Chapter 143 - Nixie Tan (1/2)
”Yes, they do!”
Yanee and Jena turned towards the door to see a smiling Nixie standing there.
”You're here!” Jena called out in delight as she shifted on the bed.
Nixie hurried towards her as she scolded the patient. ”Don't move! You don't want to strain your leg too much, no?”
Yanee had also left her seat to try and restrain Jena from standing up on her own. Jena smiled sheepishly and let Nixie and Yanee tuck her back to bed.
”You two worry too much. I'm not that fragile, you know,” she teased and Nixie rolled her eyes.
”Say that to your husband. Can you imagine what Alvin would do when he learns you have to stay here at the hospital longer because you strained yourself too much?” Nixie prompted and Jena smiled sheepishly imagining just that.
In spite of his easy-going and dignified demeanor, Alvin was King, not just of the dance floor but of worrywarts. Based on the women's looks, Yanee already had an idea of what was going on and she chuckled.
”Alvin's that bad, huh?” she asked teasingly and the women grinned mischievously at her as if they knew something that she didn't. ”What's wrong?”
”Tohru's worse than Alvin, you know,” they said and Yanee looked shocked.
”Really?”
She couldn't believe it. Tohru didn't look like it. But both Nixie and Jena nodded so it must be true.
”You better not get sick or you're in for a ride,” Jena warned her with a giggle and Yanee smiled sheepishly.
So, he's a panic potato…
Yanee didn't want to see that.
”Anyway, do you have questions you want to ask me?” Jena asked her and Yanee inclined her head.
”Normally, we discuss life lessons from the story,” she answered and Jena smiled.
”Right. Little Tohru did tell us that,” Nixie agreed as she walked across the room to sit on the sofa. ”Go ahead and continue your chat hehe,” she said as she took a magazine from the side and started browsing.
”Ah but the little brother said he will do that with her later,” Jena suddenly interjected surprising both Nixie and Yanee.
”He did?”Yanee was confused. Since her second interview, she had been discussing the life lessons with them. She was wondering what changed now when Jena put on another mischievous smile.
”Yes, because the original Panic Prince is worried Yanee will overwork so he made some changes this time,” Jena answered and Nixie giggled.
”Ah! He's a sweet potato then,” she said surprising Yanee.
”Potato?”
”What? Isn't that the nickname you gave him?” Nixie teased and laughed making Yanee groan.
She should have known the girls would gossip about that. But, she didn't really care anymore.
”Alright, we'll stop teasing Yanee now,” Jena told Nixie as she waved her hand. Go and take Yanee to the cafeteria or the garden. There's a spot that's quiet there for your interview.”
”What about you?”Yanee asked Jena who shrugged.
”The doctor and the nurses will come soon to give me a check— and lunch.”
Jena said the last part whilst wiggling her brows. Aside from her broken leg, the hospital found that her sodium level was high so she's on a very strict diet. For someone who loved eating, this was a very pitiful thing done to her, and this was also why Jena preferred to have lunch alone. If they ate with her, she'd cry over jealousy when she saw what they ate.
Understanding her plight, Nixie laughed and stood up. ”Fine, we'll take our leave. We'll be back after,” she said and she and Yanee left the room.
Yanee placed the recorder in her bag as she and Nixie trudged the length of the hallway. ”Wow, this was probably the fastest interview I did. I just basically listened to Jena and didn't get to discuss anything.”
Nixie laughed. ”Scold your boyfriend later for worrying too much,” she said and Yanee too laughed
”I will do that, later,”Yanee promised and the two of them chuckled as they went to the hospital restaurant.
