When She Stops Playing Nice

Chapter 421
The force was harsh, sending Cathy sprawling to the ground. Looking down at her, Ashley sneered, "I feel like hitting you, so I will. And you'll have to take
With a malicious glint in her eyes, Ashley even considered kicking Cathy in the stomach. She dared to act without restraint, viewing Cathy as a mere nurse. If she couldn't handle Gina, could she handle any nurse in the
Spital?
"What's going on here, Miss Jackson?" Dylan approached, his tone stem. He had called Cathy from Neurology to assist with an urgent matter. When Cathy didn't show up, he checked on her, only to witness Ashley bullying her.

"The nurses in this hospital must be blind as bats," Ashley taunted. "How can they bump into me o lesson.
With a twisted grin, Ashley continued, "Well, Dr. Thomas, you might want to speak with Miss Miller. Can patients truly feel safe in your hospital with such rude and careless nurses on staff?"
Dylan could see Ashley was deliberately stirring trouble. "I've got to ask, Miss Jackson, about your upbringing. Even if she accidentally bumped into you, was it necessary to resort to such violence? Your manners leave much to be desired."
"You!" Ashley's face flushed a deeper shade of green with anger. Then she remembered the doctor's advice about staying calm for the sake of her unborn child. Ashley clenched her jaw, deciding to put pressure on Cathy instead. "So what if I gave you a good smack? Do you expect an apology from me?"
Ashley had made up her mind. If this bold nurse dared to demand an apology, she'd have someone deal with her.
Cathy, naturally, didn't dare to demand an apology from Ashley. "I'm fine... Miss Jackson. I'm truly sorry. Please, simmer down," Cathy muttered, swallowing her pride.
She was just an ordinary person. What else could she do but take the hit?
Cathy's response satisfied Ashley. With a sardonic grin, she glanced at Dylan. "Well, at least someone knows their place."
Dylan understood that Cathy didn't dare to cross Ashley. It wasn't worth getting all tangled up in this trivial matter, especially when he had other business, He motioned for Cathy to follow him. "Let's go."
As they walked, Dylan asked, "You still planning to head to the medicine land later to assist Gina with herbs?"
Cathy shook her head. "Miss Miller said it isn't necessary for now"
"Alright then." Dylan didn't press further. His concern was whether Cathy could stay on for overtime.
Their conversation caught Ashley's attention.
Was this nurse directly under Gina's command?
Ashley's curiosity was sparked.
Suddenly, she wondered, could that nurse have deliberately bumped into her earlier?
The thought reignited Ashley's anger.
Could it be that Gina intentionally placed this nurse in the hospital to cause trouble for her?
After all, Gina knew she was conducting IVF experiments at Prover Hospital.
Well, well...these two schemers!
She wouldn't let any of them off the hook.

The following day, Ashley returned to the hospital with one purpose in mind-to find Cathy. She casually wandered the corridors until she unexpectedly stumbled upon Cathy. "Hold it right there!"
Cathy hadn't anticipated reencountering Ashley, and her presence sont a shiver down her spine. Reluctantly, she complied with Ashley's demand.
The latter instinctively retreated as Ashley drew closer to Cathy, putting some space between them.
Amused by Cathy's apparent fear, Ashley couldn't help but chuckle, "What's got you so rattled? You think I'm going to devour you?"
Cathy stood frozen in place, uncertain of Ashley's intentions.
Without beating around the bush, Ashley got straight to the point. "What's your connection to Gina?"
Cathy was caught off guard. "We don't have any connection. Miss Miller is my boss. She hired me to work as a nurse at the hospital"
"is that so? Besides that, have you been running any other errands for her?" Ashley pressed further.
Perplexed, Cathy wondered what else she could have done for Miss Miller.
"No, I haven't
She responded truthfully.
Ashley smirked thoughtfully, "Really? If I catch you lying, there will be
consequences."
Ashley firmly believed that Cathy was acting on Gina's orders with ill intentions toward her unborn child.
Cathy felt unnerved and frustrated by Ashley's persistent threats.
However, she couldn't confront Ashley directly, so she replied weakly, "Alright, Miss Jackson, you go ahead and investigate. I've got work to do and can't linger
Just as Cathy was about to leave, Ashley stopped her. "Hold on. I need a favor from you."
Cathy hesitated, fearing it might be something unpleasant, but she couldn't refuse Ashley.
The next moment, Ashley casually said, "Could you grab me a bottle of water
from the nearby store?"
Cathy was surprised by the unexpected request.
Ashley handed over 20 dollars. "There you go. What're you standing around for?"
Cathy accepted the money and headed toward the hospital entrance. Ashley
trailed behind, intending to get Cathy out of Prover Hospital before any
confrontation or surveillance caught them.
