Meanwhile, at DT Investment's office, Shawn, who had listened to Ivy's threatening conversation with the nurse, couldn't help but twitch his lips.This woman certainly knows how to throw her weight around.And where did she get the idea that he's perverse and that he admires her?Shawn was filled with questions, but as he heard Ivy and Maya's conversation strategy, he had a pretty good guess about what she intended to do. He believed that there would be good news before the end of the day.With this in mind, he disconnected the call himself and had his assistant push him to the next meeting.Back in Director Malcom's office, Ivy closed the door and took out a project proposal she had modified to engage in an immersive discussion with Director Malcom.However, Director Malcom was preoccupied, covering Ivy's notebook with his hand. "Dr. Jones, they've tarnished our reputation out there, and you still have the heart to look at this?"Without raising her head, Ivy opened her computer and
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.
