Chapter 507 - An Exhausting Day

It has been exactly a week since J and Jacob spent the New Year at the Loghouse in Naupaka Mountain. They were now back in the hospital. It was an exhausting yet fulfilling day for J. It was 'toxic' as what the medical persons would say, or in layman's term, busy.

The morning started with cardiac surgery with Dr. Gonzales that takes about 5 hours. Although Diana has been training under Dr. Gonzales to be his assisting nurse, if the circumstances allow him to, he would still prefer J, which other nurses don't mind at all knowing how exhausting each and every surgery of Dr. Gonzales.

Then after the cardiac surgery, there was an incident that needed the OR Teams' help. Apparently, there was a shoot out and most of the victims were sent to CLP Hospital. 3 of them have to be wheeled to the OR for surgery. And since it was an emergency case, Dr. Aaron Choi has to take one of them with two nurses with him. Dr. Jacob who was fortunately in his office on the 10th floor volunteered to take one of the cases and therefore making J busy again after the cardiac surgery with Dr. Gonzales since Jacob wishes only her to assist her.

Although Jacob hesitated because he knows that his wife would get tired after this nonstop surgeries, J insisted because other nurses will be assisting another surgeon on deck to operate on another patient.

So Jacob was left without an option.

J arrived at Evergreen Villa feeling exhausted. Jacob has to go to Twelve Army Headquarters so it was only J and Arthur' Team. It was already 6 pm. Her shift was supposed to end at 3 pm but because of the outpour of patients, they all worked overtime. It was already 5 pm when her shift ended.

She dragged her tired body into the bedroom, she wasn't even able to change clothes. She dropped her dead body into the king-size bed. She didn't know when she fell asleep.

She was awakened by the continuous ringing of her phone that is still on her bag. She opened her eyes and searched for the clock on the bedside table to check on the time.

8 Pm.

Urgh... I hope Lulu cooked dinner. She wished internally. She forced herself to sit on the bed and searched for her phone that is now ringing for the second time.

She was surprised when she saw that it was Leo who is calling her. She had a bad feeling about this.

She immediately answers the phone. She waited for Leo to speak. When she was sure it was him, she replied. "Yes? What's wrong?"

When she heard Leo's reply, her eyes widened, her hands trembled and in an instant, her face was drained out of the blood. Tears started to flow down her cheeks like a river.

She didn't know how she mustered to come up with words and asked him a lot of questions.

In the end, she said, "Take Felix with you."

But Leo was obstinate in refusing.

Yet, J was adamant. She knows that Leo is a one-man team. He is used to working alone and never asked for assistance from anyone. But, J just cannot let him work alone in his condition. She wanted to at least have someone that she could call. Because once Leo set out alone in his mission, she was sure that he would not answer any calls.

And she cannot just sit around in the dark. She has to know what is going on in every second. That is why she still insisted on sending Felix to help him even if he refused to.

Diana... She thought of her. Why does it have to be her? What would happen to Diana now? Then she thought of Diana's condition. There is a high possibility that Diana's condition will worsen because of this. She just hoped that she doesn't.

Her eyes were flooded again with tears. Diana's condition is getting better now. She is happy with her life having Leo and Timothy. Why does it have to happen to her?

When Leo hangs up, the last thing he told J is to watch over Timothy for the meantime.
