Professor Marshall had solved Professor Turner’s problems, and there was positive feedback from Professor Turner's side, which should have been great news. Melanie thought she would be able to sleep soundly, but unexpectedly, she heard news that Nathan intended to harm Ermin and Eliza... Even if she trusted Annie and William, how could she not worry? Nathan... She never forgot about seeking revenge on him. It was evident that although Nathan had not taken any action for a long time, he still remembered. As long as she was alive, he would never stop targeting her... The current passive situation was very unfavorable to Melanie. She needed to come up with a solution to turn the tables as soon as possible and be on the offensive. - Melanie didn't sleep much that night and woke up early in the morning. She had breakfast alone and went to the ward alone. Everyone was extremely polite to her, but she wasn’t bothered. After all, she was just a newcomer, and she didn't plan to
Melanie and Professor Marshall entered the ward and stood by the bed. She said, "Dr. Landon, I dare not say that my method will definitely save you. I’m only 50 percent confident." "Ah..." Caleb smiled bitterly, tears streaming down his face. "Dr. Jones, I apologize to you. I was stubborn and reckless. I hope you can forgive me." "Don't think that I deliberately said I’m 50 percent confident to provoke you. In my eyes, you are now a patient, and every word I say comes from reason," Melanie calmly replied. Caleb was stunned for a moment, then nodded. "I can try acupuncture to detoxify you, but I also don't have full confidence due to individual differences," Melanie said. "Okay, I understand. I know this," Caleb assured repeatedly. "But rest assured, I will only cure you, not make you worse than you are now." Melanie smiled. Caleb was somewhat dazed, tears continuing to flow from his eyes. "Professor, I'll go prepare, and I'll come back to perform acupuncture for Caleb
"Hey..." Melanie intended to ask him some questions, but the patient had already walked away on his crutches. Clearly, he didn't want to talk to her. She didn't open her hand, just clenched it secretly to confirm it was just a note. When she walked out of the ward and reached a quiet place with no one around, she faced the wall and opened the note. On it was one sentence, "8 pm, the hospital's west gate. J." J? Melanie rolled her eyes. - Throughout the day, Melanie immersed herself in surgeries. After the incident in the morning, everyone knew that she had the backing of Alex and Professor Marshall, so no one dared to trouble her anymore and everyone was polite to her. There were also a few who took the opportunity to flatter her. Melanie just smiled and ignored them. She only wanted to help Professor Marshall with his workload. She wanted to treat as many patients as she could and improve her own skills at the same time. In the evening, a nurse asked, "Dr. Jones? A
Jeffrey's lips curled up into a mocking smile. Melanie thought he had gone to great lengths and risked great danger to come here just to impress her and to get her to continue helping him rise to power. Did he think that his concern for her was all fake? He felt a chill in his heart. He wanted to explain to her, to open up his heart to her, but he knew that explaining now would be futile. No matter how hard he tried to prove that he genuinely cared for her, in her eyes, it would still be seen as deceit colored by ulterior motives. He could only take a roundabout approach. "Everyone in Tempest is an elite and a ruthless killer. Do you think it's naive to try to win their support?" But Melanie wasn't intimidated by his words. "Have you heard of Hank Castillo?" Jeffrey's pupils contracted slightly. Of course, he had heard of him. "What about him?" She knew he must have heard of Hank and continued, "Although I'm not sure about Hank's relationship with Nathan, judging from the
The man's body that was pressing against hers was burning hot and aroused. Melanie could feel it clearly. She knew this wasn't a simple offense. He didn't just want to bully her and to regain his pride after being rejected; he seemed to be releasing his deep grievances and indignation after having been suppressed for so long... Why was it like this? Why did she always involuntarily think of Jeffrey every time his body was pressed against her like this? Instead of rejecting him outright, her first reaction was longing... This feeling made her feel ashamed! She had clearly made up her mind to never associate Jefford with Jeffrey again! She didn't want to betray Jeffrey! With determination, Melanie fiercely dug her nails into the man's shoulder. In the momentary relaxation of his kiss, she bit down hard on his lower lip. The taste of blood spread between their intertwined lips and teeth, but she didn't let go. He didn't struggle either. Even though she was biting him lik
"Who are they?" "They look a bit like the hospital's security guards..." someone muttered. The armed guards quickly sealed off the exits and shouted, "Quiet! All nurses, follow me!" After speaking, the head of the guards gestured with his hand. His men rushed forward without a word, dragging the nurses who were still eating in the cafeteria away. "What are you doing? Why are you taking us away?" "Where are you taking us?" the nurses asked in panic. "Don't talk nonsense! Let's go!" "Why aren't you taking them?" Some nurses pointed at the people left in the cafeteria and asked in confusion, "Just because we're nurses? What did we do? We didn't do anything wrong!" "Shut up, or I'll shut your mouth for you!" The armed guards intimidated them and dragged the struggling nurses away. Melanie looked around the cafeteria. After a brief shock, everyone calmed down, appearing calm and composed as if they were used to such big scenes. She continued to eat, but she couldn't
Melanie walked back to the dormitory. The wind was chilly. She had forgotten to put on her coat. Even after she lay in bed and wrapped herself in blankets, her feet were still icy cold. From the beginning, she didn't leave a good impression on Hank. He might suspect that she knew who Alex was all along but didn't say, probably thinking that she had ulterior motives. This time, she even pried information about Nathan out of Alex. She didn't know if Hank would suspect her or monitor her. It would be even harder to win over Hank now. Yet, as long as Hank and Nathan's relationship was truly bad, she wouldn't need to worry about surveillance because her grudge against Nathan was irreconcilable! - With a group of nurses gone from the temporary hospital, the hospital became even busier. Melanie, along with other doctors, busied themselves with surgeries, and when the nurses were overwhelmed, they helped check on the postoperative condition of the patients and even assisted wit
Six's complexion showed no signs of any problems. In terms of vitality, he probably had more than Alex, who had a glib tongue. "Dr. Jones, how's Six's heart?" Alex asked from behind. Melanie looked around at everyone's concerned expressions. She didn't want to expose Six’s lies, especially when it involved other people. Moreover, whether Six lied or not had nothing to do with her. Melanie smiled and replied vaguely, "Since he has already started taking medication, he should continue to take it on time and in the prescribed dosage for it to be effective." "Did you find any other problems?" At this point, the tall bodyguard in the group asked. "None," Melanie replied truthfully. "Your medical skills are nothing special!" the tall bodyguard muttered. "Who are you talking about?" Alex immediately puffed up his chest like a proud rooster. Melanie sneered, "Traditional medicine and western medicine are. The diagnosis of heart problems with imaging is naturally more accurate
