The man sighed and raised a hand to ruffle her hair. “Why would you speak at these events if you weren’t eloquent.”

Elijah picked up another notebook, which was filled from cover to cover. He flipped through the pages as he said, “You could always have asked someone else to speak for you.”

“I had no choice.”

Sally pursed her lips. Now that she had been exposed, she was too lazy to continue keeping the act up.

The woman hugged a pillow as she leaned helplessly against the couch. “Did you think I wanted to do it?”

She buried her face into the pillow. When the woman took her tiny face off the pillow to gaze at Elijah, her eyes were shining. “The director of the hospital is so proud of me that he insists on bringing me along to all his important meetings. He would also ask me to talk to people and deliver speeches…”

The woman sighed helplessly. “Honestly, I just want to delve deeper into academic research.”

“Just like how I was in school… The class monitor would do whatever th

    She had been trying to keep a low profile all these years. However, the director’s praise and appreciation of her had attracted a lot of attention. So much attention that the other doctors were starting to be jealous of her. Elijah’s heart twinged as he watched the sparkle leave her eyes. He sighed helplessly. “What about you? Do you like your job now?” “I can’t say if I like it or not. Honestly, besides these useless meetings and socialization, I quite enjoy my job. I feel calm and happy.” The man smiled at her. “Your personality might be more suited to doing research in a lab instead of traveling and making speeches.” “Yeah, I guess so.” Sally sighed. She felt much better after talking about her emotions. The woman sighed and placed the pillow back onto the couch. “It’s late. You should rest.” “What about you?” She waved the notebook she was holding. “I’m going to continue working on this.” “I’ll accompany you.” The man spoke gently as he sat by her and stared

    The press conference organized by Gunter City Hospital took place at ten o’clock the next morning.Some of the most famous people in the medical community had been involved in this issue of malpractice. Sally was also one of the most well-known doctors in Gunter City Hospital, which was why countless reporters were attending the press conference. Almost the entirety of Gunter City’s media industry was present. Moreover, some foreign reporters were attending the press conference. Sally saw several European reporters when she entered the venue. A woman with a stunning face and a cold gaze was sitting beside these European reporters. The woman had a tall, slender, sexy figure that exuded a chilling aura. Just then, she had her legs crossed together as she spoke to the Europeans she was sitting next to. She would even plaster an insincere smile across her face once in a while. Sally’s hands curled into fists. Queenie Tate. How long had it been since she had last seen her

    Sally immediately tacked onto what Elijah had said, “Sir, who is Morgan?” “Morgan is the best voice actress in Gunter City. She can easily learn the ways a person speaks and converses through imitation.” Stephen, who was sitting next to Elijah, smiled. He glanced at his phone as he recited. “However, Morgan rarely does recordings for people who are not within the community unless she is on friendly terms with them.” Elijah glanced cooly at Assistant Director Landt when Stephen finished speaking and said, “I heard you’ve recently paid a visit not only to Morgan but also to her sound engineer. May I know if there was an important reason for that visit?” “I…” Assistant Director Landt’s usually stern face began paling. She had not expected Elijah and Stephen to find Morgan! She thought the director had just wanted to kick Sally out from the hospital in front of the media and restore justice to Chandler’s name! However, she was mistaken! With how things were going now, it

    “I would like to use this opportunity to refute the rumor regarding Dr. Summers. The audio file that has gone viral was not recorded two years ago. It was produced in my recording studio.” “I take responsibility for every word I’ve said here. Should there be anyone who would like even more sincerity, I am more than happy to upload the original recording.” Morgan’s words were like a bomb that caused an explosion within the audience. Some reporters even directed their cameras toward Assistant Director Landt and began snapping away. “Assistant Director Landt, did you spend so much effort doing this because you were jealous of young Dr. Summers and wanted to frame her?” “Assistant Director Landt, do you have any comments regarding Ms. Morgan’s accusations?” “Assistant Director Landt, why did you decide to open this case again when it had been closed two years ago? Were you not satisfied unless you managed to push Dr. Summers to the very bottom of the pit?” “Assistant Director

    Her first thought was to place all the blame on Sally. However, Chandler had not blamed Sally. On the contrary, he had shouldered all the blame that was supposed to be placed on Sally. She was both devastated, heartbroken, and had ever since been looking for a chance to turn Chandler’s fate around. The chance had finally arrived, but she had not expected that… Sally Summers had come prepared. “I hate people like you who get up to all sorts of funny business behind a person’s back because you’re jealous of their talents!” A journalist sitting in the front row stood up angrily. They grabbed a cup and threw it toward Assistant Director Landt--“Professor, look out!” A figure jumped forth and straight into the cup’s path at that critical moment. The white porcelain cup fell to the ground and shattered into a million tiny pieces with a crash. Chandler, who had jumped in front of the cup, was soaked. He stood protectively in front of Assistant Director Landt. “Professor, a

    The audience began talking to each other again when the recording finished playing. It was because the screen showed that the audio file had last been edited two months ago. Which meant this was the authentic recording from two years ago. The one Assistant Director Landt had shared… had been re-recorded so she could pin the blame on Sally! This conclusion shocked the audience. The director’s eyes widened as he stared at Assistant Director Landt. “You…” They had been colleagues for twenty years. If it were not for the overwhelming proof, he would not have believed that Assistant Director Landt was capable of such matters! The journalists were also in a frenzy. Before arriving, they had only known that they were going to be given the full story on the malpractice that had occurred in Gunter City Hospital two years ago during the press conference today. They had never expected to learn about the conflicts that occurred among the members of the hospital. It was comparable

    The man narrowed his eyes as he said, “I remember when I first arrived at the hospital, I asked Assistant Director Landt, who was supposed to be the professional if my health condition would cause any complications during the surgery.” “You told me that nothing would happen and that you had a thorough file prepared.” “However… the reason the operation went wrong was because of that health condition I told you about.” “Dr. Chandler, who was in charge of the operation, did not have access to that knowledge about my body, which was why he nearly killed me during the operation.” Mr. Singer’s statement caused the audience to begin the discussion yet again. Assistant Director Landt stared at Mr. Singer in shock. “I…” “Professor.” Chandler gazed at Assistant Director Landt mournfully. “You once taught us in class that a doctor’s mission is to hold yourself accountable for each and every one of their patients.” “Did you hold yourself accountable for what happened to Mr. Singe

    Queenie attracted everyone’s attention when she stood. The director gazed at her in surprise. “Is there anything you would like to ask, miss?” “Let me first introduce myself.” The woman smiled as she gazed at Sally. Although she was smiling, her eyes were cold.Sally narrowed her eyes as she stared back fearlessly. “I’m a journalist from Europe XY Times. My name is Queenie.” Queenie. The journalists present cast her shocked, admiring glances when they heard that name. How dare she come! The issue had gathered so much attention because Queenie had published a report on foreign social media. In that report, Queenie had portrayed Saly as a profit-driven, reputation-seeking doctor. That report was also why the community had so many complaints directed at Gunter City Hospital. By right, Queenie should not be here today, nor should she be letting her presence be known. First of all, there were no two ways regarding the way she had handled things back then. Only time

    ————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
