Turning Of The Tide By Diana Sander Novel - Season 2 Episode 17

Hackett lay on the couch in Trevon’s ward all day with Frank. One was sleeping, and the other was

playing mobile games. Trevon had a terrible headache, while Jim was forced to sit on the other couch

as Hackett and Frank occupied all the space on the first couch.

Joy hurried to the hospital with the creamy potato soup she made. When she pushed open the door

and found that her son was not in the ward, she was puzzled. She then walked to the front desk and

asked, “Hello, do you know where the patient in this ward is?”

The nurse smiled and said politely. “Hello, miss. He’s in room 1314.” Hackett stayed in room 1313.

Joy thought, “It seems like he’s enjoying his stay at the hospital, to the extent he’s visiting his

neighbors.”

Joy opened the door incredulously only to find the guys lying on the sofa. They did not look like patients

at all. It looked like they were having a party instead

In reality, she liked these children very much, so she said with a smile. “Frank, I didn’t think you would

be here too.”

Because Hackett knew the patient in room 1314, when Joy went to the ward next door, the nurse did

not stop her.

Frank, who hadn’t fallen asleep yet, sat up and greeted politely, “Hello, Mrs. Blackwell.”

Joy turned around and saw Trevon lying on the hospital bed. She was visibly surprised, and she

subconsciously raised her voice. “Trevon, why are you hospitalized too? What happened? Did you hit a

tree too?”

Frank put a hand to his lips to hide a smile.

Trevon was a little embarrassed by Joy’s concern, but he didn’t know how to explain it to her. “Mrs.

Blackwell, I accidentally got injured.”

Joy wanted to know more about how he got injured. She sat on the edge of the bed and started to

ramble. “Where are you hurt? Hackett got a concussion.”

Trevon was at a loss for words.

Trevon could not withstand Joy’s continuous questions. He was not a talkative person to begin with, so

he signaled Hackett with his eyes.

When Hackett received the signal, he put away his phone and said, “Mom, what delicious food did you

bring me? I’m starving. Stop nagging. I want to eat now. If I starve to death, you can forget about

having a grandchild for the rest of your life.” As he spoke, he pushed Joy out of the door.

Joy was still unwilling to leave. She muttered, “What’s wrong with you, child? I’m still chatting. Send

some to Trevon later. Why don’t I see anyone from the Wilson family?”

As Hackett drank the creamy potato soup, he said, “Mr. Wilson didn’t notify them because he was at his

family

would be worried. Don’t go telling them about it.”

Joy replied. “Hey, don’t you know me? Your mother is very tight-lipped.”

“That’s good. Go back. I’ll stay for another two days.”

Joy was feeling the urge to gossip. ‘Son, did Sherri visit you these few days? I met her the other day.

Let me tell you, that young lady gets more beautiful every time I see her. Don’t tell me that you don’t

find Sherri beautiful.”

Sherri’s face appeared in Hackett’s mind. He was too busy arguing that day to take a closer look at her.

Now that he thought about it, she looked much better and more feminine than before. She gave off the

feeling of maturity, but she looked so indifferent. “Mom, don’t worry about such things. I won’t stay

single. I guarantee that I’ll get a wife next year. Is that okay? Can you let me go now? You should take

an afternoon nap, so go home. Also, you don’t have to send me creamy potato soup tomorrow. I’m

going to be eating with Trevon.”

He was about to throw up.

Joy stood up. “I’ll hold you to your word. Don’t lie to me. Alright, then stay for a few more days. Whether

it’s Natalie or Sherri, you have to get one of them to be your girlfriend.” She then grabbed her bag from

the couch and walked off in her high heels. When she reached the door, she glared at Hackett.

Receiving the glare, Hackett said, “I got it.”

Natalie and Sherri were having lunch in the cafeteria of the inpatient department.

Sherri could not help but sigh. “Why do you think the inpatient department’s food is better than the food

in the outpatient

clinici

Natalie stirred her macaroni. “That’s because you’re tired of eating in the outpatient clinic’s canteen. No

matter how good the food is, you’ll get sick of it if you eat too much. Don’t you know that people like

new things?”

Natalie popped another bite of food into her mouth. “We’ll go early tomorrow. I checked the weather

forecast and it that the weather will be pretty good, about 64 E. Let’s carpool. I’ll get up early to pick

you up. The little ones like to be

together, too.”

Sherri agreed. “Sure. The director treats us quite well, and we are working the same shifts. Moreover,

we’re both in the inpatient department. We’re destined to be friends for the rest of our lives.”

Natalie chuckled. She was genuinely happy.

Natalie said. “Recently, I’ve been assigned to the inpatient department full-time.”

Sherri scooped up some food as she asked in confusion, “Why? Aren’t our shifts the same?”

