Now, as she stared into Chandler’s sincere eyes and listened to what he had to say, she felt that she had been overthinking things.

He seemed to still be that naive boy from the past.

“Can you play that recording for us?”

Elijah stood and pulled the clinic’s doors and curtains shut. The clinic became completely shut off from the world.

When he was done, he walked over slowly to Chandler. “There’s only the three of us here now.”

Chandler was still hesitant.

Sally pursed her lips. She knew what Elijah meant.

Thus, the woman calmed down her emotions and gazed at the man before her. “Chandler, here’s why.”

“I’m certain that I never phoned you, but you’re convinced that you received a call from me, and you even recorded the conversation.”

“I would also like to listen to what the recording sounds like.”

“Perhaps that would clear my confusion.”

After staring into Sally’s sincere gaze, Chandler hesitated for one last second before he sighed and turned into the side room.

    “There’s no other explanation besides this.” Elijah frowned and glanced at Sally. “Do you have any enemies or people you can’t get along with at the hospital?” Sally was still in shock after listening to the recording. She only came back to her senses after Elijah repeated his question. For the past few years, she had had… quite a good reputation at the hospital. Although she did not treat everyone with as much enthusiasm now as she would have years ago, her superb skills and easy-going attitude attracted the likings of her colleagues in the hospital. She frowned as she sat deep in thought, but she could not think of any person she might have offended to the point they needed to get revenge against her in this way. “Dr. Summers is not arrogant. She might have superb skills, but she’s never been conceited. I don’t think there’s anyone who would want to frame her.” Chandler sighed and leaned his thin figure against the door. “Assistant Director Landt even said that Dr. Su

    “If we can’t make any progress in terms of motive, we might as well begin with this recording.” “Not any random person would have been able to imitate Sally’s voice with such accuracy in a short time. It must have been a professional voice actor.” Chandler clapped a hand to his forehead. “Of course.” He gave Elijah a thumbs-up. “Smart.” Elijah smiled and picked his broad figure off from the couch. “Sal and I will be going back now. Call us if you need us.” Then, Elijah turned and walked slowly over to Sally, where he extended his hand. “We’ve interrupted him for long enough. It’s time to go home.” Sally was still in shock after finding out so much today. Thus, when Elijah extended his hand in front of her, she did not even think before she reached instinctively for it. The man’s palm lay on hers. The warm feeling jolted her back to her senses. It was only then that she realized that she had taken hold of Elijah’s hand… Her face turned red as she tried to retrieve he

    Both the red and black car sped down the road. Two hours later, the cars pulled into Gunter City. Even though she was on leave, Sally could not stop thinking about her patients. The minute they reached Gunter City, she turned and drove toward the hospital. Elijah drove Chandler to the police station. Christine’s hair was messy, and she had an indignant expression on her face when the cops brought her out. “I’m telling you, none of you even try to stop me. I’ll show you that woman’s true colors…” She spoke as the cops brought her out. Chandler stood in the corridor and stared at her helplessly, his arms across his chest. “What if I try to stop you?” The man’s voice was as clear as a babbling mountain brook. Christine was stunned for a few solid seconds. Then, she snapped her head upwards towards the direction of the voice. The girl’s eyes widened. “Bro Chandler!?” She broke free of the cop’s grasp and ran excitedly toward Chandler. Her arms opened up as she ran

    Christine’s brain was muddled. What was that man doing here? Why had he arrived with Bro Chandler? The girl rushed over and stood between Elijah and Chandler? “Did you threaten Bro Chandler?” Why else would he keep praising Sally Summers? As she thought of that, Christine gritted her teeth and raised her gaze to stare stubbornly at Elijah. “I’ll have you know that Bro Chandler had nothing to do with me making a fuss during class. It was all me!” “Come at me if you have the guts!” Elijah gazed at the girl before him with interest. “You probably don’t know that the last person who dared speak like that to me was thrown to the sharks.” The man took a lighter out of his pocket to fiddle with elegantly. “I don’t think you’ll be able to stand my guts.” Chandler frowned and pulled Christine away. “What are you doing?”“Mr. Moses is my friend!” “Friend?” Christine raised an eyebrow. “Since when were you friends with people like him?”“I’ll tell you, he…” Chandler frow

