CLEO & CASSANO (Love In Hospital)

CHAPTER 76

"What are you doing here?" ask Andreas.

"I'm sorry, Doc, I was going to pick up the tissue in this room." Desmi looks wrong. "I'll excuse you then." Desmi hurriedly closed the door. Cleo stared intently at Andreas who could only fall silent.

"Mom!!! Miss Desmi, wait!" Cleo tried to chase after him. "Mom, wait!" he said while holding Desmi's hand.

"What's up, Doc?" ask Desmi.

"Can we talk, Mom? Just one second!" her door.

"All right!" Desmi agrees. He followed Cleo who was walking towards the elevator. And here they are now. Cleo took him to the rooftop. There are seats with tents and also beanbags. Rooftop was really conjured Vincent as a resting place for his employees. There was no one else there, except them.

"What's up, Doc?" ask Desmi again.

"Did you hear everything?" Cleo turned around and looked at him. Desmi nodded slowly.

"I'm really sorry. I shouldn't have heard it." Desmi said.

"It wasn't mom's fault. He who can't control his emotions." Cleo turned to stare at the small-looking street from above.

"So you guys are actually married?" ask him to make sure what he hears.

"Yes" Cleo replied softly.

"But why doesn't anyone know?" Desmi curious. Because no employee knows.

"The marriage was deliberately kept secret. He doesn't want to cause chaos here." Desmi looked at him, as if she knew what Cleo was feeling.

"Then, what about you?" tanyakanya.

"I'm fine, Mom." Desmi knew Cleo was lying.

"Where is a woman who is fine, when she is not considered a wife." Desmi says this, remembering all Andreas's treatment of her. Cleo turned back to him. Desmi approached and held her hand. "I know you must have been hurt" he said slowly. And somehow hearing Desmi's words, Cleo's tears just flowed. For the first time, someone understood him.

"Thank you, Mom!" he said with a thin smile.

"Where have you been?" raka asked as he saw Cleo walking with Desmi.

"Why?" ask Cleo.

"Cariin Director." he said. Cleo turned to Desmi, the young-looking woman nodded.

"I'll go first." Cleo rushed to Vincent's room.

"Corn, Doc." said Nayla when she saw Andreas sitting behind his desk. Nayla gave off her best smile. But, Andreas' attitude disappointed him. The man even just gave him a quick glance, then he focused on the computer nearby.

"All right, Miss Nayla! I see here, just a few days ago you did a check" he said.

"Yes, Doc." she replied.

"Let's see, what's the result is out." Andreas scrolled his cursor to look for Nayla's lab results. "Here we go!" he said, Andreas read carefully all the letters listed there. "What do you feel right now?" tanyakanya.

"I don't feel anything. How's it going, Doc?" tanyakanya.

"Are you often tired?" ask Andreas before answering Nayla's question. The woman nodded.

"It's written that you have early-stage uterine cancer." Andreas' assistant handed over the paper he held to Nayla. Nayla's face was pale for a moment, she did not expect to experience any of this at all.

"A-you're not kidding me, Doc?" ask Nayla.

"You can see the results there." Andreas pointed at the paper Nayla was holding. Nayla read carefully, her eyes looking teary.

"Am I going to die?" tanyakanya.

"You don't be pessimistic. You can start taking medication" he said. Andreas hands over the recipe and therapy that Nayla must follow to her assistant.

"How long can I live?" Andreas and the assistant looked at him.

"This is only the early stages, you still have a lot of chances to recover" said Andreas.

"Really, Doc?" Nayla looked at him expectantly. Andreas nodded. After that he asked his assistant to help Nayla.

"What's up, Pa?" cleo asked as soon as he reached Vincent's room.

"Sit down!" said it. Cleo sat next to her father-in-law.

"We're good, Pa." lied it.

"Papa would like to apologize for what Mom said last night. You don't have to be burdened by your mother's request. Papa knows you and you still need time." Cleo looked at Vincent lovingly.

"I can understand, Pa." she replied.

"Well, you know mama said so for sure because of her condition. I hope you don't misunderstand." he continued. Cleo could only nod.

She understood very well Jasmine asked that because she thought her age was not long. But, how could he realize Jasmine's wish, if his relationship with Andreas was no good. They even hate each other.

"Then I go back to the room, Pa." Cleo said as she felt there was nothing left Vincent could say.

"All right!" said it. Cleo walked out of the room.

"I hope their relationship will be better. You must have dreamed that too, right? I also have the desire that Jasmine wants." Vincent spoke to a picture of Adam on his desk.

🍀🍀🍀

Cleo exited the elevator, she walked slowly towards her room. Sometimes he smiles and nods when he crosses paths with other employees.

"Naila!" he said when he saw Nayla standing not far from him. Cleo hesitated to walk there, she was lazy to face Nayla later. But he had no choice. The only path to his room had to pass through Nayla.

"Jiang, Doc!" greet the nurse when she sees Cleo.

"Jiang!" hearing a very familiar voice in her ear, Nayla immediately turned around.

"You?? What are you doing here?" having just seen Cleo, Nayla immediately showed her upset face.

"Have you forgotten that I work here?" Cleo paid no heed to Nayla's dislike of him.

"Just been a doctor, but you've been arrogant." he said.

"Sorry, what's your business? You're not even my patient, so why should I be nice to you." she replied.

"Basedar cocky! You've always been like this. You think people will like you, if you know your true nature?" Cleo scrunched her forehead.

"What do you want? If you're here just to find trouble with me, you better go. This hospital doesn't need people like you." Cleo starts to get hooked, as Nayla continues to ride her around in public.

"Doctor Cleo!!" they heard Andreas screaming, they turned their heads and saw Andreas standing not far from them. Andreas walked over, and stared intently at Cleo. "Is this how you behave to patients?" snapped it. Cleo looked at Nayla, then back at Andreas.

"I ...."

"It's okay, Doc! I've been treated this way so many times by him." Cleo's eyes grew bigger on Cleo's words.

"I'm sorry!" andreas' orders to him.

"You mean?" ask Cleo.

"You've been disrespectful to this hospital patient, so I want you to apologize to this lady" she said, smiling faintly, Cleo stared intently at him.

"It wasn't me who started it, so why would I apologize to her" he replied firmly.

"You ....!!"

"It's okay, Doc. I can understand! Maybe Cleo's doctor is like this for having a personal vendetta against me." Nayla.

"Stop your charade!" Cleo did not care that they were currently a public spectacle.

"Cle, why are you still like this? Aren't we best friends? Even you hurt me, why don't you ever notice?" Nayla pretends to be sad.

"Whatever you want to say!" Cleo who was sick of seeing Nayla's attitude walked away from them.

"Doctor Cleo!!" andreas shouted, Cleo didn't even care about it.

"I'm sorry for our doctor's treatment! I'll make sure this doesn't happen again." Andreas bowed to Nayla.

"It's okay, Doc!" answer slowly.

"Then, excuse me!" after Nayla nodded, Andreas rushed after Cleo.

"Doctor Cleo!" call him, but Cleo doesn't press.

"Lo campus! I hope you stop from here. Because every time I do, my life will fall apart. You're just a bearer of trouble in my life." Nayla smiled triumphantly. He was confident Andreas would teach Cleo a lesson. After being satisfied, Nayla walked towards the exit, leaving Cleo and Andreas who were seen arguing.
