Quinn dismissed the helpers to their work. When he finished smoking the cigarette, he went upstairs to Ivy’s room.Entering the bedroom, Quinn saw Jacob packing up his kit.Ivy, lying on the bed, was completely pale, looking pitiful.Jacob gave Quinn a look when he saw him come in and said grumpily, “I’ve already given her an injection. Miss Langham needs to rest well for the next few days and avoid being stressed.“Thank you,” Quinn said.“If you really want to thank me, don’t call me next time.” Jacob slung his kit over his shoulder, looking irritated. “Mr. Forester, please remember that I’m a surgeon, not an obstetrician and gynecologist. Call the head of O & G next time, okay?”The last time Jacob had to help was when Quinn’s wife got drugged. This time, Quinn’s ex-girlfriend’s pregnancy was unstable, and he had to help again!‘Goddamn it. Did I kill Quinn’s family in his past life? Is that why I’m paying for it now?’Jacob even said maliciously, “You asked a non-expert lik
Upon returning to Sparrow Garden, Kevin spoke to Aunt Lily. Aunt Lily immediately went upstairs to collect Jenna’s belongings before leaving Sparrow Garden with Kevin. As far as she was concerned, the only person she needed to care for was Jenna. She would go wherever Jenna was. On the way to Sandalwood Palace, Kevin received a call from Sam. Sam was calling to ask if he had taken Jenna to the hospital to treat the burn on her leg. “No.” Kevin frowned when he thought about the burn on Jenna’s leg. “Jen hates the smell of disinfectant in the hospital.” Sam remarked, “It’s because her grandmother passed away in a hospital.” “Big bro, the burn on her legs is quite serious. The doctor says that if we don’t get it treated soon, it’s going to leave behind an ugly scar,” Kevin said while driving. “Also, she doesn't want to live in Sparrow Garden, so she went and bought an apartment in Sandalwood Palace. I’m driving Aunt Lily over there to take care of her." “Alright
Fearing that the effect of the sleeping pill would wear out soon, Kevin quickly went to pay the medical bills and collected the medicine. Then, they left the hospital to take Jenna home. After they got to Sandalwood Palace, they took the elevator to Jenna’s unit. It occurred to Kevin that he had carried Jenna several times today. He suddenly realized how light she was as if carrying a cushiony bolster pillow. One of Jenna’s arms was hooked around his neck and her head drooped downward. Her hair draped over her face and she was frowning. It looked like she did not feel very comfortable in her sleep. Her body reeked with the smell of medicine from the large amount of medicinal paste applied to her leg. Despite that, Kevin caught a hint of a rosy smell. It was not as noticeable as a real rose, but it was a charming scent that stirred something in him. He could feel the warmth of Jenna's fingers pressed against the back of his neck. Perhaps because she felt uncomfortab
Kevin felt a shiver run down his spine when he read the text. He had already informed Sam about him coming to Sandalwood Palace to take care of Jenna. Since he was with Jenna, why did Quinn still want to have someone spy on her? Kevin: [Boss, Jen suffered extensive burns on both legs, it's going to take longer for her to heal. The doctor instructed her to stay at home for a week.] Quinn: [Alright. Take care of her.] Meanwhile, at Elysian Group. After Quinn sent the text, he summoned Sam to his room. He ordered Sam, “Help Kevin and Jenna apply for leave.” “Understood.” Sam had entered the office with a set of breakfast. He placed the breakfast on the desk before informing, "I sent Miss Ivy back home this morning. She bought this and asked me to bring it to you.” Quinn glanced at the food and said blankly, “Get rid of it later.” “One more thing. Tell Jacob to find a qualified house doctor and have the doctor installed at Ivy’s place. Monitor her pregnancy and ma
At first, Jenna did not seem to care. Later on, she went to the living room and began opening them one after another. Kevin watched as Jenna pulled out a luxury handbag from one box, then a limited edition dress from another. She seemed ecstatic about receiving these gifts and quickly became obsessed with them. “Jen, could you have some dignity?” Kevin seemed upset on her behalf and said sharply, “If I had to guess, Boss is only sending these gifts to make up for what Ivy did to you. “Don’t you feel ashamed receiving these gifts from him?” Kevin had spent the last two days hacking into the surveillance cameras inside the Forester household. Finally, he discovered how Jenna received that burn on her leg. When he was going through the footage, he could see how much Old Madam Forester liked Jenna whenever she visited. Old Madam Forester would always put food on her plate during meals. There were no cameras inside the pantry so he could not see what happened inside there.
After Jenna fully recovered, she returned to work. She wore a light gray business suit.The dress was tight-waisted and paired with eight-centimeter-tall high heels. The outfit highlighted the beauty of her lean and slender legs. When she stepped into the department, her colleagues could not take their eyes off her legs. One of them said, "Jenna, I haven’t seen you in a few days. Is it just me or have your legs gotten prettier?” “They probably slimmed down because I’ve been walking a lot,” Jenna said with a quick smile. Then, she set down her bag and went into Miss Brown’s office. She knocked on the door before entering and approaching the desk. “Miss Brown, I'm familiar with the workflow now, do you have any task to assign to me?” “I know how capable you are, but you just came back from your break. Take it easy for now before diving back into work,” Miss Brown said with a smile. Previously, Sam had approached her in private to request leave for Jenna. After further
She walked down the corridor and stopped in front of the president’s office. Then, she knocked on the door. "Come in." A deep voice rang from the other side of the door. She stepped inside and looked into the room. A man was sitting behind a mahogany table. He wore a dark gray suit paired with a tie and looked very solemn. He had sharp facial features and a tight frown. Furthermore, his aura was grave… “President.” Jenna walked in and set the document on the table before remarking politely, “Here’s the document you asked for." Quinn did not even glance at the document but stared at Jenna instead. The table was not very tall and since Jenna was standing some distance away from the table, he had a full view of her from head to toe. She was wearing a black office outfit with a short skirt, exposing her slender legs. She had an indescribable, alluring charm that still maintained an air of professionalism. Upon sensing his silence, Jenna bowed faintly. "President, if
After one of Jenna’s colleagues finished reading the email, they slid over on the swivel chair and told her, “When the president wanted you to bring up the document to him, we thought it was because he had a crush on you…” “Was Mr. Forester only calling you up to lecture you? No wonder you looked upset when you came back." “Do I?” Jenna touched her face self-consciously. "Yeah.” The colleague nodded and asked curiously, "Mr. Forester always looks so gentle. Was he very angry when he lectured you?” When Jenna returned to the department, she was still wondering what sort of cover story she should give her colleagues to dissuade their gossip. Since the email managed to help take some heat off her, she decided to play along. With that, she sighed weakly and gestured. “You know how it went down.” Her colleagues went silent. The sudden intrusion of the email drastically changed the atmosphere inside the company. When Jenna went to the canteen for lunch, she was no l
