Maxwell's eyes lit up, and he went to open the door himself. However, he only saw Rachel in a wheelchair.Disappointment flashed in Maxwell's eyes and he glared at the secretary. "Who did you say was here?"The secretary was confused. But they still tried to flatter Rachel and said with a smile, "It's Mrs. Lance!"After all, Rachel's belly was already showing. She would become Mrs. Lance sooner or later! Wasn't the best option to flatter her?Of course, Rachel smiled from ear to ear after hearing this. It felt nice to be respected.However, Maxwell sneered at the secretary. "You're fired."The secretary was dumbfounded. "What… What did I do, Mr. Lance?""You lied!" Maxwell glared at her and yelled, "Leave! Now!"The secretary was devastated from being fired and ran away crying.Rachel was in an awkward situation as the caregiver wheeled her in.She asked the caregiver to leave, leaving only her and Maxwell.The man spoke lowly, "Your body hasn't fully recovered yet. You shou
Rachel believed that as long as Jennifer was out of the picture, Maxwell would return to her side. His resistance now was nothing more than lingering regrets from his time with Jennifer. Rachel sneered to herself. She had all the time in the world. One day, Maxwell surely would change his mind.…Days flew by. In the blink of an eye, more than a month went by. Jennifer had returned to the Yale residence and had not stepped inside Maxwell's place. It was as if Maxwell had never existed in her life. During the day, Jennifer would occupy herself with her busy internship. But every night, memories flooded over her."Jennifer Yale! What are you daydreaming about again?" Khloe scolded. "I told you to run a scan on the patient. Did you do it?"Jennifer calmly handed the report to her. "It's done."Khloe was unhappy she couldn't find any faults and snapped, "Several patients were uncomfortable during the night shift yesterday. You couldn't even handle such trivial matters and I had
At that moment, Jennifer panicked and ran off.Rachel also noticed Jennifer and immediately pretended to have a stomach ache. She moaned in pain. "Maxwell, my stomach is hurting again. Can you bring me to see the doctor?"Over the past month, she had been gentle and considerate, never bringing up the prospect of marriage. Her efforts seemed to have gained some of Maxwell's favor.Although Maxwell hadn’t given Rachel a title, he never missed a prenatal checkup and often made time to accompany her to buy prenatal books and baby supplies. Rachel didn’t want Maxwell to fall for Jennifer again. She couldn’t let all her efforts go to waste.…In the stairwell, Jennifer leaned against the wall with tears in her eyes. Just then, someone handed a blue handkerchief to her. Jennifer recognized the handkerchief. She looked up in surprise at Maxwell and instinctively asked, "How did you know I was here?""I made a guess." Maxwell smiled gently and inched the handkerchief closer to her.
Jennifer changed the subject. "By the way, where are the gloves you said you'd give me?" Quincy cheerfully took them out. "Here. Do you like them?" The gloves were made with red wool. There were even two white deer antlers sewn on it. It was adorable. Jennifer was touched. "They're beautiful. Thank you, Quincy."Quincy blushed at Jennifer's sincerity and waved her off. "You're too kind. They're not worth much, anyway." Jennifer put the gloves on. "How do I look?""You look great." Quincy smiled. "See, this is how it should be. We girls should treat ourselves better and not be affected by those who aren't worth it, right?" Jennifer knew what she meant.She looked at the warm gloves and recalled the messages Laura sent her every few days.Jennifer consoled herself. There were still many wonderful things to focus on. She shouldn't let the past tie her down.To cheer her up, Quincy suggested, "How about this? Let's take an afternoon nap and watch a movie tonight."Jennifer
Nathan walked over. "You're working hard, Jennifer. Everyone else has left, and you're still working overtime."Jennifer greeted him shyly, "Hello, Dr. Lowe."Although she wanted to complain about Khloe, she knew that all doctors would exploit interns. It was an endless cycle. Moreover, someone in Nathan's position wouldn't understand the struggles of interns like her. So, Jennifer just wanted to finish her work quickly. She would be better off sharing her complaints with Quincy.But the night shift doctor suddenly piped up, "Dr. Lowe, you're not usually around so you wouldn't know. But the truth is that Khloe often demands Jennifer to work overtime. Jennifer was on the night shift last night. Yet she's still working even now."Nathan was taken aback. He observed Jennifer closely. His expression suddenly turned grim. "How much work do you have left? And what kind of work are they?"Jennifer truthfully listed the tasks Khloe had assigned to her. Nathan's frown deepened. "Stop
Under Khloe's jealous gaze, Jennifer and the other doctor followed Nathan to the operating room. After they left, Khloe angrily threw the patient records on the ground. She had come here late at night to learn from Nathan, not to do these menial tasks! What was more infuriating was that she had to cover the night shift despite not having had enough rest since yesterday's night shift. She hated Jennifer even more now. Jennifer must have said something to Nathan. That would explain why she was being treated this way. Nathan had always valued her before and even said she had a promising future!…Jennifer was very nervous as she followed Nathan to the operating room. After all, knowing medical theories was different from practical ones. Jennifer thought she had everything memorized. But she still found herself flustered in the operating room. Nathan was extremely patient. Despite his high position, his reputation was well-deserved. From hand washing, and donning gowns, to va
Jennifer couldn't bring herself to refuse. "I... thank you, Dr. Lowe.""Get in," Nathan said, opening the passenger door for her like a gentleman. "What would you like to eat?"Jennifer suggested, "It's late, why don't we check out the street fair? There should still be some food truck there.""Sounds good." Nathan looked interested, showing no signs of tiredness. "I've spent many years abroad and haven't had the chance to visit Haven City's street fairs much. Are you talking about the one near Haven University?""Yes." Jennifer smiled shyly. "I'm more familiar with that area and know where the good food is."As Nathan observed Jennifer, he felt her innocence and youth radiating off her. Jennifer suddenly thought of something. "Dr. Lowe, the street fair is mostly food vendors. Would you find it... unsanitary?"After all, Maxwell was obsessed with cleanliness and would find even the restaurants near Haven University dirty, let alone the street vendors. Worried that Nathan mig
The next morning at 8:00 am, Khloe's anger flared when Jennifer didn't show up."Look at the time! It's already 7:50 am, yet where is Jennifer? Why isn't she here yet!" She was about to call the university and complain. Nathan suddenly walked in. "I told her to take a day off. Do you have a problem with that, Ms. Carter?"Khloe froze and mumbled awkwardly, "Well... We are supposed to work from Monday to Friday, Dr. Lowe. The interns would become spoiled if you indulge them."Nathan said expressionlessly, "I assume you often make interns work on weekends, right? In that case, why can't they rest on weekdays?"Khloe was speechless. And with most of her colleagues here during the morning handover, Khloe's cheeks burned with embarrassment. She was fuming inside. Jennifer sure was something else. How dare she seduce someone like Nathan?Who knows how arrogant Jennifer would be in the future?Khloe bet Nathan didn't know about Jennifer's affair with Maxwell! Jennifer was only good
