Jade was happy just to see Melanie, but Melanie insisted they both drink until they got drunk. Jade couldn't persuade her otherwise, so she could only accompany her.After one round of drinks, Jade's head was spinning a bit, but Melanie was knocked out."Melanie, Melanie?" Jade patted Melanie's face and called out, but there was no response. Jade sat down dejectedly, regretting her decision. If she had known that Melanie wouldn't be able to handle her liquor, she wouldn't have let her go wild. Now that Melanie was so drunk, what should she do?In the end, Jade decided to take Melanie to a hotel for the night. However, because Melanie was too drunk to be carried only by Jade herself, Jade had to beg a guy from the bar who was familiar with Melanie for help. Only then did they manage to get Melanie to the hotel, where Jade booked a room and they took Melanie upstairs.After they left, a stylish woman in the hotel lobby smirked knowingly. The youngest Severin heiress was actually chec
Daphne's reputation was notorious, so Giselle didn't believe there could be any favorable dealings with her."Sorry, I'm not interested in your proposal," Giselle said, standing up to leave.However, Daphne stopped her and flashed the photo on her phone in front of her. "Ms. Withrow, you should think about it. Are you really going to pass up on such a good opportunity? Jade is just an adopted daughter, but she used her status as future Mrs. Fitzgerald to enter Centus Hospital. Don't you care about her existence?"These words felt like a knife piercing Giselle's heart. When she remembered the way Jade had embarrassed her, her face burned as though it had been slapped multiple times."What exactly do you want in exchange?" Giselle asked.Seeing her soften, Daphne smiled. "Actually, it's not a big deal. Victor has a batch of medical equipment he wants to sell to Fitzgerald Group. I want you to help facilitate this deal. It’s pretty simple."Giselle couldn't help but ponder it. Victo
After helping Melanie settle in, Jade took a shower and went to sleep. The next morning, when she woke up, Melanie was still sleeping. Jade didn't wake her up, leaving a note on the table instead and ordering breakfast for her before leaving the hotel.At work, the nurses at the nurses' station greeted her warmly, not out of deliberate flattery, but genuine affection for Jade as a person."Jade, you were so awesome yesterday," one of them said. Jade strongly disliked being called Ms. Severin, so they had all switched to calling her by her name at her insistence."Yeah, you should've seen Giselle's face yesterday. It was so satisfying," another nurse chimed in.They had been oppressed by Giselle for a long time, so finally letting out their frustration naturally felt like a breath of fresh air.Seeing them getting carried away, Jade reminded them, "Okay, let's stop now and focus on our work."At the nurses' station, Jade commanded almost as much respect as Nancy. As soon as she sp
Since starting work today, Jade hadn't seen Giselle. Normally, this wasn't like Giselle's character, as she was someone who always sought revenge. Such abnormal behavior didn't seem like the real Giselle.Just as Jade was contemplating this, a doctor wearing a mask told her, "Take the body from Room 402 to the morgue."The doctor left after giving her this instruction.Jade turned around, noticing that Kira and the other nurses were not there. She had to go to Room 402 by herself. The body was already covered with a white sheet, but blood was seeping out, making it look somewhat scary.Jade had encountered corpses before, so she naturally wasn't afraid. Without giving it much thought, she pushed the bed toward the morgue on the third floor of the basement.While she rode the elevator down, there was no one around. As Jade pushed the body forward, though, she caught a glimpse of someone. Despite the person's speed, they couldn't escape her eyes—it was Giselle.Jade knew because sh
Since the incident in the morgue, Giselle had been quiet for a few days, so Jade also got several peaceful days to herself.The hospital was busy every day, as the cycle of life and death was never-ending. Jade saw it all, and it worried her deeply. There was something urgent that she had to do.A pandemic would be sweeping the entire nation three months later, spreading rapidly and becoming highly contagious and extremely difficult to cure. Many people would die at the time, and countless others would be left with lingering side-effects.Jade believed that it was necessary for her to use the advantage of her rebirth to do something for humanity. Developing an effective vaccine would be the only way to prevent and treat the virus.Once this idea popped into Jade's mind, she couldn't ignore it. However, developing a vaccine required a large amount of manpower and funding. How could she raise the funds?Jade had thought about asking Leah before, but the Severins were too caught up i
Jade's sharp gaze swept across the banquet hall as she coldly surveyed everything as if it were a battlefield in a war against Giselle. She suddenly spotted a familiar figure.Melanie, who was dressed as a waitress, was weaving through the crowd."Melanie, what are you doing here?" Jade walked over briskly and grabbed Melanie's arm.When Melanie turned around and saw Jade, she asked in surprise, "Jade, what are you doing here?"Jade nodded and pulled Melanie to a secluded corner before asking, "What's going on?""I don't know either. Our boss asked us to come. Someone ordered a lot of drinks at the bar and hired us as waitresses. We’ll get paid 150 dollars for a day," Melanie said without much thought.Jade's heart skipped a beat when she heard this."Just keep an eye out," Jade warned Melanie. She didn't want her good friend to get involved. Melanie nodded in confusion. "Jade, why are you so nervous?""I can't explain it quickly, but just be careful," Jade instructed her bef
"Go back to where you came from and stop daydreaming about things you shouldn't have," Giselle threatened her, her gaze vicious.It turned out that Giselle had her breaking point too. Jade scoffed lightly. "What if I say no?""The price you'll pay is something you can't afford. Like..." Giselle's words trailed off, turning into a scream that echoed through the hall."My diamond earring! Where is it?" shouted a wealthy lady in a panic, frantically searching around. Suddenly, she pointed at Melanie and exclaimed, "It was you! You stole my earring!"Melanie, who was baffled, kept trying to process what was happening when the wealthy lady grabbed her wrist. "You were the only one who passed by me just now. You must have stolen my earring.""I didn't! Don't accuse me!" Melanie was surrounded, and everyone was looking at her as if she were a thief."I never would've thought such a nice girl would turn out to be a thief.""Those scoundrels try every trick in the book to sneak in becaus
The earring arced through the air toward the fountain in the center of the hall. Everyone's eyes widened at that moment, and they all gasped. The fountain was circulating water with a drainage hole, so if the earring got washed away by the water flow, it would be impossible to find it again."Oh no, my diamond earring!" The wealthy lady screamed as she rushed over without a regard for her image. Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, she threw herself into the fountain. Her bulky figure struggled in the pool, resembling a fat seal and creating a messy splatter of water."Haha, she looks so ugly." People chuckled under their breath."Doesn't she resemble a swimming pig?""Hahaha, this is hilarious."From afar, Giselle watched, clenching her fingers around her wine glass until her knuckles turned white. Jade raised her glass at her from a distance, mouthing, 'You lost.'At Jade's provocation, Giselle simply turned away. Although she seemed unaffected, Jade knew she was close to l
