Dr. Ticko's words cast a deeper silence over the office.Memories of the past three years resurfaced in Ivy's mind, and she clutched the report tightly in her hand, her heart wracked with pain.When she was still in college, Ivy was an outstanding student at the City A Medical College, even before graduating, thanks to her exceptional performance. Her mentor, Professor Smith, had used his influence to secure her admission to the prestigious City A First Hospital.The year she graduated, she became the hospital's youngest attending physician.Her remarkable achievements in college and her career had boosted her self-confidence. She remembered clearly that Shane was just ten years old at that time.When he was five, his legs were crushed under a three-ton cargo truck, and steel rods were deeply embedded in his thighs. By the time he reached the hospital, he had been in a wheelchair for five years, becoming a patient that none of the hospital's doctors dared to touch.Other senior doctor
Ivy always felt like these past few days, there were insinuations in the air.But these are other people's affairs, unrelated to her.Moreover, soon enough, Ivy's attention was once again diverted by the clinic's matters.One afternoon, Jenny angrily burst into the room."Dr. Jones, what do you mean?!" She threw a thick file in front of Ivy and continued, "Did you secretly manipulate something? As soon as Mr. Cato Alter's subordinates see Dr. Ticko, they humiliate him in every possible way and insist on you being the project leader?"Ivy was in the middle of a follow-up consultation with a patient when she was suddenly interrupted by Jenny. She frowned in displeasure, saying, "Dr. Jenny, didn't your mentor teach you that you should knock on someone's office door before entering?"She was usually quite cool and composed, but her sudden stern expression even drew the attention of the patients in the room, not to mention Jenny, who knew her well.Jenny fell silent for a moment and stubbo
In the dark night, Shawn opened his eyes and silently looked at the woman beside him, lost in thought.The next day, Ivy arrived early at the office.After receiving guidance from Shawn, Ivy quickly completed the project proposal and submitted it to Director Malcom."Not bad, Dr. Jones. You finished the project proposal in just one night! Love is indeed the greatest human motivator!" Director Malcom praised.Ivy's lips twitched.She preferred dealing with patients, okay?!"Quickly send the electronic version of this proposal and see what DT Investments have to say," Director Malcom instructed."Director, Dr. Ticko..."Dr. Ticko, who was standing nearby, gritted his teeth in secret but still couldn't help but suggest, "Dr. Jones doesn't have experience in this field. Maybe we should all review it together. If there's any offensive language or terminology, it could offend Mr. Cato Alter...""Yes, Director Malcom, Dr. Ticko is a genius in this field. Perhaps, considering the proposal we
Max had originally wanted to hold Dr. Jones’ arm as usual, but when his mother yelled like that, he was immediately frightened and withdrew his hand.Ivy, puzzled, asked Max's mother, “What's wrong?”Max's mother, with a disgusted expression, asked Jessie, who was standing behind Ivy, “You come over; I don't want someone like Ivy, a whore, treating my son.”Ivy frowned.Max's mother was usually quite friendly, so why did she suddenly call her a whore?She nodded to Jessie, indicating that she should check Max's condition. Then, Ivy asked, Max's mother, is there some misunderstanding here?'“I have a misunderstanding?” Max's mother sneered. “You, a woman who destroys other people's families, I can't be bothered to talk to you.”After saying this, Max's mother pushed Ivy out of the hospital room. She was incredibly strong, and the other nurses just watched, not offering any help, and they saw Ivy being locked outside the room.Ivy was completely bewildered by this sudden behavior.Out o
Meanwhile, at DT Investment's office, Shawn, who had listened to Ivy's threatening conversation with the nurse, couldn't help but twitch his lips.This woman certainly knows how to throw her weight around.And where did she get the idea that he's perverse and that he admires her?Shawn was filled with questions, but as he heard Ivy and Maya's conversation strategy, he had a pretty good guess about what she intended to do. He believed that there would be good news before the end of the day.With this in mind, he disconnected the call himself and had his assistant push him to the next meeting.Back in Director Malcom's office, Ivy closed the door and took out a project proposal she had modified to engage in an immersive discussion with Director Malcom.However, Director Malcom was preoccupied, covering Ivy's notebook with his hand. "Dr. Jones, they've tarnished our reputation out there, and you still have the heart to look at this?"Without raising her head, Ivy opened her computer and
Ivy returned home and mentioned the clinic's Employee Care Day, "Mom, Shawn, you can come over tomorrow at noon. There will be fewer people at that time, which will be more convenient."Emma considered it and replied, "That makes sense. Even though your clinic has only a few employees, if all their family members come, it will still be quite crowded, and there will be reporters taking photos. We need to avoid any mishaps. I'll bring Shawn over around the same time."Ivy looked at Shawn and said, "Shawn, please bring Mr. Luke with you. He's helped us a lot, and there's no better way to show our appreciation than inviting him for this small check-up."Shawn's dark eyes lit up, "He will be very grateful to you. I'll call him shortly, and if it's okay with him, I'll have him take mom and me there.""Great!"After discussing their plans, the three of them went about their business. Shawn pretended to water the plants on the balcony as Ivy worked in the living room.Shawn turned back to see
Seeing that things were getting out of hand, the clinic's director, who was being interviewed in the office, rushed out. Behind him, Dr. Ticko made a half-raised hand gesture in an attempt to intercept the reporters but was quickly overwhelmed as they swarmed him, creating chaos.Harry saw that the reporters were there and attempted to use the power of public opinion to pressure Ivy. "Look, everyone, look at this. This is Ivy Rosalia Jones, my daughter. I've raised her for over twenty years. And what does she do to me? Last night, she called home and said I and the relatives from Jones's family don't need to wait in line for check-ups. But now she's denying it. Do you think that's fair?""When did I call you?" Ivy spoke coldly, her gaze piercing and cold, making Harry inexplicably nervous."You didn't personally call me, but your colleague did, and he said that you would arrange it for sure! Now you're denying it. I brought so many elders from the village, so where should I put my old
On the other side, inside the ordinary clinic, Ivy took her mother to the office to rest. She carefully examined her mother's condition and, once assured she was fine, finally relaxed.Emma shook her head with a smile. "I've told you, I am fine. It's you who's in trouble because of your dad. What if this ends up in the news tomorrow?"Thinking about it, Emma's slightly relaxed brows furrowed again. "I keep causing trouble for you.""Mom, it's not your fault. They are being unreasonable. Don't worry, I'll handle this." Ivy gently patted her mother's back, and Emma's worries gradually subsided."You don't need to stay here with me. Go out and see if there's anything you can help with." She urged her daughter to leave.Seeing her mother in better spirits, Ivy thought for a moment and left the office.Things must be in chaos outside now, and Director Malcom is likely feeling overwhelmed. She had to go and make amends.Sure enough, as soon as Ivy returned to the emergency hall, she saw Dr.
