that J kicked out a trash bin inside the OR Theater out of irritation.

He wanted to come down in the Department of Surgery but he was stopped by James. He says that if he went down impulsively and talk it out with J, someone might saw them and their marriage will be instantly brought to the public which would add up to J's anger.

Jacob was agitated. He knew that Stella is back in the hospital but he never expected Stella would act that way in front of other nurses and doctor. When Stella followed him abroad five years ago, he had already told her that he doesn't want a relationship with her or with anybody. Thou they never had a relationship she always seemed to be so clingy to him, and it irks Jacob to the point that he blocked her number on his phone.

When Jacob told her rudely that she should stop hoping that they will have a serious relationship, more so a marriage, Stella immediately left heartbroken. She didn't contact him ever since that day. Who would of thought that she would just appear and act intimately with him in front of more people? More so, in front of his wife.

Jacob turned to James and said, "Tell Stella to come up here."
