Fearing that the assistant might have hurt him, Shawn's dark eyes lifted with a hint of mockery and pity. "You're not the only one who dislikes me, but in the end, I married her.""You!" Roland was so infuriated that he was about to roll up his sleeves and strike Shawn, but the assistant swiftly intervened."Good dogs don't get in the way!" Roland cursed.The assistant ignored him and continued, "Dr. Roland, I'm doing you a favor here. If you had really attacked him earlier, your hands would probably be crippled by now."After his words, he pushed Roland heavily, and the latter slammed into the wall. Overwhelmed with pain and discomfort, Roland clutched his mouth and began to cough uncontrollably.However, his strong dislike for Shawn was not easy to dissipate."Shawn, I don't care how you sweet-talked Ivy into marrying you, but I can bet that you're not even good enough to shine her shoes! You'd better swear that your legs can stand, and you'll survive the surgery's three stages. Oth
Maya, seeing that it was Ivy, immediately responded, "Doctor Jones, your father and a group of people from his village are causing trouble."Her tone carried a mix of disdain and contempt for Ivy.The staff at the County Clinic viewed Ivy, an up-and-coming doctor with great potential, as an annoyance. They were already dealing with numerous patients every day, and now they had to deal with the unsophisticated folks from Harry’s village, who were making a scene.Maya felt this situation was unfortunate.She explained, "Doctor Jones, Zedd has dislocated his shoulder. He was brought in by Harry and the people from his village. Nurse Zaya tried to follow the standard procedures, but Harry thought it was too slow and slapped her in the face. Now, they are causing a scene, demanding expedited treatment."Maya had just finished speaking when Harry's curses could be heard, "My Zedd, is the sole heir of the Jones family. If any harm comes to him due to your incompetence, I'll dig up your ances
Ivy picked up her phone and called the police directly. "Relatives of patients at County Clinic are causing a disturbance, insulting medical staff, refusing to pay medical bills, and their behavior is extremely bad. Please come and mediate."Upon seeing Ivy calling the police, Harry rushed over to her, snatched her phone, and threw it forcefully onto the ground, shattering it into pieces.Ivy didn't get angry and indicated to him to look at the camera on the wall. She said in a calm voice, "I'll make you pay for my phone as well.""Ivy!" Harry glared at her, anger evident in his bulging eyes, and his face became even redder. He raised his hand several times, seemingly wanting to strike her. But the presence of the camera warned him that if he continued, he wouldn't just face a reprimand from the police. It might be difficult to get out in less than ten days or more.Thinking about this, Harry reluctantly lowered his hand.At this point, Grandpa and Grandma Jones suddenly threw themsel
Ivy followed his advice and opened the report. Despite her preparedness, seeing the paternity test result showing a 99.9% match in father-son relationship still evoked a sarcastic feeling.Roland noticed her paling complexion and asked, "Is there anything I can help with? Just let me know.""Senior, thank you for your assistance," she said with a hint of gratitude. Carefully, she put the document away. "Please allow me to take a day off."After this long ordeal, she needed a day of rest.Once Roland left, Ivy scanned all the information she had gathered about Harry and Amara, forwarded it to the police, and reported Harry for fraud once more.After finishing everything, Ivy left the clinic. As she exited County Clinic's gates, she noticed Assistant Luke's car parked outside. The car window was rolled down, revealing Shawn's face."Why did you come?" Ivy's heart warmed, and she got into the car with a smile.Shawn took her bag and asked gently, "How is everything going?"Glancing towar
"What?!"Harry's eyes widened, and he was furious. He shouted at her, pointing his finger at her nose, "I'm your father, it's only right that you pay for me!""Alright," Ivy replied firmly, pointing at the woman behind him and saying, "She's your son's mother. I'll split the cost with her, 3,500 each."When Harry heard this, he became even angrier. He rushed up to Ivy and yelled in her face, "They have no source of income, how can they give you money?""Right." Ivy suddenly remembered, "Over the years, Mom gave her money every month, and you gave her a lot of living expenses too. Those accounts need to be settled."As she spoke, Ivy glanced at the Hermes bag in the woman's hands, a mocking smile playing on her lips.For all these years, not only did he never contribute a single cent to the family, but he also pressured his mother into giving so much money under the guise of atonement. Ivy had to make them pay back double for this."She gave birth to my son, isn't it normal that I supp
The following day, family and friends arrived at the clinic early in the morning.Jasson Brown, watched Ivy administer anesthesia to Shawn. He saw Shawn's consciousness gradually shift from being awake to falling asleep, his thoughts racing. It couldn't help but remind him of how pitifully Shawn had looked when he was injured in a car accident many years ago, and his heart sank."It's been many years, and I'm once again seeing Shawn so vulnerable."Jasson's anxiety began to intensify, and he struggled to breathe and his heart raced, leaning against a corner as he took a long time to regain his composure. He turned to his special assistant and asked, "You think... he won't die, right? Back then, he nearly died. No, you tell me, he won't die, right?!"The special assistant was also trembling with nervousness and fear, more so than when he had started the company with Mr. Tate from scratch."Although we have top doctors from DT Investment waiting nearby, ready to intervene if there's any
