Jennifer snapped back to her senses and quickly shook her head. Her eyes were red with tears.Nathan handed her a cup of water. "Drink this to calm down. Then tell me everything that happened."Jennifer took the water and looked at him with uncertainty. "Will you… believe me?"Nathan said patiently, "How can I believe and help you if you don't tell me the whole story?"Jennifer finally stopped holding back and began softly, "Actually, I feel anxious every time I'm on duty with Ms. Carter. She makes me handle everything and forbids me from calling her. But I'm just an intern. How would I know how to handle patients? She gets impatient every time I call her. That night, I really did call her. I knocked on her office door three times. And she kept saying she'd check on the patient later."Nathan couldn't believe his ears. "Is it always like this when you're on duty with her?"Jennifer sighed. "If I call her too many times at night, she gives me a lot of tasks the next day, making it

Khloe glared at Jennifer and demanded, "What did you say to Dr. Lowe?"Jennifer met her gaze fearlessly. "I only told the truth. Ms. Carter, you can't change the truth. I'm sure you know why you didn't check on that patient that night. I still view you as my mentor. Don't you think you should take responsibility for your mistakes?""Shut up!" Khloe trembled with rage and gritted her teeth. "You didn't notify me! If I had known that the patient had chest pain, I would have ordered a full body check-up. Jennifer, do you think anyone will believe you? Do you think I would make such a novice mistake?"Jennifer felt a surge of anger welling up. "You are truly despicable, Ms. Carter."Under Khloe's furious gaze, Jennifer stormed off.Shortly after, Khloe entered Nathan's office. As soon as she stepped in, she said, "Dr. Lowe, don't listen to Jennifer's excuses. She's the one responsible for this accident.""Her? An intern?" Nathan was furious. Unlike his usual gentle self, he yelled, "

Khloe sneered at Nathan's grim expression. "Dr. Lowe, I don't know what kind of relationship you have with Jennifer, but you're defending her and trying to make me take the fall. However, if you knew about the shameless things she has done behind the scenes, I guarantee you would regret helping her!"Nathan frowned. "I don't care who she is. But I know she is a brave, righteous, and kind-hearted person—unlike you, who spouts lies and twists the truth! I will report this to the board. You've gotten yourself into big trouble this time, and I can't protect you.""Go ahead. But you have no evidence, do you?" Khloe quirked a brow. "At worst, I'll drag Jennifer down with me. If you can't protect me, you won't be able to protect her either! After all, I've worked at this hospital for ten years. Who do you think the board would side with?"Nathan's temples throbbed with anger. The usually calm and composed Nathan was infuriated like never before. He glared at Khloe. "You'd better pray I don

"How dare you talk back!" Maxwell scolded her sharply.However, Rachel could tell that Maxwell's heart wasn't really in it. He was yelling at the caregiver not because she hadn't taken good care of Rachel, but because Rachel had fallen and called him over.Rachel quickly chimed in, "Maxwell, don't blame her. I wanted to try to stand up and return to the dance studio. So, I did a little practice.""How do you feel now?" Maxwell asked with concern. "Is your stomach still hurting? Should I take you to the hospital?"Rachel smiled and shook her head. "As soon as I saw you, I felt fine. I think the baby just missed their dad, so they've been kicking me."Maxwell sighed, his expression still cold and stern. "Starting tomorrow, have the caregiver accompany you for your prenatal check-ups. Something came up at home recently, and I can't free myself up."Rachel was stunned and immediately grew alert. "What happened? Is it serious?"Maxwell nodded. "Yes, my grandfather is seriously ill. I

What was the point in getting Jennifer and Maxwell to get divorced if it didn't change anything?Rachel probed, "You're not your grandfather. How would you know he'd be upset to find out he has a great-grandson?"Maxwell left no room for discussion. "I know my grandfather well. So, you mustn't show your face around him. Otherwise, the consequences would be grim if he gets upset."Rachel could only give up and reluctantly agreed. "Got it. I won't go then."After a while, Maxwell said, "Since you're fine, I'll be leaving now. Remember what I said, take care of yourself. And don't visit Grandpa.""You're not staying for dinner?" Rachel grabbed him, reluctant to let go. "You'll be taking care of your grandfather tomorrow and won't have time for me. Can't we even have dinner together?"Maxwell grew impatient and he gently pushed Rachel away. "I don't have an appetite. You can eat by yourself!"With that, he hurriedly left Rachel's house.Rachel was frustrated and smashed the glass c

Jennifer furrowed her brows. "What's wrong?"Maxwell lowered his voice. "Have you forgotten what you promised me? Even if it's just an act, we need to show Grandpa we're a loving couple. We both agreed to take care of Grandpa here, so why are you sleeping somewhere else and leaving me alone here? What will Grandpa think?"Jennifer stared hesitantly at the bed and whispered, "But this bed isn't big enough for two people."A smile tugged at the corner of Maxwell's lips and he said solemnly, "We can squeeze in."Jennifer bit her lip. She and Maxwell were already divorced. How could they sleep on the same bed? Even talking to him now felt awkward.Maxwell suddenly leaned in and softly whispered, "Jennifer, I won't touch you. We'll just be sleeping, nothing else. Don't worry, okay?"Jennifer stared at him through her lashes timidly. She felt like Maxwell was a wolf preparing to pounce on their prey.But Robert would want to see her and Maxwell happily together in his dying days. Even

