When those two men from her family left, Nixxxie looked at Jiang Yang and understood, he had noticed something that he should not and felt awkward.
Jiang Yang didn’t say a word and left with his assistants. He had surgeries that day so he was busy, the whole day to come and take a follow up on her mother
In the evening, instead of Jiang Yang, another doctor came to take a follow up of Nixxxie’s mother. She was surprised to see a new doctor and asked, "Is Doctor Jiang Yang not handling the case of my mother?"
"Ms. Xi, doctor Jiang Yang is busy with surgeries today so he won’t be free till late night that’s why I am here to take a follow up in his stead," The new doctor replied and stepped forward to check the patient.
"Okay!" saying it she sat calmly on the couch, letting them do their work. Looking at the doctor’s white apron, she thought about Jiang Yang and her heart started to race a bit faster. She picked up a water bottle from the table in front of a couch and emptied out half of it in her stomach to make herself calm as not understanding what was happening to her.
It was late at night when Jiang Yang was free from emergency surgeries. When he came back to his cabin, he went through the reports of the patients he couldn’t take follow up in the evening, though he was dead tired. He saw the reports of Mrs. Xi and thought to visit her before he leaves the hospital.
More than the patient, he wanted to see Nixxxie and why he felt like it, he himself didn’t know. As Mrs. Xi was a VIP patient, no one would have noticed why he was going to check the patient at this hour as everyone cared more about the VIPs.
When Jiang Yang went to the VIP patient’s room, the nurse was just coming out after changing the IV drip of the patient and she saw Jiang Yang. Seeing him, she bowed to him and opened the door for him to enter inside.
"You can do your stuff. I will handle it myself." The nurse was on her round to check on the patients so she obeyed and left.
Entering the room Jiang Yang saw, Lights were off but in the dim light from the night lamp, he could see that Nixxxie was sleeping soundly on the couch. He smiled to see her and went to her mother to check her without turning on lights as it was not that dark. Finishing his work, he was about to leave the room, but noticed, the quilt that Nixxxie was covering herself with was on half on the floor leaving her uncovered and she looked like she was feeling cold.
Stepping in her direction, he lifted the quilt and covered her properly with it. He noticed how innocent and calm she was looking while sleeping and remembered how tensed she looked when two men from her family were there to visit her mother. She looked scared and lost at that moment. He felt sad for her, deep down in his heart as he could feel what she was feeling.
Now she looked away from all the worries in the world. Jiang Yang felt something in his heart to see her and patted her head with care as he wanted her not be worried about anything and he was there for her.
Jiang Yang left the room without making a sound. Once the door was closed, Nixxxie opened her eyes. The moment she heard Jiang Yang’s voice when he was talking to the nurse, she was awake but she pretended to be asleep.
Why she did it, she couldn’t understand but she was affected by what he said to her in his cabin that ’he liked her’. No one ever dared said something like to her because she was a bird locked in a cage created by her family.
Nixxxie could sense, he was coming in her direction after checking her mother but still didn’t open her eyes. The way he covered her with a quilt and patted her head she felt nice. She didn’t feel as to why he was doing it instead she wished him to continue it. It was not a thing to be done by a doctor so it was obvious that he was being more than just a doctor of her mother.
Once Jiang Yang left, Nixxxie touched her own forehead where he touched her while patting as she could still feel the warmth of his hand there. Closing her eyes she felt that warmth until it disappeared completely with her heart beating faster.
Not being able to sleep, she continued thinking about him but the next moment she shook her head and said to herself, "Idiot, you are not allowed to think about anyone. Don’t forget it."br>Frowning on herself, she closed her eyes but even after trying so hard, she couldn’t stop thinking about him neither she could sleep.
Days passed like this when Jiang Yang continued to visit her mother and Nixxxie used to watch him silently. Most of the time when Jiang Yang visited her mother in the night, though, for him, it was just an excuse to see Nixxxie, he didn’t miss the chance to pat her head and keep looking at her calm face for few moments and leave the room. It was like his fixed protocol to do.
All this time Nixxxie was aware of his actions but not even once she tried to stop him. For her, the protocol of Jiang Yang’s visit was the same and she didn’t want to break it. The day whenever Jiang Yang couldn’t come to check on her mother during day time, it was obvious for her to understand that he will come at midnight in the room and he will do what he always did.
It was a silent start of their love.....
