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

    After a simple cleanup, Ivy went to the clinic. Due to her illness in the past couple of days, the cooperation with DT Investment had been temporarily handed over to Dr. Ticko and Dr. Jenny.When Ivy arrived at the clinic, an accident victim was being brought into the emergency room."Isn't that the garbage collector--Dona?" one of the nurses exclaimed. Ivy frowned and hurried to the bedside."Possibly a spinal cord injury," she instructed the nurse. She examined the multiple life-threatening wounds on Dona's body, and she was continuously vomiting black blood. "Multiple internal injuries, severe internal trauma. Get her into the operating room quickly.""Yes!" The nurses rushed away, and Ivy added, "Go and fetch Dr. Ticko. The patient's condition is extremely critical. Depending on a single doctor might not be sufficient.""But Dr. Ticko is attending a seminar in the neighboring city today, and Dr. Jenny is representing the clinic at DT Investment. They won't be back for a while."Ma

    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
