Priscilla's simple yet grand birthday celebration finally began. With Romelius and Marion around, no one dared to gossip about Lana in front of others. Even Priscilla had softened her attitude toward her. Throughout the meal, she kept on having people serve Lana with dishes. Lana didn't think much about it either, and after thanking everyone, she dug in with relish. On the contrary, the youngest member of the Quinn family, Rosa, was nowhere to be seen the entire time. It remained uncertain whether she was upset because Romelius scolded her harshly just now.Joyce was even more hospitable than Marion. She gracefully moved between each table and continually urged everyone to eat and drink more.Her warmth earned her plenty of praise. One of the guests said, "In my opinion, when it comes to choosing a spouse, it's better to marry someone from a humble background. See how friendly she is with us."Another chimed in, "It's hard to believe I'm having dinner at the President's hous
"Are you kidding? How could a high spender not have this basic knowledge? It's common sense not to drink alcohol after taking cephalosporin. Isn't this something everyone is aware of?" "Exactly. Could it be that Lana is up to something?" Everyone had various opinions on the victim's situation, and there were all kinds of speculations. Some even suspected Lana of having shady dealings with the prosecution.Devon quickly stood up and said, "Please have faith in our judicial authorities. The scenario you're concerned about is absolutely improbable." Devon's words carried the most credibility! Nicholas then continued, "There are indeed many unanswered questions in this case. For instance, the deceased's family claims she wasn't sick before her passing, so there was no need for her to take cephalosporin. "Furthermore, even if she did have some health issues and visited a doctor herself, what about the medication? This matter has evolved beyond a consumer dispute. "The police ha
When Lana caught up with Liam, he had already started the car and was about to leave. "Liam, please listen to me!" Liam's face remained stone-cold. The look in his eyes was filled with disappointment. "What else is there to say? I advise you not to waste your time on me. The one at your place is more likable and better at taking care of people than I am." Liam had really misunderstood her relationship with Nicholas. "Liam, it's not what you think. Please get out of the car, and I'll explain it to you," Lana said as she held onto the car window to stop Liam from leaving. Liam didn't buy Lana's words at all. "You almost hooked up in the hallway. How can you still say that there's nothing between both of you?" Lana was filled with regret at this moment. She shouldn't have bantered with Nicholas. However, she couldn't help it. That was how they had always interacted ever since they were kids. "Liam, I'll say it one more time. Get out of the car, and I'll explain!" Lana said
Carol was somewhat afraid to face Chris' parents, but Chris wasn't as worried. He urged, "Why are you still standing there, Carol? My parents want us to come downstairs!" Carol rose to adjust her clothing. She deliberately took her time. "You go ahead. I'll change my clothes and be down shortly." Chris responded without any hesitation, "Alright, then hurry up. I'll head down first." After Chris left, Carol paced nervously in the room, anxiously fidgeting with her hands. She felt utterly lost. Just then, her phone rang. Upon seeing the caller ID, Carol's eyes suddenly widened in shock. The moment the call connected, Carol immediately blamed the other person, "You still dare to call me? You assured me over and over that you'd handle this perfectly, but what's happening now? The police are reopening the investigation, and neither of us can escape that." After Carol had vented her anger, the other person began to explain calmly, and Carol's furious expression gradually subsid
After a night of calming down, Lana called Liam, intending to talk things out with him. However, Liam was still furious. As soon as Lana made the call, he immediately hung up.Lana was feeling rather defeated, but when she remembered that she had to return to work, she quickly got out of bed to get ready. Without having breakfast, she headed to the spa. At the entrance, she saw a familiar figure waiting, dragging a suitcase.In an instant, the grievances she had suppressed rose to the surface. "Nadia …" Lana called, her voice hoarse. Then, she ran toward Nadia.Nadia turned around when she heard her voice and received Lana's tight embrace instantly."Why did you come, Nadia?" Lana asked.Nadia held her in her arms, full of heartache. "How could I not come? You've suffered so much, yet you didn't say a word, you silly girl."Seeing Lana's bloodshot eyes, Nadia felt even more distressed. "Look at you. How much weight have you lost?"Although Lana had always been a source of co
Lana rushed into the store and found a crowd gathered around the cashier counter. An old woman clad in fashionable clothes lay on the ground, unconscious and foaming at the mouth. Hurrying over, Lana instructed, "Let's give her some space, everyone, so we won't affect her breathing."The salespeople recognized her medical knowledge, so they complied immediately. Once the crowd dispersed, Lana began to examine the wealthy woman. She checked the woman's eyes and noticed her pupils were dilated, her lips were purplish, and her heart had stopped beating. It was the classic symptoms of a heart attack. Without a second thought, Lana started resuscitation, administering CPR to the woman. Nadia and the salespeople watched, sweating, as Lana didn't hesitate to perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation despite the foam around the woman's mouth.Under Lana's persistent efforts, nearly ten minutes passed. The woman's pallid face gradually regained its rosy color, and she started breathing aga
While Andrew admired her, he didn't go easy on Lana. "What's your relationship with my wife? Why did Chris say you're involved in this? Is my wife's current state connected to you?" Both Lana and Nadia were fed up with the Turner family's behavior. Without a smile, Lana turned to Andrew and said, "Now I finally understand why Chris behaves like this!"Chris couldn't tolerate anyone speaking ill of his family, especially not in front of his father. He immediately walked toward Lana, ready to slap her. However, Lana was faster. Before Chris's hand could reach her, her slap had already landed on his face. The sound of the crisp slap echoed through the empty hospital corridor. Everyone, including Chris himself, was stunned. How dare Lana strike him?Chris still had his hand raised, but Lana's slap had already left a red mark on his face. It took a moment before Carol screamed, "Lana, are you crazy? How dare you hit Chris?"There was another loud sound, and Carol looked at Lana
Anyone could tell that there was a grudge between Chris and Lana. If that were the case, it would explain why Lana deliberately delayed Merida's treatment and caused her to miss the optimal treatment window. Carol saw that Chris had turned the tide on Lana, so she tried to add fuel to the fire."I guess it's true that hell hath no fury like a woman scorned."Carol's words solidified the fact that Lana intentionally delayed the treatment for Merida, which caused her to miss the optimal treatment window. "You really can't judge a book by its cover. She's such a beautiful woman, but she's so evil.""And I was touched by her actions too. I didn't expect the truth to be another thing entirely." "So the moral of the story is, don't form your opinion too soon. Sometimes, the truth is more than meets the eye." The crowd of family members of the patients and other healthcare workers had been observing the entire incident. They began to discuss Lana's actions among themselves.Chr
