Sally frowned. “Don’t touch that!”

The words had just left the woman’s lips when the man’s fingers were already on the pieces on the floor.

Frowning, she rushed forth and took his hand in hers, flipping it back and forth as she said, “Are you crazy!”

“It’s so easy to cut your hand like that…”

“I’m fine.”

Sally pursed her lips and took one last look. Thankfully, she had yelled out just in time. His fingers had not been cut.

The woman sighed and stared accusingly at Elijah. “Don’t wash plates if you don’t know how to.”

“What will you do if you hurt yourself?”

“Besides, you don’t pick up debris with your bare hands. Didn’t you see the broom right there!”

The woman’s accusing voice was filled with concern.

Elijah did not say anything.

She raised her head instinctively to look at him.

The man’s eyes were gentle. “So, you still worry about me.”

Startled, Sally felt her face turn red.

She gritted her teeth. “Why wouldn’t I be worried about you!”

Then, she felt th

    “And that’s where Assistant Director Landt is at fault.”Elijah picked up the dishes that Sally had cleaned and placed them carefully in the sterilizer before he said calmly, “Besides, even if she wasn’t targeting you in what she did two years ago, she’s targeting you now since she got Morgan to imitate your voice and rehash what happened back then.” The man turned to gaze intently at Sally when he finished speaking. “So, what are you going to do, Dr. Summers?” “She already sent the audio file that Morgan recorded to the director this evening. She’s also sent it to many journalists who cover academic media.” Elijah narrowed his eyes. “I asked Stephen to help block most of them, but we aren’t gods. We couldn’t come up with an exact list of people she would send the so-called proof to.” This affair had to do with Sally’s innocence in the academic world. The fewer people who knew about it, the better. “Thank you.” Sally sighed. “I’ll explain things to the director tomorrow mo

    The worst-case scenario Elijah had talked about yesterday seemed to have already happened.“Sally!”The moment Sally arrived at the office, Evonne hastily went up to her and pulled her into a storage room to hide.“Did something happen?”“Yes!”Evonne took out her phone and swiped to a news report. “Last night, someone operated behind the scenes and sent this article to medical academic media sources worldwide.“The leader of Gunter City woke the director up at four in the morning and made him investigate the matter from two years ago. The impact is really bad!”Sally furrowed her brows. She took the phone Evonne handed to her and read the report from beginning to the end.The report was talking about the medical malpractice incident two years ago.It even specifically mentioned her and Chandler Zink’s name.It contained her voice file as well, and compared it to the voice from the recording.The comments below were even more unsightly.Nearly everyone was one-sidedly conde

    Sally furrowed her brows, dodging the ashtray cleanly.With a bang, the ashtray smashed onto the marble floor, breaking into pieces.“Director.”Sally wrinkled her eyebrows and slowly walked in.“So, you did know to come here?!”The director scratched his head and glared at her viciously. “Close the door!”Sally obediently shut the door.“What exactly were you thinking?!”The director had his head in his hands, completely in disbelief. He glanced helplessly at Sally. “Even if you wanted to fish out Chandler, you didn’t have to set yourself up!“Now that you’ve given the recording to foreign media, this matter can’t be contained!”Sally stilled. Only then did she realized that the director had misunderstood the situation.He still thought that the foreign news report had been orchestrated with the goal of saving Chandler.“Sir, I’m not that impressive.”The woman smiled mildly at the director and gave him an answer he had never thought of nor would have dared to think. “Thi

    The director was startled. After hesitating for a while, he finally nodded.“True. No matter what exactly happened back then, Chandler is directly tied to it. He should come as well.“However.”The director pressed his lips together. “I’m afraid he won’t come.“It’s not as if you don’t know Chandler’s personality. Assistant Director Landt was his benefactor when he was in school, and you were the one who took care of him the most after he started working.“Asking him come to see you and Assistant Director Landt face off could be a little risky.”Sally pressed her lips together. She had thought of this too. “I’ll try convincing him.”“Alright.”The director sighed. “I’ll let everyone know later, and I’ll let the leader know as well.“Tomorrow, I’ll use our hospital’s name to hold a press conference and get Gunter City’s leaders as well as the media to bear live witness.”After saying this, the director even lifted his gaze to look at Sally a little sympathetically. “Dr. Summer

