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
Acupuncture was a relatively more complex technique in alternate medicine. People who practiced it were usually very talented. And those who had mastered acupuncture were generally of advanced age. Someone as young as Lana being able to utilize alternate medicine and acupuncture at the same time was almost unheard of. Preston was excited when he heard Lana asking for the tools. He quickly beckoned for his apprentice to bring his tools over. Lana thanked him and took the tools out. Then, she began to apply acupuncture to Merida. After she had put all the needles in place, her forehead was covered in sweat. "T-Thank you. I w-would be dead if not … for you," Merida stammered. It was only a short while ago when Merida couldn't even form words with her mouth. But after Lana's treatment, she could already speak, even if it wasn't in complete sentences. Chris and Andrew looked at each other in bewilderment. They were shocked by Lana's skills. Preston was so excited that he was i
At the end of the day, Chris and Carol were in the wrong. That was the undeniable fact. Andrew finally realized how hard he failed Chris when it came to educating him. He deserved what was happening to him and had no one to blame but himself. "Also, I know that you're rich. But can you not insult people with money? Did you think Lana was boasting when she said she didn't need your money? "Did you think everyone had to accept whatever you offered? If that's the case, I think you're sorely mistaken. "The things you offered are peanuts compared to Lana's current net worth. She has so many assets that she can't even keep track of them. Why would she even consider your offer?"Nadia's words made Andrew feel shame. It had been a long time since he suffered such humiliation, but he couldn't come up with any retorts."Chris, apologize to Ms. Lana. You were in the wrong." Chris started to grasp the gravity of the situation when Andrew, who doted on him, said that. "Dad, do you rea
In the spacious conference room, a man was sitting at the head of the table. He was handsome with a cold demeanor. He was like an elegant rose perched on a cliff, charming but dangerous. The others sitting at the table were working diligently. They were carrying out their duties carefully. They were afraid of attracting the attention of the man at the head of the table. They didn't know if he would send someone to the mines of Swaharia if they looked at him the wrong way.It was unclear if the man was in a bad mood or not. He had already sent five or six upper management members to remote locations. Lincoln noticed that Liam looked at his phone again. He frowned like he was expecting a call. It was the 19th time he had looked at his phone since the meeting had begun. During a break in the meeting, Lincoln approached Liam and asked softly, "Sir, are you waiting for a call?"Unexpectedly, he was met with Liam's piercing gaze. He was like a lion looking at his prey. Lincoln fe
