Everybody cracked up when she had to change the millionaire’s diapers. But one night, she spotted SOMETHING down there that gave her goosebumps…
In that moment, they weren’t just nurse and patient, but two people sharing old scars and a belief that hardships could become motivation. Thank you, Lucas said, his tone sincere. For what? Emma asked.
For not seeing me as just some helpless millionaire patient. Lucas began making significant strides in his recovery. Small movements in his legs turned into more deliberate actions with Emma’s support.
Yet, the gossip around the hospital persisted. One morning, as Emma prepared Lucas’s breakfast, she overheard Ben and a group of staff laughing just outside the door. She’s definitely aiming for a marriage contract now, Ben joked loudly, making Emma pause, a pang of hurt crossing her face.
When she entered Lucas’s room, he immediately noticed the tension in her expression. They’re saying things again, aren’t they? he asked, his eyes flashing with anger. Emma shook her head.
It doesn’t matter, I’m here to do my job. Lucas studied her for a long moment before replying. No one should be treated like this.
Especially not someone who’s dedicated to helping others. I won’t let it continue. The next morning, during a hospital-wide meeting, Lucas appeared in his wheelchair, his presence commanding despite his seated position.
A hush fell over the room as he cleared his throat, his eyes scanning the room with quiet authority. I have something to say, he began, his voice steady and deliberate. Lucas turned his gaze toward Dr. Harper, then swept it across the assembled staff.
I’ve heard every whisper, every rumor. I’ve seen how you’ve treated Emma, one of the most dedicated and skilled nurses I’ve ever met. Without her, I wouldn’t be standing here today.
His tone sharpened, cutting through the tension in the room like a blade. Without her, I wouldn’t have made the progress I have, Lucas said firmly. And if this is how you treat your most dedicated staff, I’ll reconsider any future collaborations with this hospital.
Emma stood quietly in the back, her eyes moist but not letting tears fall. Lucas’s words were more than just a defense, they were a declaration of her worth. After the meeting, when they were alone, in the room, Lucas smiled at her.
Thank you for trusting me, he said. Emma replied, her voice soft but filled with emotion. And thank you for believing in me…
