Chapter 39: Terrible Fiance Chapter 39: Terrible Fiance “I was planning to visit my daughter before heading to the
restaurant, but | was not sure if | had have enough tto see her, spend a little while, and then make the
drive.” “Your daughter?” Reuben asked, his brows lifting in surprise.
“You did not mention you had a daughter.” His tone shifted slightly, curiosity mixed with something unreadable.
“She’s not my biological daughter,” Courage quickly explained, shaking her head to clear any misunderstanding.
“She woke up from a coma last month.” “The girl | told you about, the one who was in a coma for four months,”
Courage began, her voice soft but steady.
“When she woke up, she called‘Mommy.’ It caughtby surprise, but | decided to let her callthat.
| mean, she’s really beautiful, and... of all her family members, only her eldest brother visits her consistently.
The rest barely show up.
So | thought, why not?
If it gives her comfort, I'll let her call‘Mom.'” “Oh, so that’s it,” Reuben replied, nodding as understanding
dawned on his face.
“Okay, | get it now.
But you shouldn't just go around accepting children like that, you know.” “Okay.
Uhm can she join us for lunch?” Courage asked carefully, her tone soft as she tried not to upset him further.
Reuben stared at her in disbelief, his eyebrows furrowing.
“Are you serious right now?
| drove all the way here to spend twith you, and you want to bring in a little girl to ruin the whole thing?
Do you even hear yourself?
That's it.
I'm going back to the office,” he said, shaking his head and turning on his heel.
“No, no!” Courage said quickly, panic lacing her voice as she stepped forward.
“Don’t worry about it.
You should've just toldyou didn’t want her to come.
She doesn’t have to join us, okay?
I'll see her after lunch,” she added, her tone soothing as she tried to calm him down.
“Okay, let's go eat, but you've really dampened my mood,” Reuben said sharply, grabbing the lunchbox from the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcar and striding ahead, leaving Courage standing there, visibly flustered.
From behind a parked car, Nnenna quietly observed the exchange.
The man Nurse Courage was speaking to appeared to be in his mid forties but maintained a youthful
appearance, thanks to his well kept demeanor.
He stood next to Nurse Courage, who, though the sage, looked significantly younger.
His neatly trimmed beard, running down his cheeks and jawline, added a rugged touch to his otherwise polished
look.
Dressed in a company jacket, it was clear that he worked for a finance company located a bit far from Royal
Hospital.
Despite his professional attire, there was a certain arrogance in the way he carried himself, something that didn’t
sit well with Nnenna.
She continued listening and her heart sinking as she overheard their conversation.
Guilt crept up her spine as she realized she might have indirectly caused trouble for Nurse Courage.
‘Maybe | shouldn't have asked her to visitso often...
she thought regretfully.” Just as she began to drown in her own guilt, the familiar chof the love system
interrupted her thoughts.
Ding!
“You need to help Nurse Courage leave her terrible fiancé.
Completing this mission will grant you 200 good points, with an additional 10 points for every successful step
completed.” Nnenna froze, blinking at the bold statement.
‘Terrible fiancé?’ Her eyes shifted back to the man as he disappeared into the distance, her mind already turning
over the system’s words.
The system’s reminder jolted Nnenna, and the realization hit her like a truck, the man Nurse Courage was with
was indeed her terrible fiancé who later killed her!
For a moment, she felt unsure of what to do, pacing back and forth as her mind worked furiously.
Then, a flash of determination crossed her face.
“I'm going to crash that lunch date,” she declared to herself with newfound resolve.
Without wasting another second, she dashed back to her room, carefully dodging the nurses who seemed to be
searching for someone, most likely her.
Once inside, she quickly changed back into her hospital gown, deciding that playing the sick card was her best
chance to avoid trouble.
With a feigned sluggishness, she left the room, moving deliberately as if she were still weak from her recovery.
She made her way down to the cafeteria, skillfully avoiding public areas where she might get caught.
Finally, she arrived at the cafeteria and scanned the space eagerly, her eyes darting from table to table.
She ignored the buzz of conversation

Fixing her eyes on her target, Nnenna moved stealthily through the cafeteria, unaware that her every move was
being watched by two men in the surveillance room.
Completely oblivious, she approached the table where Nurse Courage and her fiancé were seated.
As she reached them, she plastered on a feigned look of surprise, her expression a mix of innocence and
curiosity.
“Mommy Courage, you're here?
Who's this?” she asked in the sweetest tone, blinking her large, doe like eyes as if she were a lost lamb.
Nurse Courage’s face lit up with joy at the sight of Nnenna.
In an instant, she completely forgot her fiancé’s earlier words and motioned for her to ccloser.
“Nnenna, dear!
Come, sit beside me!” she said warmly.
She gestured to the seat next to her and continued with a proud smile, “Reuben, this is the girl I've been telling
you about.

Reuben was seething inside, but he forced a strained smile onto his face.
“So, you're the one who's been taking