"Where did all these reporters come from? Get them out of here!" Roland bellowed as he rushed out of the intensive care unit, waving at the hospital's security to disperse the reporters. "The traffic inspection detachment is next door. Go shake them up!"Ivy was shielded by Emma and Grandma Winston and she was unharmed. However, she continued to hear the offensive insults from the reporters.Ivy stood her ground, gazing directly at the accusing reporter. She spoke with an emotionless tone, "You've got two things wrong."The reporter was taken aback, torn between anger and frustration. "What did I get wrong?"With a slight parting of her red lips, Ivy calmly corrected him, "First, the police had determined my innocence regarding the incident from three years ago, and my medical license wasn't revoked. How do you claim that my medical skills are subpar? Your allegations could be considered defamation, and I can sue you for it.""Second," Ivy continued in a cold tone, as the reporter rem
Ivy put her phone aside and started to focus on planning the second phase of Shawn's surgery."Don't you see it yet?" This day, Roland brought doctors to reevaluate her and announced that she could leave the hospital and return to the clinic."Rumors say that the city is selecting the most promising young doctors in City A, and that old man Bob Alter is trying to boost his daughter-in-law's candidacy!" Ivy chuckled. "But why does supporting her require defaming me?""Because you're shining right now," Roland said mysteriously, "thanks to DT Investment's operation. You're now considered the most promising female orthopedic surgeon in the entire City A. If Shawn's surgery is a major success, your achievements will be world-class.""Senior, this is the surgical plan for the second phase of Shawn's operation. Can you take a look to see if any adjustments are needed?" She handed the plan to Roland, showing little interest in the earlier conversation.Roland stared at her and gave her a rep
At this moment, Jasson was kneeling on the ground with his hands clasped, and he was shocked to see Ivy's voice call. He almost threw the phone in fear. Trembling, he answered the call, hearing Ivy's voice as if it were celestial music. "Put the phone next to his ear." "Okay." Jasson immediately rose, disinfected himself, and entered the ward. He positioned the phone next to Shawn's ear. Then followed a prolonged silence. It was unclear how much time passed, but Ivy eventually spoke, "Shawn, didn't you say you wanted revenge? Didn't you express the desire to retrieve your mother's ashes from the Alter Group building? Why, now, do you wish to declare your intentions with death? Let me make this clear, Shawn, if you dare to die, I'll become a widow directly. I'll take your money and be with Roland, or better yet, I'll be with Dom. I'll have numerous children with him. When that happens, I'll bring them to your ashes and taunt you." "I went to England to consult Professor Watson on h
“What are you standing there for? Save him, quick!” Luke was nearly frantic. Watching his boss in such a state, his premonition was extremely grim. The doctors arrived promptly, pushing the bed into the emergency room. The red light lit up, life and death hung in the balance, everything became an unknown. Luke's heart sank to the bottom. This reminded him of the early years when he and his boss had ventured in England. There were several times when his boss was on the brink of death, and he had repeated his unfulfilled revenge, telling him repeatedly, "You cannot die." However, now, Luke could not guarantee that Mr. Tate would be willing to listen to him because his most beloved person was gone. Without the anchor in life, the will to survive could dwindle, and trying to force him to live might harm him. Sure enough, after a day of rescue, a doctor walked out with trembling steps, looking extremely weak. "The patient's will to survive
Unfortunately, Shawn was still too confident. While he was agonizing over how to win back Ivy's heart, Ivy, on the other hand, had already packed her bags and bid farewell to her family.Emma and Lilith cried with red and swollen eyes, wishing they could turn into pendants sticking to Ivy."Three months, just three months. My child will come out four months later. I don't care; you must come back and accompany me. In case I have a difficult delivery, you can still sign documents for me."Ivy immediately covered her mouth with her hand, "What are you saying? It's so inauspicious. My godson will definitely be healthy."Lilith pouted and kept wiping away tears, "I don't know why I feel so sad. You're obviously coming back, just for three months, but I feel like you're going away for thirty years.""Okay." Ivy was amused by her words, "If you keep talking like this, even my grandfather will cry."Lilith stopped talking, and Ivy hugged Emma, who was quietly sobbing on the side. Feeling emo
