Chapter 45: Love Is Blind Chapter 45: Love Is Blind As Nurse Courage and Nnenna made their way around the

corner, they cface to face with the group of nurses gossiping in the hallway.

The moment the nurses saw Nurse Courage, sof them, whose consciences were still intact, lowered their

gazes in shame.

But others, whose moral compasses had long since faded, didn’t even flinch, continuing to ignore her, making it

clear they didn’t care whether she overheard their cruel words or not.

Nurse Courage stood tall, walking with Nnenna into the elevator.

With a calm, unwavering gaze, she stared at each of them in turn, her eyes challenging them to acknowledge

the woman they had been gossiping about.

Nnenna felt a pang of guilt for her role in exposing Reuben’s true nature.

While she knew it was necessary, she couldn't help but feel responsible for drawing the unwanted attention to

Nurse Courage.

Back in the privacy of Nnenna’s room, she checked Nnenna'’s ankle carefully.

After a quick call to a doctor, Nnenna underwent an x-ray, and thankfully, the results cback clear.

Everything was fine.

Still, Nurse Courage couldn't seem to find any peace, her mind racing.

Lying on the bed, Nnenna closed her eyes in frustration but couldn't sleep.

“Love System,” she whispered, the guilt from the earlier situation pressing heavily on her.

“I messed up.

Now everyone knows about what Nurse Courage is going through.

How can she continue working like this?” The system’s voice responded calmly “It's not over, Nnenna.

You've made progress.

Exposure is the first step.

It’s a painful one, but it leads to change.

Nurse Courage is stronger than you think, and together, you'll make sure she finds a way to rise above this.”

Nnenna let out a slow breath, a mix of relief and determination settling over her.

The path to freeing Nurse Courage from Reuben wasn’t going to be easy, but it had to be done.

She would keep pushing, one step at a time.

Nnenna sat up quietly, offering her support without saying a word.

She could see the sadness in Nurse Courage’s eyes, the weight of her thoughts pressing on her.

For a while, they just sat there in silence, neither of them speaking, each lost in their own thoughts.

The tension in the air was thick, and Nnenna could feel her heart ache for the woman who had been so kind to

her.

Finally, after about ten minutes of this silent connection, Nurse Courage bid Nnenna goodbye with a forced smile,

though it didn’t quite reach her eyes.

She walked out of the room, her thoughts racing.

Nnenna watched her leave, feeling a mix of sympathy and frustration.

She knew her plan wasn’t perfect, but she had to keep moving forward to save Nurse Courage from the tangled

mess of her relationship with Reuben.

Nurse Courage’s mind was full of confusion about Reuben’s strange behavior that day.

His sudden outburst, and then the change in his attitude once he realized he couldn't manipulate her so easily,

left her unsettled.

Despite the unease bubbling inside her, she decided to go ahead with her plan.

After work, she would transfer the 500,000 to him.

Maybe doing that would smooth things over and make him happy again, though a small voice inside her

wondered if it was really the right choice.

Money matters had always been a sensitive topic between her and Reuben.

Despite Reuben’s claims of being a great accountant, he often seemed to feel inferior to her, especially because

her salary was higher than his.

His discomfort around her financial independence was obvious, and it always seemed to create an awkward

distance between them.

But Nurse Courage couldn't help but wonder, how could a less than 100,000 difference in their incomes cause

such a rift?

Wasn't it a small amount, especially when compared to their other concerns?

It didn’t make sense to her, but she knew that for Reuben, the imbalance in their earnings was a thorn in his

pride that he couldn't seem to shake off.

She had earned less when she first started out.

It wasn’t easy, but after multiple promotions, she had finally reached the position she held now.

She had worked so hard to get here, and yet, when she tried to explain to Reuben that it didn’t matter to her if

he earned less, he never seemed to fully accept it.

She had told him tand again that once they were married, her money would be his money, that their

finances would be shared.

But even now, there were times when his passive aggressive remarks resurfaced, the subtle gaslighting making

her second guess everything.

The sissues kept creeping in, no matter how much she tried to reassure him.

Why couldn't he just accept her for who she was?
