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.
Ivy waited until Mr. Luke came to pick up Shawn before setting out for Morningside Café. However, what she didn't know was that Shawn had instructed his assistant to drive there in advance."Has Sanders wait there?""Yes." His assistant already knew what to do and added, "Let Sanders serve as the executive assistant to Mrs. Tate from now on.""Agreed."Shawn accepted his suggestion, and they soon arrived at the café. This time, unlike before, he went straight to the private room upstairs.His assistant had chosen a spot that provided a clear view of the entire first floor, so when Ivy arrived, he saw Sanders raising his head to make eye contact with her.Seeing that Sanders was impeccably dressed in a suit but had a slightly rascally look on his face, Ivy felt something was amiss.After eating for a while, she approached Sanders. "Are you Mr. Cato Alter?""Miss, do you have business with our President?" Sanders responded naturally, as he had received instructions earlier. "Even the DT
Assuming Shawn's company's coffee wasn't doing a good job in keeping him awake, Ivy took a quick look at food delivery options. She noticed that Starbucks coffee was on sale, offering two large cups of iced Americano with free delivery. She placed an order and entered Shawn's company address while also sharing the contact details of Luke, the assistant.After completing the order, she sent Shawn a screenshot of the purchase and an additional message: "I ordered two cups of coffee for you, one for you and one for Mr. Luke. Maybe this will help you wake up better than the coffee at your company."Starbucks coffee may be slightly on the expensive side. She usually only ordered it when she was extremely fatigued. The bitterness of Starbucks coffee was what made it the ideal choice for awakening one's senses, at least from her perspective. It should work well for Shawn too, shouldn't it?Will Shawn be happy about this? Shouldn't he be delighted? Well, he should be, right?!"After some mome
"Dr. Jones, something's wrong, something's wrong," Jessie suddenly rushed out of the hospital room, her face pale. "Max, who had surgery the day before yesterday, has suddenly developed a severe infection. The wound is seriously ulcerated, and he has a high fever now."Ivy was taken aback and quickly ran towards Max's room."Max's surgery was very successful, and his clinical condition was fine last night. How could it suddenly worsen?"While running, Ivy questioned Jessie, but she just shook her head, unable to explain.Just when she was extremely anxious, Max's mother suddenly emerged from the corner and grabbed Ivy by the neck, angrily accusing her, "Ivy, what have you done to Max? He's dying!"The security guards quickly pulled Max's mother away, and Ivy calmly entered the hospital room."Where is Max?" Ivy quickly asked Jessie."He has been rushed to the operating room for emergency treatment. Dr. Ticko is trying to save him. Dr. Ticko says we must perform surgery as soon as poss
Ivy, urged by the nurses, quickly entered the operating room to examine the patient.Before long, the lights in the operating room were turned on, and Dr. Ticko and Jenny left in frustration. The patient's family members left the view of the live broadcast and went to a corner.One of them called Jasson, "Lawyer Brown, Dr. Jones has gone in."On the other end of the phone, Jasson was lounging on the sofa in Shawn's office, nibbling on a small apple, his legs crossed casually."They didn't notice anything, did they?""No, right now, because of the media presence, everyone is too busy to question why I insisted on having Dr. Jones treat the patient."The family member paused and asked tentatively, "Lawyer Brown, is Dr. Jones really an authority in the field of orthopedics? She looks about 27 years old.""Don't worry, I've been treated by her, and her medical skills are top-notch."Satisfied, the family member hung up the phone.Jasson tossed his phone to Shawn, who caught it accurately.
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
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
