You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 557
Nathan swallowed his anxiety. "Actually, there's no need to rush the project. We can collect sample data slowly if the sample size is small. We will eventually have enough."Jennifer smiled. "You're usually pushing us and complaining that we're too slow. Why are you now telling me to take it easy?"Nathan gently ruffled her hair. "I'm worried you'll get tired."Jennifer took a deep breath, envisioning the future. "I'm not tired. When I think about how this medicine can save many children's lives, all my exhaustion washes away."Nathan grew increasingly anxious. Seeing Jennifer's determination made him realize how committed she was to the project. The more determined she was, the more he felt like he was losing her before he even had her.Jennifer didn't notice his unease and decided to consider the matter further. Despite Nathan reminding her that Caleb and Cassidy would be without their mother for a year, she still thought it over.…The next day, Jennifer told him her decision

"I need to tell you something," Jennifer said, her tone becoming serious as tears welled up. "I have to go back to Chueles for work starting tomorrow. For the next year, I'll be traveling back and forth, and might only come home every three or four days. You need to listen to the nanny and video call me every day, okay?"Cassidy's face fell. "What? Why do you have to go to Chueles for work? Are they not paying you here? Then let me go with you, Mom!"Caleb quickly added, "Then... I want to go too!"Jennifer felt guilty. Over the years, she had neglected them due to her research and work. Fighting back her sorrow, Jennifer gently ruffled Caleb's hair. "I wish I could take you with me, but you need to attend kindergarten. And I will be very busy with work there, so I won't be able to take care of you. Promise me you'll take care of your sister. I promise to bring back delicious food and toys whenever I return, okay?"Cassidy was a foodie and cheered up immediately. "Okay! I want lots

Jennifer stared at Nathan before hugging him. "Don't worry, I'll take care of myself." With that, she turned and walked away.Nathan's gaze was filled with a mixture of reluctance and worry. He reassured himself that Haven City was vast and Jennifer, having changed her name, would unlikely run into anyone from her past.…Upon arriving at Haven City, Jennifer immediately called the kids and Nathan. It was nearing evening, and everything felt so familiar to her. She dragged her luggage, choosing not to take a taxi, and instead walked through the streets, feeling the summer breeze.Why? Even the scent felt familiar as if it was hidden in her memories. Had she been here before?Lost in thought, a child suddenly bumped into her. Startled, Jennifer quickly steadied the boy. "Are you alright?"Before the boy could respond, a man who looked like a butler hurried over. "What happened? Did she bump into you?"The boy shook his head and admitted, "I didn't look where I was going and bum

Thinking of this, Rachel's suspicions faded. She picked up her son and muttered softly, "Jasper, I will definitely find a cure for your illness. Tomorrow, a famous doctor from abroad is coming to Haven Hospital. I heard she invented a medicine for your condition. I will take you to see her first thing, okay?"With that, Rachel took Jasper home.When Martha saw her, she said coldly, "Dinner's ready. Mr. Lance will be back soon."Over the years, if it weren't for Maxwell's insistence, she would have left long ago. Even if she didn't, Rachel would have found a way to drive her out.Rachel had grown accustomed to Martha's harsh tone. But it was only a matter of time before she became the lady of the house. So, why would she lower herself to argue with a maid?Thus, Rachel maintained her composure and flashed a weird smile. "Jasper still needs to drink the traditional medicine tomorrow morning. Please prepare it for him early in the morning."Martha had enough. "Can't the medicine be

Rachel sighed. "This specialist is a bit different from others. She doesn't allow appointments and insists on on-site registration. It's probably to prevent people from using connections to jump the queue! She seems like a stickler for rules and probably offends many people. How do influential people in Haven City have time to wait in line?"Maxwell glanced at her. "Waiting in line isn't a big deal for Jasper's sake. She's a specialist, and it's expected for her to have some standards and morals. Remember, we need her help, so stop complaining."Rachel quickly smiled. "You're right, I was too hasty."Maxwell instructed, "Make sure to take Jasper there early tomorrow. I heard the number of appointments is limited. I have an important meeting in the morning, so I can't go with you. Call me if there's anything."Rachel observed Maxwell. Even after five years, he was still so handsome. Now, he had an added charm of maturity. She felt happy and content. So what if they weren't married?

The child's father was moved to tears and choked out, "Thank you, Dr. Susan. We had lost hope and were planning to return to our hometown. Thank you for making this expensive medication affordable for us. Regardless of the outcome, we have no regrets now."Jennifer smiled wryly. "Don't mention it."Nathan told Jennifer her real name was Jennifer Yale, but everyone called her Susan abroad. Even her published academic papers were under her alias, Susan. So, many patients naturally called her that."Alright, no need to thank me." Jennifer smiled. "Remember to get the hospitalization procedures done for your child tomorrow. I've already reserved a bed for you."After the patient left, Jennifer called the next patient, but no one came in. Every second of her time was precious because many people were still waiting in line. She didn't want to waste a minute.Suddenly, there was a commotion outside. Shortly after, a nurse hurried in."What happened?" Jennifer frowned. "What's with the c

Jasper was startled by the crowd's accusations against his mother and cautiously tugged at Rachel's skirt. "Mom, let's just wait in line.""No!" Rachel knelt and muttered softly, "You're my precious child. I'd do anything for you."Maxwell had already spoken to the hospital's director. Surely, Susan would respect that and see Jasper first. Thus, she looked at the angry crowd disdainfully. "Call Dr. Susan here! Let's see who she will agree with!"Just then, a voice sounded. "I am Susan."All eyes turned to Jennifer as she approached. When Rachel saw who Susan was, she froze. Her eyes widened in disbelief as Jennifer approached her. How could it be? Susan was Jennifer Yale?Jennifer frowned at Rachel. Was she that scary? Why was Rachel looking at her with such fear? She walked up to Rachel and gave her a once-over. "Please wait in line."The other patients echoed, "Did you hear that? Dr. Susan herself said to wait in line!"Rachel was furious. So, it was Jennifer! No wonder she wa

Despite her words, Rachel's heart raced with anxiety. She could recognize Jennifer anywhere!Jasper whispered, "Mom, don't be angry. I think the doctor was right. We did cut in line. We were in the wrong."Rachel suddenly grew furious and yelled at him. "Whose side are you on?"Jasper was startled by her outburst, tears welling up. Rachel softened her tone. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell at you. I just want you to get treated and get better soon.""I understand." Although Jasper was only five, he was very mature. He knew his mom was only looking out for him, so he didn't want to make things worse and upset her.Rachel sighed and told the driver, "Take Jasper home first."Jasper was confused. "What about you? Aren't you coming with us?""I have some things to do. You go home first," Rachel coaxed. "Jasper, don't tell Dad about what happened today, okay? Otherwise, Dad will be angry and blame me. Do you want to see us argue?"Jasper quickly shook his head. "No, I… I won't say

You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1196
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
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

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
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
