When Love Turns Cold

Chapter 4: The Cousins Encounter

A week later, in the tea room of Oakleaf Hospital, Quincy frowned as she listened to the noisy crowd bragging about Beyonce.

"She's the daughter of Beyonce Family! That's a famous medical family. I also heard that she's very pretty! Wouldn't she be overqualified to work in the hospital?" a nurse said with great enthusiasm.

"Not only that, I heard that she's also a top student of Frankly University and Professor Christian! I'm afraid we can't handle such a big shot!" Another young nurse added.

Upon hearing them, Quincy couldn't help but roll her eyes. "You guys are bluffing.

Professor Christian doesn't even teach; where did he get so many students?"

"Yeah, I've heard that Professor Christian only had a few students, and he rarely recruited students! I think the last student he recruited was the one from five years ago called... Su... san..?" A doctor tried to recall the name, but he couldn't remember.

"Hey, it's called Susan..." Another doctor wanted to add, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by a nurse's exclamation.

"Susan's bento is here!"

Upon hearing that, people in the tea room suddenly ran out. In the blink of an eye, only Quincy and the remaining male doctor were staring at each other in the room.

The male doctor kindly reminded her, "Aren't you going to buy it too?"

Quincy looked bewildered. "Buy what?"

As she was confused, a group of people in white coats ran through the door of the tea room.

then stood up with a frown. With confusion, she walked in the direction of the crowd.

"Hey, I want a late-night bento! I'm on the night shift tonight, so I'm relying on this bento to get me through the night!" In the crowd, a nurse stretched out her hand and shouted desperately.

"Okay, 50 dollars in total. You'll definitely get a big boost of energy after eating late-night bento!" In the middle of the crowd, Susan passed the bento to the nurse with difficulty. After taking over the money, she handed it to Zion, who was standing beside her. Then, he deftly stuffed the money into the bag.

"I….I want a beauty bento!"

"I want two diet bento!"

"I want a sleep aid dessert!"

The names of the bento that came from all directions made Susa and Zion so busy. They didn't even have time to collect the money.

Quincy stood by the side and watched the bustle. Suddenly, a nurse pulled her into the crowd and kept telling her how awesome and genius the person who made this bento was.

She even added that it was a bento that everyone in the hospital loved and even complimented how cute Zion was.

Oh, come on! She didn't care about any of these!.

However, the nurse did not care whether Quincy cared or not, but insisted on leading her into the middle of the crowd. When Quincy saw the "bento goddess" who had been praised to the skies by the nurse, her mouth curled up in a contemptuous smile. "Susan?"

Susan was stunned when she saw Quincy. "Why are you here?"

"I think I'm the one who should be asking you that question, my cousin. Didn't you say that you've found a good husband with a lot of money and you would enjoy all the glory and wealth for the rest of your life? Why did you end up here selling bento with your son?"

Quincy looked down at Susan and sneered, "When you refused to accept Professor Christian as your supervisor last time, I thought you would live a good life in the future. However, you end up like this… "Susan, you think if your mother in the mental hospital knew you were living like this, would she become unwilling to accept treatment and just want to kill herself?.

When Susan heard that, her eyes suddenly became sharp. There was a trace of strong hostility in her eyes. The way she looked at Quincy became like a cold knife that could drive straight to her heart."Ah, you are Susan!" A guy shouted from among the crowd, which made Susan avert her fearful gaze.

Another person among the crowds then exclaimed, "Oh my goodness! Professor Christian's apprentice? Isn't she the top student at Frankly University? No wonder the bento she made is so effective!"

"Yes! Oh my, not only is she beautiful, but she is also so capable! She truly is amazing! You deserve to be the goddess of bento!"

Compliments from the crowds instantly started to rise one after another. Susan smiled and scratched the back of her head in embarrassment.

But at this moment, Quincy's face was filled with rage.

Ever since their childhood, Susan had always been more well-liked than her.

Her grades were good, she was beautiful, and even the man she married was well off!.

"Why?" Quincy thought to herself. She was obviously not worse than Susan, so why did everyone solely pay attention to her?!At this thought, Quincy stepped forward angrily and roared

"Susan, are you that shameless? A high-level student? Professor Christian's apprentice? Do you believe that your good looks give you the right to con people? Did you get a hygiene permit for these bentos?"

When Susan heard that, her body and smile froze at once.

Seeing that she had gained the upper hand, Quincy sneered. "You don't have a medical licence and have yet to receive systematic healthcare training.

You shouldn't even enter the hospital. Who would dare to eat your bentos? What if someone died as a result of eating it? Susan, you're a vicious person for using such a method to harm people and make money!"

After Susan heard Quincy's words, her face turned pale.

When those who bought her bentos heard that, they became scared as well. "No way, is this bento really without a hygiene permit?"

A nurse said, "I've had this bento a few times, but I'm fine..."

"How would you know if the poison is fast or slow-acting? Who dares to eat something made by her without a licence?" Another nurse interrupted her.

The nurse threw the bento in her hand into the trash as she spoke.

Zion, who was standing at the side, said anxiously, "My mommy has a licence, but it is with my grandma. Grandma won't give it to us."

He saw with his own eyes that his mommy went to the mental hospital to beg for her medical licence from Grandma, but Grandma clung to his mommy's medical licence tightly. She wouldn't let go and threatened to take her own life if his mommy took the medical licence.

She didn't dare provoke Grandma any further, so she gave up her medical licence!

With the intention of helping Susan, Zion sincerely explained their situation, but instead, he reminded everyone of what Quincy had just said, as well as the fact that Susan had a mother who was locked up in the mental hospital.

After knowing this matter, the crowd instantly became even wilder.

"Her mother is crazy. How normal could her daughter be?! This bento isn't edible!" Another person threw the bento away.

"I don't want to eat it, either. Who knows if it contains any drugs?"

"Throw it, throw it. This bento can't be eaten!"

The bentos that had just been sold were dumped into the trash can one by one

Zion was on the verge of crying. "Don't listen to this woman's nonsense!"

He held back his tears and glared angrily at Quincy. "The bentos made by my mommy are very clean.

She made them according to the recipe! Every one of them is ten times cleaner than your face, which has ten layers of makeup!"

"What did you say?!" Quincy was so angry that her face was deformed. She grabbed hold of Zion's arm and yanked him over.

"Zion!" As soon as Susan called out, Quincy screamed.