"I've been in bed for two days! My legs are numb." Robert chuckled heartily. "Since I can still move around, I'm not wasting the opportunity!"Maxwell and Jennifer felt a pang in their hearts. How should they prolong Robert's life?Just then, Robert wiggled his brows. "I hope I didn't disturb your rest. You can sleep a little longer. It's still early, after all! It's not even 7:00 am yet!"Jennifer blushed, embarrassed at the thought of waking up in Maxwell's arms.On the other hand, Maxwell calmly replied, "Grandpa, we had a good night's rest and are ready to wake up."Robert nodded. "I'm glad to see you two like this."Maxwell added, "Then we'll be here with you every night from now on."Jennifer was shocked by this. Every night? Was Maxwell doing this on purpose? Did he want to continue sleeping with her like last night?However, Robert glanced at Jennifer. "Wouldn't that be too much of a sacrifice for Jennifer? Are you getting enough sleep here?"Jennifer feared Robert mig

After a brief pause, Quincy asked, "Are you in your department? I'll come to find you. I heard our department head talking about it this morning. I've been worried sick about you.""I'm not in the department," Jennifer replied dejectedly. "My supervisor told me to take a break for a few days and lay low."Quincy hesitated before saying sympathetically, "Okay, let's talk at lunch. I need to go on rounds with my attending physician now."Jennifer felt even more depressed after ending the call. The obstetrics and gynecology department and the surgical department were not in the same building. In fact, they were far apart. Yet, even Quincy had heard about the incident. That meant almost everyone in the hospital had learned about it. Worse, even the other department heads were using Jennifer as a negative example. …At noon, Jennifer headed to the hospital cafeteria after feeding Robert. Quincy had already gotten lunch for Jennifer. "Shall we eat somewhere else? Or better yet, l

After visiting Harry, Simon left the prison with a heavy heart.He drove along a mountain road, letting the cool air blow against his face. He smoked a few cigarettes to clear his mind before finally heading home.It was late when he got back. Laura was in the kitchen trying to make something to eat. Simon sighed and walked over. "Go rest. I'll handle this."He took the ladle from her and began cooking.Laura didn't leave. Instead, she stood to the side, lost in thought. When had Simon started becoming this gentle? He used to be so distant and untouchable.She had been with him for five years, yet she had never known he could cook.Deep down, Laura wished he stayed the same cold and unreachable figure. At least then, she could keep her feelings in check.Simon asked, "Why aren't you resting?""I… I've been lying down all day. I just wanted to stand for a bit." She came up with an excuse. After a brief pause, she hesitantly asked, "Did you smoke?"Simon only then noticed the

