Upon hearing this, Tanya's face turned as pale as paper, and she collapsed into a chair, her thoughts in disarray.After a moment, she suddenly squatted down, grabbed the wrist of the waitress, and shook it while scolding her, "If you have a fracture, why pretend to be so dramatic? Why not just honestly express the pain?"She attempted to shift the blame onto the waitress, trying to salvage her own reputation.Ivy slapped away her hand, saying coldly, "A patient with a fracture should not make extensive movements or be forcibly moved. Don't you, as a doctor, know that?"Tanya stuttered, "I..."Professor Smith, standing nearby, waved his hand, signaling her to step aside. "Move away, don't hinder the treatment.""Sorry, everyone. I had an emergency, and that's why I'm late."Kevin had just entered the private room and saw the chaotic scene. His expression changed, and he quickly realized what had happened. He approached Ivy from behind and softly asked, "Let me help."Without even lift
The manager smiled and instructed the staff behind to set the wine glasses and fine wine on the table. "Mr. Tate also said that you should all have a great time. Your class reunion tonight is on the house!"Ivy was dumbfounded."Which Mr. Tate is it?" a curious classmate asked the hotel manager.The manager who was actually not aware of who Mr. Tate was, was following instructions from Luke, the executive assistant of Cato Alter. So it was clear that Mr. Tate held a significant position.Thinking of this, the manager smiled and explained, "He's Mr. Tate from DT Investment Group."The atmosphere in the private room suddenly became ambiguous, and people exchanged glances, speculating that Ivy had struck it lucky and married into a wealthy family."Ivy, this is incredible. You're a rich lady now! Aren't you being too low-key?" one classmate exclaimed in surprise."Ivy was very low-key in college. She didn't even want to vie for the title of campus beauty. If she were more high-profile, T
‘Was there a possibility that I'm really a wealthy man?’ Shawn sighed, feeling both irritated and frustrated. ‘Why couldn't this woman understand gratitude?’Although Shawn didn't respond, his heavy and exasperated breathing made it clear that he was quite displeased at the moment.Even Ivy, despite her dense and stiff nature, could sense his annoyance.In fact, she realized he might not be entirely at fault. It was possible that she had been too serious and her tone too harsh.Marriage often brought together two individuals with differing personalities. Maintaining open and timely communication was essential for the long-term success of the marriage.After some introspection, Ivy concluded that perhaps she had been too hard on him. After all, his legs were still in a wheelchair.As guilt began to well up inside her, she knew she needed to say something to console him.However, when she opened her mouth to speak, she ended up saying something entirely different, "Mom made a healthy fo
In order to help her mother escape the ordeal as soon as possible, she arranged a meeting with Harry with the accompaniment of her lawyer.Ivy always felt that she and Harry were strangers who shared the same blood. She didn't want to have too much involvement with him. But on the day of the meeting, Harry brought Amara and a distant relative from the rural area, Uncle John, who was also the village chief in the village. He was a person of great authority in the village, and whenever there was a divorce case, he acted as a mediator, with an efficiency rivaling that of the Women's Federation.Grandpa Jones and Grandma Jones were reluctant to give up the monthly income of ten thousand dollars, so they offered Uncle John some benefits to come and mediate.As they had just sat down in the coffee shop, Uncle John started trying to persuade Ivy."Ivy, when a family quarrels, it's a waste of everyone's energy. Your mom married your dad for so many years, and she only gave birth to you, an on
"I'm coming over now," Ivy said as she hung up on Shawn and put her phone away. Her gaze fell upon the lawyer in front of her, who was letting out pig-like screams of pain. "Oh, it hurts so much!" Jasson wailed, while secretly sizing up Ivy with a corner of his eye. Top-notch looks, posture, and figure, but a facial expression that was incredibly unpleasant. "Does Doctor Jones usually never smile?" he whispered to Ivy's intern, Jessie. Jessie had been focused on cleaning Jasson's wound, but when this incredibly handsome and effeminate lawyer approached, her face turned as red as blood, and her hands began to tremble uncontrollably. A noble international lawyer, even his perfume exuded the charm of a mature man. Jessie took a deep breath, unable to resist being captivated by Jasson's charm. "Hey, I'm asking you a question," Jasson prodded when Jessie remained silent. Jessie finally collected herself and whispered, "Lawyer Brown, Dr. Jones is a very serious and dedicated doctor, a
When she is home, Ivy spent an hour in the cold shower. After she finished, she walked into the living room and saw that Shawn was still sitting by the balcony, lost in thought, and he refused to return to the room to rest. For some reason, she felt a hint of loneliness in his silhouette. Shawn... must be very lonely, she thought. Although Ivy didn't understand Shawn well, sometimes, when she heard Grandma Winston talk about him, she could sense his sensitivity and loneliness. Grabndma Winston had said that Shawn completed his education alone. At that time, Ivy didn't know why Shawn had grown up in isolation. But it wasn't until she saw his legs on the day of their blind date that she guessed he had attended a school for the disabled. The people there all had varying degrees of physical disabilities, as normal people typically didn't want to be friends with them. Grandma Winston also said that Shawn was very afraid of her leaving because he only had his grandmother as a family. Wh
Shawn thought he must have heard wrong, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Why are you talking nonsense here?" "You... you're being unfilial!" "He killed my mother, and turned me into this. Has he apologized to me?" Shawn retorted, disdainfully eyeing Kevin. "Otherwise, since a son should repay his father's debts, are you willing to kneel down and apologize to me?" Kevin was angered by his condescending attitude, and his expression turned cold. "Shawn, just because you're the eldest son of the Alter family, it doesn't mean you can do whatever you want. If it weren't for your interference, could Alter Group and H Capital have torn their faces apart?" "Torn their faces apart?" Shawn raised an eyebrow, casting a look that said, "You're an idiot." "H Capital has had a strong presence in City H for decades, and they've maintained a good reputation. If they can cooperate, everyone is happy. If they can't, they've never openly clashed with others. How did I manage to upset the Alter family s
After Director Malcom listened to Ivy's words, he fell silent for a while. It's not that he doesn't believe in Dr. Ticko, but the image of Dr. Ticko doesn't match this collaboration. He believes in Dr. Ticko's medical skills but doesn't trust his working methods. In this day and age, there are doctors who don't use computers and rely on the most primitive paper. He examines patients and records their conditions with a pen, writing every word. He doesn't use a computer, and later Jenny has to painstakingly enter everything into the computer, connecting it to the national network. If it weren't for the fact that Dr. Ticko followed him from a young age and helped him establish his position, Director Malcom would really like to make him retire early; it's too embarrassing. Even in the poorest county clinic, he should keep up with the times, right?! Thinking of this, Director Malcom looked at Dr. Ticko, who wore heavy, thick-framed sunglasses and had a traditional appearance, and sighe
