Chloe and her mother Heather returned home by the car. Her mother still had lingering fears, and she was a little out of breath when getting on and off the car.
After taking the shower, Chloe made sure that her mother went to bed before going back to her own bedroom. She didn’t close the door, in case that she could not hear her mother’s voice in the middle of the night.
When she tried to get some sleep, she heard her mother's groan. She hurriedly turned the lights on and rushed to her mother’s bedroom.
Heather clutched her chest, "Chloe, give me the medicine, I'll be fine after taking the medicine."
Seeing that her mother fell ill twice in one day, Chloe decided to send Heather to the hospital immediately. In any case, this time, she would ask the doctor to agree to take her mother a real patient.
After taking a taxi to the hospital, Chloe ran to the emergency room and waited in line for the doctor. At this time, the phone rang, and she saw that it was Morgan's number, so she walked a little farther from her mother and answer the phone.
"Sorry to interrupt you so late. I heard Tommy talk about what happened to you. Feel frightened? By the way, why didn’t you go to bed? It’s midnight," the background sound was rather noisy, and Morgan seemed to be next to some large instrument.
"I'm fine. Besides, I'm a coach myself, am I that easily frightened?"
"Do you need my help?" Morgan keenly noticed the strangeness in her voice.
"My mother had a heart attack. We’re in the hospital," Chloe’s nose was a little sore after hearing his gentle voice. She felt vulnerable and powerless. Even if she has no one to rely on, at least someone could listen to her. She felt somehow relaxed after answering the question.
Someone's urging voice came from the background, as if to ask Morgan to board the plane. However, Morgan ignored him and continued to ask about the situation on Chloe's side.
"Which hospital?"
"I can handle it. Go to work," Chloe understood that Morgan wanted to help, but she was used to do all the things by herself, so she didn't tell him about the hospital.
"Okay, take care," Morgan didn't hesitate any longer. He said that briefly, and hung up the phone.
It was almost morning, and Heather was hungry. Chloe asked nearby patients to help take care of Heather, and she was going to buy breakfast.
Suddenly, more than a dozen military doctors in white coats hurried in, followed by a few soldiers in military uniforms. Their arrival has attracted the attention of patients.
After visiting the hospital for years, Chloe recognized the uniform and saw that most of them are military doctors. There are many experts and professors among them.
Normally, patients have to wait for a long time to see them in person. But now they can see all of them. They were led by a nurse.
"There she is, I saw her." the nurse pointed in the direction of Heather and shouted excitedly.
Chloe recognized the military doctor who was walking in the front. He is the one with a very poor attitude, and also the one with the lowest qualifications in this group of military doctors.
He separated from the crowd, pushed the bed where Heather was lying on, and walked outside. He was extremely attentive. Chloe saw that he was completely different.
Who has told them to come here? Why does the doctor change his attitude towards me and my mom?
Other doctors gathered around and asked Heather some questions.
"Are you Chloe Stewart?" A tall and handsome soldier in a military uniform came over and asked Chloe politely.
Chloe nodded at loss, looking at the scene in front of her.
The soldier grabbed the phone, and reported respectfully, "Sir, I found her, and as you judged, she is in the cardiology department. Yes, we have the strongest medical team. We’re sending the patient to the ward for high-ranking officials now."
All this was arranged by Morgan? Chloe seemed to understand a little.
As soon as they entered the ward, Chloe had the illusion of being in a five-star hotel. The ward of more than 100 square meters is equipped with refrigerator, microwave oven, LCD TV, leather sofa, Wi-Fi, kitchen, luxury bed and shower room. The best thing is that there is a small room that has glass window in the ward, where there will be a nurse 24 hours a day.
"Please wait here for a while, the expert group will draw out a conclusion soon," The nurse led Chloe to the small room and handed her a cup of coffee.
Holding the coffee, Chloe stared at Morgan's number on her phone screen. She was about to call him to say thank you.
At this time, the door of the other ward was opened, Willie came out, and he saw Chloe’s face through the window of the door.
Willie's girlfriend, Reese York, was also in this hospital because of a sore foot. Several old professors with gray hair were with Reese in the ward. Willie took the opportunity to come out to breathe.
"Chloe?" Willie obviously didn't expect to meet his ex-girlfriend here.
After they broke up, Willie still loves Chloe. He was always thinking of having the opportunity to keep in touch with Chloe again, but Chloe refused him once again.
"Let's find a time to sit down and have a good talk. Can you give me another chance? I have a lot of things to tell you," Willie stepped forward and blocked Chloe's way as she was trying to leave the ward.
Yes, Willie was her ex. He gave up Chloe, who was a normal person, and chose Reese who had a strong family background, for a reason.
As a reporter of the well-known newspaper, he found himself a noble girlfriend like Reese. He had both a successful career and romantic relationship. His future life will be splendid and bright.
Seeing that Chloe was still leaving, Willie stepped forward and reached out to hug her, "It’s not what you think, I have to explain to you."
"If you want to explain, ask your girlfriend to come here. The three of us can sit down and have a good talk." Chloe deftly avoided Willie's embrace.
As soon as Chloe mentioned Reese, Willie put down his arms and lowered his eyelids, trying to mask the shaft of pain at Chloe’s words.
In the past, Chloe had always been gentle, considerate and obedient to him, but now she has become so mean, leaving him no room at all.
The same night, Chloe's mother is much better and can speak consciously.
"Chloe, I’m too old. If I die someday, who will take care of you? Did you find someone that you like? If not, I’ll see if there’s any other dating event for single women."
"Mom, you should take a good rest. We can discuss this later. I will listen to you when we get back home, okay? Now go to sleep."
Outside the door, Morgan just came to visit. He heard the conversation at the door and hesitated to knock the door. In the end, he decided to sneak into the small room and leave the flowers there.
Chloe was sleep, so she got up and went to the small room to rest. As soon as she opened the door, she stepped on a soft object. She stumbled on her foot, lost her balance, and fell down.
Instead of falling to the ground, she fell into a man's arms. The military badge on the man's shoulder nearly scratched her hands.
"Are you all right?" Morgan stretched out his hand and turned on the lamp on the table. Under the incandescent light, the handsome and straight military uniform added a touch of depth to him as a mature man.
Chloe didn't understand why Morgan appeared here late at night. She looked at the ward subconsciously and saw that her mother was sleeping soundly. Two nurses were sitting beside the bed, paying close attention to the sophisticated medical equipment.
"The nurses will take care of your mother. You don’t have to worry about anything," Morgan brought Chloe a glass of water.
"What about the money?" Chloe took over the water and looked at Morgan worriedly.
"You don’t have to pay for this," Morgan was so indifferent.
"How much will it cost?" Chloe insisted. She has no savings and the only thing that is valuable is the house, “I can’t take this for granted. My mother can live in an ordinary ward after tonight. I will take care of her all night long. Although I’ll be tired, but it could save a lot of money.
“I told you that you don’t have to pay. I want to help you. You helped me that day in the hospital, remember?" Morgan sorted out his military uniform and stood up neatly.
"It’s just a favor. We don't know each other. We only met once," Chloe said seriously. In fact, the help Morgan has provided her was too much. They were not even friends.
"That’s true. If you think so, what should I do? Can we start to be familiar with each other now?" Morgan bent down and raised Chloe's face with his fingers.