Harry finally realized Simon had orchestrated everything. He had believed the Jensens were the mastermind behind this.Suddenly, thoughts of his daughter flooded his mind. He tried to stand up and confront Simon, but the handcuffs and shackles restrained him, forcing him to remain seated.Harry glared at Simon. "What have you done to my daughter? Tell me! What exactly have you done to her?"Simon smirked. "Nothing much. I simply taught her how to serve me, please me, and keep me happy."Harry's heart dropped. The thought of his daughter, whom he had lovingly raised and cherished, reduced to Simon's plaything after his imprisonment, tore his heart to pieces.It was a fate worse than death. "You! What happened to your father back then was my fault! I take full responsibility!" Harry's voice trembled, "But Laura is innocent. I beg you, let her go. Don't hurt her! You can kill me if you want. I'm begging you. Please, let Laura go!" Simon gazed at the desperate man before him. Ye
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1194
It was as if Simon blamed Laura for always asking stubborn questions.Their relationship was far from normal. He didn't understand why she insisted on getting to the bottom of everything.Laura's heart dropped. She returned to the bedroom, feeling utterly lost. Her heart ached. Simon was the most ruthless, selfish, and self-serving man she had ever met.Everything she had endured last night seemed insignificant to him. What mattered to him was that his mother hadn't caused her death, sparing him from any trouble.Around noon, Simon entered the bedroom.Laura was sitting on the rocking chair by the window, staring outside. The once-proud Laura now carried a sense of melancholy.Simon's heart tightened seeing her pale face. Unfortunately, apologizing wasn't his strong suit. He was too prideful for that.Still, he walked over to her and stroked her hair. "Don't take what I said to my mother earlier to heart. It wasn't aimed at you. Laura, you've been with me for five years. I thoug
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1193
Simon's words comforted Laura.After finishing the soup, she burrowed back under the covers. She peeked out to gaze at Simon, who was working on the couch. She could never get enough of him no matter how long she looked.Even though she knew she was being pathetic, she couldn't help herself. She was charmed by Simon. Every move he made exuded the poise and charisma of a mature man. Especially when he was focused on his work, it always stirred a sense of admiration in her.Eventually, drowsiness took over, and she drifted off to sleep again. She wasn't sure how long she slept. But later, she groggily heard Simon's voice as he spoke on the phone.Simon was on the balcony, talking to Fiona. Fiona feigned innocence. "How would I know she was on the balcony? I just noticed it was about to rain and wanted to close the balcony door for you."Simon's tone sharpened. "Mom, there's no point in making these excuses. We're mother and son. I can see right through you. If you pull another st
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1192
Laura understood Simon was technically still single since he wasn't married yet. She could still deceive herself and live in denial. But he would become someone else's husband once he married. Would she want to be his mistress?If it came to that, even she would despise herself.Simon hummed. "You can decide for yourself when that time comes. You can leave if you don't want to stay with me. But my promise will be void. You'd better believe me when I say, only I can save your father."Looking at Simon's emotionless face, Laura suddenly realized how cruel and cold-hearted he truly was. The feelings she thought they shared, the love and devotion she had poured her heart and youth into, were but a transaction in his eyes.Laura nodded. "Then let's set a deadline. I'll give you one year. If, after one year, my father's case remains unchanged, then we'll… cut ties."Simon replied calmly, "Fine, as you wish. Now get some rest."Only then did Laura close her eyes and stop resisting his t
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1191
Simon didn't give Laura any chance to react. He took a sip and then lowered his head before capturing her lips.Laura's eyes widened as Simon forced her to swallow the soup. She pounded on his shoulders before Simon let her go.He demanded, "I'll have no choice but to feed you like this if you don't drink the soup and take your medicine."Laura glared at him, her face flushed with both anger and embarrassment. She grabbed the bowl and downed the soup in one go. Then, she took the cold medicine he handed her.Simon finally relaxed and tucked her in. "Sleep."But how could Laura possibly fall asleep? Especially when Simon lay down beside her, pulling her into his embrace. She gritted her teeth. "Can you not touch me? I'm begging you. Don't touch me!"Simon didn't respond. He held her tightly, his warmth radiating through the thin fabric of her pajamas.Later, he noticed Laura was trembling and thought she was cold.When he turned her to face him, he realized her eyes were red, an

A sharp pain pierced Simon's chest. In the next instant, he held Laura tightly, as though trying to shield her from the cold. But still, she trembled uncontrollably. Without hesitation, he rushed to fill the bathtub with warm water and slowly placed her into it.Simon stroked Laura's pale face, then gently instructed, "Stay in the bath for a while. I'll make you some peppermint tea. If you start running a fever later, we might need to go to the hospital."Having said that, he turned to leave the bathroom. But as soon as he closed the door, he heard her crying.Simon froze in his tracks, then turned and rushed back in. He quickly undressed and stepped into the tub before pulling her into his arms. "I'm sorry, Laurie. I'm so sorry I came home so late," he apologized in a hoarse voice. "I-I didn't know they would—""Go away! Don't touch me!"Laura shoved him away with all her strength. Her voice broke as she screamed, "While you were happily spending time with your family, I was
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1189
As soon as Simon finished speaking, he froze. He had repeated what Laura had told him that day, almost exactly.He was a lawyer. Yet, his response was far from professional. Laura's words and actions had crept into his thoughts without him even realizing it. The realization unsettled him, leaving him feeling irritated.Meanwhile, William avoided Simon's gaze, guilt written all over his face. "Why are you bringing this up again? I've already told you. Those people came from some poor countryside. They don't deserve one million dollars."Besides, who in the right mind would complain about having too much money? If I can settle this with 200 thousand dollars, why should I pay a million? Didn't you say you found evidence to clear Brooks Group of most of the responsibility?"Simon had indeed found such evidence. That crucial piece meant Nick's family couldn't demand much compensation. Yet, a tightness gripped his chest, as if something unseen was pressing down on him. For some reaso

Fiona fixed her gaze on Simon, then replied, "Tell me honestly. Do you really only see Laura as the daughter of our enemy? If so, why do you keep putting off your engagement to Hailey?"Is there something else on your mind? Let me warn you. If you've developed any sympathy for that bitch, I'll end my life right in front of you!"Simon's heart sank as he heard that. He could clearly see the unwavering determination in her eyes. He would never doubt Fiona's words. After all, it was Harry who had caused Anthony's death, and that had shattered her life completely.The humiliation and torment Fiona had once endured flooded Simon's mind. He clenched his fists, unwilling to dwell on it any longer.He knew that Fiona would never accept Laura. The incident was something Fiona could never get over. Suddenly, she became agitated and grabbed Simon's arm tightly. Her voice was desperate as she demanded, "Tell me now. Do you have feelings for that bitch? Answer me!""Mom, calm down. I promi
