"Of course!"
Nancy agreed without hesitation.
Like her brother, Ewan, she trusted Shirley completely and was never wary of her.
"Shirley, help me check him out. I believe in your judgment."
Before Nancy left, she winked at Shirley. Then she patted Cordell on the shoulder and warned, "Be careful. If my friend doesn't agree, I won't marry you!"
"Don't worry. I will let Ms. Wilson know I'm serious about you."
Cordell smiled and looked at Shirley with confidence, "What do you think, Ms. Wilson?"
"Perhaps."
Shirley curled up the corner of her lips slightly. She didn't show much emotion.
After Ewan and Nancy left the ward, Shirley's smile immediately disappeared. She said to Cordell, "Please close the door."
Cordell closed the door as she asked. Then he walked to Shirley slowly. He kept a smile on his gentle face. "Ms. Wilson, I guess you have investigated me carefully and found out about my past?"
