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
Agnes staggered. She couldn't help but cry angrily, "Years ago, you threatened me to keep my mouth shut. And after all this time, you still talk to me like this. Do you still consider me your mother?"Zion remained silent for a while before responding, his voice filled with pain, "If it weren't for you constantly making things difficult for Jasmine, bringing Jocelyn into our home, and continuously provoking her, we wouldn't have ended up divorced. "You often ask why I treat Jennifer so well. It's because Jasmine cherished her more than herself! Taking care of Jennifer is my way of compensating Jasmine. What difference does it make if she is my biological daughter? To me, she is our child!"Agnes felt a pang of regret. If only she hadn't opposed Zion's marriage to Jasmine or insisted on bringing Jocelyn and Bridget into their home. Perhaps their family wouldn't be in such chaos now.…At Haven University's affiliated hospital, Quincy exited the hospital and saw Jennifer standing b
Quincy huffed. "I'm not a romantic like you. I'm not planning to get into any relationship for now. I need to focus on getting into a good graduate program and securing a position in a reputable hospital.""Alright, fine. Focus on your dreams!" Jennifer rolled her eyes playfully.The two of them playfully bantered while setting up candles and making wishes. Jennifer spent the entire day feeling fulfilled and happy. Quincy kept thanking her after she dropped her off in the evening. "Alright, remember, you're not alone in Haven City. You have me!" Jennifer said. "So, no more posting such depressing posts on your social media."After Quincy entered the dorm, Jennifer headed home. On the way, she received a call from Maxwell. After some hesitation, she declined the call. She wasn't sure why Maxwell was trying to contact her, but she had decided to move on from the past. She didn't think there was any need for them to stay in touch.But her phone kept ringing persistently. Jen
Maxwell was also in great distress, but he comforted Jennifer, "The doctor said that Grandpa's previous tumor grew in a dangerous place. If it hadn't been for your mother, Grandpa wouldn't have survived. However, this tumor has a high chance of recurring. Once it does, there's no chance of survival."They stayed by Robert's bedside the entire time. Robert finally showed some reaction when dawn broke.Maxwell quickly called the doctor.After examining Robert, the doctor sighed in relief. "Your grandfather is strong. He's already showing signs of waking up!""Really?" Maxwell finally breathed a sigh of relief. "I've heard that your hospital's neurosurgery department is renowned. Please, do your best to save my grandfather."The doctor sighed and shook his head. "To be honest, given your grandfather's condition, there's no need for further treatment. As his family, you should accompany him through his final moments and ensure he moves on without regrets. That is also a form of filial
Jennifer looked down at the floor to avoid Robert's gaze.To be honest, she admired Robert's acceptance of death, but she couldn't bring herself to say goodbye to him. Jennifer knew it was pointless to continue the treatment and that it would only bring more pain to Robert. Subjecting an old man to chemotherapy at his age would be nothing short of torture.Jennifer nodded. "I understand, Grandpa. I'll make sure to make you happy every day.""That's a good girl. I always knew I made the right choice with you." Robert chuckled. "Maxwell is lucky to have married you."Jennifer couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. Thankfully, Robert didn't know that she and Maxwell were divorced. Although Robert had awakened, he was still weak and soon fell asleep. Jennifer went to look for Maxwell once he was asleep. She found him sitting on a bench outside the hospital.Jennifer hurried over. "Grandpa finally woke up. Are you sure you want to waste the little time left by not being with him
Jennifer hesitated. Although she felt awkward about it, she gritted her teeth and agreed when she thought of Robert. "Okay, I'll do my best."Maxwell found the situation between him and Jennifer truly ironic. They could have been a loving couple. Yet they grew distant, ending up in this situation. Even their marriage felt like an act.Jennifer checked the time. "I need to return to my internship. It's almost 8:00 am, time for the handover."She hadn't gone to work yesterday. If she were absent again, Khloe would definitely not let her off the hook.Noticing the dark circles under her eyes, Maxwell suggested, "You had been up all night watching over Grandpa. Are you okay with working right now? Why don't you take the day off? I'll take you home to rest.""I'm fine," Jennifer refused. "I should go. I'll come back to see Grandpa after work."Maxwell watched her retreating figure, feeling lost.…By the time Jennifer arrived at the cardiac surgery department, the handover had alrea
Jennifer smiled sheepishly. "You flatter me, Dr. Lowe. I know my worth."Nathan chuckled. "Haha, I'm sure you're worth a lot then."Jennifer giggled at the joke. She hadn't expected the usually serious Nathan to have such a sense of humor.As they returned to the department, they heard a commotion inside. Jennifer and Nathan exchanged glances and quickly walked inside. To their surprise, they found a crowd gathered around the nurses' station, with several people in the middle loudly arguing loudly. Nathan said to Jennifer, "You head back to the office first. I'll check it out."He hurried over and pushed through the crowd. Only then did he see Khloe being dragged around by one of the patient's family members.Nathan was shocked and immediately yelled, "What's going on? Everyone, calm down! We can discuss this peacefully."One of the family members eyed him suspiciously. "Are you in charge? Can you make decisions?""Yes, I'm in charge. I can make decisions here," Nathan answere
