Jenny frowned immediately. She turned to Morgan and said, "Check the patient's condition and let me know if any help is needed."

"Okay, I'll do that!"

Within five minutes, Morgan rushed back to Jenny's office.

"Dr. Walter, please take a look at the patient. His condition seems very se—"

Before Morgan could finish her sentence, Jenny was already out of the office, walking toward the emergency ward. Soon, they both arrived there, where they saw a group of people gathered. Faint sobs could be heard from the crowd.

"Please save my husband, Doctor! I'm begging you! He's only 45 years old! I can't live without him!"

"Don't worry, we are running an examination on him right now. We'll only understand his condition when the test results are out."

Seeing that, Morgan tugged Jenny along as she squeezed through the crowd.

"Excuse me! The doctor is here."

Hearing that, the patient's family members gave way to her quickly, allowing her into the emergency ward.

"What happened?" Jenny asked immediately.

"The patient got into a car accident and is now experiencing a brain hemorrhage. We're checking how much blood he has lost, but his situation doesn't seem too optimistic."

Although the attending doctor of the emergency ward was not acquainted with Jenny, he decided there was no need for an introduction when he saw on her name tag that she was the deputy director of the neurosurgery department.

"Here is the CT scan of his head," informed a nurse loudly as she handed them the report.

Examining the report, the emergency doctor frowned, instantly commenting, "The situation is very dire. Given the large amount of bleeding, he is experiencing a brain herniation due to increased intracranial pressure. Surgery must be performed on him immediately."

Scanning the report, Jenny agreed with a nod, saying, "Alright, let's arrange a surgery."

"But..." began the emergency doctor, seeming somewhat embarrassed, "our hospital isn't capable of this surgery." Craniotomy was no ordinary surgery. "Let's send the patient to a better hospital," he suggested.

"The brain herniation is oppressing his respiratory center. He will die within half an hour if we don't operate immediately. Are you sure we can get him to another hospital in time?" Jenny questioned seriously.

"But there are no doctors here who are capable of this surgery. What can we do if we don't send him to another hospital?" asked the emergency doctor helplessly.

"I'll do it!" Jenny declared.

"You'll do it?" he asked incredulously.

He had heard how an external doctor landed the neurosurgery department's deputy director position. He figured that the woman before him was that person. Was she really capable of such a complex surgery?

"Surgery? What surgery is it?" asked the patient's wife, finally coming to terms with the dire situation. Panic was written all over her face.

Jenny explained to her patiently, "Your husband is in a critical condition. Due to the bleeding in his brain, the intracranial pressure is high, resulting in a brain herniation. A craniotomy must be performed immediately."

"What?" asked the wife. " No! Craniotomy sounds very dangerous. What if he doesn't wake up?"

Although Jenny was wearing a mask, the patient's wife could tell from her voice that she was very young. Was a young doctor like Jenny capable of performing the surgery?

"Please calm down first," interjected Jenny, suddenly raising her voice. It caused everyone to go quiet instantly. "I understand how you feel right now, but no time can be wasted given your husband's situation. He must undergo surgery immediately. I am Dr. Walter, the deputy director of the neurosurgery department here at Parrington Hospital. I will be in charge of your husband's surgery. Rest assured that I will try my best."

No doctor would ever promise a successful surgery.

"Dr. Walter? I haven't heard of her before."

"That's right. She must be scaring us. His condition probably isn't that serious."

"Ah, all doctors do is lie to us so that they can make more money through surgery."

The patient's wife was ready to sign the surgery consent form. However, hearing the murmurings of her relatives, she hesitated.

"I think we should transfer him to a bigger hospital," one of them said.

"No, he can't be transferred!" warned Jenny sternly as she grabbed the speaker. "It takes at least two hours to get to the nearest hospital. Your husband doesn't have that long!"

"Don't listen to her! She's just trying to scare you. Who does she think she is? How can we even trust her? If she wants us to believe her, she'd better get the hospital director to vouch for her. Otherwise, we should transfer him to another hospital immediately."

Their words swayed the patient's wife. If the hospital director vouched for Jenny, it would prove that she was competent.

Jenny was frustrated by the whole situation. Now was not the time for this; time was of the essence!

She felt helpless as there was nothing she could do to stop them. However, if she allowed them to transfer the patient away, wouldn't it mean that she was giving the patient a death sentence? Hence, she reached for her phone, ready to call the director. In any case, a person's life was more important.

"I'll vouch for her!" interrupted a deep voice.

Everyone turned around to look at the source of the voice. Behind them stood a man clad in a fitted black suit, exuding confidence.

