Chapter 44: The lucky one (1/2)

I'm not wearing them.” Wang Shi heard Suyin reply, shocking him. The cut-throat denial and the determination in her voice didn't go unnoticed. But along with it, he sensed pain…. the same pain he felt when she rejected to take over Mingyu's aunt's case.

”This is a hospital. Other than patient and doctor's clothing, you won't get any. And you know how patient's clothes are,” He reminded her. She has seen it already; patient's clothes are open from the back, tied by strings to make the examination and medical procedures convenient to carry on.

”I know! I've washed my clothes…. ACHOOO….…. Let them dry,… ACHOOOO… I'll come out wearing them but won't wear scrubs.” Her voice came shaking, with heavy breaths and chattering of teeth. His brows furrowed deep. Cold!

”This way you'll catch a fever. Let me get you some other clothes if you don't want to wear scrubs,” He didn't wait for her to answer and left. Forcing or trying to convince her was futile. If she could go to the extent of staying in the bathroom for two hours just to avoid wearing scrubs, there must be a strong reason behind it.

In the room, he opened the cupboard and was welcomed by the sight of his and Honey's clothes. Honey's clothes are out of the question, but his!!!???? Don't know if she would accept it or not but he can't let her stay there for the entire day.

After a short while, he returned and hung the cloth at the doorknob. ”I've found something else for you to wear. Hope you won't mind.” He paused for a few seconds and added, ”If you didn't come out within the next two minutes, I'll call nurse Miya and let her enter with a master key…. Be prepared. She has two decades of experience of handling stubborn patients.”

”NOOOOO…. Give me two minutes,”

He smiled, ”I'm in the lounge. Will come back after two minutes,”

He made deliberate sounds while walking towards the lounge but stopped at the threshold of the door and looked back.

With a click sound, the door opened and a slender white hand came out as it patted around to get the cloth and pull it inside.

*******

Inside, Suyin was sitting at the edge of the bathtub, barely in undergarments with a white towel wrapped around her which she hugged for warmth. On the towel-stand was hanging her black 'uniform'. Washed. Waiting to get dried.

SCRUBS!?

It's been years she last wore them. And when she last stripped out of it, she had sworn to never let it touch her body again.

She won't!

Never!

Once done was done! Now she even hates the thought of getting into it again.

It's her past!

”WHATTTTTTTT!?” Her chin dropped to the floor. Her brain formulated nothing as she looked at the cloth arranged by the man. It was his SHIRT! SHIRT! So intimate!

Baby-blue color! Cute! Do men really wear this color? She cannot help but imagine Wang Shi wearing it and looked as dapper as ever. Feeling giddy, she took a deep sniff only to scrunch her nose when it smelled of fabric softener.

Was she expecting it to smell like him!?

Dream on!

When done, she peeked like a sneaky little cat, stepping out by padding her foot as she tugged the hem of the shirt, pulling it down.

It rested at her mid-thighs, showing this much flesh was not good!
