Meeting You Was Fate

A sudden gentle voice broke the warm harmonious atmosphere between the two.
"Doctor Zhou?"
The speaker was a neatly dressed woman. She wore a white coat and had her hair rolled up. Standing in front of the nurse
station, she gave everyone a pleasant smile.
Mandy was confused with the sudden greeting. She turned around and saw Angelina standing there with a smile.
It had been three years, and Angelina still looked the same. Even when she smiled, people couldn't help but feel that she was an
unapproachable goddess. Just like her name, she looked like a noble and pure lady.
Mandy was frozen for a while. She didn't expect that Angelina would take the initiative to talk after their fight. Last time, when
they met at the JR Hospital, she was resigning, and they were still cutthroat enemies. Instead of getting along, they would fight at
every chance they could get. Thinking back now, that seemed like a childish thing to do.
To ease the embarrassment, Angelina smiled again and said, "Oh... I was wrong. You are Mrs. Jin now. How have you been
recently?"
Mandy stood up and gave Angelina an intense and suspicious gaze. But nothing could hide the delight that floated in her eyes.
She flashed a bright smile and said, "I'm fine. What about you?"
"Life in the hospital is more or less the same. Every day is a fulfilling day. But without our lead cardiologist, Doctor Zhou, it's so
boring." Angelina winked at Mandy while showing her neat row teeth.
Mandy was caught off-guard by the sudden 'naughty' gesture made by the cold and noble Angelina.
Therefore, the great adage said, "Never judge a man by his past." And another one stated that "Appearances can be deceiving."
Previously, Mandy and Angelina could never get along. When Mandy was acting as the director of JR Hospital, she was always
warm and kind to all the employees and staff. Angelina, on the contrary, always kept a cold face and kept everyone at arm's
length. Everyone thought she had a princess complex, and not many people liked her.
However, after Mandy resigned from her post, Angelina seemed to have changed a lot. She became much warmer and treated
everyone well. Everyone, from the staff to the patients, spoke highly of her.

"I didn't expect that Doctor Liu would think so highly of me. I'm so flattered!" Mandy replied with a gentle smile. Her smile made
people think they were soaking in the spring breeze.
"What can I say, Doctor Zhou? Even though we were incompatible in the past, I couldn't help but miss you after you left. I always
loved the feeling of being perfect, but then I met you. Quarreling and competing with you was so much fun that after you left, I
only stayed to find the next you. Needless to say, I always came back empty-handed."
"Fate is such a wonderful thing, right? It can turn two besties into strangers. They can talk and discuss all they want—but one
wisp of fate—and they will become complete strangers. It can even make enemies act like close friends. They might even sit on
the same table while calmly drinking tea and talking about the weather." Mandy sighed. It took her many years to understand this
truth.
Angelina smiled and asked, "Mandy, are you free tonight? I'll treat you to dinner. And Cas, join us too, okay?"
"Okay. But it's my treat this time." Mandy checked her wristwatch for the time. It was a Patek Philippe couple's watch. The
watches complemented each other when they were worn by a couple. It was almost time to get off work, so Mandy decided to
ask Nathan to pick Adrian up from the kindergarten later.
After getting back with Nathan, she seldom made an appointment with friends or went out alone. The only appointment she ever
made was with her family. She felt quite lonely with no one to talk to other than Nathan. She was also alienated from her friends.
Even her best friend, Sharon, didn't stay with her till the end.
Only because she was in the car with Sharon when the accident happened, could she get acquainted with Nathan. Otherwise,
they would still be complete strangers to each other. Sharon was the one who connected her and Nathan's fate and helped them
form an intimate bond.
Mandy believed in fate. She believed that she could have a good chat with Angelina after so many years. And as a fellow
believer of fate, their conversation shouldn't be too boring.
Moreover, Mandy and Angelina didn't hate each other all that much. It was just a fit of slight jealousy on Angelina's part. She was
jealous because Mandy was so young, talented, and beautiful! She even became the director of the hospital while Angelina
could only look on. The envy was...natural.
Angelina studied in the field of clinical trials for five years. In those five years of college, she would study until late and only sleep
after twelve o'clock. The time at college was abrasive, but she still gritted her teeth, and through sheer determination, she made

it. Angelina belonged to a common family, and they had only earned the minimum wage. So, her parents had only one desire:
that she succeeded in her life.
Her parents didn't want her to marry some rich man. Because they were an ordinary family, they didn't want to get involved with
the rich. However, when Angelina was in college, she fell in love with a senior who studied medicine along with her. They got into
a relationship, but that didn't last long, and soon, they broke up. After that, she wasn't keen on getting married. Finally, she
turned thirty and met her husband. He was ten years older than her, but the love was still there. He was the general manager of
a real estate company, and his income was not bad.
Angelina would always wonder why could Mandy get everything she wanted so easily? Was it because she was young and
beautiful? When Mandy was promoted to director, Angelina was really unconvinced. She always thought that she had a chance
at the director's seat. But unexpectedly, Mandy had a strong background and took the position of director that she had long
dreamed of. This made her see Mandy as an enemy.
In the following years after Mandy's departure, Angelina's temper toned down a lot. But even then, she hated people who used
their background to enter the hospital. And Audrey was one such case. Moreover, Angelina actually hated Audrey instead of just
feeling jealous, like in Mandy's case. The hypocritical Audrey was way more annoying than Mandy.
Angelina smiled as she recalled the past. But she got distracted when Mandy's phone rang.
Mandy smiled. It was from Miss Ren from kindergarten, so she wasn't all that worried.
However, before Mandy could say anything, Miss Ren hurriedly said, "Mrs. Jin, it's bad! Adrian fell down and got injured when he
was playing. He is bleeding now and should be taken to the hospital as soon as possible."
"What? Why is he constantly bleeding? Where did he get hurt?" Mandy was so nervous that her heart sank, and she could no
longer control her voice.
Her reaction shocked Angelina and Cassie. They looked at each other and frowned. They knew someone got in an accident but
had no idea who it was.
"He fell to the ground, and his knees got bruised. His calves are also injured. I am in an ambulance now. I'm on my way to a
hospital near the kindergarten. It seems to be the JR Hospital. Mrs. Jin, come here quickly." Holding her phone in her hand, Miss
Ren was trembling with cold sweat.
Adrian was the only child of Nathan Jin and Mandy. If something happened to the boy, she couldn't handle the consequences.

Getting injured in a kindergarten was a normal thing for children, and it was unavoidable for them to stumble once or twice. But
Adrian's knee injury was different. The bleeding wasn't stopping, and with each drop of blood spilled, Miss Ren's fear increased.
