"Well it depends on the dosage she was given. That's what makes it hard to figure out if she actually had the drug injected in her." Natalia explained over the phone.
"Nicole, what do you recall happened over the past few days?" Ian asked Nicole as he held her hand.
"I remember the past few days clearly. You stayed at home with me over going with Cedric to Spain, which was the sweetest thing ever. You accompanied me to work because Cedric gave you the day off, then I felt a pain and gave birth." Nicole said as simply as she could.
"Do you remember what you named our child?" Ian asked.
"Yes. I named our son Tristan, our little Tristan Lim." Nicole said as she smiled sweetly at Ian.
"I don't think she forgot anything Miguel." Eric said as he looked at his brother.
"It seems not. Which is good." Miguel said with a sigh.
"So Jen is off the hook?" Alexi asked as he looked angrily at Miguel.
"Yes, but I still think her actions were suspicious." Miguel told his friend. "I'm sorry Alexi."
"Brother, we've known Nurse Jen for years, why would you doubt her?" Nicole asked Miguel. "You personally had her background investigated, there was nothing wrong there."
"You're right. I was probably just imagining things." Miguel said, shaking his head.
"Alexi, it would be best if you didn't mention this to Jen." Nicole said as she looked at Alexi with a solemn expression.
"Of course I won't, our relationship is strained as it is." Alexi said, shaking his head. "I should get going. I'm happy to see that you are doing well Nicole." Alexi said as he hugged Nicole.
Ian glared at him when they separated, Alexi and all the other boys saw Nicole as a little sister, so it was only normal for them to act this way. Unfortunately, Ian was still not used to the act and got jealous.
Alexi noticed his reaction and laughed.
"Don't worry, to me Nicole is like Katerina or Natalia, an annoyance in my life that I will never get rid off but I love." Alexi said with a laugh as he walked out of the hospital room.
As he stepped out he couldn't help but watch as Jen moved gracefully as she chatted with the other nurses. He remembered the first time he met Jen at the very same hospital.
Four years ago
"Damnit Alexi! Why do you have to sleep with all of my nurses!" Miguel shouted as he watched Alexi drop off another nurse at the entrance of the building.
"Just sleep with one of them! They are amazing." Alexi said with a laugh as he got off his car.
"Ha, you know I love someone. Don't try to drag me in your playboy ways." Miguel said as he turned to enter the hospital building.
"So anyone new?" Alexi asked as he followed Miguel in.
"No." Miguel quickly replied.
"So that's a yes." Alexi said with a laugh as he continued to walk with his friend.
"Do you plan on sleeping with this whole hospital?" Miguel complained.
"Woah, what did Alexi do this time?" Nicole asked as she approached from behind. She had just come from checking up on a patient.
"He's looking for fresh meat." Miguel said, rolling his eyes.
"Then introduce him to Jen." Nicole said with a shrug.
"Jen? Doctor Jen, the accountant Jen? I've slept with them already." Alexi said with a laugh. "Jen is such a common name."
"No, Nurse Jen. The newest member of Miguel's team. She was assigned to the Kashmere Hospital, but she's visiting for a month. For training." Nicole said with an evil grin.
"You're not telling me something." Alexi eyed Nicole suspiciously.
"She's a woman you can't get." Miguel said as they arrived at his office.
"Really? A woman that would reject me?" Alexi asked, laughing at Miguel's statement.
"I would reject you." Nicole said.
"You're like my younger sister, I wouldn't want you. That's like incest!" Alexi declared.
"Come, I'll introduce you to Jen." Nicole said as she walked towards the elevator.
Alexi was curious about this woman Miguel said he couldn't get, so he quickly abandoned his plan of harassing Miguel and followed Nicole.
"She's assigned at the VIP ward right now." Nicole explained as she keyed in the code for the top floor. "I'll say you're tailing me around then introduce you." Nicole said with a smile.
"You're planning something." Alexi said as he stared at Nicole.
Nicole smiled and walked out of the elevator. Alexi was way too curious to resist what seemed to be a guaranteed failure.
"How's the patient?" Nicole asked as she approached the nurse's station.
"He's recovered nicely." A nurse Alexi recognized said. He could see as the other nurses eyed him hungrily. Who wouldn't want the famous Alexander Sebastian, everyone wanted to be the one to capture his heart, he was after all the President's son and a very accomplished politician in his own right.
"Jen, go with Carmina. Observe her." Nicole instructed. Alexi looked up to see a pretty young woman nod at Nicole's instructions, she was his type. She looked innocent and smart, he couldn't wait to get to know her.
Alexi watched as Nicole, Carmina, and Jen entered a VIP ward. It was probably the patient Miguel had operated on the previous day.
"Mr. Aleix, how are you?" One of the nurses asked as she leaned forward against the counter. Alexi turned and noticed how the top two buttons of her uniform were not hooked into place.
"I'm fine." Alexi said. He was sure he had slept with that one. He really hated it when the women he had slept with tried to come back for more.
"I wonder if Mr. Alexi remembers me?" The nurse asked.
"Should I?" Alexi asked as he looked at the ward door. In his head he cursed at Nicole for leaving him out there. "I think you're breaking Saints Hospital policy by wearing your uniform that way."
The nurse was shocked and simply left him alone out of embarrassment. After a few moments, Nicole, Carmina, and Jen walked out of the ward.
"Alexi, can you wait here? I need to check on another patient." Nicole said as she looked at the charts at the nurse's station.
"Sure." Alexi said with a nod.
"Carmina and Lexi, come with me please." Nicole said as she called over the nurse that had tired to flirt with Alexi.
When they had left Alexi noticed Jen reading some documents on the table.
"You're new?" Alexi asked as he moved closer to her.
"Yes sir." Jen answered politely.
"Jen right?" Alexi asked.
"Yes sir." She responded politely again.
"Do you know who I am?" Alexi asked the woman, it would be a rare occurrence if she didn't.
"Of course, sir." Jen answered again.
"You know, normally by now, most women would be happy to have my attention." Alexi said as he looked her in the eye.
"Not interested." Jen said as she returned to her work.