Natalie did not want to probe too deeply. It was just a job, after all. “Who knows?” Sherri did not ask

further. It was not a big deal. It was fine as long as they were still working in the same hospital.

Sherri suddenly thought of the discussion she heard in the office this morning. “Hey, I heard from the

young lady in our office that there are two handsome men living on the 13th floor. Tell me how

handsome they are.”

Natalie choked on her macaroni and coughed until tears flowed out. “Cough, cough, cough… Are you

sure you want to know?”

Sherri lowered her voice and said with certainty, “I’m just a single mother. This doesn’t stop me from

admiring handsome men. Just because I’m a mother now doesn’t mean I can’t admire handsome men.

That’s not fair.”

Natalie calmed down and cleared her throat. “Alright, then sit up and listen carefully. Don’t make a

sound.”

Natalie glanced at her best friend, who sat up, and chuckled. “One of them is the one you fought with

two days ago. He’s the child’s father.”

Sherri’s expression was instantly filled with disdain. “Fuck What kind of taste do young ladies have

these days? How can such a scumbag be called handsome? Look at the caretaker he hired. He has to

be served by a beauty even when he’s staying at a hospital. Isn’t it disgusting? I don’t think he can

breathe if he doesn’t have a female caretaker by his side.” Sherri didn’t know that Hackett fired the

caretaker on the day the fight ended.

After complaining about Hackett, she continued to ask, “What about the other one?”

Natalie said calmly. “Trevon.”

Sherri’s voice suddenly rose. “What’s going on? Did they plan to stay at the hospital together? Did he

get a concussion too?”

Natalie smiled and took a sip of water, then licked her lips. “You’re amazing. He really did get a

concussion.”

Sherri was at a loss for words.

Sherri was really sick of the two men. “Natalie, remember not to be soft-hearted and forgive him. He

didn’t like then. He’s not worthy of you now.”

Natalie replied. “I won’t. He’s just a patient to me.”

you back

The sun was shining brightly, and the rays penetrated the car window. The gentle breeze made one

feel very relaxed.

On Saturday morning, Natalie took Lena, Jenny, and Jasper to the Landor family early to pick up

Sherri.

When they arrived at Sherri’s place, Natalie told the two servants to hold Jasper and stay in the car.

Natalie then turned to her son and said, “Jasper, Mom will pick up Ruby. I’ll be back soon. Can you wait

for Mom in the car for a while?”

As soon as he heard that Natalie was going to pick up Ruby, Jasper nodded happily with a smile on his

face.

A child’s happiness was the most simple thing in the world.

Natalie pushed open the door and got out of the car. She was wearing sporty clothes today. She had

put on a white hoodie and a khaki-colored vest, thinking that it would be more convenient to take care

of the children dressed like this.

As soon as Natalie got out of the car, she saw Juana carrying Ruby out. When Ruby saw Natalie,

whom Ruby had not seen for a few days, Ruby shouted happily, “Mommy.”

Natalie took Ruby from Juana’s arms and said with a smile, “Thanks for taking care of her, Juana.

Ruby, have you been good these few days?”

Juana felt a sense of accomplishment. “This child is really obedient. She doesn’t cry or make a fuss at

all. She’s a good girl. I really like her. Natalie, if you’re still busy on Monday, you can send her back on

Sunday. I’m very free.”

Natalie smiled brightly. “Alright, Juana. Sorry to trouble you.”

Juana grinned and said that it was no trouble at all. It was obvious that she liked Ruby from the bottom

of her heart.

Of course, Natalie also felt a little guilty. After all, it was a lie. Forget it. She would apologize to her in

the future.

Sherri was also dressed casually. She was wearing jeans, a sweater, and a cropped cashmere jacket.

“Mom, I’m leaving now.

Be careful. Watch your step.

“Got it. Don’t worry

Back in the car, Natalie said as she fastened her seatbelt. “It seems that Juana likes Ruby already.

When are you going to tell

her?”

Sherri fastened her seatbelt as well and turned to look at the two children who were playing with each

other happily. The scene was especially harmonious. “Let’s wait a little longer. I’m afraid that my mother

will interrogate me about the child’s.

father.”

Natalie started the car and drove at a constant speed to Athana Amusement Park. “That’s a problem,

alright.”

Sherri turned sideways. “Do you think my mother will force me to marry? Ruby will have a stepdad.

After all, she cares. about the Landor family’s reputation.”

Natalie said affirmatively, “No. I can tell that Juana likes Ruby very much. She wouldn’t ask just any

man to be Ruby’s stepfather. Don’t overthink.”

Sherri thought about it and agreed. Recently, her mother had been doting on Ruby. It was like she

knew Ruby was her real granddaughter. Her mother was so busy paying attention to Ruby that she

completely ignored Sherri. Sherri was not used to her mother not scolding her.

Indeed, humans were always discontented.