    “Charlotte Cook?”Chandler’s eyebrows drew together tightly.He knew this Charlotte.Charlotte Cook was Assistant Director Landt’s niece. She was the same age as Christine. When Christine had first come to Gunter City to study, Assistant Director Landt had even especially gotten Charlotte to pick Christine up at the bus stop, adding that peers of the same age could take care of each other.Christine pressed her lips together. Upon realizing that her impulsiveness had once again caused information to slip out, she decided not to hide anything anymore.“It was Charlotte.“Charlotte told me you weren’t doing well now because of a medical malpractice case back then.“She even said that although you admitted that you did it, she still felt that someone with such good conduct as you wouldn’t do something like this. Therefore, there had to be more to this matter.”Chandler took a few steps back, his voice trembling slightly. “So, you came back to town to get me drunk, then took advant

    “That’s great!“Although Bro Chandler opened a small clinic in the countryside two years ago, he’s actually been secretly looking at academic journals online all this time!“I know his heart still wants to be a good cardiac surgeon!”The girl’s voice was frantic. One could tell that she really hoped Chandler could build himself back up again.Elijah glanced at her coldly. “Not scared of me anymore?”Christine jolted slightly, her face reddening at onceShe hastily released Elijah’s hand. “I…“I know my attitude just now wasn’t great.“But, Mr. Moses, if you really can help Bro Chandler overturn his case, I will even kneel on the ground in apology!”After saying this, the girl hastily got on her knees, acting like she was about to kneel.“Christy!”Chandler hurriedly pulled her back up. He raised his head to glance at Elijah a little apologetically. “Mr. Moses, just forget it.“What happened back then in the past is in the past.“It’s fine if you just take good care of Dr.

    Elijah smiled mildly.The man lifted his eyes to glance lightly at the woman before him. “You’re praising my attention to detail?”Sally was startled slightly.A moment later, she turned her slightly reddened face away. “Guess so.”Maybe he did pay attention to detail, or maybe she was absorbed in her studies and could not think of too many possibilities.In any case, when she heard that recording for the first time today in Chandler’s clinic, her entire mind went blank.She knew that this voice was definitely not hers.Yet it made such a similar sound, used such a similar tone.She had no idea how to defend herself.If Chandler had really taken out this recording two years ago, and she did not have Elijah by her side, what would have happened to her?Thinking of this, Sally’s heart warmed a little.It was good that he was here.It was good that she had him.Otherwise…She really would have found it impossible to dismiss the suspicion.Releasing a deep breath, the woman

    “Elijah, whatever happened between us ended long ago!“You’re my neighbor now, and you’ve helped me out a lot. I just… just think of you as a friend!“Don’t think too much!”The man smiled mildly, his gaze playful as he looked at her. “I’m thinking too much?”He put his fork down and wiped his mouth lightly, then he stood up and slowly moved closer to her. “Am I thinking too much, or is your imagination just too rich?“I said you should know what I want, but what did you think of, Dr. Summers?”Sally gritted her teeth, then moved back subconsciously.What had she thought of?His implications were so obvious, how could she not think of…Moreover, after reuniting with him, he had previously… tried to do it in the hospital lounge.This man had no limits!She nervously backtracked, moving back again…Finally—With a thump, Sally fell off the couch entirely, landing on the soft carpet.“Stupid.”The man gave a throaty laugh. He got up to pull her up from the carpet.Sally sl

