Bella was utterly shocked when she heard their conversation before passing them.
"Hey, I have a HOT news!! Tristan Sinclair dating Laura Kiels!?"
"You mean the rising model, Laura? Are you serious?" asked a nurse with bobbed hair in shock. Upon seeing her friend nod in confirmation, she could only gasp in surprise.
"Yes... Yes... I have the proof!" she giggled, sitting next to the nurse with bobbed hair.
"Oh, please... Could both of you stop gossiping about celebrities? Also, stop spreading baseless news," another nurse wearing cat eyes glasses said, glaring at them for spouting nonsense.
The bob-haired nurse nodded in agreement with her friend, "Yeah, we should stop gossiping. There's no way Tristan Sinclair is dating Laura Kiels because I heard Tristan already has a wife."
"Wife? They've never admitted it. How could a chaebol marry without a party or media coverage? Impossible, right?"
"Hmm, you're right about that too. So, is it true that the news of his marriage is also gossip?"
"Sinclair Corp never made a statement. I don't need to answer. Everyone in the country knows..."
Bella clearly heard what the three nurses were talking about. She could only control her emotions no matter how angry and hurt she had heard them talk about Tristan and his other woman. She lowered her head, looking at the floor, unable to walk.
"Goodness! Stop your cheap gossip, please. It's none of our business to discuss their personal matters," said the cat eyes glasses nurse.
"I'm not gossiping, but I—" she paused, taking out her cell phone. "Check for yourself; a few hours ago, I saw him come here with Laura Kiels to meet the ob-gyn doctor." She handed her cell phone.
Though doubtful, the cat eyes glasses nurse accepted the cell phone and was shocked when she saw the picture. "Heavens! You're right... this picture is indeed Mr. Tristan Sinclair and the woman is Laura Kiels."
"Why are you shocked? You should be happy for them, right? This power couple looks so lovely," She said as she took her cell phone back while giggling at the candid photo she had taken this afternoon.
"Yes... yes... I will ship them. The man looks so hot and rich. And the woman looks so beautiful. Ugh, I can't wait to see their child."
"Hahaha, yeah, their children will definitely be very adorable, right!?"
"—Stop talking! This is a hospital, not a cafe!" Suddenly, the head nurse appeared from behind the door and silenced them all.
...
"Child! Tristan has a child with another woman?" A look of surprise flashed across Bella's eyes, but she maintained her calm expression. Although she felt this news was a big blow to her. She didn't know how to react because this news completely shattered her hopes.
Kimberly, the nurse who guided Bella to her VIP room, was taken aback by Bella's pale face. Worried she might faint again, Kimberly held her hand and said, "Ms. Donovan, this way..." Her voice diverted the nurse inside the station.
They all covered their mouths, looking towards the corridor in shock, unaware that a patient was nearby.
"Hmm," Bella nodded, forced to walk again, following the nurse to room #2024.
"Ma'am, let me take you to your bed," Kimberly offered.
"No need. I can walk. Thank you," Bella smiles even though her smile feels forced.
After shutting the door behind her, Bella remained rooted to her spot, her mind swirling with the earlier conversation.
