After Jasson ended the video call, the meeting at County Clinic fell into an awkward silence.Director Malcom didn't know what to do, Dr. Ticko was filled with resentment, and Jenny couldn't hide her disdain as she rolled her eyes at Ivy.After a long silence, Director Malcom spoke up, "Dr. Jones, take good care of the patient from the surgery. When his condition improves tomorrow, you'll have more persuasive power. By then, let's keep a low profile, and as time goes on, people will naturally forget today's incident.""But, Director..." Jenny pouted prettily, "The noise outside covers everything, but our clinic colleagues...""If they don't agree, they can roll out!" Director Malcom impatiently interrupted her. "Can they bring in important clients and collaborations like Dr. Jones does?""But...""Dr. Jenny!" Director Malcom snapped, "Although you're Dr. Ticko's student, you should remember that you're an intern. When you encounter someone like Dr. Jones, you should treat her with res
Ivy sighed.She had hoped that locking Jessie in the office for self-reflection would lead to some clarity, but she hadn't expected Jessie to be so naive. The pie they promised her to be delicious had already turned moldy, yet she was still savoring it with relish."Do you think that someone who drove you away in the first place would give you a second chance after you had exposed their secrets?" Ivy looked at Jessie's surprised and helpless expression and sneered. "Jessie, I've taken care of you for three years, and if your heart isn't with me, that's not a problem. But you actually sought revenge over an unverified piece of false information. You disregarded the life and death of patients to get back at me. I'm sorry, but I can't protect you any longer. Dr. Ticko has worked diligently at the County Clinic for decades, and both doctors and patients trust him. Yet, you wanted to frame him and drive a wedge between him and me?!"As she finished speaking, Ivy noticed Dr. Ticko and Jenny
Shawn: ‘No, it's just that Cato Alter called me right before I left work and asked me to stay for a while. Don't overthink it. As a way to apologize, I've prepared a gift, and you can help me deliver it.’Ivy: ‘Alright.’Not long after, Shawn's gift was delivered.It was a pot of cactus.She couldn't help but twitch her lips.When Lilith came to pick up Ivy, she saw her staring at the cactus in a daze and burst into laughter. "Is this the gift arranged by Shawn for Kevin Alter? Wow, he's already asserting his status. You're like this cactus, and he's the spines.""If Kevin sees this, he's going to be so angry!"Ivy rolled her eyes at Lilith and messaged Shawn: ‘How could I give this?’Shawn replied: ‘Just say it's from your husband.’Even through the screen, Ivy could sense his sarcasm.Ivy responded: ‘Are you treating him like a fool?’Shawn replied: ‘Kevin Alter, the future heir of the Alter Group, raised in luxury, innocent, kind, honest, and optimistic. Isn't he just untouchable l
Tanya looked at the dishes on the table and calculated, thinking that it wasn't expensive. It was just her one month's salary, which she could afford. Besides, they had already eaten quite a bit, and ordering more dishes wouldn't be too expensive.Spending a month's salary to please Kevin was a worthwhile investment.With this in mind, she quickly adopted a dignified and elegant smile, saying, "I was planning to treat tonight anyway. Enjoy your meal, and I'll take care of it tonight.""Great!" Lilith clapped her hands, then walked to the door and called the waiter."Waiter! More dishes!"Tanya's face turned pale. "Lilith, what are you doing?"Lilith took the menu from the waiter, glanced at it, and said without looking up, "We need some beer for our guest of honor. I'll order some."Tanya secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was just a few bottles of beer; it shouldn't be too expensive.Her pre-set limit was two months' salary, and she still had room to order drinks.Sh
The air was thick with tension. Although Ivy didn't agree with Cato Alter's words, she remained an outsider and didn't want to take sides or comment on their discussion.As she watched the conversation between her classmates transition between financial news and gossip about elite families, she felt increasingly bored. Suddenly, she began to miss her patients at the clinic. She had hoped to get a good night's sleep tonight.The patient who had just undergone surgery would probably be in pain tonight. She wondered if the young nurse had prepared a painkiller for him.However, when she snapped out of her thoughts, she noticed that several male classmates had started smoking and were blowing out clouds of smoke. Ivy despised secondhand smoke and people who smoked, so she decided to check her phone for the time and prepare to leave.At that moment, a message from Shawn appeared.Shawn: ‘Are you getting ready to leave?’Ivy smiled and replied: ‘How did you know I was about to leave?’Shawn
The next day, Shawn arrived at the company early. The assistant reported to him with excitement, "Mr. Tate, everything is ready, and Lawyer Brown is waiting at the Alter Group."As he finished speaking, he opened the video, and the live broadcast of the Alter Group's meeting appeared on the screen. Shareholders of the Alter Group, including Jasson and Bob Alter were all present.Except for Kevin.Seeing that all the shareholders were furious, Shawn asked his assistant, "Is he still at the hotel?""Yes, Mr. Tate. Our people put a little too much in the drugs we gave him last night, and that woman, like she used all her strength that couldn't be depleted, played word games with Kevin for five rounds. In the end, she even knocked him unconscious. Both of them seem to have just woken up.""Is the drug still in effect?""Yes, it is. I specifically asked the seller, and the drug will last for 24 hours. I estimate that by now..."Shawn nodded. "You tell Jasson to open the video.""Got it!"A
"Ivy..." Kevin suddenly grabbed her other hand as if he had gone mad and explained, "You have to believe me, I was framed by someone. I have no connection with Tanya. I..."Ivy suddenly pulled her hand back and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Alter, your relationship with Tanya has nothing to do with me.""Ivy... Please don't be like this," Kevin suddenly blocked the door she was about to close and spoke in a pleading tone. "My father is in a coma and in the hospital. I'm in complete chaos right now, but even so, all I can think about is coming to explain to you, Ivy. You have no idea how much I regret it. If I had tried to save our relationship when you wanted to break up three years ago, we would be together now.""Kevin Alter!" Ivy's blood pressure skyrocketed due to his words. She let go of his hand and opened the office door. Kevin had some space, quickly rushed inside, but Ivy just stood in place, looking at him coldly."Can you be more mature?" She asked in a stern voice. "Your fath
When she woke up again, it was early in the morning of the second day. Her stomach was growling with hunger, and the aroma of food wafted in from outside. Ivy got out of bed and walked to the living room, where she saw Shawn sitting in his wheelchair, busy among various pots and pans in the kitchen. Mr. Luke was standing nearby, looking anxious, and he reached out a few times to offer help, but Shawn glared at him, making him immediately withdraw his hand. "Mr. Luke, come and sit down," Ivy said. She felt that Shawn was being somewhat ungrateful for treating someone who had always helped him like this. "No, no, I can help watch." The personal assistant smiled and replied, "Mr. Tate said he would make porridge for you, and I'm just here to assist." Shawn turned his head back around. "You should rest on the sofa; you'll be better soon." Sweat glistened on his forehead, dripping down to the tip of his nose, shining brightly. He was wearing an apron with Peppa Pig, which his mother h
