Chapter 310 Eva Makes Her Move
Eva sidled up to Martin, tapping the ID badge pinned to her chest.
"Didn't catch that? Look closely. I'm a cardiac nurse at Ivara City Hospital... ha, from now on, I'll be taking care of this place—and your son. I'll make sure he's in tip-top shape."
Martin blinked in confusion.
Seeing his silence, Eva persisted, "We'll be seeing each other every day. Aren't you thrilled? Surprise!"
He let out a forced chuckle, his mouth twitching awkwardly.
Surprised? Yes.
But pleased? Not in the slightest.
Being in constant contact with a woman with ulterior motives was not Martin's idea of a good time. He'd have to speak with the hospital director to move her to another department.

ReadingAs if reading his thoughts, Eva boasted triumphantly, "Just so you know, I wasGregory personally selected me for this department by Gregory. I won't leave until I win you over."
The corners of Martin's eyes twitched as he set his jaw and said firmly, "Miss LuoGreen, this is a hospital. We can't afford any mistakes; lives are at stake. If you're here to pursue a relationship, then this job isn't for you."
Eva, asAs though anticipating his response, Eva pulled out her nursing certificate from her lab coat pocket and thrust it into his hand.
"See? This is my nursing certification. I graduated from a top nursing school. I scored 695 out of 750 on the college entrance exam. I could have easily gone to a first-tier medical university, but I chose nursing school instead. I prefer the hands-on work of helping patients, rather than being cooped up in some office. And just so you know, before coming to Ivara City, I spent three years at the prestigious Hancheng Hospital."
Martin was momentarily speechless, and found himself grudgingly admiring her selfless bravery.
Eva lifted her chin in pride, as if to say, "See, am'See, aren't I not impressive?"?'
TheMartin's expression on Martin's face contorted.
He, who was always in control and decisive, was somehow bested by this young woman.
Having dealt with Martin, Eva crouched down to address the young boy, feeling his wary gaze upon her. She flashed a sweet smile,. "Your name is Randy, right? I'm Eva—Luo of the lovely waters, and city of swirling desires Green, but you can call me Eva."
While Randy might not have been as sharp as Charles, he was acutely aware of the woman's intentions toward his daddy. In a falsely spiteful tone, he said, "A beauty that can topple kingdoms and cities? Don't get too full of yourself. You're not even in the same league as my mom. You don't deserve that titleMommy."
Most women would have flown off the handle at such a comment.
But, but Eva didn't get angry;. iInstead, she said with a cheerful smile, "If someone as handsome as you is any indication, your mMommy must be stunning. Sure, I may not be as beautiful as she is, but I have inner beauty, and that's what really counts, right?"
Randy was speechless, stumped by her reply.
Eva didn't press her advantage. Instead, she gently tousled his hair, saying with a smile, "Auntie has to go to work now. I'll come see you later."
Randy pouted,. "Don't bother, I'll be with my mMommy later."
Eva immediately responded, "Oh, is your mMommy in Ivara City? How about I join you and get to meet her? That would giveallow me the chance to thank her for stepping aside and giving me a shot with your daddy."
Randy was so angry he felt like he could spit blood.
Randy's face reddened as if he was about to explode.
"My parents are getting back together, so you can just give up right now!" he snapped.
Eva shrugged"I don't buy it," Eva said, shrugging off his comment. "I don't buy it. "Your great-grandparents have told me everything."
While Randy was at a loss for words again.
, Martin couldn't stand it any longer, interjecting coldly, .
"He's right. ," Martin said coldly. "I'm reconciling with my ex-wife, and I won't be marrying anyone else in this lifetime, other than herthe love of my life."
Eva pouted,. "Unless I see it with my own eyes, I'll assume this is just an excuse to reject me. I won't give up that easily."
With that, she left the hospital room without giving them the chance to respond.
Martin had never encountered a situation like this before.
The women who hadusually adored him in the past would retreat at the first sign of his icy demeanor, but Eva was the first who wasn't scared off by his coldness—she was persistent, despite his clear rejection. Martin didn't know how to get rid of her.
Despite his clear rejection, she still held on.
For the first time, Martin didn't know how to get rid of her.
After Eva had left, Randy immediately pulled out his phone and fired off a message in the group chat with Charles and Fannie.
"OMG, OMG, trouble in paradise—Mom'sRandy: [Red alert, red alert! This is an emergency! Mommy's got a rival, and she's fierce! Mom's got serious competition!"!]
He attached a surreptitious photo he had snapped.
"She mightRandy: [She's not be as pretty as Mommy, but she has a really beautiful smile, sweet likewhich kinda reminds me of candy. I might have fallen for her if it weren't for my iron will."super-duper willpower.]
Charles and Fannie were in class, their phones set to silent, so they missed his messages.
As noon approached.
After, after wrapping up her morning tasks, Eva sauntered into the hospital room, all smiles, and coaxed,smiling. "It's lunchtime! How about we grab a bite together? The cafeteria on the second floor is rumored to have great food, shall we?"
Martin, who had just finished helping Randy into his jacket after treatment, replied stoically, "Sorry, I have plans with my wife."
Eva corrected him, "Ex"You mean ex-wife."
Martin insisted, "We're getting remarriedmarried again."
Unruffled, Eva quipped, "But 'getting' remarried means notyou haven't done it yet, so she's not your wife at the moment."
Martin couldn't help but laugh at the ridiculousness of the argument and, finding the debate pointless, he debate. He simply took Randy by the hand and left the room, ignoring Eva's persistenceEva.
Puffing her cheeks in annoyance, Eva looked every bit the petulant frog.
As Randy stepped out of the room, he couldn't resist turning back to make a silly face at Evaher as he stepped out of the room.
Not one to be outdone, Eva shot back a goofy face of her own, shouting after their retreating figures, "I won't give up..."!"
Their departure was seemingly unheard, so Martin left the hospital and drove to pick up
Charles and Fannie from daycare. He then escorted the three of them to the Riverside Apartments.
Patricia had been waiting anxiously. As she opened the door and caught sight of Fannie, her eyes instantly welled with tears. She squatted down and enveloped her in a tight embrace, sobbing, "You're okay, you're really okay. Mommy missed you so much... My heart ached..."
She squatted down and enveloped her in a tight embrace, sobbing. "You're okay, you're really okay. Mommy missed you so much... My heart achedHeaven ."
God knows how devastated she was when she thought Fannie had perished at sea, so much so that she wished she could follow her.
Now, seeing Fannie alive and well before her, Patricia was overwhelmed with gratitude, thankfulgrateful that her own failed suicide attempt in the StatesCountry M hadn't robbed her of this moment with her three treasures.
Fannie, unsure of what had transpired, gently released herself, tenderly wiping away her mother'smommy's tears, expressing concern,. "Mommy, it's only been a month. Why are you crying so hard? If you missed me thisat much, I'll never leave your side again,; I'll stay with you every day."
Patricia nodded vigorously.
"Okay, stay every day with Mommy... I'll never let you out of my sight again..."
Nothing iswas more joyous than regaining what you thought was lost.
She had never been as thankful for grateful to Martin as she was at that momentthen.
He had repeatedly saved her time and again, supported her. – tThe debt she felt she owed him seemed ever-growing. How could she ever repay him?
