Back then, Joanne would nod obediently at everything Connor said.This time, she replied, "That won't do. Jeremy insists on getting into Feynman Hospital. His dream is to be a doctor there."Connor smiled. "What did Spencer say, then?""Spence had someone contact the head of the Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, but it didn't work."Connor darted his eyes back and forth. "It's okay. Leave this to me."Joanne was surprised. "Do you have a solution? But didn't you tell me to let it go just now?""I'll try." Connor added, "I'll try my best for you."Joanne immediately replied, "Mr. Stone, thank you so much.""No worries. Spence's my best friend. You don't have to thank me."Joanne seized the chance and said, "You're such a nice person. Why isn't Ariana getting along with you? Is there any misunderstanding between you two?"She had long heard that Spencer's friends had issues with Ariana. Connor replied, "Misunderstanding? No. I simply hate her."Joanne felt at ea
Spencer held her wrist. "It's fine. You should rest.""I'm not tired.""Sit down."Joanne knew he wouldn't repeat himself, so she sat down obediently. Connor said, "Jojo treats you so well. Don't you know how to be nice to her?"Joanne quickly explained, "Spence's just too tired. I heard that he worked overnight last night. It must've been exhausting.""Jojo, you're so caring and gentle. You'll make your family happy." Connor clicked his tongue and said, "Someone's so lucky."Spencer wanted to shut him up, but he glanced at Joanne and held himself back. After Joanne went to the bathroom, Connor said, "I think Jojo is a nice girl.""Do you think I don't know?"Connor asked, "Why did you—""Why would I not know? When did you become so nosy?" Spencer looked at him and warned, "You should just keep your mouth shut.""Are you coming back in such a hurry because of Ariana?" Seeing the stern look on Spencer's face, Connor promised, "This will be the last question!"Spencer snor
Ariana was in an appointment with her patient when Spencer called previously. She had hurt her ankle and couldn't perform surgeries, but she could still check on her patients.Jensen had answered the phone for her and informed her after that. He had told her that Spencer had thrown a fit and blithered, so he had talked back to him.Ariana knew Spencer's temper and how Jensen would react. The two had fought before, so it was no surprise that they would argue with each other.As soon as Spencer woke up and saw her, his gaze was intimidating. She had no choice but to stop him from speaking. Patients who suffered concussions shouldn't get too emotional, or it would worsen their conditions. However, Spencer didn't know about that. When he saw Ariana and recalled those things Jensen had said, he was so furious that he sat up immediately.Before he could speak, his body swayed, and he felt a bit dizzy.His fierce look was gone in an instant. Ariana took a pillow and placed it b
Joanne was startled. "Huh? Really? Spence, are you okay?""He's fine. There's something wrong with his brain."Spencer glared at Ariana furiously. "You're the one with a brain issue!"Joanne watched as the two fought with each other and somehow thought they seemed to be flirting.She had always felt insecure, so she immediately looked at Ariana. "Ari, Spence is injured, yet you're making him mad. Would you leave first? I'll take care of him."Ariana replied, "That's great, then. Otherwise, I'll have to pay to hire a caretaker."She was implying that Joanne was being a caretaker for free. Before Joanne said anything, Ariana smiled and said, "However, you'd better inform me if there's anything wrong with him. After all, they will need me—his lawfully wedded wife—to decide if he needs to be extubated next time." With that, Ariana wheeled herself out of the ward before the two could react.Spencer could vaguely sense the sarcasm in Ariana's words. He asked, "What extubation?"H
Ariana felt great after blocking Connor. Jensen asked, "Are you going to let Joanne take care of Spencer in the hospital?"Ariana replied, "What should I do, then? Do you think it'll change anything if I say no?""Does this mean that you've made up your mind?"Ariana naturally knew what he was referring to.Seeing that she fell silent, Jensen asked, "Or are you worried that Mr. Lubove will be against your decision?"It would be worse than that. Ariana could already imagine Kieran breaking her legs if she mentioned the divorce.To Kieran, his business was way more important than Ariana, although he had been saying that he would leave all his assets to her since she was his only daughter. Jensen knew about the Lubove family's situation. He was curious, too. Since the Luboves only had one daughter, it only made sense that they should be doting on Ariana. However, it was the opposite. Ariana had been brought up by her grandparents. Her grandparents had passed away after fal
"I'm fine." Spencer didn't want to talk about it. "I told you not to come.""You got into a car accident. How can I not come?" Connor asked, "Does Ariana know about this? Has she come?""She was here," Spencer replied coldly. "It'd be better that she didn't come, though. She has such a sharp tongue now and will drive me mad."Connor said, "It seems like she's different now. I called her, but she actually blocked me!"Spencer looked at him. "Why did you call her?""Aren't you focusing on the wrong thing now?" Connor repeated furiously, "I said she blocked me! She actually had the guts to block me!"Spencer said, "She even had the nerve to scold me. Why wouldn't she have the guts to block you?"Connor was more shocked. "She scolded you? Why? Because you have a mistress?"Spencer looked behind him.Just then, Joanne stood at the door. Realizing his slip of the tongue, Connor felt awkward.He immediately said, "Jojo, I didn't mean that…"Joanne's eyes turned red in mere second
The next morning, Weston came to the hospital and got the discharge procedures done for him.After that, they got into the car. Before Weston reported about work, he asked out of habit, "Mr. Ulrich, would you like to go home to take a shower and get changed?"Spencer looked at him. "Go home. Leave the work for tomorrow."Tomorrow? That would mean that he wouldn't be working today. Weston was surprised that a workaholic like Spencer would choose to take a break from work.When Spencer arrived home, he found that Ariana wasn't around. He only found out she had gone to work after calling her."Why did you still go to work when you're still injured?" Spencer bellowed, "Come home right now!"Then, Ariana hung up on him.Spencer wanted to call again, but he couldn't bring himself to do that. He was so mad that he almost threw his phone away.However, not long after that, Weston drove back to the office. As expected from a workaholic, Spencer had decided to go to work in the e
Connor was stunned. "What's that?"When Connor was still baffled, Spencer changed the topic. "You should leave if there's nothing else."Connor stared at him. "Why have you been so secretive recently? Also, you and Ariana—""I think you have nothing better to do." There was a sense of hostility in Spencer's tone. "Get lost now!" Connor placed his hand against the car window and asked, "Have you fallen for Ariana?"Spencer's face darkened in an instant. After saying that, Connor burst into laughter. "I'm joking! Everyone knows you're into… Okay. I'll stop."With that, he turned around and left. However, Spencer fell into deep thought because of Connor's words. After a long time, he finally started the engine and left. Connor's car stopped at the side. When he saw Spencer's car leaving, he smiled faintly. He would keep waiting.However, when the time Ariana mentioned came around, she was nowhere to be seen.Connor didn't know that Ariana never got to leave work on ti