    Actually, Sally really wanted to chase after Elijah and Quincy.After all, the two of them were not at all close to Chandler.However, at that moment, she lifted her gaze and glanced at Wendell, who was seated next to Freya.Although the current Wendell was being extremely gentle, so gentle that he listened to Freya’s every word, Sally was very aware of Wendell’s personality.He was like his father. In his heart, there was nothing aside from conquest in his family’s name. There was no concept of familial love.This was obvious from the time that Daniel Moses had willingly blinded Wendell back then.A man like this staying in Freya’s room was basically a ticking time-bomb!Freya’s body was so weak. If he wanted to do anything to her, Sally would not even make it in time to revive her.The woman released a deep breath and looked coldly at Wendell. “Mr. Moses, Mrs. Lucca needs to rest well. If you don’t have any business, you can go back now.”Wendell raised his eyebrows. Derisio

    Wendell coughed lightly. “So, I wanted to come tell you about this, since Elijah’s company has recently started expanding rapidly in the European market…“If my father did something that affected Uncle’s reputation when he was younger, and it ends up affecting Elijah’s business…“I hope you and Elijah won’t be too angry.”“Is that it?”Freya shook her head. “Still, Elijah will definitely be very angry once he knows.“In his heart, our parents are god-like creatures. Gods don’t make mistakes.”After saying this, she waved a hand dismissively. “It’s fine. I get what you mean. I’ll tell Elijah at an appropriate time.”Wendell lowered his head. He wanted to say something, but ended up biting his tongue.If he remembered correctly…Before he was kicked out of the house, he once heard Daniel Moses prattling while drunk…“That Tate’s daughter-in-law was tight. Sleeping with her once is something you’ll never forget!“It’s a pity this woman became so fierce after that. I don’t even

    The gray-haired Assistant Director Landt narrowed her eyes fiercely and turned her head to look at Sally subconsciously.Sally was also looking at her.Two women. One had a cold look and the other an indifferent look.Looking at each other, Sally smiled gently at Assistant Director Landt. "Assistant Director Landt, you’re in my way."Assistant Director Landt was stunned and immediately realized that after she heard Sally talk about someone framing her, she had subconsciously stood in front of her nervously.Thus, she stepped away subconsciously.The little doctors around her also made a way for Sally."Thank you."Sally smiled and turned to walk outside.After just taking two steps, Assistant Director Landt suddenly came back to her senses and called out to her. "Dr. Summers!”Sally stopped, smiled, and turned to look at Assistant Director Landt. "Yes?”Assistant Director Landt looked in the direction she was heading. "Dr. Summers, where are you going?"It looks like you’re

    "Yeah! How can she be so confident after doing something wrong?!”"So what if she’s gotten many achievements?”The surrounding doctors chimed in one after another.Assistant Director Landt frowned and narrowed her eyes fiercely as she looked in the direction of Sally leaving.‘This woman…‘How come you’re not panicked or afraid at all?’————When Sally arrived at Chandler's small clinic in town, Elijah and Quincy had not left yet.When she got out of the car in a hurry, Chandler was having dinner with Elijah and Quincy as well as a strange man whom Sally had never seen before.There was a closed sign hanging outside the clinic, and the four men were squatting on the open space at the entrance of the clinic while grilling and… drinking.Sally stared at the scene before her in shock and did not come back to her senses for a long time.‘What's going on?’Freya was in the ward with the dangerous Wendell, because of which Sally was very worried about her safety.‘And these men

    ————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
