True Love Waits novel Chapter 869

With a mysterious smile on his face, Sheffield took a few steps back.

The other guy, who was itching for a fight, stopped. The other thugs surrounding Sheffield saw what was going on behind him, and in an instant, their facial expressions changed.

More and more people were emerging silently from the darkness near the bridge. Some of them noticed that a dozen vehicles were either pulling up or on their way, their lights blinding in the darkness as they traced over the scene. Those vehicles carried seven or eight people each, some riding on top.

Sheffield put his hands into his pockets, yawned and said to his reinforcements lazily, "Take 'em out quickly, boys. If you do it fast enough, maybe we can get something to eat. If you're thorough, dinner's on me. How does the fifth floor of the Alioth Building sound?"

Most of the men who came to help Sheffield had never been to the fifth floor of the Alioth Building before. They were excited by the offer. One of them even exclaimed, "Mr. Tang's a great guy. Bros, let's waste these idiots!"

"Let's fight!" the men behind Sheffield shouted in unison.

A couple of minutes later, Sheffield relaxed and left the bridge in his car, followed by a dozen vehicles heading in the same direction.

More than thirty thugs lay on the ground. Only some were conscious. One of them managed to take out his cell phone and dialed a number. As he was gasping for air, he reported, "Mr. Ji, we failed..."

In Y City First General Hospital

When Sheffield walked into the nurses' station, he saw them gossiping about something.

At the sight of him, one of the nurses rushed over. "Dr. Tang is here! Good morning, Dr. Tang!"

People around him all greeted him. "You're early! Or did you stay up all night and just decide to make it to work?"

"Are you kidding? Why sleep at home when I can come to work and see you lovely ladies?" Sheffield teased as he ran his fingers through his hair, playing cool.

His praise made the nurses blush. "Wow...Did he just...?"

"So, what's the big news? It's got to be big, or you'd be working. One of you said something about a star?" he asked with keen interest, bending over the counter.

"Yes, Dr. Tang. Debbie Nian! Heard of her? The famous singer. Married to Carlos Huo."

Sheffield's heart thumped in his chest. How could he not know her? She was going to be his future mother-in-law. His smile froze on his face. "Is she..."

A nurse interrupted him and said excitedly, "She's here with her eldest daughter, the regional CEO of ZL Group. They came to visit the patient in Ward 9. But they kept it hush-hush. We didn't recognize them till they took off their sunglasses."

Another nurse cut in excitedly, "That daughter of hers is a real looker. She's better looking in real life than on TV. Oh, my God. I could go gay for her, that's for sure."

'The regional CEO of ZL group, Ward 9...' It took him a while to process the information.

He had been racking his brain, trying to figure out how to introduce himself to his future mother-in-law. Now she was right here, at the hospital he worked at. He had to think fast.

Just then, Horace came out of his office and shouted at him, "Sheffield, you're here? It's time for rounds. You up for it?"

Sheffield was never reliable. When he was in a good mood, he would go on rounds, visiting the different wards and checking on patients. When he was in a bad mood, he would stay in the office.

'Rounds?' Suddenly, an idea came to him. "Yeah! Count me in!"
