The argument between Whitney and Lincoln drew the attention of several passersby. As things were spiraling out of control, Whitney hastily smiled and said, "Mister, don't worry. We will take complete responsibility for the patient."Besides, I've already asked the most famous doctor in Steinberg, Dr. Pike, to come and treat your father. We—" Before she could finish, Lincoln slapped her across the face. She stumbled backward, and luckily, Mabel caught her before she fell.Whitney touched the vivid handprint on her cheek, and her eyes filled with tears. She took a few deep breaths, forcing herself not to cry."How dare you hit her?" Theresa's expression turned icy when she saw Whitney get hit. She pushed Lincoln forcefully away and said icily, "The patient still has a chance to live. Even if anything does happen, it's no excuse for you to assault anyone! I'm warning you. I can sue you for aggravated assault because you slapped her!"Besides, Ms. Sutton isn't trying to shift the
"Huh? Isn't that Ms. Sutton from Frostwave Corporation?" A sharp-eyed reporter recognized Whitney at once.As he spoke, the reporters around them surged forth like a hive of bees, raising their cameras at Whitney."Ms. Sutton, we heard that this old man is in critical condition because he took the Goldcrow pill manufactured by your company. Is there anything you'd like to say?""Ms. Sutton, I remember you saying at the Goldcrow pill product launch that it can cure anything. How do you explain the old man and his current condition?""Ms. Sutton, the Goldcrow pill has now caused a major case of medical malpractice. Will Frostwave Corporation continue to sell it?"The reporters' questions grew increasingly vitriolic, and Whitney did not know how to answer them."I'm very sorry, Ms. Sutton is here to see the patient. Frostwave Corporation will not make any statements to the public for now. Please move aside!" Mabel pushed aside the reporters at the front, and Theresa and Whitney sl
Whitney had turned pale with fright. She hurried forward and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter, Dr. Pike?" Jonah looked serious as he said softly into her ear, "Hurry and get Mr. Ballard. Otherwise… the patient is sure to die tonight!""I'll stall the patient's family for as long as I can. If you can't get Mr. Ballard to come, I'm afraid…" Jonah trailed off into silence. Whitney froze for several seconds before turning toward the door and rushing outside. Theresa and Mabel caught up quickly when they saw her leaving in such a rush.When they got into the car, Theresa asked in confusion, "What's the matter, Whit? Dr. Pike—""Dr. Pike wants us to get Sebastian. He says that the patient is not going to survive past tonight!" Whitney's hands tightened on the steering wheel."What? Why should we go to that loser? Dr. Pike isn't joking, is he?" Mabel asked, frowning. She felt that if Jonah couldn't save the patient, Sebastian would definitely be of no use.Although Sebastian
Whitney was confused by what Theresa had said. She asked in confusion, "I don't know what you mean.""Why don't you understand? If the Goldcrow pill kills someone, Frostwave Corporation's reputation will be severely damaged. As long as Frostwave Corporation becomes bankrupt, you'll have no choice but to get back together with him and live an indolent life like him!"Mabel nodded vigorously at Theresa's analysis. She said, "No wonder he gave the prescription to me so readily when I asked him for it! He must've been plotting this from the start! Ms. Sutton, he's such a terrible man!"Whitney said nothing. Although she looked calm, her heart was in complete turmoil!Was what Theresa said true? Had Sebastian been planning this from the start?No!No matter what, Whitney refused to believe what anyone said. As long as Sebastian could give her a logical explanation, she would forgive him for anything, no matter what he had done!However, she sincerely hoped that he wasn't that kind of
Sebastian turned to look at Whitney and smiled bitterly as he said, "If you really did trust me, you wouldn't be asking. Go ahead. Is there another problem?"Whitney heard the icy tone in his voice, and she saw how distant his eyes were as he looked at her. She felt a bitterness in her heart.Was Sebastian still the man who had obeyed her every whim and always showed her the most tender care?"Sebastian, we were together for three years. Do you really have to treat me this way?" she asked.Then, she added, "Yes, I admit it. There's been another little problem, and I do need your help. But before all that, I just want to know if the Goldcrow pill prescription is yours or not."I won't blame you no matter how you got your hands on it. Even if I lose everything, I just want to get back our—"Before Whitney could finish, Sebastian waved a hand and said, "Stop talking. The past is the past, and we don't need to bring it up."Whitney stared dazedly at him, and her eyes grew wet. "Se
That was what gave Theresa her confidence."So? What are you trying to say?" Sebastian said coldly.Theresa snorted and said, "I just want to tell you that what you just said is ridiculous. The only thing that needs to be done to save the patient is to clear his vital points and neutralize the medicinal effects in the patient's body." Sebastian sneered and said, "Fine, go ahead and do it then. What vital points should be pricked? How many inches should the needles be plunged in? Didn't that damn professor of yours teach you that?"Don't even try to lord it over me with your PhD in medicine! Even the foreign trash who taught you traditional medicine is worth less than shit to me, let alone you! "How can you use medical equipment to test the principles behind traditional medicine? Leave! I won't be sending you off!" Sebastian turned and walked behind the register. He didn't even want to look at Theresa."You—" Theresa turned red, then white. Sebastian could insult her, even h
Sebastian nodded slightly and got up. He said, "Alright. I'll be right back."He walked out of the store and disappeared into the night.As she watched him leave, Janet asked in confusion, "Ms. Griffin, I really don't understand. Why are you so nice to Whitney? You're rivals in love."Isn't it a good thing to let Frostwave Corporation close down because of this medicine issue? Besides, with this as a barrier between them, she'll never remarry Dr. Ballard."Even Janet, who was an outsider, could see very clearly that Whitney was letting her defenses down to Sebastian. It was clear that she wanted to patch things up with him.Anyone who was in Rosalie's shoes would never let Sebastian help Whitney.Rosalie smiled and shook her head as she said, "No, I'm not helping Whitney. I'm only giving Sebastian freedom."The relationship that I truly want is one that has no sense of restrictions and is free of any verbal threats. If I force him to stay with me, neither of us would be happy."
"I rushed over specially to see if there's anything I can do to help," Jace said. "I heard that if you use the acupuncture technique found on the National Doctors website to clear the meridians after taking the Goldcrow pill, the patient will be fine, so I brought Gandolf along. Let him give the patient acupuncture later, and the patient will be alright." Jace had taken them all by surprise. Even Theresa and Mabel were impressed. Compared to how indifferent Sebastian had been, Jace was the perfect Prince Charming. Not only did he have an impressive family background, but he was also very helpful. The most important thing was that Jace was very handsome. Even Theresa looked at him with admiration in her eyes. "Oh my, you're such a gentleman, Mr. Beckard. Ms. Sutton was hesitating about whether to call you for help just now. We never expected you to…" Mabel was so overcome with excitement that she didn't know what to say.Whitney felt very touched. She was about to nod and accep
