"What's wrong with you?" When Melanie saw Jefford's eyes dim, she was puzzled. "Is it because I introduced you to my friends that you started overthinking? It can't be, right?" Jeffrey withdrew his gaze from her, and looked straight ahead. He was completely unprepared to hear that she was pregnant, but in the short time of a meal, he had already made a decision. Regardless of whose child she was carrying, he was willing to take care of her and her unborn child. She was his wife, so her child would naturally be his. Of course, that was if she was willing. Jeffrey even hoped that since she had just found out about her pregnancy, maybe she would change her mind and be willing to go along with the pretense and build a real family with him, allowing both Ermin and the unborn child to have a complete family. After all, they were already a family to begin with! Yet, when he was full of hope, what he got was her rejection. It left him feeling very upset... He didn't answer, and
“Collate all the medical case studies you’ve dealt with in the past. It’s best if you can make a resume detailing your experience from the start of your medical career,” said Professor Turner. “Such demanding requirements?” Melanie asked in surprise.“What else were you expecting? Experts are here to share their most advanced medical techniques, with the goal of identifying high-potential youths who can build on these techniques and carry them forward. They can’t possibly be inviting every Tom, Dick, and Harry,” Professor Turner explained.Melanie nodded. “Alright, I’ll take the time to prepare that.”-Melanie began delving into Professor Turner’s medical notes, harboring that sliver of hope in her heart, while carefully preparing her medical resume.The following day, she was booking flight tickets back home for herself with Annie and William, when Annie said, “Seems like you’re the last person to know.”“Know what?”“William and I won’t be returning home for the time being.
Jeffrey remembered how Melanie’s baby bump looked when she was three months pregnant. It had been even more prominent whenever she sat down.It seemed she had lost a lot of weight recently…Jeffrey sighed.“Why are you sighing?” Melanie asked, puzzled.He was not a man who often sighed, but she kept hearing him do so as of late.“Nothing,” Jeffrey said, shaking his head.Although he had long set his mind on taking care of Melanie’s baby, the thought of her being pregnant gave him mixed feelings.Doubts hung over his head. He wondered who the father of her baby was…Was it Gabriel?However, despite Gabriel’s frequent visits to the base, there remained no further development in Melanie and Gabriel’s relationship. That was proof enough that she didn’t truly love the baby’s father. She just couldn’t bear to give up on this life that crept up on her.That thought made Jeffrey feel much better.-The moment they entered his private plane, Jeffrey made Melanie rest in the lounge
Jeffrey nodded. He had gotten used to it during Melanie’s first pregnancy…There was no reason for him to not be used to it right now.He instructed them to be on shifts and keep watch over Melanie through the night, and to administer treatment the moment she felt any discomfort. Then, he dismissed them.The air outside the bedroom in the private jet was tense as the doctors remained on standby.Melanie, on the other hand, slept like a baby.The next morning, she looked at the bags under Jefford’s eyes, as well as the four doctors. It was a stark contrast with her plump, dewy skin from a good night’s rest. She felt immensely better.Although her breakfast was filled with vegetables once again, she enjoyed her meal thoroughly.-After breakfast, the plane landed smoothly in Harbor City before noon.“The car’s waiting downstairs,” Jeffrey said. He helped Melanie with her luggage, and escorted her into the elevator.Melanie nodded, and said, “My car is waiting downstairs, too.
Melanie turned back to see Sonia, right in the front of the queue beside her.She had almost forgotten about Sonia.Ever since she cured Gabriel of his condition, Sonia, who kept causing trouble in the Frost family, and Yvonne Frost, who didn’t like her, never appeared before her again.Melanie found it ridiculous for Sonia to be here.“Ms. Sullivan, are you here to attend the medical forum as well?” Melanie asked, suddenly feeling a strong urge to laugh.“Please, call me Dr. Sullivan.”Sonia waved the resume in her hands.She said smugly, “You might not know this, but I’ve been studying medicine over the past half a year. My mentor says I’m highly talented. How should I put this? Look, you and I are worlds apart. I am qualified to enter the forum!”Melanie glanced at Sonia’s resume, her eyes darkening.She was shocked by the idea of Sonia studying medicine. Was Sonia provoked by her into doing it?The entry requirements were confusing, too. Was Sonia really that talented?M
“Who…”Melanie had wanted to explain that she didn’t mean to show any disrespect to the experts, but the organizers throwing their weight around and encouraging factions wasn’t something worthy of respect.She didn’t want anyone taking her words out of context.Before she could even explain herself, she realized that the man who just emerged was someone she knew.Sonia thought that Melanie was asking Professor Marshall who he was.Thinking that Melanie didn’t know Professor Marshall’s identity, Sonia stepped forward and said ingratiatingly, “He’s the famous Professor Marshall! He’s an expert in advanced medical science, and the key case studies to be shared today all come from him! Is he not worthy of your respect?”She even ended with a critical question…Melanie sneered. “I didn’t mean that. I believe that those who know, will know.”“The forum’s about to begin. Why aren’t things wrapping up here?”Professor Marshall didn’t say anything further. He instead turned around to q
Although interrupting someone wasn’t courteous and wasn’t something Professor Marshall liked to do, but…He truly didn’t see how Sonia qualified for entry based on her own. Most of all, he didn’t want to listen to her lie through her teeth and pollute his ears.“Professor Marshall! Professor, please hear me out. There must be a misunderstanding…”Staff members began clearing out the scene, but Sonia refused to leave. That was when she heard the staff members calling for security. She had no choice but to leave with a tail between her legs, not forgetting to glare at Melanie before leaving.The crowd continued making comments about Melanie, but the way they looked at her had changed. A resume Professor Marshall complimented was undoubtedly amazing!Through Professor Marshall’s summary, they were impressed to hear about the various feats that this doctor managed to achieve at such a young age.“That doctor said it well! How could a staff member of the forum be bribed? To think th
All the experts were sparkling with wit during the medical exchange forum.The juniors off-stage were awestruck by every single case study shared.That was especially so when Professor Marshall made his final presentation, during which he analyzed two successful medical cases featuring patients in vegetative state regaining consciousness.What’s more, both cases happened within this year.Professor Marshall realized how effective his treatment was, and was therefore excited to return home to share his success so that fellow doctors can test it out and provide him with suggestions. Having great minds come together may accelerate the refinement of this preliminary success.Melanie’s excitement was bubbling in her chest throughout the forum.Professor Turner was right.The symptoms the patients exhibited in those two medical cases sounded similar to that of her mother! Like her mother, the cause of them being in a vegetative state was accidental.If she could apply Professor Marsh
