CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Chapter 178

“Alright, let’s invite Yulia for dinner tonight. My treat.” Stanley put on his white coat that was hanging on the rack.

“Sure.”

Then, Stanley left with the nurse.

Natalie did not stay any longer. She closed his office door and prepared to leave as well.

Just as she left the doctors’ office building and walked past the garden, a gentle female voice called out to her, “Is that you, Ms. Smith?”

Natalie stopped and turned towards the voice.

She was slightly taken aback to see Jacqueline smiling at her from her wheelchair. She was in a wig and dressed in a hospital gown. “Ms. Graham.”

She did not expect to see Jacqueline here at all.

“Indeed, it’s you, Ms. Smith. I thought I was mistaken.” Jacqueline controlled her wheelchair to come before Natalie.

With a smile, Natalie asked her, “What are you doing here, Ms. Graham? Isn’t there anyone with you?”

“Yes, there is. He is just helping me grab my jacket, that’s it.” Jacqueline took a glance at the doctors’ office building and immediately asked, “Are you here to see Dr. Quinn, Ms. Smith?”

“Yes, I am.” Natalie nodded.

“Then, could I ask what is your relationship with Dr. Quinn?” Jacqueline blinked and asked her curiously.

Natalie tousled her hair and replied, “We are friends.”

“Is that so? I thought you were his girlfriend. I think that you look quite compatible.” Jacqueline pouted in disappointment.

Natalie smiled with slight embarrassment. “How is that possible? Don’t say that, Ms. Graham.”

“I am just saying the truth. However... never mind. Ms. Smith, could I trouble you to help me sit there? It’s not too comfortable here in the wheelchair.” Jacqueline pointed at the lounge chair behind Natalie.

Taking a look at the chair, Natalie nodded. She then stepped forward to help Jacqueline get up from her wheelchair.

However, just as Natalie was about to help Jacqueline onto the lounge chair, Jacqueline suddenly fell onto her and her entire body weight landed on Natalie.

Natalie lost her balance and tumbled onto the ground.

Jacqueline fell onto her as well which forced a low painful groan out of her, as if her organs had been rearranged.

The most serious injury was on her arm which hit the ground directly. There was a huge scrape and it was so painful that it caused beads of cold perspiration to dot her pale face.

“Jacqueline!” At this moment, a worried male voice piped up.

Soon, a large figure walked over quickly and picked up Jacqueline from Natalie’s body. He looked at her with concern. “Are you alright?”

“I’m fine.” Jacqueline nodded and looked at Natalie who was still on the floor.

Shane looked towards the same direction and when he saw Natalie’s face clearly, he could not help but be slightly taken aback. “Why are you here?”

Despite the pain, Natalie mustered the strength to get up and smile at him. “Mr. Shane.”

She was a little surprised too.

Turns out he was the one who was helping Jacqueline with her jacket!

“What were you doing just now?” Shane looked at Natalie with pursed lips while sounding a little confrontational.

Natalie’s smile froze and she looked down before replying, “Ms. Graham said that she’d like to sit on the lounge chair. I helped her get there, and then she fell down.” Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

Was he blaming me for Jacqueline’s fall?

“Was that so?” Shane turned to Jacqueline.

“Yes, it was.” Jacqueline nodded. Then, she said to Natalie apologetically, “I’m so sorry, Ms. Smith. I had a sudden moment of weakness and made you fall as well.”

“It’s alright.” Natalie forced a smile back onto her face.

Shane’s tensed face relaxed. “Alright, it’s almost time. I’ll bring you back to the room first.”

“No, I haven’t seen the flowers at the front.” Jacqueline pointed at the flowers with no intention of leaving.

“Next time!” Shane put her back onto the wheelchair and pushed her away.

Natalie’s eyes narrowed at the sight of their vanishing back views.

Am I overthinking this? When I helped Jacqueline get up from the wheelchair, everything was fine. Why did Jacqueline lose her balance and fall onto me just when she was about to be seated on the lounge chair?
