The Gossips

The next day, Ava went to work at the hospital. People in the cardiology department were talking about Ava and Green Group's scandal.

"It turns out that Doctor Green is the heir of Green Enterprise. No wonder she is so elegant."

"Yes, she looks very dignified and generous, which is really different from us, after all, high-class people's upbringing is different from the regular people."

"Doctor Green was often distracted for past few days, it turns out that her family was in trouble. I hope everything is OK now, but did you hear that her ex-boyfriend is in prison? It's said that they have been dating for four years! "

"Well, I've heard that there are still people in the Weibo picking on Doctor Green."

"I heard that Doctor Green plays the piano very well and has won many international awards."

"Really, then why did she become a doctor?"

"Maybe she always wanted to be a doctor? It's natural, their family is so rich they could choose whatever career they wanted. "

During the lunch break, Mia was surrounded by a large group of nurses. They all started to throw a series of questions towards her saying she was the closest person to Ava so she must know all about her, but when the news broke out, Mia was not only surprised but also was very hurt. Did Ava ever consider her as a friend, even she didn't know so many things were going on with Ava's life, Mia was a little frustrated.

"What are you people talking about? Not busy today?" All the gossips were interrupted by the sound of Ava's voice, she was just like her usual self, came with a light smile on her bright face.

In fact, Ava actually heard what they were talking about.

"No Nothing, Dr. Green. We were not talking about you." one of the nurses faltered and said with a certain modesty, after all, Ava was an important Doctor, and they didn't want to be in trouble for gossiping about her.

"I didn't say you were talking about me. Why did you say that? Besides, even if you were really talking about me, I don't really mind. You people were very kind to me when I joined the hospital. I had my own reason for hiding my family background." Ava said with a soft smile. She thought since everyone was talking about it, she should take a stand and explain everything clearly.

"We are sorry, Dr. Green. We shouldn't have talked about you behind your back."

"It's OK. Everyone has gone back to duty so don't gather around here to chat anymore, Director Brown won't be happy to see this." Ava smiled and walked to her desk.

"Yes, Dr. Green." The nurses were very understanding and knew Ava said that for their own good.

"Mia, wait a minute, I need to talk to you." Ava saw the disappointed look in her eyes and knew that she had hurt Mia's feelings.

"Sure Dr. Green," Mia answered lightly.

Ava went to the tearoom and brought Mia a cup of her favorite tea.

"Mia, I know you were hurt, because I hid my family background from you too, and I don't want to say anything now to justify myself, but I sincerely regard you as my friend," Ava explained with a sincere look.

"Doctor Green, don't say that, your status is really high, how can we be friends?" Mia said angrily.

"What are you talking about, Mia? I'm serious. In recent years, I had no friends. After a car accident five years ago, I lost my best friend and did not dare to make friends again, because it's so painful to lose..." Ava choked and couldn't finish the sentence, tears were running through her eyes. She recalled the scene of the accident, which was a nightmare that had been haunted her for the past five years.

Seeing Ava crying like that Mia was stunned. Why was Dr. Green suddenly crying? Her past must be very painful.

"I'm sorry, Dr. Green. I didn't mean to remind you of your sad memory." Mia knew that everyone has a past, it's normal that no one wants a reminder of that.

"Mia, we are the same age, you can call me Ava. I really want to be your friend, as long as you want to and I promise I won't hide anything from you from now on. I will also tell you about my past, Ava said earnestly.

But Mia shook her head and said, "No, Ava, I don't want to know about your past, I know how painful it could be to open the old scars."

Ava looked at Mia with gratitude in her eyes. The sun outside the window was still very warm. Through the glass window, one could see two beautiful women holding each other's hands warmly and comforting each other.

"Gossiping during working hours Dr. Green, how irresponsible?" In the quiet office, suddenly Director Brown's stern voice startled them.

Ava knew how much Director Brown hated her, although it was all due to his own jealousy. Ava didn't say anything back to Director Brown, even though it was not working time at the moment.

"Director Brown, I'm sorry, it's my fault, it won't happen again." Ava apologized.

"Ava..." Mia cried out but Ava did not let her say anything.

"It's OK. You go back to work. I am sure Director Brown won't take it further." Ava knew that Director Brown liked to show his supremacy, so she intentionally said that.

Sure enough, Director Brown snorted and sat down quietly to read his file.

Mia blinked at Ava, made a face, and went out.

The office was so quiet and terrible that Ava could even hear her own heartbeat clearly. Only she and Director Brown were in the office room right now, other doctors went for surgery. In order to avoid awkwardness, Ava went to the ward to check on the patients.

Ava was most worried about Oliver's uncle because she didn't know if Oliver still intended to harm him or not. Entering the private room Ava saw, Michael Jones was resting.

"How do you feel today, Mr. Jones?" Ava asked lightly.

"It's better, It doesn't hurt that much," he said with a smile.

Seeing Michael Jones's smiling face, Ava got a little distracted. Michael Jones's smile was so kind, it didn't look like he was a bad person why Oliver wanted to kill him?

"Doctor Green, What are you thinking?" Seeing Ava was distracted, Michael Jones asked with a funny expression.

"Nothing Mr. Jones, have a good rest if you feel uncomfortable, please tell someone to call me right away." Of course, Ava won't tell him what she was thinking. If Michael Jones could aggravate someone like Oliver then he must be a skillful person.

"Doctor Green, you are a very busy person. I wonder if you could leave me your phone number so if I have any problem I could give you a call directly?" he asked.

"Sure, no problem, please give me your phone I'll input my number so you can save it," Ava said.

"Oh Sorry! Look at my memory, I forgot my son took my phone earlier today there was a problem with the key buttons, if you don't mind give me your phone I will just drop a miss call so that I could save it from the call list later." Michael Jones said with an apology.

Ava's mind was simple so without thinking much, she gave her cell phone to Michael Jones so he could drop a call.

"Doctor Green, you have taken good care of me these past few days, I am really grateful to you. If you ever have any trouble in the future, please let me know I would try to help you."

Michael Jones took Ava's cell phone and typed his cell phone number, then went through her recent call list and saw Oliver's cell phone number, his guess was correct. Every act and every move of Oliver Knight was monitored by him. Here he saw an opportunity, Oliver Knight has been walking very close to Ava Green, he was already suspicious about them.

"Thank you Mr. Jones for your kindness." Ava's eyes curved with a smile as she said with an innocent face.
