Morrison, standing silently on the side, suddenly talked to Julius. He said in a humble and respectful tone.Julius took a look at him with a strict expression. He asked, "Are you in charge of this surgery?"Morrison nodded and responded. "Yes, professor, I'm in charge of orthopedics and wound suturing."Julius generously offered, "Fine, you can assist Fletcher and me today. Consider it a lesson out of school."Morrison was flooded with joy. He nodded quickly and kept saying, "Thanks."Rhys was filled with a surge of astonishment by what he saw. He thought, 'Dr. Rayes is an expert in orthopedics at Serenity General Hospital. Professor Ghett must be an authority in orthopedics to gain Dr. Rayes' respect. Not to mention that Professor Keane hardly accepts any invitations from hospitals. Catherine made a phone call, and both of them were here in person. How powerful is she.'Catherine stepped forward and shook their hands. "Thanks, professors. I owe you one."Fletcher approached Ca
The small, shabby fried chicken shop was now crowded with good-looking people casually sitting around the table, talking and laughing. Their sports cars formed a line parking by the road. The fried chicken shop was taken over. Not only did Ronin and Kim come, but Drake and Withal rushed in as soon as they saw the message.Ronin handed the fries to Catherine and asked, "Catherine, is Audrey okay?"Catherine explained, "The surgery was successful. She still needs to rest for a while."Everyone knew that Audrey was Catherine's elder sister, and Triston dreamed of marrying Audrey and followed her everywhere. They all cared about Audrey's injury.The shop owner was glad to see so many people eating there. He served another tray of fried chicken to their table. The chicken was taken by someone on the way. Judging by how he dressed, the shop owner knew he was one of them. So he said, "Are you one of them? Here's your fried chicken."The food in the roadside shop didn't come with rules an
Even after a late-night street barbecue session, Catherine couldn't resist getting up early to head to the lab.If she hadn't received an unexpected message about Audrey's mishap, she would've arrived even earlier, straight from the dorm to the lab.Once inside the lab, Catherine immediately delved into her work.To ensure she had a quiet work environment, Marshall cleared out his own exclusive lab space for Catherine.In the research building, this was a treatment usually reserved for esteemed professors.When professors from other departments got wind of this, they sought out Marshall and claimed he was breaking the rules. Once a precedent was set, it made things difficult for everyone else.However, Marshall just chuckled and even teased them, saying, "If you had a gem like mine, you'd offer not just a lab but even your last penny."Those folks thought it was against the rules, but their arguments fell flat against Marshall's words because Catherine's capabilities spoke volum
With Shane's prompting, someone eagerly passed the microphone to Catherine.Without hesitation, Catherine confidently reached for the microphone and shared her thoughts on the earlier question.Her viewpoint was fresh. She offered unique insights peppered with professional jargon, which left the students from the economics department in the audience wide-eyed and impressed.As a student from the EIE department, she responded to an economics query more astutely than those who had been studying in the economics department for years.Those who had initially anticipated amusement found themselves deeply impressed by Catherine. They thought Catherine was a genius who could excel outside her field with remarkable achievements.Catherine succinctly finished speaking and set the microphone down.On the stage, Shane voluntarily applauded Catherine. Soon after, thunderous applause erupted from the audience. It was a testament to their admiration for Catherine. Her insights garnered such ap
The atmosphere in the ward suddenly turned eerie.Audrey noticed Triston's odd expression. She glanced at him and then looked at the woman in front. "Who are you looking for?"Andrea looked at Audrey with a graceful smile. "Miss Swann, I'm Triston's fiancée. Since you and my fiancé are friends, and I heard about your injury while filming in Loxton, I came to check on you. Though it may seem sudden, it's just out of concern. Please don't mind!" Audrey thought inwardly, "What a bitch! She is here to make a scene and even asked me not to mind."Audrey crossed her arms and fixed her eyes back on Triston.Her face turned grim, and she said coldly in a sardonic tone, "Mr. Lambert, I didn't expect that my minor injury would prompt such a personal visit from you and your fiancée. Quite an effort!"Triston felt a chill down his spine from Audrey's glare. And he became upset.Though Triston used to be a playboy, those women never dared to say a word against him. He used the money to deal
Ten minutes later, Catherine emerged from the doctor's office. Audrey's surgical outcome was even more perfect than she had anticipated. The wound had already begun to heal well, showing positive progress.Having learned the information, Catherine didn't bother to greet Audrey in the ward; instead, she walked straight out of the hospital.Just as she exited, she spotted Paxton waiting by the car door.Sensing her presence, Paxton immediately approached and bowed respectfully just a step away. "Miss Swann, Mr. Duncan had to return to Casier today due to urgent matters."Knowing Paxton wouldn't come without a reason, Catherine inquired, "Did you get any updates on the investigation you were assigned last night?""Yes." Paxton nodded. He was here for that very reason. He had rushed to the hospital entrance upon learning of Catherine's arrival."Get in the car," Catherine said, bending down and entering the vehicle.Paxton swiftly took the driver's seat. "Miss Swann, our people visi
In the afternoon, Catherine received a call from Paxton. On the phone, Paxton informed her that they had found the person.With nothing else to do that afternoon, Catherine decided to go and see for herself. "Wait, I'll come myself."After hanging up, Catherine grabbed her coat and prepared to leave the dorm. Suddenly, Amelia popped her head up from the bed and looked at Catherine. "Catherine, are you leaving?"Catherine nodded slightly. "Do you need anything?"Amelia thought for a moment but decided it wasn't a big deal, so she didn't elaborate. "It's nothing. Go ahead. If you come back, let me know and bring me some snacks.""Sure," Catherine agreed and left the dorm. She saw a familiar vehicle parked by the roadside outside the school gate. She initially thought it was Paxton who came to pick her up, but to her surprise, when she got into the car, she saw Branden sitting in the back seat."Why are you back?" asked Catherine.Karl had been unwell these days, and the Duncans'
Roderick's emotions spiraled out of control, and he resembled a frenzied beast. Displaying a threatening demeanor, he seemed almost eager to devour Branden on the spot. However, Paxton swiftly subdued him with a single hand before he could come forward, delivering a punch to his abdomen. Roderick crumpled in pain, curling into a ball."Who do you think you are? How dare you trouble Mr. Duncan? It was practically seeking death," thought Paxton. Feeling offended, he struck another blow to Roderick's stomach.This time, Roderick couldn't maintain his stance and collapsed to the ground, clutching his abdomen in agony.Branden approached slowly and looked down on Roderick with disdain. With lips slightly parted, he said in a cold, mocking tone, "This's what I gave you back."This simple sentence instantly changed Roderick's complexion. He dared not contemplate what this dignified man might do to his sister.Even though he had a firm and somewhat disdainful attitude just moments ago,
