Chapter 144

The nurse took the information sheet, glanced at it, and thought that Lucia had picked this girl.She
nodded and said, "Okay, I'll call and ask her to come.Just wait a moment."

Lucia nodded.She looked calm on the surface, but she was a little nervous inside.She clenched his
fists slowly.She and Mandy hadn't seen each other for so many years.

Wouldn't it be too abrupt when she suddenly called her over in this way? Just when she was thinking,
the sound of brisk footsteps came from the door, followed by a crisp female voice, "What can I do for
you?"

Hearing her voice, Lucia turned her head and saw a girl with a delicate face at the door.She moved her
lips nervously, but couldn't make a sound.

Mandy paused and looked up at her.

She froze for two seconds, and a bit of surprise flashed across her eyes, she cried in disbelief, "Lucia?"

Lucia was overjoyed, and she immediately smiled and stood up a little excitedly, "Mandy, it's you!"

The surprise in Mandy's eyes was replaced by excitement.

She took a step forward, and asked with a smile, "Why...why are you here?"

"My father is sick and needs a caregiver.I saw your information sheet and asked the nurse to call you"

"It's so coincidental," Mandy said, reaching out and grabbing Lucia's hand.

Probably because of excitement or surprise, there were tears in her eyes.



Lucia felt an indescribable joy in her heart, "We haven't seen each other for six years, right? I didn't
expect to meet you here."

They held hands happily.

To avoid interfering with other people's work, they walked outside the registration room to reminisce.

They chatted and the memories from a few years ago flooded back to them.

As people got older, they couldn't help but miss the past.

Their relationship was not affected by time.

When it came to the past, everything seemed to have just happened.

Thinking of their separation years ago, Lucia couldn't help but ask, "Mandy, why did you suddenly
move? You didn't even leave your contact information..."

When Lucia talked about her leaving without saying goodbye, Mandy's smile froze a bit.

She looked away, moved her lips, but did not speak.

Seeing her reaction, Lucia realized that it was inconvenient for her to talk.

So she quickly changed the subject and said, "Mandy, when are you getting off work today? I'd like to
invite you to dinner to celebrate our reunion!"

The awkward look on Mandy's face dissipated.

She said with a smile, "I'm on duty tonight.I'm afraid I can go.Why don't we exchange contact
information and get together another day?"



Lucia immediately agreed, "Okay."

After exchanging contact information, Lucia suddenly thought of hiring a caregiver for her father, "Oh,
Mandy, do you have the time recently? My father has been in the hospital recently, and he will have
heart surgery.He needs a caregiver."

Mandy didn't think much about it and immediately agreed, "Okay, I happen to be free recently.So I can
take care of your father."

They were busy chatting.

They didn't even notice the safe passage not far away where a dark shadow flashed and disappeared.

At the same time, in a villa on the outskirts of the city, Bishop was sitting by the window, listening to
Bob's report.

He was sitting in the sunlight.

After hearing the report, he raised his eyes slightly and said, "You mean, she is hiring a caregiver?"

Bob's expression remained unchanged, and he answered straightforwardly, "Yes, her father is still in
the hospital.It is a heart problem and he needs surgery."

Then he handed Bishop a piece of paper, "This is the information about the caregiver she hired.It's her
old friend who works in the hospital."

Bishop took it.

Looking at the photo of the girl on the information sheet, he narrowed his eyes "Mandy Lu."

He recited the name and tightened his grip on the paper a little.



After a few seconds, he looked away, threw the paper away, looked out of the window, and said in a
light voice, "I happen to need a caregiver for my recovery physiotherapy.Call her."

Bob seemed a little surprised, "Mr.Adams, given her qualifications, she doesn't seem professional
enough..."

"It doesn't matter."

Bishop's tone was firm, without any hesitation.He chose her not because of her qualifications, but
because she knew Lucia.He could use her in the future.

Bob didn't ask any more questions.He nodded in agreement and went to do it right away.

In the corridor of the hospital, Lucia and Mandy were still talking.

Talking about Bill's recent condition, Lucia was very worried, "Mandy, I know that there is a certain risk
of a heart bypass.But given my father's current condition, he has no choice.To be honest, I'm very
worried."

Mandy had been working in the hospital for several years and was used to sickness and death.

But seeing her friend so sad in front of her, she couldn't help feeling sorry.She patted Lucia's shoulder
with empathy, and said in a certain tone, "Lucia, don't worry.Your father will certainly be fine.I'll take
care of him during this time, so you don't have to worry"

When Lucia heard this, she felt much relieved and nodded.

At this moment, a nurse suddenly walked out of the registration room and said to Mandy, "Mandy, come
here.It's a call for you."



Hearing this, Mandy nodded immediately.She smiled at Lucia, and immediately went over to answer
the phone.

Lucia walked to the door and waited for her.

Mandy answered the phone.She was a little surprised.

After freezing for a moment, she nodded, "Okay, Director, I know.I will prepare as soon as possible."

After she hung up the phone, she turned her head and looked at the door.

When she saw Lucia, a look of shame suddenly appeared on her face, "Lucia, I'm sorry I can't agree to
your request.Just now the director called me suddenly and said I have already been assigned to the
VIP ward as a private caregiver.About your father..."

Before Mandy could finish her sentence, Lucia realized what was going on.

She smiled, and said softly, "It's okay."

She could understand this situation very well.

Besides, she hadn't filled out the form yet, so it was natural for Mandy to accept the director's
arrangement.

At this point, Mandy had no choice.

To make up for it, she helped Lucia choose another caregiver, an experienced middle-aged woman.

After everything was done, Mandy had other work to do, so Lucia said goodbye to her and planned to
go see her father's doctor.

Before surgery, she needed to learn more about it.



When Lucia got to the doctor's office, she explained the purpose of the visit.

Dr.Andy immediately asked her to sit down, found her father's echocardiography, and explained it to
her.

A lot of technical terms almost gave Lucia a headache.

She took a deep breath and asked directly, "Dr.Andy, please just tell me simply when my father needs
surgery and who his chief surgeon will be."

Dr.Andy nodded and explained slowly, "Of course, the earlier the surgery, the better.But it also depends
on the schedule of the chief surgeon.Some of you contacted Dr.Long from Straten Hospital, and the
exact time and operation plan depends on his arrangement."

Dr.Long from Straten Hospital? If she remembered correctly, it was probably arranged by August for
her father.
