Quincy was seething with anger when she brought that up. Jennifer urged Quincy to hurry back to her shift. Otherwise, she might be late. Yet, the former was unwilling to head upstairs. She feared that Robert would notice something amiss and worry about her.And so, Jennifer sat alone in the garden behind the hospital. As she watched the sky gradually darken, she felt a chilling cold settling into her core.Suddenly, a pair of leather shoes appeared before her.Jennifer lifted her head abruptly. To her surprise, it was Nathan. Her gaze was filled with despair and anguish, and she remained silent. Nathan had given up on her. He even sacrificed her, so what else could she say?"This is where you've been hiding, huh?" Nathan remarked. He stared at Jennifer intently. It was as if he was waiting for her to explain. Nathan would not have come across her if he hadn't needed to pass through this garden on his way to the car park. In fact, he did not even know where to begin lo
"I—" Jennifer began. But she immediately figured out that it had to be Maxwell's doing, and her anger flared up."So, are you still blaming me for not informing you? The director and others think you're guilty because you didn't show up today. Your actions only confirmed their suspicions about you!" Nathan responded with an icy tone.Realizing she had misunderstood him, Jennifer hurriedly apologized, "Dr. Lowe, I'm sorry. I-I didn't know you did so much for me. It's my fault. I've let you down."Her voice choked with emotions as she spoke. She was on the verge of crying. Nathan's heart softened at that sight, and most of his anger dissipated. He looked at Jennifer with a frown, asking, "You just said you don't want to be a doctor anymore. Did you mean it?"Jennifer fell silent. Thoughts of the pressure and unfair treatment she had endured during her internship crossed her mind. She was losing hope in the profession. Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably as if floodga
Maxwell chuckled coldly while nodding. "Go ahead and scream. I'd like to see if you have the heart to drive Grandpa to his grave!"Jennifer was cornered by him. Overwhelmed with frustration, she broke down in tears and voiced out her grievances, "Do you know that because of you I have to drop out? "I've been expelled by the hospital and the school! How can you treat me like this?"Maxwell was stunned upon learning that. "Explain yourself. What exactly happened? Weren't you still working yesterday?" he demanded.Jennifer shook him off furiously, her eyes red. "I don't need to explain anything to you. You can't help me, either. But Maxwell, you're too much. You're also a shallow person."Do you only care about scandals and affairs? Dr. Lowe is a great man. He's far better than you! At least, he isn't domineering and selfish. He actually cares about others!"Having said her piece, she turned and ran, leaving Maxwell with nothing but her retreating figure. A surge of anger welle
Otherwise, Nathan would completely take over Jennifer's heart, leaving Maxwell with no place in it.After finishing the cigarette, Maxwell trudged back to Robert's ward, feeling depressed.But to his surprise, Jennifer had already returned. Her gentle smile lingered as she chatted with Robert. It was as if nothing had happened.Maxwell did not know what she said which made Robert burst into laughter. At that sight, he felt even more guilty. Jennifer was devastated, yet she managed to conceal her emotions, ensuring Robert remained unaware of her distress.However, Maxwell knew her heart had to be aching at that moment. He stood at the doorway, observing the smiling woman in silence. He could not bear to disrupt the beautiful moment. Eventually, it was Robert who noticed Maxwell standing there.The former was astute. He yawned before saying, "Jennifer, I'm tired. I'd like to rest now. You and Maxwell should go to sleep too. "Oh, by the way, I had someone change to a bigger
"You! Why did you come back?" Khloe glared at Jennifer and asked, "You've made such a grave mistake, and you still have the nerve to return, huh? Didn't the school inform you about your punishment?"Right then, Nathan appeared. "I asked her to come back," he remarked nonchalantly.His tone seemed to tell everyone that Jennifer's presence there was completely normal and nothing to be surprised about.Khloe could not be bothered about hierarchy and reminded him, "Dr. Lowe, you must have forgotten that the school's and hospital's higher-ups have already decided on Jennifer's punishment."She no longer has the right to appear in our department, let alone intern here!"Nathan's gaze turned somewhat icy. "I'm on my way to the higher-ups' office. This is something they should worry about. "Dr. Carter, you should be concerned with your patients and make sure this never happens again. You won't always have someone to take the fall for you."Nathan was known for his high emotional intell
The hospital director's priority was to get rid of Jennifer as soon as possible. Only by doing so could they minimize the hospital's involvement in the incident.Even if they went to court, they could push all the responsibility to Jennifer. That way, most of the money would come from her, while the hospital would only need to pay a small portion.But of course, Nathan was fully aware of the director's intention. "Didn't the patient's family say they were willing to settle privately? Let's go with that then," he said solemnly.The hospital director looked at Nathan in shock upon hearing those words.In the next second, he grew even angrier. "Settle it privately? Do you know how much the family wants for a settlement?" the hospital director questioned. "One million dollars! Are you saying the hospital should pay? "Do you want us to fork out one million dollars just to clean up an intern's mess? Dr. Lowe, have you lost your mind after being abroad? Do you think the hospital is a
Jennifer trusted Nathan completely. Hence, she did not overthink when he said that."Dr. Lowe, I don't even know how to thank you. If you hadn't gone out of your way and put in a good word for me with the director, I'd be done for," she said, clearly touched.Nathan responded, "The best way to thank me is by doing well in your internship and persisting in your medical studies."After saying that, a thought struck him. "Oh, and from now on, Khloe will no longer be your attending physician. I'll take you on personally. If she gives you any trouble, tell her to come see me."Jennifer blinked in surprise. "Y-You'll become my attending physician?" she asked in disbelief. Nathan's lips curled into a smile and countered, "What's the matter? Am I not qualified?""No, it's not that," Jennifer hurriedly explained, "I just heard that you have very high standards for taking on students, and you never accept interns, only master's and PhD students."Nathan could not help but find her incr
The more Khloe thought about it the more indignant she grew. "Jennifer, others may not know what kind of person you are, but I know perfectly well. Do you think you can win Dr. Lowe over, and he'll let you do whatever you want in this department by seducing him? Don't be naive!" she sneered.Jennifer looked at Khloe with disdain. "Ms. Carter, are those really the kind of things an attending should be saying? "With all this time on your hands, why not improve your professional skills? That way, you won't have another intern taking the fall for you next time!"Khloe stared at Jennifer's retreating figure, seething with anger. She could not believe the latter had the guts to mock her for being stripped of her right to take on interns by Nathan. Khloe immediately marched to Nathan's office.Nathan was displeased at the sight of her. "What is it?"Khloe responded sarcastically, "Dr. Lowe, Jennifer just told me you'll be her attending physician from now on. "As an esteemed prof
