Javier had never expected that the hospital’s director who was speaking at that moment would actually be James Carillo himself.James was the doctor who had paid for the remaining 800 dollars worth of medical treatment fees for Milly initially and later resigned after he was saddened by the news that she had passed away. Javier was filled with respect for this particular doctor. Doctors were meant to be kind people who saved lives, but Javier could genuinely feel this spirit coming from James, so he respected the man. However, he never thought he would end up meeting James there once more. At that moment, James was speaking to the white-haired old man. “Sir, I really can’t carry on being a doctor anymore. I can’t control myself from thinking about that little girl whenever I look at a doctor’s robe. “She was only seven at the time…She was so young and pitiful…I clearly could save her but chose to stand aside and do nothing just because she didn’t have the money. I’ve been tr
Upon knowing that Javier trusted himself and was even willing to invest in a hospital like his, Oliver was rather touched and felt acknowledged. However…“I no longer hold sole authorization over this hospital now since it’s been mortgaged to the bank. Plus, they have already decided to put this hospital on auction. Even if I do have money to pay them back as quickly as possible, including the late penalties incurred, I still can’t cancel the auction from happening.”Oliver was still about to give Javier more reasons, but the latter merely waved his hand, expressing that none mattered. “According to my understanding of the mortgage procedures, anything exceeding the interests and the late penalties from the auctioned amount will belong to the mortgagor, in other words, Sacred Virtues Hospital. As such, it won’t matter how much the auctioned amount exceeds these penalties because it will all become ours in the end.“Plus, items placed on auction will rarely exceed their original
As Sacred Virtues Hospital’s chief nurse, it was only natural that Mikaela was temporarily out of a job now that the hospital was being placed under auction. Although Oliver had “squandered away” all of his family’s money, she was still his biological daughter at the end of the day, so she would still take care of him. Thinking that she had nothing to do that weekend, plus Renna had been making a fuss that she wanted to meet her grandfather, Mikaela had ultimately brought her over there. However, what she had not expected was for Oliver to bring home some guests. She had not prepared that many portions of lunch at all because of this. On top of that, what was even more surprising was that one of the men amongst the two guests was the very young man who had given Renna a Barbie doll the previous night. “Dad, who’s this?”Faced with his daughter’s question, Oliver passionately introduced, “This is a very capable person. Donald was thinking about buying a Chinean before, wasn’t
”You head outside first. I’ll be done in a moment.”Mikaela cleared up the things in the kitchen in a panic, unable to allow Javier to remain in the kitchen any longer. However, Javier was feeling very helpless as well. “I do want to go out too, Mikaela, but this isn’t the best timing to do that right now. If Dr. Holmes and James see this, they’re definitely going to misunderstand that something’s happening between us.”Mikaela could not help but feel embarrassed as well at that point.However, she could not deny that Javier was indeed making sense. If her father and James were to see Javier at that very moment, they would definitely misunderstand something. Thus, Mikaela tried her best not to think about it and allowed Javier to stay in the kitchen.However, while she was clearing up something facing Javier, she accidentally looked at him and occasionally looked at something she should not be looking at, causing her face to turn completely red. Because of this, she could not
After leaving Oliver’s home, Javier headed to the auction company to register himself and pay up the deposit for the auction. In order to not make himself seem too obvious, he registered under his own personal name rather than Reivaj Group’s.On top of that, he did not have enough time since that afternoon was the last day to register. There would be too many tedious procedures involved should he have used Reivaj Group’s name to register. After paying up the deposit fees, Javier returned to the hospital. He wanted to investigate his father’s operation details and find some leads. Unfortunately, all of that information had been sealed up and locked away. But this was all understandable since the bank was suing the hospital and got it sealed up. Thus, it was natural that a huge bundle of documents could not be read.After leaving the hospital, Javier stayed in his hotel and began investigating Sacred Virtues Hospital and Blissful Medical Group. ‘If Blissful Medical Group had
“B-But why are you dragging me into your room!?”Mikaela acknowledged that it was her fault for screaming “jerk” once the door opened when she knocked on it, but she thought Javier should not have dragged her into the room.Javier felt powerless. “So you mean I should let you scream in the hallway that I’m a jerk and cause a misunderstanding so others can watch the drama? I don’t know how you found out about my room number, and I thought it was Herschel knocking on my door, so I opened it with my underwear. I’d be the jerk opening the door with my underwear if you’d even said that you were Mikaela when you knocked.”Mikaela felt awkward as she listened to Javier.Basically, she was the one at fault. It did not have anything to do with Javier. She felt bad about it now. “I’m sorry, I misunderstood you and almost caused you trouble. I’m really sorry but you…Can you put on your pants first? It’s kind of awkward.”Mikaela sounded shy and looked even more bewitching with her flushed fa
When Javier came back to the hotel again with Herschel, and they were eating at the restaurant the next noon, Mikaela surprisingly came again, bringing Renna with her this time.Javier understood what Mikaela was trying to do at once. Was she shielding herself with her daughter?He eyed Herschel. The latter understood and carried Renna right away.“Good girl Renna, I’ll drive us to get some snacks in a big car, okay?”Herschel sounded like he was asking whether Renna was okay with it, but he did not give her or her mother, Mikaela, the chance to reject him. Mikaela was unable to stop him when he had already carried Renna away.Exasperated, Mikaela could only think that it should be fine since they were currently in the restaurant. She dared not stall either and told Javier about Donald wanting to find a managerial position in his company.Javier could guess that Mikaela had something to come to him for but did not expect it to be this, so he asked with a smile, “Does your husband
Mikaela was standing at the hotel entrance. There were a few times she wanted to rush back into the hotel, but her humility calmed her down ultimately.She could dislike Donald and divorce him and indulge in the last of her youth with another man, but all that came with a premise—that was for her to shed the “position” of being someone’s wife.To stay in that “position” and “work” with another man made her feel humiliated.Therefore, it would never cross Javier’s mind that not only had he not picked Mikaela up with what he said, but it also gave her the impulse to divorce him.After picking up Renna and going home, Mikaela passed the employment form to Donald, who looked in anticipation.When he realized that it was not for the position of the chairman’s secretary, he kicked Mikaela’s shoes away again. It was what he did best that even Mikaela taunted, “You should’ve gone to the soccer team instead!”Donald was disgruntled and lashed out at Mikaela. He felt that Javier should hav