    "I'm Alec Faust, the president of Faust Group. If I vouch for her, is that enough for you?" he asked, looking at the patient's wife. Alec from Faust Group was here! There was a mixture of panic, curiosity, and disbelief on everyone's faces. While they may not know Jenny, they all knew who Alec was.Staring at Alec, who often appeared on TV, the patient's wife finally nodded. With such an influential person vouching for Jenny, she figured that Jenny must be a skilled doctor.As they wheeled the patient into the operating theater, Jenny gave Alec a nod before heading inside. Although she was curious why he suddenly showed up to vouch for her, she didn't have time to ask any questions. After all, saving her patient's life was the focus.As the lights in the operating room turned on, a group of people huddled at the door to wait, with Alec among them.Three hours later, the lights in the operating theater dimmed, and a nurse finally exited the room.

  • To Be Yours Again   Chapter 5 Faye’s Condition

    "I don't blame you for not understanding medical law, Mr. Faust. However, I must inform you it prohibits me from practicing outside my place of registration, which happens to be Parrington Hospital, so...you understand, right?" Usually, she would provide a shorter explanation. However, for the sake of her patient, she was willing to go to further lengths."So, you can't perform the surgery in a private hospital?" he asked."Exactly." Jenny didn't want to ruin her career for him. Alec fell quiet. He had not expected such a regulation. "If there's nothing else I can help you with, please allow me to excuse myself. But Mr. Faust, please do make a decision soon."Seeing Alec's hesitation, Jenny knew he didn't want to transfer Faye to Parrington Hospital because he lacked faith in their facilities and services. Since that was the case, there was nothing she could do.Soon, Jenny disappeared from his line of sight. Vincent approached him, asking, "Did Dr. Walter agree to perform the surgery

    "I never joke," she said with a proud smile. Clearly, she was very confident.If she hadn't divorced Alec, she would probably still be living her retirement life, so she wouldn't have had a chance to save Faye. Perhaps it was fate telling her that Faye deserved to live.After a brief discussion about Faye's condition, she and Alec left the room. Only then did the smiles on their faces fade away, their solemn expressions returning. "She should have had an operation earlier.""I know," he admitted, nodding, "but I only just got wind of you.""I'm not the only one in this country who can perform this operation." Jenny stared at him, unable to comprehend why Alec insisted on having her perform the surgery."Yes, others can do it too," replied Alec. He was silent for a moment before he continued, "but I do not dare to take the risk."Jenny's reputation as an internationally renowned neurosurgeon was unrivaled; therefore, Alec preferred to wait until he found Jenny before letting Faye take

    Everyone from the neurosurgery department gathered at Fig Garden for dinner. That night, the spotlight was on Jenny, who had just joined their department."Let's raise our glasses to Dr. Walter. I hope she can lead the neurosurgery department of Parrington Hospital to success," said Dr. Ledger, the director of Parrington Hospital's neurosurgical department.He wasn't exactly a skilled surgeon, but he secured his position with many years of experience. He was initially quite upset that an external doctor secured the position of deputy director. However, after giving it some thought, he concluded that having such a competent neurosurgeon by his side would boost the department's performance, improving his reputation. With that in mind, he regarded Jenny in a better light."Dr. Ledger, you flatter me too much," Jenny said, raising her glass. "Since I can't hold my liquor, I'll drink a toast to you with juice instead." Having said that, she gulped down the juice in the glass.Everyone appl

    When the equipment donated by Alec arrived at Parrington Hospital the next day, the director greeted Alec in person, showing how necessary the equipment was for them.On the other hand, Jenny didn't care about it. She was busy studying the results of Faye's medical examination and discussing possible complications that may arise with other doctors in the department.When the equipment had been installed two hours later, Jenny led her team to the operating theater, where Alec was waiting at the door. Seeing her, he immediately got up and asked, "Are you confident you can do this?"Putting on her surgical mask, Jenny raised her eyes to meet his."If I say I'm not, will you transfer her away?"Alec shut up, unable to form a response. Even if she said she was not confident, Faye still needed the surgery."Don't worry, Mr. Faust. I will do my best." There was no way she would let Faye die on her operating table.The surgical team entered the operating theater. As soon as the lights were tu

    Vincent was stunned by his question. After a moment of thought, he answered, "I think that isn't the case…maybe Dr. Walter just doesn't want to see you—"Before he could finish his sentence, he felt a cold wave sweep across his body and instinctively shivered. When he raised his head, he saw Alec staring at him gloomily. Startled, he realized he had said something wrong."There's no way she hates you!" he corrected himself immediately. "Given your many charms, it is impossible for any woman to hate you, so she must be playing hard to get."He wasn't exactly lying. After all, Alec was the dream boyfriend of Parrington women, and Jenny was the first who treated him like this. That was why he concluded that Jenny was trying to attract his attention in such a manner.But was she really playing hard to get?...A week later, Faye was transferred from the intensive care unit to a general ward. When Jenny and her team went making their rounds, they found her using her phone as she lay on the