    ————One year later. The wedding of Zoey Williams, president of Yoder Corporation, and Thomas Yoder, the young master of the Moses family, was held at A City’s grandest hotel. On the wedding day, Zoey wore a gorgeous wedding gown as she walked over to Thomas. She raised her head and smiled at him. “When I was a kid, Freya always said that I would have to marry her brother when I grew up.” “However, I realized that I did not like Elijah. I much preferred Sis Sally.” “Who would have thought that at the end of the day, I would still end up marrying Freya’s younger brother. As per her wishes, I’ll be taking care of her brother forever, and allowing her brother to care for me for the rest of my life.” Thomas smiled as he pulled her into his arms. “My beloved ZZ, I finally get to marry you.” Freya, carrying Frigg and sitting with the rest of the family, turned to exchange smiles with Bennett. The wedding was joyful and romantic. Everyone attending basked in the loving atmosp

    “If you destroy everything I have, then I’ll destroy everything you have!” Queenie gritted her teeth, a hideous expression on her face as she glared at Sally and said, “If it weren’t for you, I would still be the high-and-mighty young lady of the Tate family!” “It’s all because of you that I became nearly a stand-in for you. I’ve enjoyed many years of lavish treatment at the lavish family, but I was discarded unceremoniously into the dust!” “Sally Summers, it’s all your fault! Everything is because of you!” “I won’t forgive you even if I become a ghost!” “Alright then, go be a ghost!” Elijah narrowed his eyes and raised a hand to grip Queenie’s chin. The hatred in his eyes caused Queenie to smile. “Elijah Moses, choke me to death if you have the guts to do so!” “If you can’t choke me to death, I have multiple ways to make life miserable for you!” “Your sister is just one part of my plan!” “You probably don’t know this yet.” Her lips curled upwards into a bloodthir

    The woman lying in bed frowned and said in a weak, hoarse voice, “You are…” “I’m the woman who did it for a long time with your husband.” She sat down on a nearby chair and watched gleefully as the woman’s face turned increasingly paler. “You have a pretty bad memory, Mrs. Lucca.” “We just met the other day.” She shook her head as she spoke. “It makes sense, though. It’s only normal that a half-dead person would not have a great memory.” “Forgive me for being blunt, Mrs. Lucca. President Lucca told me that you don’t have many days left.” “When you’re gone, he’s going to leave his daughter and marry me.” The woman lying in bed turned pale as she shook her head and said, “Impossible… That’s impossible…” “Quincy, he…” “Nothing is impossible.” Queenie continued smiling a gleeful and flaunting smile. She threw her pregnancy test strip onto the woman’s face. “Look, I’m pregnant.” “How could I have gotten pregnant if we only did it one time? Such coincidences don’t exi

    “In your dreams!” Quincy gritted his teeth together tightly. “I wouldn’t want you even if every other woman on the planet was dead!” The woman on the other end of the line laughed lightly. “You’re going to abandon your child because Freya Moses is dead?” “You planted your seed in my stomach.” Quincy gritted his teeth and was about to continue arguing when Elijah gave him a look. Quincy pursed his lips. “So, what do you want?” “Let’s meet up.” Queenie yawned. “Can you pick a place?” “There’s a cafe nearby the hospital.” Quincy sighed. “I don’t have much time for you, so don’t try talking nonsense after we meet.”“What a man you are, trying to ghost someone after you’ve slept with them.” The woman shrugged nonchalantly. “Alright. You can wait for me. I’ll be there soon.” She hung up. Quincy pursed his lips and looked up at Elijah. “Why do you want me to meet her?” “You’ve got to have some bait if you want to trap someone.” “This time, Quincy, you’re the bait.

