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

    Jennifer halted in her tracks and turned around to scrutinize Rachel. She asked tauntingly, "You got someone to investigate me?"She even knew her real name.Rachel's face twisted and she spat, "So, you admit it. You're Jennifer, aren't you? What exactly are you planning after returning here under a different name? Are you trying to steal Maxwell from me? I've already moved in with Jasper. Our family is happy as it is! You don't stand a chance!"Jennifer looked bewildered. "What are you talking about? Trying to… steal who?"Rachel was taken aback, sensing something different about Jennifer. Although Jennifer had become more sharp and capable, it was as if she didn't recognize her.With a cold snort, Rachel demanded, "Are you saying you didn't come back to get revenge or steal Maxwell from me?""Are you out of your mind?" Jennifer laughed. "I don't know you at all. Why would I be competing with you for Max… Maxwell? I've told you, I won't treat your child. It doesn't matter what y

    Maxwell was in disbelief. "She's already a specialist when she's only in her 20s?""Yes, it's laughable, isn't it?" Rachel snorted. "She's all bark and no bite. I was so furious that I brought Jasper back. No one who left her office had good things to say about her. She's not fit to treat Jasper."Despite her exaggeration, Rachel didn't believe an inexperienced rookie like Jennifer could treat Jasper. Even seasoned experts had deemed Jasper's condition hopeless, let alone someone like Jennifer.Thus, Rachel didn't hesitate to slander "Susan" to Maxwell.Maxwell didn't doubt her. After all, Rachel wouldn't have disregarded Jasper's life if the doctor was truly skilled.It seemed they lost their last strand of hope. Maxwell's disappointment was palpable.He sighed. "Since this one didn't work out, I'll keep searching for specialists. Jasper's condition must be treated. We can't give up."Rachel was secretly relieved. Thankfully, Maxwell didn't doubt her.Haven City was a large ci

    Shaun sighed and shook his head. "He won't be waking up anytime soon."Rachel felt a wave of relief. "I came to ask you to investigate someone for me."She handed him a photo of Jennifer. "This person is named Jennifer. She's a cardiac surgeon who goes by the name Susan at Haven Hospital. Find out what she has been doing abroad all these years, who she's been with, and how she became a specialist."Shaun took the photo. "Consider it done, Ms. Walker. I'll take care of it.""Thank you." Rachel handed him a luxury watch. "Maxwell bought this watch at the auction. Jasper is too young to wear such a fine watch, so you should have it."Since Shaun was Hugo's most trusted subordinate and the others respected him, maintaining a good relationship with him was crucial.Shaun declined. "You're too kind, Ms. Walker. The boss saved my life. You and your son are the most important people to him. It's my duty to help you."Rachel didn't expect such unwavering loyalty. She hinted, "Shaun, I kn

    Jennifer had given birth abroad!Rachel was terrified. She hoped Jennifer wouldn't return with those two children, remember her past, or meet Maxwell again. Otherwise, everything she had painstakingly built over the past five years would be in vain!Shaun was unaware of their past and suggested, "Ms. Walker, I heard Dr. Susan is very skilled. As soon as she returned, she developed a new medication that has shown excellent results for heart disease. Why don't you take your son to see her?"Rachel was distracted. "I see. I won't give up as long as there's a glimmer of hope."After Shaun left, Rachel was consumed by panic and contemplation. When she got home, she heard Martha's voice, "Mr. Jasper! What's wrong?"The frantic voice snapped Rachel out of her thoughts, and she immediately ran to the living room.Jasper was turning blue as he gasped for air on the floor.Rachel knew Jasper was having another attack and ran over to hold him. She yelled at Martha, "Quick! Call an ambulanc

    No! Rachel absolutely couldn't let this happen. If Maxwell met Jennifer again, everything she had built over the past five years would be in vain! Rachel knew Maxwell still hadn't gotten over Jennifer even after five years.Rachel forced a smile. "That doctor is quite the character. Even the hospital director couldn't get her to cooperate last time, let alone us. I'll find her myself tomorrow. I'll get in line early to show my sincerity. Doctors probably appreciate sincere patients. I'm sure she won't take out her anger on Jasper."Maxwell thought for a moment and agreed. "Then you must go early tomorrow and see Dr. Susan. I'm busy with work and can't get away. If she refuses to treat Jasper, I'll talk to her myself."Rachel's heart raced. She felt she was toeing between life and death. She had to resolve this herself and ensure Susan administered the new medication to Jasper. Only then would Maxwell not think of meeting her. Fortunately, Jennifer had lost her memory. Otherwise,

    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