    Not understanding the reason behind Jenny's taunting tone, Alec answered solemnly, "We were incompatible, so divorce was the best choice."Incompatible? Jenny sneered secretly. How could he tell they were incompatible when they had never even met once in the two years they were married? It seemed that he never intended to get along with her from the very start. After all, Alec thought his ex-wife was a country bumpkin, unworthy of a man of his status.Her eyes swept over them as she snorted, "Well, I pity your ex-wife, Mr. Faust."Then, she left the ward without looking back, refusing to stay with them for a moment longer. Alec and Faye were truly fated to be together, she thought to herself.However, the moment she stepped out of the ward, someone chased after her. With his tall, looming figure, Alec stood before Jenny, asking, "Are you angry because I was married before?""You're overthinking, Mr. Faust," she replied, somewhat dumbfounded.

    On the car ride away from the hospital, Faye's question was still on Alec's mind.Why did he seem to care so much about Jenny? He couldn't figure out why. Perhaps her strange behavior intrigued him, and he wanted to find out why. Maybe that was all.Suddenly, his phone rang, jarring him from his thoughts. He scratched his forehead in annoyance and answered the call."Speak.""Mr. Faust, I have examined your activities for the past five years, and you haven't met Dr. Walter in any of them. But the strange thing is that no one knows where Dr. Walter went after she retired two years ago, so it was hard to find out her activities for the past two years. Why don't we ask Mr. Wagner for help?"Paul Wagner was an expert when it came to matters of the underground. Whereas they couldn't get the information they wanted through ordinary means, he might have a shot at it. That was the reason Vincent made that suggestion.After a long silence, Vincent thought Alec would agree. To his surprise, Alec

    That afternoon, Gilbert called off his engagement to the Silveras. He did not pick up a single one of Lottie's calls. When he found Marigold, she was taking Caleb on a stroll around the neighborhood. It had been a while since she'd taken notice of anything related to Gilbert. She suddenly felt how nice it was to have her mental energy spent somewhere else, no longer being so hung up on that man. However, when Gilbert appeared before her, her heartbeat quickened. "Why are you here?" Marigold said, snapping out of her reverie. Gilbert smiled lightly. Without saying much else, he pulled her into an embrace. "Didn't you say that I could come to see you once everything is settled?" Marigold was stunned. She was in disbelief. "So, what you're saying is it's all over?" "Didn't you read the news?" Gilbert was speechless. "No. I didn't want to care." Every time she saw anything about Gilbert and Lottie, she felt miserable. She'd rather save herself the pain and block out anything

    In the end, Esther went with Gilbert's suggestion. However, she did not trade Bradshaw Operation's projects with Jenny. She went with the Silveras. For one, she did not trust the Walters. On the other hand, the Silveras and the Bradshaws were going to be united through marriage. They deserved to be trusted more. Gilbert didn't mind. After all, if anything happened to the Bradshaws, the Silveras would not help. With those projects in hand, they would only fall further into debt. The plan was going smoothly. Gilbert had not gone to see Marigold once. He knew that before subduing the Bradshaws, going to visit Marigold would only endanger her. After all, Marigold was safe. Nothing had happened, and Caleb was growing up healthily. One month later, things began to feel off in Bradshaw Operations. After Faust Group received their money, they did not start the project. No one knew what they were doing. Esther was feeling antsy. She prodded Gilbert to ask if there was anything wro

    That very afternoon, Esther and Gilbert rushed to Faust Group to sign the deal. Gilbert said he was worried that Alec would change his mind, so he urged Esther to sign it. Only through a written contract would they be able to relax. Esther thought it made sense and agreed to rush to Faust Group with Gilbert.In the meeting room, Alec looked at the two people before him, expressionless. "You have a good son, Mrs. Bradshaw." "I'm flattered. My son had Bradshaw Operations' interests at heart. He'll inevitably be a little insensitive. Please don't hold that against him, Mr. Faust." Esther smiled. She didn't mind Alec's sarcasm because it didn't matter. As long as Bradshaw Operations could truly benefit from this, she didn't care how much Alec mocked her. Alec smiled coldly and slid the contract over to her. "You may flip through it." Esther took it and read through it seriously.If this project succeeded, they would reap massive rewards. However, it required a massive upfront inv

