Chapter Seventy-Nine: Resignation and Meeting

As one of the few large hospitals in Tudor, Bartholomew's Hospital was extremely busy in the afternoon.

Nancy, a nurse who was transferred to the day shift, hurriedly ran between the beds in the lobby, changing dressings, dressing wounds, injecting drugs, and immobilizing limbs......

A lot of the work that seems to be extremely hard is done by a group of women.

In the busyness, Nancy, who inadvertently swept over the window, saw a familiar figure in her eyes, which made her figure stunned.

- It's my sister!

"Lilian, help me, my sister is here, I'll take a look." Nancy hurriedly called for her friend's help, and then hurried to the window.

"Why are you here?" Nancy looked surprised.

"Can't we come and see you?" Caroline smiled.

"What's going on?" Nancy asked.

"What's the matter? Why do I have to have something to do? Caroline pretended to be relaxed.

"Sister, tell me the truth, what happened? It's not close to Lister Street, so how can you come here if you're fine? ”

Nancy grabbed her sister's shoulder and asked with a serious expression.

Sister Mo Ruomei, she knows her sister very well, she is definitely not a person who can skip class!

Caroline hesitated for a moment, then thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Langdon is going to be transferred to another country. ”

Nancy covered her mouth: "Huh? Like Count Bilder? ”

Caroline nodded, "Almost." ”

"Doesn't that mean that you ...... Looking for a job again? ”

"Yes! However, it doesn't matter, this is not a dismissal, it will not cause any stain on my career, and with this work experience, I think I will definitely be more popular in the domestic market. In fact, Mr. Langdon wants me to go with him! ”

"You refused?"

"Almost, he asked me to think about it and give him an answer tomorrow morning."

Caroline pretended to be careless, then changed the subject, reached out and took out the salary she had just paid, and said with a smug face:

"Look, my sister has paid her salary, and I'll treat you to a big dinner tonight."

Nancy hesitated: "It really doesn't matter?" ”

"It's okay, don't think about it, it's the right thing to do well."

"Hmmm! By the way, when did Mr. Langdon leave? ”

"I will leave tomorrow morning, and today is the official end of the employment relationship."

"That's it!"

Nancy nodded.

"Nancyβ€”" The head nurse greeted from the ward.

"It's coming!"

Nancy responded with a friendly voice, hurriedly waved her hand to her sister, and ran towards the lobby.

"I'm going to work, sister, goodbye!"

"Goodbye!"

Caroline looked at her sister's busy figure, the smile on her face gradually dissipated, and she turned away a little lonely.

My sister's job is good.

She couldn't leave her sister alone in Tudor, nor could she take her away for her own selfishness.

So she decided to resign from Mr. Langdon's invitation.

Having made up her mind, Caroline decided not to wait until tomorrow morning, but to go and talk to Mr. Langdon now, so that people would not have to wait for her tomorrow morning.

After thinking about it, she immediately walked towards Lister Street.

It was a long way, but she didn't choose to rent a carriage.

In Tudor, horse-drawn carriages start at 1 shilling, and 2 miles above that cost 6 pence per mile.

If she continued to work for Mr. Langdon, she could afford it at her monthly salary of Β£3 and 6 shillings, and the occasional hire of a carriage.

But now she had to save every penny.

After walking for more than half an hour, Caroline finally arrived at Langdon's house, and when she made it clear that she had come, Mr. Langdon looked very sorry.

But he still respects her choice.

On the way home, Caroline was in a trance.

Since she got a job, she has discussed with her sister more than once and is looking forward to saving money to buy a house, and several times she has discussed where the house is cheaper and where the house is better...... Wait a minute.

Now it's all in vain.

Life is so fickle.

This was even more evident as Caroline prepared dinner.

It's been a long time since she's been shirking for food.

When I went out to buy food tonight, many acquaintances looked surprised.

"Hey, Caroline, I heard you didn't work as a maid for the nobles? I can bring back piles of sausages and bacon every day, how can I buy vegetables today? ”

What can Caroline say?

I can only smile and not speak.

As she bought her things and left, the women whispered and glanced at her from time to time, and she always felt like she was being pointed.

It wasn't until I fled home that I felt a little better.

She was absentmindedly preparing dinner, and before she could think about it, her sister's voice suddenly came from outside the house.

"Sister, you raise me, I'm so angry! I quit. ”

Before anyone arrived, angry voices had already broken in.

"What happened?"

Caroline turned her head to look at her sister who had slammed the door open, stunned.

"The head nurse scolded me again today!"

"Did you do something wrong?"

Caroline became nervous, the last time her sister was scolded, it was because she helped someone pay for the consultation.

"No, she thinks I've been talking to you for too long, what to say, if Dr. Vogt sees it, he will definitely fire me, I will be unconvinced and argue a few words, she will scold me, I will be angry, and I will quit my job." Nancy puffed.

"What do you say? You quit your job? ”

"Yes! It's okay if you don't do it! Less money and more things, sister, doesn't Mr. Langdon want you to go with him? Shall I go with you? I don't believe there is a hospital in that place, and with my experience at Bartholomew's Hospital, people must be rushing to get it outside. ”

Nancy looked triumphant.

Caroline was stunned, why did this sound so familiar?

"Are you really quitting?"

"Resigned, otherwise you can come back so early?"

"You lied to me, didn't you?"

Caroline looked serious.

Nancy lowered her head and looked at her toes: "Sister, Tudor is too tired to live, and it is not a good thing to go to other places." In the past, we didn't dare to go because we were afraid that we would not be familiar with it, but now that we have the opportunity, why don't we go outside and have a look? ”

"Besides, your salary is much higher than mine, and if you want to resign, I will resign! I was a graduate of a women's medical school, and I couldn't go to a big hospital or get a job in a private clinic. You're different, it's not easy to meet a good employer. ”

Caroline pursed her lips, a flash of relief and complexity on her face, "I have already rejected Mr. Langdon......"

"Ah, didn't it mean early?"

"I thought about it...... Hey......"

Before Caroline could finish her sentence, she was dragged out of the house by Nancy.

"Don't say it, go and apologize to Mr. Langdon!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Alas, the door is not closed yet! ”

Caroline was finally willing to hire a carriage, and at the urging of the two sisters, the carriage sped all the way to 22 Lister Street.

Caroline gets out of the car and knocks on her employer's door, while Nancy stands at the bottom of the staircase, waiting patiently.

His eyes subconsciously looked around this beautiful street, and his eyes were full of envy.

- If only I could live here in the future.

Not long after, the door to apartment 22 opened, and Caroline's kind voice came.

"Mr. Langdon, please come back!"

Nancy looked up curiously, wanting to see what Inspector Langdon, who was described by her sister as a gentleman, studious, humble and fair, looked like.

As far as the eye could see, Nancy's eyes were as round as a cat.
