It was one thing to be afraid, but she could not bring herself to go seeking trouble when she knew that there was going to be trouble.So Natalie said to Sean, “Director, I want to do surgery.”She said this is a tactful way but her intention was clear. Sean was a smart man but he still asked, “Why? Are you afraid that people will learn from your experience?”Natalie smiled and said, “I am the one who wants to learn for you. Plus, I don’t need any special skills to perform surgery. I get better the more I perform, no?”Perhaps Sean was touched when she said she wanted to learn from him. He pondered for a while and smiled. “Do you really want to do surgery?”“Yeah! The main reason I come to the thoracic surgery department is to learn from Dr. Quinton.”Since Natalie started interning at Huahe Hospital, she stopped calling Sean as Dr. Quinton. She would call him Dr. Sean or Physician Quinton instead and then recently she would address him as Director Quinton. Today, however, this
Sean was a man of his word. He said he would let her tag along in the surgery and indeed, he let her be his second assistant in the afternoon. The surgeries in the thoracic surgery department would take a very long time. When she finished the surgery, it was almost 9 pm.When Natalie changed her clothes and went back to her office, Zoey came looking for her just in time. “Hey, can you get off work now?”“Yeah!”“I’ll wait for you. And then we’ll pick up Howie from my house.”When she heard this, Natalie’s gaze shifted. She apologized. “I can’t. I can’t go to your house today.”“Why? Even though I don’t mind letting your brother stay with me, but wouldn’t he’ll worry about you?”She knew that, so that was why she felt so awkward.However, at this period where she did not have agency over herself, she needed to think twice before doing anything. Plus, she rather let Howard live with Zoey instead of living with the Winters. At least there was someone to take care of him.So, she
"Nat." He called a name with a tone only used outside of the hospital. "Are you hiding something from me?" He asked. "N… No…" "What's the story with Panlong District then?" Sean Quinton was born and raised in a poor family, though he became friends with Luke Shears in college. He had a lasting impression of Natalie Snowden, who was Luke Shears's ex-fiance. Later, she enrolled in the same university he was in and majored in thoracic surgery. That was what made them closer to each other. Eight years ago, the Snowden family fell from grace. Luke had ditched Natalie in favor of Jessica Winters. The Snowden family never rose again after that, and Natalie Snowden was removed from her position as the top young mistress of Hua City… Since then, Sean had been secretly taking care of Natalie. He had followed her progress closely for the past eight years. No matter as her senior in university or as her superior at work, he did not for her to be led astray. That question might no
She was panicking, but she knew that she had to remain calm when dealing with his tantrums. Otherwise, she would only worsen the situation. "He's a director at the hospital, and is nothing more than my superior!" "Is that so?" John Winters evidently did not believe it. "His gaze when he looked like me told me otherwise!" "That's because of your attitude when you first came up to the floor. He was only worried about me." He raised an eyebrow. "So, does your male superior worry about all his subordinates?" Natalie Snowden had no reply. It was not because she had done something wrong, but because their relationship was truly something more than mere friends. She did not think that their relationship ought to be put into question, though John was right that Sean was more concerned about her than the other doctors. Even so, she felt that she should be able to explain their relationship to her husband, if not that her husband was John Winters. She felt a headache creeping
Natalie Snowden took the next three days off against her will. Rather than being on vacation, it felt more like being put under house arrest. In those three days, she did nothing other than sleep and eat. Rather, the family did not allow her to do anything. Whenever she tried to do something, someone would run to her and say, "Master says this" or "Master says that"… She might not be used to it, but she was pampered as the Young Madam of the Winters family in those three days. Except that she had not seen John Winters in those three days at all… She was not eager to find out where he went, even though she asked the servants about his whereabouts. The Winters family servants were all very loyal. Whenever she asked about John Winters, all of them answered, "I don't know." She understood that the servants might not know his exact location, but they ought to know where he roughly was. Of course, she received no answers other than "I don't know." Was that not a little too st
Zoey Graham's elder brother was also a doctor in Huahe Hospital. They were not in the same department, but he and Sean Quinton were in the same cohort and thus had been good friends. Other than Luke Shears, he was Sean's best friend. That was why Natalie Snowden thought of asking Sean's address from him. Zoey became excited when Natalie asked that question. "Wow! I thought you said that you had no affection for him." "It's not that. I'm looking for him for something important." "What's so important?" "I'll tell you after I've confirmed something. Can you help me ask for Director Quinton's house address now?" Zoey blinked. "Aren't you very close with Director Quinton? Don't you have his house address already?" "I've told you that I'm not that close to him. We don't have any relations outside of work." Zoey only half-believed her, though she said cheerfully, "Promise me that you'll tell me everything after, OK?" "Of course…" "Alright then! After lunch, I'll…" Natali
'So it's because of him after all!' What John Winters did was much lesser than what she had expected him to do, but she could not tolerate the fact that he had asked Sean to leave the medical world forever. She knew very well that Sean Quinton was a medical genius. Losing him would be a tremendous blow to the entire medical world. She trembled with anger. "He's gone overboard!" Sean was composed throughout the entire incident, a stark contrast to Natalie's reaction. "To be frank, I've always dreamed of going to that hospital as a visiting surgeon. If I choose to leave the medical world instead, I'll regret it for the rest of my life." Then, he said the words that he had been trying to hold back for the past three days."Do you truly love him, Nat?" "…" Natalie Snowden was speechless. She did not expect the conversation to take on such a tangent. Her hands that were resting on her thighs gripped her pants tightly. Words were not necessary. He knew her temperament and unde
Natalie Snowden was incredibly irritated. She resented John Winters even more because of what she was told. 'That man is ridiculously unreasonable…' She would not have to experience that awkward scene with Sean Quinton, if not that John Winters had made his move on Sean because of the small misunderstanding. So… She needed to clarify the situation with John Winters. She did not appreciate the fact that Sean was forced to leave the country, even if they might not be able to look at each other eye-to-eye anymore. Sean's words replayed one more time in her mind and she clenched her fists… She had sustained her anger all the way back to the Winters house, but he was not there. Still fueled by that anger, she got the family driver to send her to the Winters Corporation building. She reached there and was intercepted at the reception counter… The security guards looked at her. "I'm sorry! You can't go up if you're not an employee of the company…" "I'm here to look for John Wi
