Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

"You..."

Jean was boiling with rage, but she had no way to release it. She finally accepted that Zed's tactics had hurt her pride.

Before she could say anything to Zed, the night nurse appeared. Jean hadn't realized that it was time for her medicines. Unwilling to make a scene in front of strangers, Jean tempered her anger and frustration. Zed was lucky that the nurse had picked this very moment to arrive. Had it not been for this interruption, Jean would have grabbed the cup on the bedside table and hurled it at Zed.

"Mrs. Qi, it's time for you to take your pills!"

Jean spared one last glare at Zed before pretending as though nothing had happened between them.

The interesting thing was that the nurse was obsessed with the handsome Zed. Every time she made a round of the wards, she would try to find a reason to stay in Jean's room. In doing so, the nurse would have the opportunity to appreciate Zed's beautiful face at the pretext of inquiring after Jean's health. It was also obvious that the nurse was envious of Jean. Just before stepping out the door, the nurse would say something sarcastic to Jean.

"Mrs. Qi, you have a lovely husband! You two look so sweet together." The nurse plastered a fake smile on her face before speaking with Jean. Then she stretched her hand forward. She held a paper cup full of pills prescribed by the doctor.

"Sweet?" Jean was a little surprised by the nurse's compliment. She shook her head as she picked up the little paper cup. Then she raised her head before putting all the pills into her mouth.

The nurse handed a glass of water to Jean and then added with smile," Yes. Everyone at the hospital has seen how your husband dotes on you and they all wish they were you. We envy you so much. Your husband is so good to you. How we wish to be as lucky as you to have a husband like yours!"

Jean didn't react to the nurse's statements. All this feigned flattery and compliments by the nurse left Jean feeling embarrassed. To hide her feelings, Jean managed to squeeze a smile. However, the smile was too stiff to fool anyone.

"The whole time that you have been at the hospital, we have witnessed how your husband has stayed by your side. He has looked after you and brought you meals. This is a very rare scene in our hospital. Plus, he is so young and capable. He is handsome and brilliant as well. There is no reason for us not to admire him. Don't you think so?" The nurse continued without noticing that Jean was uncomfortable with this conversation.

As a result, Jean became even more flustered.

Jean tried to think of a response, but she failed. After all, nothing the nurse had to say was about Jean. This was simply an opportunity to indirectly praise Zed. Jean was clear about the nurse's intentions. The nurse was actually using her compliments to satirize Jean. She ostensibly appreciated Jean's luck, however, her actual meaning was that Jean was not deserving of Zed.

Their match was a mistake by the Lord. It was the kind of affair that could only happen in fairy tales.

As Jean assumed what the nurse was thinking, she sighed to herself.

'You like him so much, don't you? Then you can have him!'

Jean spared Zed a sidelong glance. To her disappointment, Zed was studying her with great interest. It was almost as though he was watching an intriguing drama on the television.

'Is he just going to sit there and let me handle this situation?'

Jean made a humph sound, then said awkwardly," Em... Any other pills for me to take?"

Jean's question reminded the nurse that her work in Jean's room was finished and that there was no need for her to stay. In addition, it seemed she had talked so much that the couple appeared to be displeased. To confirm her suspicions, she then studied Zed's face. He was frowning.

"No, that's all. Rest well! I still have work to do. Good night!" The nurse then left in a sensible manner.

Finally Jean felt as though she could breathe. When she reflected
