But now, because of Jennifer, Khloe had offended the head of the cardiac surgery department. How was she going to survive after this?

Khloe returned to her office, seething with anger. Yet, no one paid her any attention.

Many colleagues and students surrounded Jennifer as they chatted excitedly.

"Jennifer, you're so lucky! I can't believe Dr. Lowe is taking you under his wing."

"Yeah, I'm so jealous! All of us want to assist Dr. Lowe in his surgeries, too."

As Jennifer listened to the envy in the voices around her, she could not help but feel uneasy.

She could tell that most of them were flattering her because of Nathan. But what she needed was to clear her name.

Jennifer did not want everyone to stop talking about the medical mishap just because of Nathan's authority.

Despite spending the entire day in the department, forcing herself to maintain her composure, and focusing on her work, she could not shake the feeling that something was amiss.

In the evening, Quincy came

    Jennifer shot Quincy a glare. "Alright, that's enough. The more you say, the more absurd it sounds. Dr. Lowe is my mentor, and I respect him, okay? What you're saying is out of line."Yet, Quincy persisted, "So what if he's your mentor? Many teacher-student relationships end well. You're not a third party who comes between a family and tears it apart."I heard Dr. Lowe is single. I also think he might have feelings for you. Otherwise, with his position, why would he go out of his way to the extent of opposing the director for an intern?"Jennifer urged, "Oh, come on. Just go study, okay?"Her mind was in disarray after listening to what Quincy said. So, she pushed her friend, saying, "Goodbye!"Even as Quincy entered the elevator, she reminded Jennifer, "I wasn't joking. Think about it!"Jennifer quickly shook her head, trying to clear her mind of the irrelevant thoughts.…When she arrived at Robert's ward that night, Maxwell was already there. Seeing that she had returned,

    Maxwell could not believe it. Nathan had actually paid one million dollars to the patient's family for Jennifer's sake.So, that was his way of solving problems.Maxwell hung up, tossed his phone aside, and asked coldly, "How far have things progressed between you and Nathan?"Jennifer was momentarily stunned. Then, she responded with a frown, "Why do you always ask such absurd questions? He's my mentor, nothing more. Why do you insist on labeling me with all this nonsense?""He's just your mentor, huh?" Maxwell sneered. "If things are that simple, why was he willing to cough up one million dollars to solve this matter for you? "Jennifer, if Nathan was truly that charitable, he would have gone bankrupt long ago!"Jennifer's pupils shrank abruptly, filled with shock. She did not expect Nathan to silence the patient's family and the hospital director in such a way. Observing Jennifer's lack of response, Maxwell took it as confirmation of her relationship with Nathan.In an in

    Still, Jennifer needed to restrain herself. Otherwise, she would be perpetually trapped in this cage called "love", with no way to escape. Her eyes were somewhat red, her voice breaking as she said, "Dr. Lowe… He didn't hurt me. It's not what you think!""The biggest taboo in the workplace is having an inappropriate relationship with your superior. What Nathan did has crossed the line," Maxwell replied earnestly.He continued, "If word gets out that he paid one million dollars to resolve the issue with the patient's family for you, you'll be the one facing all the backlash! But he'll still be the esteemed professor with patients lining up for his surgeries."You, on the other hand, will be seen as someone who climbs the ladder by currying favor with the boss. That's a terrible label to have. Do you understand what I'm saying?"Jennifer took a deep breath before uttering, "Thank you for your reminder. From now on, I'll be careful.""Return the one million dollars to him tomorrow.

