"Noah, look!""Do I need to teach you manners? Don't you know how to knock before entering?" Noah rebuked.Katie was stunned and froze on the spot with the contract raised in her hand. She didn't know how to react. "I—I just had good news I wanted to share with you. I didn't do it on purpose."Noah's heart was beating wildly. He looked at Katie coldly for a while. He collected himself and looked less grim. "What is it?"Katie immediately handed him the contract. "Have a look! This is the contract between me and QT. I'll be supplying them with the gemstones for a year."Noah furrowed his brows. So, what Katie had said in bed the other day hadn't just been something impulsive."Where are you getting the gemstones from?""Didn't I tell you that my father sent me some money?" Katie sat down and explained it to Noah with a smile. "I traced where the money came from and found my father. He was in the mining business at the border. He has great-quality stones. "My father isn't so
Curtis had just come around, so he was still feeling weak. Yet he used all his might to smile. "Hello, Yvonne. Mr. Turner."Yvonne and Caleb were stunned for quite a while.Choking up, Lloyd said, "The doctor just came. He said that Curtis is recovering quite well.""The doctor told me everything," Curtis chimed in feebly. "I won't be able to stand up anymore."Hearing this from Curtis, Lloyd could no longer hold back. He turned around and wiped away his tears.Yvonne walked over to the bed, feeling terribly sorry for Curtis. She didn't know what to say. In the end, she said with much difficulty, "I'm sorry."Curtis shook his head. "You're the one who rescued me. I should be thanking you." Although he'd been unconscious during the surgery, he knew that Yvonne was the one who'd saved him. Without Yvonne, he might not even be alive."Yvonne, you tried your best."That made Yvonne's eyes redden instantly. Why was Curtis so silly? He could no longer walk, yet all he thought of
Curtis had never had so much time like this, not having anything to do. Hence, he was always lost in his thoughts. Lying in bed, he'd already thought about the incident from 13 years ago. The faces of the people who had fallen to the ground in a pool of their own blood were still fresh in his mind.Now, facing Stephen's curiosity, he somehow wanted to confide in him. "I can explain it to you, but I don't want Yvonne to know.""Okay," Stephen promised, grabbing a chair by the side to sit down. This was the most basic respect he could give to Curtis.Instead of looking at him, Curtis merely stared out of the window."The truth is, Yvonne rescued me once, 13 years ago. She's forgotten about it, though."Then, Curtis recounted the incident. He'd rescued a bunch of international students, but he'd been ambushed halfway through.He spoke in a tender tone. Rather than talking to Stephen, it seemed like he was thinking of his old friends in his memory. It seemed as though they were all
That day, Yvonne went to see Curtis as usual. Just as she was about to leave, she was stopped by an old man with a benevolent smile."Ms. Miller, do you still recognize me?"Yvonne smiled and extended her hand to the old man."Dr. Faber. It's been a long time."Dr. Faber smiled even wider and shook Yvonne's hand. "Yes. It's been a long time. How is Old Jim?""Grandpa is great. He mentions you often."Dr. Faber wouldn't believe it. "If he really misses me, he should return to see me."Yvonne chuckled. "It's mostly my fault. I need him abroad to manage my organization. It's keeping him too busy. He can't find the time to come here and see you.""You don't have to stand up for him." Dr. Faber looked at Yvonne with approval. He said with a smile, "Ms. Miller, I have a favor to ask of you. I wonder if you'll agree to it?"Yvonne asked, "What could I possibly help you with?""All the doctors saw how you performed surgery on the patient the last time. Ever since then, they have be
Downtown Hospital hadn't had a talk in half a year. All of a sudden, not only had they invited an outsider, but they had also collaborated with Hopeful Faith to broadcast the talk live online.Other doctors from the other hospitals were all wondering which legendary figure Downtown Hospital could have invited for such grandiosity since they usually kept a rather low profile.The most surprising thing was that even the highly respected Dr. Faber had posted about this event on his private social media account. On top of that, it was his first-ever post!Thus, as the date of the event grew closer, the buzz around it got bigger and bigger. Almost every single member of the medical staff in the entire Northerna City knew about it.Naturally, Curtis had heard the nurses discussing it at the hospital. He didn't need to guess to know that the speaker was Yvonne.He started to worry because of how huge this event was. That night, he asked Lloyd, "Do you know what Yvonne is up to?""How wo
For the next three hours, Yvonne calmly answered the questions from the medical community in the audience.However, the other audience members were no longer focused on her talk. They were all in a state of shock. It seemed that they had just registered the revelation after the talk ended. All they could think of was how amazing Yvonne was.The professionals who were paying attention to the talk praised her online. Someone wrote a serious post analyzing how great Yvonne was."Yvonne is undoubtedly the best in neurology. Every single point she mentioned is accurate. She could even cite multiple cases to prove her point."It was a post of a few thousand words. The people online read the final sentence, which said, "There's a reason why she could cause such a huge commotion at the Downtown Hospital. She's really amazing."The buzz offline was equally lively too. Yvonne had just gotten off stage when a crowd of doctors surrounded her, fighting to invite her to their office for tea
As they left the hospital and got into the car, Ariel carefully called out, "Grandpa."Philip snapped out of his daze and looked at Ariel rather in bewilderment. "What is it?""Are you thinking about Yvonne?"Philip could see the worry in Ariel's eyes. He smiled pleasantly and said, "I was only surprised. I don't mean anything else. You don't have to worry.""But … she owns Hope Health Services. Then Grandma's sickness …""They are two different matters." Philip looked at Ariel benevolently. "This won't affect your marriage to Stephen."All this time, Ariel had been coming to Anderson Mansion quite often. Philip asked around and found that Ariel and Stephen had a terrible fight over the incident at the hotel.Philip had watched Ariel grow, so he knew her character well. She wasn't the type of person who would hurt someone.He suspected Stephen was using it as an excuse to call off the marriage so he could be with Yvonne.However, he also had to give it to Yvonne. She was indee
Three days later, the team for the national jewelry TV program came looking for Yvonne. Yvonne asked Nicole to deal with them and send her the details later.When Caleb entered Miller Jewels, he bumped into Nicole, who was sending the TV program team off.Caleb asked, "Who are they?""People from the Nation's Jewelry. They want Ms. Miller to go on their program.""Yvonne agreed to this?" Caleb asked.Nicole nodded. "Yes, since this program is related to jewelry, she said it could help Miller Jewels gain some traction."Caleb furrowed his brows. He said nothing more and went to look for Yvonne right away. He opened the door to her office and asked her directly, "Do you have some kind of plan or something?"Yvonne was working. She replied without looking up. "What plan?"Caleb walked closer to gain her attention. "First, you admitted that you're the boss at Hope. Now you're going on TV. Yvonne, this isn't something that you would normally do."Yvonne smiled and looked at Caleb
