PopularNovelI didn't have any big problems with Brandon, just felt a bit uncomfortable about his secrets. But I couldn't tell Ellie about that. Her heart was delicate, and she was quick to worry. "No, everything's fine," I said with a smile. "You see how things are between Brandon and me." Her eyes were so clear and bright that I almost felt like I would dirty them just by looking.
I put my hand up to gently cover her eyes. "Really, there's nothing wrong. If you're still worried, you can talk to Brandon when you get back." "Mae," Ellie said, hugging my arm and resting her head on my shoulder, "if Bran ever does something wrong, just scold him or give him a hard time. But don't leave him." She spoke like she was pleading. I nudged her gently with my head. "Okay, I won't." Ellie nodded and said, "Mae, I'll always support you." Her worry was surprising.

"Okay, I'll cby," I said, happy for an excuse to leave.
When I got to Lisa's office, she had already packed the strawberries, plus scherries and blueberries. Since Lisa was busy in the operating room, her assistant gavethe fruit. As I struggled with the heavy bags of fruit, a friendly voice said, "Madeline, lethelp you." I looked up and saw Charles. Before I could say anything, he took the bags from me.
"I don't need help. I can manage," I said, though it was clear I was struggling.
Charles started to ask something but stopped. Then, he asked, "Where are you headed?" "To the orthopedic ward on the 12th floor," I replied.
"Okay, I'll walk you there," Charles said, and he started walking ahead.
I followed Charles for a moment, then asked, "How's your mentor doing?" Charles tightened his grip on the fruit. "Still the same." "Do you visit every day?" I asked, feeling concerned.
"Yeah," he answered.
