Chapter 602 - Its Time (1/2)

The next day, J went to the hospital with her 'visible' and 'invisible' security watching over her. As usual, Jacob never left her side until she reached the Department of Surgery.

”What's this?” Dr. Aaron looked at her with a puzzled expression.

”I am requesting an indefinite leave. I hope that you would approve of it.” Although J tried to say the words with regards. It doesn't seem to in Aaron's ear. Even if she doesn't ask for it, he doesn't have a choice.

It is the wife of the CEO. Of course, she is free to do whatever she wants. Thou recently she has been on a random leave, Aaron knows that it was Jacob's intention and not her. He knew that J is not the type of person that would take advantage of her position.

But her sudden request to take an indefinite leave surprised him.

”Are you pregnant?” Dr. Aaron Choi suddenly blurted out his suspicion. He cannot think of other reasons for her to request indefinite leave. Everyone in the hospital is oblivious of the threats that their colleague is having in her life.

J blushed instantly and felt embarrassed. ”Uh...No.”

”Oh...okay. Does Jacob know about this?” He asked because recently it was Jacob who is suddenly pulling her out of her duty for a day or two without asking for a formal request. And now, J is formally requesting for leave. Aaron can't help but be suspicious.

”Of course, we've talked about it. He actually thought that it is not necessary for this but I just thought that I won't be coming back for a while and not sure when so I guess I have to formally file a request.”

”Oh...Okay.” Dr. Aaron's mind is still not functioning well. He already lost Nurse Diana and not sure when she is coming back. Now Nurse J also wants an indefinite leave and not sure when she is coming back.

He felt that he is slowly losing his nurses in the Department of Surgery.

”You'll allow me. Right?” J asked imploring.

Dr. Aaron Choi was startled. ”Yeah. Of course. How can I not?” He said but deep inside he is crying. As if I have a choice? If I didn't approve of it I might lose my job because of your husband! How am I suppose to get a temporary replacement for you? He cried internally.

”Good. Thank you.” She said then smiled at him.

Oh God! Am I not supposed to be the person in control of my nurses and not the other way around? Dr. Aaron screamed internally.
