HIS CLUMSY NURSE

Episode 30

                       
"No," I said firmly.

"Ryan, is someone there?" she asked curiously.

"No. I was the one—" I started coughing.

"Coughing," I quickly replied.

"I want to see you. Switch to video," she said.

"Oh, okay." I rushed out of my room straight into my study. Finally, we switched to a video call.

"Are you reading at this time?" she asked.

"Well, I have surgery," I said.

"Where is your nurse?" she asked sternly.

"How would I know?" I replied.

"Let's go to your room" she said.

"My room is a mess baby, everything is getting fixed" I quickly explained.

"Oh, okay. You seem tired, so I'll just sleep. Goodnight," she said, then ended the call.

God, Anna won't sleep. It's so obvious I lied.

                         ANNA'S POV

I can't believe I know he lied, yet I didn't know how to react.

What happened? He knows I trust him. He could just tell me whatever it is.

Or... is it possible Ryan is with someone? Who could it be?

I'm out of the coma, Ryan. You have no excuse to cheat on me. Please don't...

Just then, he called me back.

"Mnn," was all I could manage to say.

"I'll show you my room. Actually... there's a woman here," he said.

He walked into his room and turned the camera toward the girl. She was pretty, wrapped in his white duvet from the waist down, her bare back exposed.

I caught my breath. I wondered what had happened, but one thing was for sure: there was no sexual relationship. If he had something to do with her, he wouldn't show her to me like this.

"She's my nurse. They literally gave me a baby," he said tiredly , and I chuckled.

"She got drunk. She kept rolling off her bed. I don't know..." He pointed the camera at her leg, which was bleeding.

I nodded, feeling more at ease.

"So, I thought I should monitor her, then take her back when she's deeply asleep," he added.

I smiled, feeling much better.

"What's her name?" I asked.

"Clara. Clara David," he replied.

Tears streamed down my face. I couldn't believe it. It was my Clara. The Clara I had been searching for everywhere.

"Anna, do you know her?" he asked.

"Yes," I nodded, wiping my tears. "Please show me her face," I said.

He did, and I smiled.

"You're really pretty, Clara. Just like you said you were," I said as tears fell again.

"Baby, what's going on? You're making me jealous," Ryan said, and I smiled.

"You don't understand what Clara means to me, Ryan. I would do anything for her. I love her so much. Take care of her, okay? Don't let her fall. In fact, let her sleep in your room. You sleep on the couch," I said.
