The Intern Nurse is a Double-faced Beauty

Yolanda clutched her face, staring at me in disbelief. Her eyes were red, a mix of shock and anger, though she tried to keep up her helpless act.

“You… you hit me…”

I slapped her again, sending her stumbling. My tone was cold. “Yes, I hit you.”

“Yolanda, I can’t stand incompetence. If you’re so clueless, go back and get your act together. Don’t come here and mess things up!”

“You knew I had a scalpel and still charged at me like that. Were you trying to hurt me or kill the patient?”

Her eyes flashed with hatred, but she forced herself to look hurt and said in a small voice, “I was just trying to stop you from making things worse.”

“The patient was stable before. It was only after you reopened the chest that their condition deteriorated.”

I pointed at the blood-soaked gauze. “Stable? You left gauze inside the patient during stitching. How is that ‘stable’?”

“Do you only understand the severity when someone’s life is in danger?”

“Did all your training go to waste?”

Yolanda, twisting her clothes, looked pitiful. “It’s not that serious. The patient didn’t die, did they?”

I was furious. “Is it only serious when someone dies? That’s a human life we’re talking about!”

Yolanda pouted and threw herself into Vincent’s arms, crying dramatically.

“Waa… I’m really sorry… I didn’t mean to… I’ve always been this clumsy…”

“Waa… Vincent, she hurt me so much…”

Vincent shot me a disapproving look. “Wendy, that’s enough! You’re frightening Yolanda.”

I was fuming. “If you’re so aware of your own incompetence, then stay out of trouble and don’t make things worse for everyone else!”

Yolanda grumbled, “I’ve already apologized. What more do you want from me?”

I scoffed. “An apology? Do you think a few tears and a weak apology can fix a life? Do you really think your apology means anything?”

“And you, always playing the delicate little thing. How old are you? Haven’t you learned how to communicate properly?”

“Yolanda, stop pretending to be cute. It’s just gross!”

I turned to Vincent and said coldly, “Your lapses in protocol and Yolanda’s incompetence almost caused a major disaster and worsened the patient’s condition. I’m going to report this exactly as it happened.”

“And Yolanda, you’d better figure out how you’re going to explain this to the patient’s family.”

“There’s no way she’s passing her internship with such a lack of professionalism and respect for life.”

Someone like her is a danger to this hospital.

Yolanda was my intern, but from the moment she started at the hospital, she’d treated me like an enemy, constantly at odds with me.

I thought about it carefully and realized her hostility probably began the moment she learned that Vincent was my boyfriend.

One person deliberately stirring trouble, the other just going along with it.

They were a match made in heaven, it seemed.

With that thought, I turned on my heel and walked away, ignoring Vincent’s dark expression.

Behind me, Yolanda’s wailing voice echoed.

“Waa… Vincent, why does she have to target me like this…”
