"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
In the dark night, Shawn opened his eyes and silently looked at the woman beside him, lost in thought.The next day, Ivy arrived early at the office.After receiving guidance from Shawn, Ivy quickly completed the project proposal and submitted it to Director Malcom."Not bad, Dr. Jones. You finished the project proposal in just one night! Love is indeed the greatest human motivator!" Director Malcom praised.Ivy's lips twitched.She preferred dealing with patients, okay?!"Quickly send the electronic version of this proposal and see what DT Investments have to say," Director Malcom instructed."Director, Dr. Ticko..."Dr. Ticko, who was standing nearby, gritted his teeth in secret but still couldn't help but suggest, "Dr. Jones doesn't have experience in this field. Maybe we should all review it together. If there's any offensive language or terminology, it could offend Mr. Cato Alter...""Yes, Director Malcom, Dr. Ticko is a genius in this field. Perhaps, considering the proposal we
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
