Ivy followed the nurse to the meeting room and asked, "You can't find Dr. Ticko, even Dr. Jenny?""No, we can't find them anywhere. Dr. Jones, please hurry, the city leaders are getting angry."Hearing the nurse's words, Ivy was taken aback. She quickened her pace and soon arrived at the VIP lounge. Director Malcom was pacing back and forth at the entrance, his forehead covered in sweat.Seeing Ivy, he pulled her into the lounge urgently and said, "Don't say anything, just go in and handle it."Ivy replied hesitantly, "..."With no choice, she was pushed into the lounge and could only apologize, "I'm sorry, leaders. Just now, a patient suddenly collapsed in the inpatient department, and I was busy with their treatment, which delayed your valuable time."The chief of the City Health Commission, Director White, upon hearing that she was late due to attending to a patient in need of emergency care, immediately calmed down, "It's alright. The patient's health is more important.""Thank yo
Tanya's face turned ashen, and she almost collapsed into her chair. She leaned on the table and muttered to herself, "It's just a little scandal, it's okay, it won't affect anything.""No, it's not." The assistant anxiously whispered into her ear, "There's also the matter of Dr. Ticko's previous actions, where he instigated the intern Jessie, to harm a patient. All the recordings have been exposed!""What?!" Tanya fell into her chair, unable to react for a moment.Out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly caught sight of Ivy on the opposite side, who was smiling with a hint of mockery in her eyes. Her hands clenched tightly.It must be Ivy!It must be Ivy behind all this!Thinking of this, she glared at Ivy, who didn't show any fear and met her mocking gaze head-on.Even if she exposed the evidence to the reporters, so what?Dr. Ticko, who was nothing but a hindrance to the development of County Clinic, had to be eliminated entirely!Could Tanya bite back?Ivy was right; not only cou
Although she sympathized with Cato Alter’s past, she had reservations about his rapid rise to power. Despite her limited interaction with Shawn, she sensed his unexplained trust in Cato Alter.Ivy firmly believed that people in the workplace shouldn't become friends. Whoever treats the other as a friend often becomes the one who gets used and discarded."Just consider it my bias," she said lightly. She decided not to express her concerns openly. “Shawn, we're just ordinary people. The world of the upper class is not where we should be climbing. I just want to take care of my mother and our grandmother and live a good life."Seeing that Ivy was unyielding at the moment, Shawn could only agree gently, "Alright, I'll go along with your decisions."Although he felt like he was shooting himself in the foot, he knew that rushing into making Ivy like Cato Alter was unwise. It required careful consideration and couldn't be forced."When will you be back?" Ivy's question brought his attention
Shortly after Shawn received Ivy's message, his personal assistant checked Roland's background.In less than half an hour, the assistant entered the office, panting."Mr. Tate, Roland Gutierrez is your wife's senior."Shawn glanced at his assistant. "Who asked you to check?"The assistant was at a loss for words. Shawn had just shown him the chat records a moment ago. He was confident that Mr. Tate had asked him to investigate Roland.With this in mind, Luke apologized, "I'm sorry. Mr. Tate. Then, I'll go handle some business.""Continue speaking," a low, commanding voice came from behind. Luke’s furrowed brows immediately relaxed.He knew it.The assistant continued, "They had the same mentor at the time. He was known as the 'chubby Roland' back then... He is Director Malcom's brother-in-law..."He described the events leading up to Roland's resignation and the subsequent incidents. However, Shawn tapped his desk repeatedly, murmuring under his breath, "Chubby Roland..."The assistan
"Mr. Luke, please, come in. I'll make some late-night snacks for you both," Ivy said as she pushed Shawn inside."Alright!" Luke enthusiastically agreed, but as soon as he saw Shawn's expression, he quickly changed his tune. "No need, I need to go. My girlfriend is waiting for me at home, and you two are busy. I'll take my leave."Before he could finish his sentence, he had already bolted out the door."He's such a strange guy," Ivy muttered as she pushed Shawn into the dining room. "Rest for a moment, and I'll make you some food. What would you like to eat?""No, it's not necessary," Shawn instinctively refused. Did she want to feed him instant noodles again? No, thank you."Ah, I see. Well, it's pretty late, and eating too much at this hour isn't good for your health. I'll make some blanched greens for you instead." Shawn cleared his throat and quickly amended his response.Ivy glanced at the clock on the wall and noticed that it was already 11 PM. She realized that it wasn't a good
Fearing that the assistant might have hurt him, Shawn's dark eyes lifted with a hint of mockery and pity. "You're not the only one who dislikes me, but in the end, I married her.""You!" Roland was so infuriated that he was about to roll up his sleeves and strike Shawn, but the assistant swiftly intervened."Good dogs don't get in the way!" Roland cursed.The assistant ignored him and continued, "Dr. Roland, I'm doing you a favor here. If you had really attacked him earlier, your hands would probably be crippled by now."After his words, he pushed Roland heavily, and the latter slammed into the wall. Overwhelmed with pain and discomfort, Roland clutched his mouth and began to cough uncontrollably.However, his strong dislike for Shawn was not easy to dissipate."Shawn, I don't care how you sweet-talked Ivy into marrying you, but I can bet that you're not even good enough to shine her shoes! You'd better swear that your legs can stand, and you'll survive the surgery's three stages. Oth
Maya, seeing that it was Ivy, immediately responded, "Doctor Jones, your father and a group of people from his village are causing trouble."Her tone carried a mix of disdain and contempt for Ivy.The staff at the County Clinic viewed Ivy, an up-and-coming doctor with great potential, as an annoyance. They were already dealing with numerous patients every day, and now they had to deal with the unsophisticated folks from Harry’s village, who were making a scene.Maya felt this situation was unfortunate.She explained, "Doctor Jones, Zedd has dislocated his shoulder. He was brought in by Harry and the people from his village. Nurse Zaya tried to follow the standard procedures, but Harry thought it was too slow and slapped her in the face. Now, they are causing a scene, demanding expedited treatment."Maya had just finished speaking when Harry's curses could be heard, "My Zedd, is the sole heir of the Jones family. If any harm comes to him due to your incompetence, I'll dig up your ances
Ivy picked up her phone and called the police directly. "Relatives of patients at County Clinic are causing a disturbance, insulting medical staff, refusing to pay medical bills, and their behavior is extremely bad. Please come and mediate."Upon seeing Ivy calling the police, Harry rushed over to her, snatched her phone, and threw it forcefully onto the ground, shattering it into pieces.Ivy didn't get angry and indicated to him to look at the camera on the wall. She said in a calm voice, "I'll make you pay for my phone as well.""Ivy!" Harry glared at her, anger evident in his bulging eyes, and his face became even redder. He raised his hand several times, seemingly wanting to strike her. But the presence of the camera warned him that if he continued, he wouldn't just face a reprimand from the police. It might be difficult to get out in less than ten days or more.Thinking about this, Harry reluctantly lowered his hand.At this point, Grandpa and Grandma Jones suddenly threw themsel
