"Dr. Walter!" Alec gnashed his teeth.Jenny looked nonchalant. She really wished to see him panic, but as a doctor, she couldn't do that to a patient.Yes, a patient. In her eyes, Alec was a patient.No one would pass out because they were afraid of the dark unless they had severe psychological issues or had experienced something that would make them react negatively to the dark."I was joking." Jenny put the phone back and said righteously, "Although I don't like you, I'm not the type to rub salt in someone's wound."Alec cradled the phone in his hands and looked at her. "You've admitted that you don't like me.""Yeah. There's nothing much to admit." In the darkness, with no one around, they began to talk."Why?" Alec asked. "I don't remember hurting you.""You've hurt me tons of times." Jenny shot him a look. He wouldn't be reacting this way if he knew that it was his ex-wife in the elevator with him.Alec frowned. He stared at Jenny. "Such as?""Such as the Walkers." Jenny
"Tell me." Alec's interest was piqued. Someone was actually giving him a suggestion. This was new to him."I don't think you're just afraid of the dark. There might be a few underlying issues. You should see a therapist," she said.It wasn't a big problem, but neither was it insignificant. With someone as stressed as Alec, having something bottled up in his heart would make it worse.She had spoken with good intentions, but her words made his expression darken instantly. He emanated an aura that could make anyone shiver. She said exasperatedly, "It's just a condition, Mr. Faust. You don't have to be so defensive.""That's enough!" Alec roared. He stared at Jenny like she was his enemy. "You don't have to worry about my problems." He turned and slammed his door shut."This guy…" Jenny was speechless and infuriated.Back at home, Jenny made herself some instant noodles. She was still fuming. Her good intentions had been thrown in her face. As she grumbled to herself, the doorbell r
The next day at Parrington Hospital, Jenny received a phone call from Zack right after completing a surgery."You're being investigated," he said. "They're pretty good. You can't hide your whereabouts in the country for much longer."Jenny was intrigued. "It's okay, Zack. So what if they find out about me? There are no skeletons in my closet.""I thought you didn't want Alec to find out," Zack said playfully.Jenny smiled nonchalantly. "I don't really care if he does. And if he doesn't ask, I won't bring it up." Based on Zack's words, she suspected that it was Alec who was investigating her. It was possible."Are you busy lately? You seem to have surgery to perform every day," Zack said. He wasn't in the country, so he wasn't caught up with Jenny."Yeah, but it's fine. It prevents me from overthinking."They chatted for a little while longer before saying their goodbyes. Jenny was about to carry on with her work, but someone knocked on her door.The person walked in quickly. Sh
They stared at each other. Jenny saw a flash of hatred in his eyes.She was sure that she hadn't done anything against him, much less anything that would invoke his wrath. What was the source of his rage? Was it Alec?In an instant, realization dawned on her."I'm not interested in Alec, either," she replied. "I don't know what grudges you two hold against each other, but I want no part of it.""That's a stretch. I'm only interested in you." Max went back to normal in the blink of an eye. His cheerful demeanor looked nothing like someone who would want to kill his own father."Well, I refuse," she said.Max wasn't angry. He stood, smiling. "It's okay. There is time, still. I believe that I will make you like me one day."Before waiting for Jenny to reply, he left the office.Jenny was speechless. What a day it was.She had another surgery scheduled for that afternoon. Right as she was about to prepare, Morgan rushed up to her."Dr. Walter, there's a patient in the emergency r
Jenny thought that the woman before her was strange. Her son was perfectly fine, but she insisted on getting him surgery. It was weird in every way.At this moment, a small warm hand pulled at her. Jenny turned to see that it was the teenager on the bed. She asked patiently, "What's wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable?""I don't want to have surgery," he said softly, as if afraid that his mother would hear.Jenny's eyes darkened. There was something else afoot, but her phone rang before she could say anything else. It was a call from the operating room.She instantly felt a headache coming."Please do the other patient's surgery, Dr. Walter. I will handle this," the doctor said.Jenny looked at the patient's family, who were crowded around the door, and Joey, who was on the bed. "Don't worry. You don't need to have one," she assured him. "Just listen to this doctor, and he will treat you.""Okay." Joey nodded. He seemed relieved that he didn't need surgery.After telling the docto
Seeing that Alec was actually furious, Max dared not provoke him anymore. He was no match for Alec, but he wouldn't let this go just like that.Alone, he was no match for Alec, but he had the Pearsons. It could be a fair fight."What are you here for?" Alec stared at the red roses in his hands. They pierced his eyes.Max shrugged. He looked at the operating room. "I'm pursuing the the woman of my dreams, of course. What do you think?"The woman of his dreams? In just one night, Dr. Walter had become that person to him. "I've warned you to stay away from her." Alec gnashed his teeth. If not for the people around them, he would have punched Max in the face.Max rolled his eyes. "Aren't you being too controlling, Mr. Faust? Are you involved with Dr. Walter somehow?"As Faye listened to them, she felt her jealousy driving her insane.Max Pearson wanted to pursue Dr. Walter. And based on Alec's reaction, he also seemed to have feelings for her.Why was this happening? Why were two
"What's wrong?" A strong sense of unease washed over Jenny. Her heartbeat quickened."Something's happened to that boy from this afternoon." Morgan was anxious. "After you left, his mother insisted on switching hospitals. We had no choice but to agree. We thought it was just a mild concussion, so it wouldn't matter if they went to another hospital. But then the emergency center received a call saying that there was a patient in a private hospital with massive head bleeding. We asked about the patient and learned that it was the boy. His mother brought him to a private hospital for surgery!"Jenny's expression shifted. She asked hurriedly, "Where is he?""He's still on the way here. The paramedics in the ambulance say it's really serious and that we must be prepared. I'm here to get you," Morgan said.Jenny had no time to figure out what their underlying intention was. "Get the Blood Transfusion Unit to prepare blood bags and tell everyone to get ready," she ordered Morgan. "The mom
Jenny walked toward the patient.On the stretcher, the young boy, who had been so full of life this afternoon, was now lying motionlessly. He was so pale that anyone's heart would ache at the sight of him."Get him to the operating room now," Jenny ordered.But then, the woman came back to her senses. She cut Jenny off. "I'm not going to let you touch my son. You've already harmed him so badly. Do you want to kill him?"As she spoke, her gaze flitted toward the stretcher. A ball of exasperation burned in her chest. Why wasn't he dead yet? If it weren't for the other hospital being too afraid to take responsibility, she wouldn't have transferred him back here. She would simply have dragged his corpse over, and Dr. Walter wouldn't get smart with her now."Are you fucking sick? Your son is dying, but you're not letting us save him. Do you want him dead?" Morgan couldn't resist herself anymore. She wished to punch the woman."Move!" Jenny suppressed her anger, anxiously wanting to sa
