Since his hospital was adjacent to hers, Luke rushed over after receiving the call. To ensure the operation’s success rate, he even brought another thoracic surgeon who cooperated best with him.With this, the operation, which was postponed for two hours, had finally officially started.Even with both Luke and Sean’s help, an organ transplant was a difficult operation, so it went on for a very long time. Fortunately, they were indeed experts in thoracic surgery, so they both bought a lot of time for each other during the operation.Then, Luke surprisingly went on to assist Sean after only resting for a short time once he was done with the procuring surgery in Operating Room One.After an unsuccessful day leading up to the operation, it went on from day until nightfall. When it was finally completed, all the surgical staff, including Natalie, were exhausted. Fortunately, everyone’s efforts were not in vain…The operation was very successful. As long as there was no excessive orga
What did he mean by he had seen her at her ugliest, so there was no need to mind?Their relationship was never about being mindful of appearance and embarrassment at all.At this time, she knew that she needed to push him away. But, his embrace and the smell of coffee still lingering on him…Natalie’s already red, and swollen eyes were suddenly covered with tears.She should not be yearning for his gentleness. But, she no longer had the ‘strength’ to free herself from his arms. She leaned inside his embrace softly as she cried and her shoulders were trembling…Even if the surgery was over, the feeling of fear did not dissipate so quickly.She was still scared and needed someone to hold her tightly, just like he was doing now. However, the tighter his hugs were, the more she felt pitiful about herself…Why did she not have a ‘person’ of her own? Why, why did she always have to share with others?It was the same thing with Luke back then. Now, John was exactly similar, as well. A
Things did not go as planned, so she took a risk in coming to the hospital to watch how things were going.Unfortunately, even if Becky came here personally, the results were not heading toward her expectations. How depressing! That was why she went all the way to the top floor of the hospital alone to breathe. Unexpectedly, she was able to eavesdrop on a juicy conversation while hiding in the corner…After years of being ‘exiled’, Becky had developed a set of good ears. She only needed to hear a small portion of their conversation to know that Luke was not at all in love with Jessica.It was not hard to guess why these types of scumbags would choose to approach that silly girl. It was a shame that she had never figured out his true intentions after so many years.She was still considered one of the Winters, so she would have tried to warn Jessica about these things.However, for now…Ha! She was not so blessed herself; why would she want others to find their happiness?Noneth
As he walked down from the top floor, Luke kept thinking about what he should do.Undoubtedly, he was very much hoping that Natalie would return to his arms. Even though he might not be able to give her any commitment, for the time being, no man would dislike the idea of having several partners anyway, right?Furthermore, Natalie had always been someone special to him.Even if he had given up before, it was never because she had lost the capability to attract him. It was the exact opposite. It was precisely because he still liked her that he had to choose to give her up for other reasons he made up. That was why he was filled with regret.An easy explanation for it would be—— one would always want the things they could not have!Natalie was that something for Luke. So, if he were given the opportunity, he would definitely find a way to reconcile with her even if he had to use any means.When he thought of this, he just happened to raise his head and saw a man walking with a frown
Unaware that those words were merely lies, Sean believed in them.He even sighed in sorrow and said, “Unfortunately, she and I will never end up that way…”“Don’t say that. Look at it this way, isn’t it considered an opportunity for you?”Seemingly sincere, Luke gave Sean an earnest face as if he was doing it for the latter’s sake. “Let Natalie know what kind of a person John truly is. It’s impossible for her to be with a man like that anyway, right?”“...”“Once they’re divorced, doesn’t that mean you’ll have your chance?”Having said that, Luke squinted his eyes at Sean. Then, he asked with a sense of understanding, “Perhaps, you’re bothered that Natalie’s first time wasn’t with you?”“She was already your fiancée when I met her. Why would I mind such a thing?”“I’ve never touched her!”There was a slight change in mood in the room. However, when Sean brought up this topic, Luke’s expression slightly changed as well.Nevertheless, the look in his eyes quickly returned to no
Nevertheless, no matter how angry Assistant Hudson was, he would still do whatever Mr. Winters instructed him to do obediently. Fortunately, this time around, the chairman’s reason was…Great! It seems like something a normal man should do. Thus, despite feeling unsatisfied by having to work overtime without being paid, he still went out enthusiastically.After Greg left, John glanced at the petite woman who was still soundly asleep on his thighs. His cold, expressionless face started to break into a rare smile.He… really did like this woman!Even though the two had been incompatible from the beginning, why… did he suddenly find it so hard to let her go?Filled with curiosity, John gently lowered his head once more. This time, his kiss fell on her lips without hesitation.It tickled! It was so ticklish…It was as if someone had run a feather over her lips. It felt light and soft but also very ticklish…In a daze, Natalie reached out her hand and patted the weird bug on her f
"You're the one who pulled me…"Natalie explained in a panic.It was obvious whose fault it was, especially after her saying it so bluntly. Nevertheless, she could not help but continue to blush.They were too close. Furthermore, she was lying on top of him, and it was very…"It wasn’t my fault!"Natalie emphasized it by saying it louder once more. It was not her doing since he was the one who had pulled her back when she was getting up. That was why she had fallen.Nevertheless, despite wanting to express that fact, her voice sounded sweet and demure when she spoke. She could not help but cover her mouth when she heard herself.Oh lord! What in the world was she doing?When John saw Natalie’s panicked expression, a faint smile appeared on his usually cold face. He said mockingly, "I merely wanted to see your current expression. That’s the reason why I pulled you back.""..."What was he talking about?Natalie opened her small mouth and stared into his eyes; his reaction was
Sean had stayed in the hospital throughout the night because he had been worried about Howie’s condition.When he woke up in his office that morning, he found that Luke had sent him a fax. As for the contents on it…Once he was done looking through it, he felt so angry that his face became distorted.He furiously stormed out of the office. There, he unexpectedly saw Natalie outside of Howie’s ICU ward with a pained expression on her face.“What’s wrong, Natalie?”After sprinting over to her, he looked at her abnormally red face and asked nervously, “Do you feel unwell?”“Dr. Quinton…”The sudden voice frightened had her. Hence, when she turned around, her face was even redder. “Why are you here?”Sean chuckled naturally. “Isn’t it normal for me to be here? As for you, are you okay? Why is your complexion a bit off?”As he spoke, Sean lifted his right hand and subconsciously reached for Natalie’s forehead. He wanted to see if her reddish complexion was because of a fever. Conse