    In the following days, Gilbert headed over to Faust Group infrequently during the day. To others, he was there to talk business with Alec. But in reality, it was a different scenario altogether. Vincent brought Gilbert a cup of coffee in Alec's office. Because of all the times he'd been there, Vincent knew what he wanted without having to ask. Alec had a cup of coffee placed before him, too. Everyone thought that Gilbert was trying to convince Alec to give him one of the shares, which was why he always came there, but that was not the case. The collaboration was a set-up. As long as the Bradshaws signed the deal on the project, they would not escape unscathed. Gilbert had planned this for a long time just to trick the Bradshaws into accepting the project. However, the scheme had to be executed perfectly. Since Gilbert buttered up the project in front of the Bradshaws, Alec had to feign disinterest in his collaboration. Otherwise, it would seem suspicious if Alec, a smart ma

    After the engagement party, Gilbert officially had a stronghold in Bradshaw operations. Because he was already very capable, he had a lot of supporters. No one challenged him in the company. Most of them sucked up to him because they knew that if things went well, he would be the heir of the company.Gilbert didn't really care about that. He didn't even want to be there for long. He knocked on Esther's door and walked into her office."Come, sit." Esther was all smiles when she saw him. It was more sincere than before.She used to doubt him a lot, but now, although she still had her reservations, she mostly believed in him. In her eyes, no one would reject the chance to inherit Bradshaw Operations. This was basically manna from Heaven. Gilbert just didn't know it back then, and now he did. Gilbert sat down in front of Esther and began reporting the information he had gathered, as well as his thoughts on Bradshaw Operations and his plans for the future.When he presented the inf

    Gilbert and Lottie's engagement party was held at Bardoff Grand Hotel on Saturday.A ton of people showed up to their engagement party. After all, the Bradshaws and the Silveras were pretty big names in Bardoff City, and plenty of the other families knew of their true wealth. They all came to attend the party. Jenny and Alec had both received invites. Jenny was Gilbert's sister, and on top of that, they represented the Walters and the Fausts. It was to be expected. At first, Jenny didn't want to go. The party held no meaning to it. It was just a show put on for Esther. It would be a complete waste of her time. However, she was talked into it by Alec. It would be weird if she didn't go. Zack brought Janet to the party. He found Jenny and was in a daze. "Wasn't Gilbert courting Marigold? Why is he engaged to Lottie?" Jenny rolled her eyes. "What have you been doing, Zack? You're really bad at keeping up." Gilbert had been courting Lottie for a while now. If Zack paid attention

    Gilbert drove to Jenny's villa, but he was in no rush to get down. He didn't unlock the doors, either. He obviously wanted to talk to Marigold. But Marigold evidently didn't want to. "I want to take my child and leave." She was afraid. What if Gilbert and Lottie married and took her child away? She no longer believed in love. The only thing she believed in was her child. Gilbert tightened his grip when he heard that. "Marigold, the engagement is only for Esther to see. I have no feelings for Lottie." "Who knows? People change. You said you didn't have feelings for me, too." Marigold found this all very amusing. Perhaps this was fate. Gilbert wanted to keep explaining, but Marigold did not give him the chance to. "Just let me and Caleb leave. If what you say is true, you can come to find us once everything is over." And if Gilbert didn't come looking for her, the truth would unfold itself, and she would give up all hope. Gilbert understood that Marigold had already made

    Marigold was miserable throughout dinner, but she persevered till the end without being too dramatic. After dinner, they walked to the entrance of the shopping mall.Gilbert went to get the car. Lottie stood with Jenny and Marigold. Watching Gilbert leave, she turned toward Marigold. "I heard that you used to like Gilbert very much." "It's all in the past. It's not worth mentioning." Marigold didn't want to talk about it. She was afraid that Lottie would see that she still liked Gilbert. Most importantly, she was afraid that Gilbert's plan would be ruined. Lottie smiled. "That's true. The past is the past. You're such a nice person. You'll definitely be able to find someone better suited for you in the future." Marigold pursed her lips. Gilbert soon brought the car over. Lottie was about to get into the car, but before she did, she suddenly turned to Marigold and said, "Gilbert and my engagement party will be in a few days' time. If you have the time, you're more than welcom

    Everyone was shocked to hear her speak so suddenly. Lottie was stunned, and she explained, "You've misunderstood. That's not what I meant. I just think that if the child follows his father, it'll help him develop better, and you'll be less stressed." "I don't need your concern. I can raise my child alone," Marigold snorted. She did not hold back at all. Lottie looked unpleasant. Gilbert had no choice but to step in. "We'll have our own child together. And whoever likes it the most will get to keep it." Although they knew that Gilbert had meant this for Lottie to hear, Marigold found it extremely upsetting. She looked at Gilbert, and for a moment, she was unable to tell if he was being genuine. She thought of all that Gilbert had said to her last night, saying that he didn't like Lottie and had no intention of marrying her. But he looked to be truly in love. Marigold didn't think she could tell if he was faking it. "I'm sorry. I need to go to the restroom." Marigold didn't w
