Chapter 272: Chapter 272: Being a Good Dad (2)

"Grandma said that I can’t come home until I find my wife." Bryan Hawkins looked at her and suddenly said this seriously. This was not exactly what his grandma said, but it’s what she meant.

After all, she liked Madelyn Lincoln so much. Now the whole family was treating Bryan’s younger brother so well, all because he had settled down and had a career, but he hadn’t yet, right?

So if he wanted to have a say in the family, he had to find the lost wife.

"...Do you have any shame? You’re an unwed man; why do you need to find a wife?" This time, Carolline Ruiz didn’t blush; she hesitated for a moment and then asked directly.

How could someone be so shameless and say such things to her now?

"You can stay wherever you want; I need to go to work." Carolline picked up the cup on the table and drank a big gulp of water. She was so thirsty after wasting so much energy on him. Since she couldn’t drive him away, she might as well compromise.

"You must have heard this before, taking people’s favors makes you soft, eating people’s food makes you docile. If they eat our stuff, they won’t gossip about us anymore. You can work with peace of mind." Bryan shared his thoughts before Carolline left.

"..." Carolline didn’t know if he was genuinely foolish or just pretending. If her co-workers could be so easily swayed, the gossip in the hospital wouldn’t have spread like wildfire.

When Carolline opened the door, she found that it had been locked, and at that moment, someone was knocking on the outside. She was extremely annoyed, not knowing whether to open it or not. This time, she feared that even jumping into the Yewls River wouldn’t clear her name.

But in the end, the door had to be opened. Carolline steeled herself and opened it.

Deputy Dean George Edwards was standing outside at the moment, "Carolline, what’s going on?"

"Nothing, Dean George, are you looking for me?" Carolline shook her head and opened the door. George saw Bryan Hawkins standing inside and, raising his eyebrows, he didn’t answer Carolline’s question, but instead asked, "Is there any trouble?"

"No, just a former patient’s family member." That’s how Carolline categorized Bryan, and she lied without blushing or panting. Bryan behind her was obviously displeased, but he didn’t say much more.

He just stared at George, who clearly had a hostile attitude toward him, which meant he had good feelings towards Carolline.

"So that’s how it is. I just heard some rumors that you were being harassed here, so I came to check. As long as there’s nothing wrong. Oh, by the way, Children’s Day is coming up, and the hospital has prepared gifts for staff members who have children. Some people have already picked them up. When you have a moment, come to my office and pick up Axel’s gift too," said George, withdrawing his gaze from Bryan and smiling at Carolline.

"Alright, thank you." Carolline nodded.

Only then did George turn around and leave. Carolline also went out, and the people outside who were watching the commotion started chattering again. Carolline didn’t pay them any mind. She knew that she would become the hottest topic in the hospital again because of Bryan Hawkins.

She really didn’t know what Bryan was thinking, nor did she understand what her father was thinking. Why would he allow such a situation to happen?

After finishing her rounds, Carolline went to George’s office. This afternoon, there were no critically ill patients, and the surgical nurses had turned into a discussion party, talking about her and Bryan Hawkins and later adding George Edwards to the mix.

George was alone in the office, looking at documents, and the door was open. Carolline still knocked on the door twice, and George looked up at her. "Carolline, you’re here? Come in quickly. What do you want to drink?"

"No need, Dean George." Carolline shook her head and declined. Everyone knew the food and drinks in George’s office were of the highest quality, and they were meant to entertain higher-level leaders. Carolline didn’t dare to indulge casually.
