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
After composing herself, Ivy said to Bob Alter, "Chairman Alter, Mr. Kevin Alter was momentarily confused. He will be fine in some time. I will go back and convey your message to Director Malcom to send another person to coordinate with you.""No need!" Bob Alter waved his hand dismissively. "Tell your Director Malcom not to daydream!""Very well, understood," Ivy maintained her composure, "I won't disturb your meeting then. Goodbye."As she left the meeting room, she could hear Bob's scolding from inside, but unexpectedly, Kevin retorted back at him."Dad! Ivy is such a wonderful person. Why haven't you accepted her yet?!"He had improved a bit from before, but it didn't matter.Upon her return to the clinic, Ivy reported Bob's decision to Director Malcom. The entire team of doctors in the clinic seemed deflated and lacked their usual enthusiasm.Dr. Ticko remained persistent. "Director Malcom, how about I give it another try? My daughter--Tanya, was classmates with Kevin at universi
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
