Meeting You Was Fate novel Chapter 725

While laughing, Audrey sarcastically said, "That's true. After all, not everyone can rise from the ashes and become a phoenix." However, the expression on her face did not match her words.

"Yes, a phoenix can rise from the ashes simply because it's a phoenix. Yet, some pheasants, no matter how hard they try, will remain as ashes until they die." Raising her eyebrow, a mocking smile appeared on Mandy's face. She also knew how to play the game of words.

Audrey was so upset at that. She had meant to ridicule Mandy and make fun of her. But unexpectedly, Mandy reversed the situation. At that moment, it was Mandy who was laughing and not her.

Understandably so, since she was digging her own grave by coming for Mandy. She was like a pheasant who was trying to play with the queens.

"Well, I have a surgery to perform right now, Mrs. Jin. We can talk about this later. That is, if I have the time," Audrey said in a frivolous tone. She even squinted her beautiful eyes and placed both of her hands in the pockets of her lab coat.

It was no secret that Mandy was pretty much disgusted by Audrey. Mandy had always felt like she couldn't find anything in common to talk about with a person like Audrey. So, why would she bother making small talk with the woman? And even if they were to talk, they would always end up throwing insults at each other. So, Mandy thought that there wasn't any point in trying to have a conversation with Audrey.

But Mandy was in such a good mood since she just won that encounter.

After bidding farewell to Audrey, Mandy walked to the nurses' station with a smug smile. Then, she saw Cassie, who had her head lowered while writing in a notebook. It looked like she was so focused on her task that it reminded Mandy of herself many years ago. With a faint smile, Mandy cleared her throat and coughed twice, "Ahem, Ahem."

Cassie's right hand, which was holding a pen, froze for a moment. She frowned a little. It seemed like she just heard Mandy's voice. Was it her mind playing tricks on her?

After a while, she slowly raised her head and looked at Mandy's clear eyes. She immediately wore a smile on her face.

"Mand, why are you here?" In a hurry, Cassie put down her pen and turned around. Then she ran out of the nurses' station and stood in front of Mandy.

"I came to see you. We haven't seen each other for quite a long time. Are you busy now?" Mandy tilted her head sideways and looked at Cassie with pursed lips. Her face was so beautiful that other people couldn't take their eyes off her.

Cassie smiled as she said, "I'm not busy now. But did you really take the time to come here just for me?"

"Fine, you got me. I'm not here for you. I'm here for my future godson." Mandy lowered her head with a tender expression on her face. Her almond-shaped eyes were staring intently at Cassie's belly, which was still flat.

"Baby, did you hear that? Your future godmother just came to see you," Cassie softly said with a gentle smile on her face while looking at her belly. It was like she was talking to the baby inside.

"Have you talked to Jamie?" Mandy asked, returning the smile. Taking Cassie's hand, she led her to sit down.

"Yes, he was so happy when he heard. Right now, he has a surgery to perform." Cassie shrugged her shoulders. Even her voice was sweet and warm.

"That's great. If you have a daughter, she'll have to marry Adrian. If you have a son, he will be Adrian's brother in the future."

Upon hearing what Mandy had said, Cassie felt extremely happy. She smiled before playfully saying, "Baby, did you hear that? Your future godmother just said that if you were a girl, she would let Adrian marry you."

"Cas... I actually have something to ask you. Is Audrey getting along with everyone in the hospital?" Mandy asked out of curiosity.

"Well, now that you've mentioned it. I find it really funny. I think Audrey is pissed off at us. The first day that she came to work, there was a meeting in the office. The doctors in our department were discussing her. She actually happened to hear some harsh words directed at her. She looked so upset when she came in. But I'll tell you this: She's tough for being able to take all of that." Although Cassie told her story without any compassion for Audrey, in reality, she admired the woman's composure.

If she were in her shoes, Cassie would have lost her cool at that instant.

"Really? But why were you talking about her?" Mandy raised her eyebrows as she was becoming more and more curious.

"I'm not sure 'cause I didn't even say anything. But the big shots in our department all disliked her."

"How much do they hate her?" Mandy grew even more curious. When she heard that Audrey was not welcome in JR Hospital, she was instantly filled with joy. Grinning from ear to ear, she looked at Cassie, expecting to hear more.

"As you know, as soon as Audrey came into the hospital, she immediately took the most important position from our Jamie. Though he didn't say anything, I know that in his heart, he was not happy about it. How could that woman take away the fruit of years and years of labor from our Jamie? For the longest time, all the doctors in the Cardiology Department have been on good terms. It's been years, so we've really become a family. When Audrey had arrived, it felt like she was an intruder. Well, in conclusion, no one likes her." Cassie curled her lips after comprehensively explaining.

"Do you want me to ask Dean Tyler to get rid of Audrey so Jamie can resume his position as director?" Mandy had instantly came up with a plan. Audrey was her rival when it came to love. It's only natural for her to deal with her rival. After all, everything was fair in love and war.

At that moment, Mandy had an urge to go all out against Audrey. But she still hesitated for a while because she knew that Audrey was Adrian's attending doctor.

It was for this reason that Mandy asked Cassie what she wanted. As long as Cassie wanted Audrey to leave, Mandy would immediately ask Audrey to step down from her position.

Mandy had checked Adrian's medical history and found that it was not very complicated. But it was uncommon for a domestic doctor to perform the required operation.

Adrian had congenital heart disease, which was a rare one in the country. The doctors didn't have any experience in dealing with such a difficult case, but Mandy thought she could perform this operation as well. Although she was no longer a doctor, she had read a lot of medical books and had acquired a lot of knowledge about it. She made sure that she could gather every single bit of information that she could.

"That's... I don't think it's appropriate. Let's just forget about it, Mand. You don't have to be so upset about it. Besides, we'd be in trouble if someone heard us. I know you're doing this for me and Jamie. I feel really grateful. But I think it would be better if we just wait and see. Her true colors will come out eventually." Cassie lowered her eyes and timidly smiled.

"Cas... You have truly matured over the past few years." Mandy rolled her almond-shaped eyes and gently looked at Cassie. Although Cassie's appearance hadn't changed that much, her personality had certainly developed. The girl who was once humble and insecure finally became confident.

"Thank you," Cassie responded in a calm tone. Suddenly, she reached out and held Mandy's hand. She smiled and tilted her head before she continued, "Mand, I really miss having you working in the hospital. Sometimes, colleagues in the department gather together, and they often talk about you."

"Really? It's such an honor."

"You don't have to be so modest. You have to come back soon when you have the time." With an expression of longing on her face, Cassie stared at Mandy. Her eyes were gleaming with hope.
