Around evening, a certain news article appeared in the newspaper. "Stardust Clinic grand reopening.” Moreover, it was even printed in bold letters.However, since the era of paper media had grown out of popularity in modern times, this news article only gained a little attention. They were only noticed by some people who had a habit of reading newspapers.Yet, this alone was enough. Since they were not selling products, there was no need to make a big deal out of it. As long as the listed information was accurate, the reopening of the establishment would eventually be known to others.After this endeavor, Jason no longer cared about it.On the fifth day of the second month, the medical center reopened inconspicuously. They had not invited anyone to the opening ceremony aside from the few people working in the medical center. After letting off some fireworks, the medical center was considered reopened.Compared to Mediterrania, the winter season in the Northeast was a little more l
He poured her a glass of water and placed it in front of her. Miranda had not drank it since she felt wary.“Mr. Lorenz, it is still my working hours. If there’s nothing you need from me, I have to leave. They talk behind my back." Miranda stood up and said.“Talking behind your back? Who would dare to do that?” Leslie’s eyes turned grim.“Miranda! You graduated not long ago, right?” Leslie then smiled while silently inching his body closer to her.“Yes.” Miranda took a step back and nodded lightly.“If there’s nothing for me, I will be going first,” Miranda said.“Hey, don’t be in a hurry to leave!” Leslie was flustered after seeing Miranda running to the door and grabbing her arm.He had not let go after grabbing her arm. Instead, he started fiddling with it with his hands and even approached her and sniffed it. Miranda angrily retracted her arm and spoke indifferently, “Mr. Lorenz, please behave yourself.”His intentions towards her were already obvious to see. Miranda would
She ran out of the room with her tattered nurse’s uniform. The people present in the hospital could not help but stare at her. “Miranda.” Wesley could not help but exclaim in frustration after seeing it.However, Miranda only ignored it and instantly ran out of the hospital. She felt the intense urge to cry in someone’s arms.Outside of the hospital, she called Lewis’ phone number and cried to the phone, “Where are you?” A flustered voice was heard from the other end, which warmed her heart. Many minutes later, Lewis appeared. His gaze had changed after seeing Miranda crouching in a corner while looking helpless.“What happened?” Lewis asked Miranda.Noticing his arrival, Miranda instantly jumped into his arms. She could no longer contain her tears and cried.“Stop crying for now. Tell me what happened,” Lewis asked Miranda.“It’s the vice dean. He harassed me.” Miranda cried out.There was a figure not far away who was disappointed as he witnessed the scene—it was Wesley. He
Miranda crouched on the floor. She gently shook her head while feeling hopeless.Wesley could not help but feel heartache as he looked at her lifeless eyes. He took off his jacket and gently placed it on her body.“Thank you,” Miranda spoke softly. “Well… You’re welcome.” Wesley scratched his head and smiled.Miranda felt the urge to laugh after seeing his silly demeanor, but she could not do so.“Why had it ended up this way?” She was utterly confused. She felt like that man had suddenly changed.Perhaps, she had a wrong perception of him from the very beginning. In the end, she realized that her devotion turned out to be a mistake.“I actually turned my back on my family because of someone like him.” Miranda laughed sorrowfully.“Utterly ridiculous,” she mumbled.At this moment, Wesley’s phone rang, and he answered it. “Samantha, what is it?” he asked.“Are you with Miranda? Mr. Lorenz woke up, and he had already called the police. Tell Miranda to hide or utilize her conne
He extended his hand and wiped the tears away from the corners of her eyes. “Well… The breeze is cold. It will cause wrinkles easily.” Wesley tried to make an excuse after realizing that Miranda had not pulled away from his touch.“Pfft.” Miranda could not help but laugh after seeing Wesley’s silly antics.Her reaction that was a dazzling sight had stunned him once again.“Are you alright? Do you want to get it checked at the hospital?” Miranda told Wesley.“It’s fine, I am tough.” Wesley chuckled.“Let us leave for now! I’ll let Samantha figure out what happened. The things that happened to me are nothing to worry about,” Wesley said.After hailing a cab, they made their way to Wesley’s home. It was a small house with a living room and a single bedroom. It was in a chaotic state. Wesley kicked the clothing that he had just changed out of under the bed while feeling awkward and smiled, “I… I am accustomed to living alone. Take a seat. I’ll boil some water for you.” Then, he wen
“I really don’t want to make the call, but I need to settle some scores with you. You have spent quite a lot of my money these days, and I also spent a lot of money to get you this job. Since you betrayed me, shouldn’t I reclaim the money from you?” Lewis's voice was heard on the phone.“Shameless.” Miranda gritted his teeth and cursed with a pale expression.“Hmph. It’s better to be shameless than to be promiscuous like you.” Lewis chuckled indifferently.“Tell me how much money you want, I’ll pay you. We will settle all scores and no longer be associated in the future.” Miranda gritted her teeth.“Including your spending and the fee for your job, just pay me three hundred thousand!” Lewis said.“Fine, just you wait.” Miranda chuckled indifferently and then hung up the phone.At this moment, a knock was heard on the door. Wesley stood up and approached the door in vigilance, then looked at the peephole. Meanwhile, Madison felt trepidation as well. She knew that they would truly
Jason was stunned since he adored Miranda from the bottom of his heart. Of course, he felt that Miranda had exaggerated her words since she would never reach the point of no return. Could there be anyone who could do that to Miranda?"Tell me where you are. I'll ask someone to fetch you," Jason spoke softly."I'll come to the Northeast tonight. We can talk about it by then. No matter what hardships you have suffered, I will avenge you," Jason spoke."Alright, don't tell it to the family," Miranda spoke softly.Her family had done everything they could to stop her, but she stubbornly ran away from home and ended up this way. Hence, she was definitely ashamed to face her family."Fine, but you should know that no one will blame you since it's just a small matter. Stay put and wait for me." Jason smiled."Yes." Miranda nodded and then told Jason her current whereabouts.After hanging up the phone, Jason called Tricia Jonas. Among the people that were close to him, only the Jonas Fa
"How would I know?" Wesley spoke in exasperation."We can't ignore him. He will probably leave soon if he realizes that no one's here," Wesley spoke."Yes, that's all we can do for now." Samantha nodded in approval.The knocks continued while the three of them cowered in the bedroom without making a noise."Young lady, it seems like no one's here." The man who knocked on the door told the dazzling woman who stood beside him."It's impossible. He clearly stated that this is the place." The woman shook her head.The person who spoke was from the Jonas Family, Jessica Jonas. She had received an order from her family and instantly rushed over here. Since it was Jason who personally called and asked for help, nobody in the family would dare to disregard it."Keep knocking. If it doesn't work, we'll have to breach the door," Jessica spoke decisively. Since they were already here, they must at least see through the end.While the trio who hid in the bedroom had collectively sighed in