    After saying that, Jennifer tightened her coat and started walking toward the hospital.Maxwell quietly followed behind her, his gentle gaze trailing her figure.Occasionally, her cascading locks were lifted by the wind. As her hair grazed his cheek, it stirred a flutter within him.Upon returning to the hospital, Robert remained unconscious. Jennifer was worried, so she stayed by his bedside.On the other hand, Maxwell silently made his way to the cardiac surgery department.He was determined to find evidence to prove Jennifer's innocence. She had no idea where he had gone.The thought of Nathan discreetly forking out one million dollars for her filled Jennifer with guilt and a deep sense of unease. She knew she had to return the money to him. Otherwise, her conscience would remain unsettled.After much hesitation, Jennifer called Laura. She hoped to borrow one million dollars from the latter."So much?" Laura asked with concern, "Did something happen? Why do you suddenly

    After returning to the department, Jennifer did not feel good either. Since she was now under the direct supervision of Nathan, no other doctors dared to assign her tasks.Apart from his surgical and outpatient duties, Nathan spent most of his time teaching at the school. Thus, he was not free to supervise Jennifer.Jennifer felt idle. She was eager to work, yet no tasks were awaiting her. Many interns envied her, saying, "Jennifer, you're so lucky! You're under the big shot's wing, but there's nothing for you to do. "You only need to work a few hours a day, and then you can clock out. Unlike us, we still have to be on duty, with endless tasks to complete."Jennifer hurriedly replied, "If there's anything you haven't finished, let me help you. I have nothing to do now, anyway."She yearned to be overwhelmed with work, rather than feeling useless as she did now.At that moment, Khloe returned from her rounds and overheard their conversation. She flashed an enigmatic smile a

    After venting her frustrations, Khloe's spirits soared.She tidied up her things and leisurely left work. Not long after, Jennifer also left the department.However, when she arrived downstairs, she witnessed Khloe getting into Maxwell's car.Jennifer was shocked at that sight, and she hurried to catch up.But humans could never run faster than a vehicle.In a matter of seconds, Maxwell's car left her in the dust.Jennifer was certain she had not made a mistake. The license plate was Maxwell's, and the car itself was the one he often drove.Her heart raced with nervousness. Jennifer clenched her fists tightly and looked in the direction where the vehicle had disappeared.Countless questions flooded her mind. Why did Khloe get into Maxwell's car? When had they met? Could they have become this close already?Jennifer felt an inexplicable sense of unease. Yet, she could not find any logical reason for it.Since they were already divorced, Maxwell could meet anyone he liked.

    Maxwell snickered. "Too bad. This child was playing in the hallway that night."Khloe grinned. "Really? How many lollipops did you give the child to bribe them?"Just then, Michael carried a child over.The child was carrying a robot in his arms. He looked at Kylie and said, "Hello, Ms. Carter."Khloe strained a smile and patted his head. "Hello, Benji."That was the child's nickname.Khloe huffed. "Mr. Lance, Benji was born with a heart disease, and his surgery is tomorrow. It's cold today. What if he gets sick by being out here? Do his parents know about this?"Maxwell said coldly, "His parents are outside. The car is parked at the entrance and the heater is on. The child will be fine. It seems you're not as irresponsible as I thought you were, Dr. Carter. So why can't you admit your mistake?"Khloe's heart shook. Whenever she remembered the dead patient, it kept her up at night. But she couldn't admit it. Her life would be over if she did! She had been through hell to secu

    Khloe stared into space and silently asked, "What... do you want me to do?""Admit to your mistake and apologize to Jennifer. Let everyone know that Jennifer was wronged!" Maxwell left no room for negotiation. "And if you don't, I will. I've already made another copy of the recording. If this goes public, you'll be blacklisted from all the hospitals in the country."Khloe stared at him in shock. She never thought Maxwell would find evidence and ruthlessly use it against her. If the truth came out, she would indeed be blacklisted from the industry, just as Maxwell had said.But if she admitted it, the hospital would definitely fire her, and all her years of hard work would be for naught. She would have to start from scratch again. Khloe didn't want to give everything up and decided to use her trump card.She gritted her teeth. "Don't push your luck, Mr. Lance! I know you want to protect Jennifer, but if I reveal your relationship to the public, everyone will know that Jennifer is

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