After Jasson left, he called Amy. He had seen this divorce lawyer a few years ago. She had no significant family background but had carved out a path for herself with stubbornness and hard work. She was not to be underestimated. "Get ready, come over, let's discuss the details of the divorce," Jasson said to Amy. Amy, who had initially wanted to start a fight, was instantly pacified by Jasson's words. After setting a time with Jasson, Amy turned to call Ivy. "I've scheduled a meeting with him to discuss the divorce details tomorrow at 10 a.m. I'll bring my team there to create a scene. You and Roland should leave quickly," Amy told Ivy. "Thank you," Ivy replied sincerely. 10 a.m. was the time the nanny went out to buy groceries. At that time, she would dress up as the nanny and leave the Livingston family. Since the day she returned to the Livingston family, Dom had informed her that Shawn's people were watching for the moment she left. So, Ivy had no choice but to choose thi
Roland felt her anger was inexplicable, "Shawn hasn't done anything wrong, right? It's just that he used the wrong approach..." He shouldn't have said this. The moment he uttered those words, he immediately touched a nerve with Amy. "You understand nothing!" Amy scolded, "I've encountered too many cases like this. Nasty men say and do everything in the name of love, but the premise of love is built on making the other person happy. Look at Dr. Jones, is she happy?" Roland hung his head guiltily. "In the end, this self-righteous, domineering CEO style is just to please himself, to move himself. The woman gains nothing, and yet, because of this foolish behavior, she's forced into internal conflict, wasting time." Roland silently swallowed the tea in his mouth, feeling that something was not quite right. Although Shawn was his rival in love, was he really deserving of such criticism? "Indeed, his personality has some issues, but h
An hour later, Jasson arrived at the county clinic. As soon as he reached the entrance, Lilith carried a basin of water and poured it directly on his face, turning him into a drenched chicken. "Get lost!" "Hey, don't do this!" Jasson, seeing her pregnant belly, didn't dare to resist. "Put down the water bucket, be careful with your belly!" Lilith was still not satisfied. "Alyssa, go!" Without a second word, Alyssa also poured the water from the basin on Jasson's face. Patients and their families on the road stopped to watch, shocked. It looked like a disturbance, but not quite. "Quick, stop it, come with me." Jasson grabbed Lilith's hand and walked towards the clinic, but Lilith resisted and shook him off. Helpless, Jasson, afraid that something might happen to her, directly lifted her horizontally and rushed into the emergency room. "Doctor, my wife is having a premature birth, move aside, every
At this moment, in the hospital room, Shawn had just finished surgery and was feeling weak. He hoped to listen to the work report and then rest. However, Assistant Luke, to express his dissatisfaction, dragged out a half-hour report into a three-hour one. Closing the laptop, Assistant Luke concluded, "Above is our report. As the executive assistant to the CEO of DT Investment, I will take a half-day off." Shawn nodded in agreement. However, after waiting for a few minutes without Assistant Luke leaving, there was confusion in Shawn's dark eyes. Assistant Luke said, "In the next period, Lawyer Brown and I will jointly criticize Mr. Tate in our private capacities." Shawn: "..." "Shawn, are you really not cherishing your life?" Jasson was the first to speak, "Being kidnapped is such a serious matter. Instead of thinking about protecting yourself and minimizing the harm, you're hurting yourself. What's going on in your head!" Shawn
By evening, after completing her statement, Ivy walked out of the room. Lilith and Emma were waiting outside. "Are you okay?" The two of them anxiously looked around until they were sure that Ivy was safe before finally letting out a sigh of relief. Ivy shook her head and asked Lilith, "How is he?" "He's fine." Lilith couldn't hide her joy. "Just now, Jasson sent a message saying he has woken up. After he fell into a coma, someone set a trap for DT Investment, exposing his identity to the public and spreading rumors about his time in England. They were trying to short-sell DT Investment. Fortunately, Assistant Luke and Jasson stabilized the situation. Now, we're just waiting for a counterattack." Hearing this news, Ivy's suspended heart finally settled. Looking at her mother's tender gaze, she felt apologetic. "I'm sorry, Mom. Because of Shawn, Grandpa's banquet and the foundation's establishment ceremony were postponed again and again. It's r
Andy and Dom stood at a distance, looking at the mother and daughter with a sense of sentimentality and bitterness. "This Cato has offended me!" Andy fiercely poked the ground with his cane. "Letting my Ivy exhaust herself like this every day. Even if Ivy forgives him in the future, I won't!" With that, he turned around and glared fiercely at Luke, then turned and left. This look almost sent Luke away. He had been with his boss in the business world for so many years, witnessing countless ruthless characters and glares, but he had never been so afraid before. Mr. Tate... is in danger! Just as Luke was afraid, the surgical lights dimmed. Shawn was the first to be pushed out. Ivy, with red eyes, ran to the bedside, looking at him weakly unconscious, feeling heartbroken. Several lead surgeons walked out afterward, taking off their masks. They all looked tired but visibly relieved. "Fortunately, everything is safe. Please r