    The sharp end of the knife sank into Quincy’s skin. Intense pain came, but he did not seem to feel a thing as he continued pushing. Suddenly, a large, strong, and dry hand took hold of him. Quincy frowned as he tried to continue forcing the knife in, but he could not exert any more strength. Elijah’s cold voice rang beside his ear. “Do you feel like my sister will live on for much longer if you die before her eyes?” “Have you ever thought about how much she likes you and how important you are to her?” Stunned, Quincy turned instinctively to look at Freya. The woman was sobbing controllably. As she gazed tearfully at him, it seemed that she had multiple things she wanted to say but could not find the words. Tears flowed once more from Quincy’s eyes. Ignoring the blood flowing from his chest, he dashed over to Freya and held her tightly. “It’s my fault.” “It’s all my fault!” “Freya… I can’t live without you.” “I cannot… I…” Freya could not stop herself from wr

    After Freya was hospitalized, Quincy canceled all his work plans and spent all his time in the hospital watching over her. Although she never let him in, and although he could only ever gaze at her through the window from afar. However, he insisted on not taking even a step away from her ward. He stood guard there stubbornly, and no one could talk any sense into him. Both Elijah and Thomas could not bring themselves to chide or drive Quincy away when he acted this way. And thus, Freya finally agreed to meet him on the seventh day. The woman’s face in the ward was pale, and she was considerably thinner than from before hospitalization. She looked extremely haggard. Tears welled in Quincy’s eyes when he saw what his beloved looked like from a close distance. It was all his fault. It was all his fault! He had caused her to end up this way! All because of him!“Is there anything you would like to say?” Freya leaned against her pillows. Eyes shut, she seemed to have

    Sally’s lips pursed themselves together when Freya’s name was mentioned. She would admit that she had had a horrible first impression of Freya when they first met. The woman had stripped nearly twenty years of Zoey’s life away from her. Even now, Zoey still bore the scars she had inflicted upon her on her face. And she had even attacked Sally’s mother during her and Elijah’s wedding. However, times had changed, and five years had passed since then. Sally could not bring herself to be cruel toward Freya, who now showed complete remorse. Additionally, she had treated Sam and Little Sarah with genuine kindness lately. Sally had begun to think of her as family. Yet, now, something like this happened. She sighed. “Freya…” “Freya will not be in great condition when she regains consciousness. You need to prepare yourself mentally.” Freya’s illness was in her heart. The sort of illness she had made it so that she could not be made angry, excited, or frantic. If not, not e

    Evonne and Sally were slurping instant noodles when Elijah and Thomas arrived at the doctor’s on-call room. They were starving and had virtually no energy left. The only thing in the room they could use to fill their stomachs was instant noodles. When the door opened, Elijah frowned slightly when he saw his petite wife steadily making her way through a pack of instant noodles. The man strode over and grabbed her bowl. “Unhealthy stuff.” Sally had been enjoying herself and raised her head angrily when her instant noodles were taken away. “I don’t care if it’s not nutritious! I’m hungry… Hubby?” The emotions in the woman’s eyes turned from anger to shock, and then to surprise! Reaching out her arms, she encircled Elijah’s neck and jumped into his arms. “You’re back!” “I missed you so much!” He had been on his ocean trip for more than half a month. They had never been separated for so long since getting back together. The signal on the sea was spotty, and she could never

    When Sally finished suturing the last ruptured blood vessel in Freya’s heart, she was starving, exhausted, and had little to no energy left. Evonne, who was beside her, was not much better off. “It’s steady! The patient’s heartbeat is steady again!” The nurse staring at the electrocardiograph yelled out excitedly! Given the condition the patient was in, if it weren’t for these two doctors, they would never have been able to save her! “Dr. Summers and Dr. Turner are amazing!” “Of course.” A senior doctor standing nearby smiled as he stroked his beard and said, “How did you think Dr. Summers earned her title of genius surgeon?” The young nurse’s mouth widened in surprise. “In that case… why are Dr. Summers and Dr. Turner no longer working as doctors?” The senior doctor sighed. “I guess they have their reasons…” In another corner, Evonne leaned against the wall, exhausted as she turned to look at Sally. “Dr. Summers, do you still plan to stay on as a housewife?” Sa
