You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 571
Given her skills, the hospital was relying on Susan to bring them fame. With a heavy heart, Preston walked away, contemplating how to break the news to Rachel.As soon as he returned to his office, Rachel stood up and asked, "How did it go? Did she agree?"Jennifer might have been insufferably arrogant toward her, but Rachel believed she would not dare disrespect the director. Preston could only force a smile and said, "Please don't be anxious, Mrs. Lance. The truth is, Dr. Susan is a specialist we went to great lengths to hire, and she doesn't exactly take orders from me either."However, she has made a request. If you can meet it, she'll agree to treat your son."Rachel scoffed, raised her chin, and snapped, "Tell me what it is!"Preston cautiously explained, "Dr. Susan has requested that you do a good deed by covering the medical expenses for the pediatric cardiac surgery patients. Then, she wants you to apologize to her in my presence. What do you—"Before he could finish h

So, how could that be completely different from what Preston told Maxwell?Preston then said, "Didn't your wife tell you? I was worried her frustration might have led to a miscommunication, so I thought it'd be best to explain things to you directly.""Okay, I understand. Thank you, Dr. Gardner," Maxwell replied with a deep frown.After hanging up, he quickly made his way to the hospital where Jasper was admitted.When Rachel saw him, she maintained her composure and uttered with a smile, "Jasper is much better today than he was yesterday.""Step outside with me. I need to ask you something," Maxwell ordered icily.Rachel was momentarily stunned. Despite feeling uneasy, she still followed Maxwell out. As soon as they stepped out of the ward, Maxwell coldly asked, "Why did you lie today? Did Dr. Susan really agree to treat Jasper?"His words made Rachel's expression shift noticeably. With a strained smile, she asked, "D-Did you catch wind of something?""Rachel, I'm the one as

It was not long before Michael got back to Maxwell, informing him that Susan had taken a flight back abroad just 30 minutes ago.Maxwell was extremely disappointed. He hurriedly asked, "When's she coming back? Isn't she working at Haven Hospital now?""She's a specialist that Haven University hired. I've asked around. She only sees patients from Monday to Thursday. Once her hours are over, she heads back abroad without wasting a moment," Michael explained.Frustrated, Maxwell spat, "It's unbelievable how she's so infatuated with a foreign country. She's a Chuelesian! How could she treat another country like it's home?"Michael sighed and remarked, "You'll have to wait until next Monday if you want to see her."…Jennifer caught a night flight back and arrived just before noon.Cassidy and Caleb were overjoyed to see her. They immediately threw themselves into her arms, wanting cuddles. As Jennifer held them close, she felt her exhaustion vanish completely.Cassidy tilted her

Nathan patted Caleb's head and said, "Go play with your sister. I'll make some burritos for you soon. And remember, your mom is resting. Don't disturb her, alright?"Caleb blinked repeatedly. Suddenly, he asked, "Mr. Lowe, are you trying to be our daddy?"Nathan froze momentarily, caught off guard by Caleb's question.In the next instant, he smiled gently, crouched down, and asked earnestly, "Well, Cal, do you like me? Would you like me to be your and Cass' daddy?"Caleb's eyes darted around before he replied softly, "But I still want my real daddy." Nathan felt as if a bucket of ice water had been dumped on him, those few simple words chilling him to the core.Right then, Cassidy chimed in, "Cal, our real daddy isn't around anymore. Mommy told us he's gone to another place."After saying that, she giggled and added in her sweet, childish voice, "I think Mr. Lowe is like Daddy's replacement. He's so nice to us!"Only then did Nathan feel somewhat comforted. At least, Cassidy u

Nathan stared at the woman before him, his heart swelling with gratitude. Jennifer had never been this spirited and radiant before she'd lost her memory."It would be perfect if you could always stay like this," Nathan remarked lightly.Jennifer's smile faltered, and she looked at him with confusion. "What do you mean by that?"Yet, Nathan simply shook his head, saying, "It's nothing. I just want you to stay as happy and carefree as you are now."…The time Jennifer spent with her children always felt too short. A few days later, she boarded her flight back to the country. However, the moment she exited the airport, two bodyguards appeared and blocked her path."Excuse me, are you Dr. Susan?""Yes, I am. What is this about?" Jennifer cast a puzzled glance at them.The bodyguards respectfully answered, "Our boss would like to meet you. He has a favor to ask." Jennifer was taken aback, staring at the two strange men before her with a sense of unease. "Sorry, I don't have ti

Jennifer immediately retorted, "It'll be too late by the time I'm hurt! Do I really need to be kidnapped or go missing before you'll open a case?"The police officer could only suggest, "Since you're living alone after coming back from abroad, it's certainly not the safest situation. "You might want to look up some self-defense tips for women living alone online. If an incident like this happens again, make sure to keep evidence and come back to file a report."Jennifer was utterly speechless. How was she supposed to take pictures of the two attackers with her phone in that situation?Disappointed, she left the police station and immediately ordered a can of pepper spray and a personal alarm online. After that, she had dinner before heading home. The hospital had arranged for Jennifer to stay in a high-end residential area. It was a villa-style building with one unit per floor, and she lived on the top floor.By the time she got home, it was already past 8:00 pm. As soon as J

As Maxwell revisited the memories, he could feel a wild beast raging furiously within him."Mmm…"Jennifer's eyes widened in shock. Suddenly, she began to struggle fiercely. But in the blink of an eye, Maxwell had already restrained her arms and pinned them behind her.He pressed his towering figure against her, forcing her against the elevator door as he kissed her with a desperate passion. He even bit her lips with a wild intensity.Maxwell was consumed by a burning hatred. Why was Jennifer so cruel as to abort their child?For five years, the thought had gnawed at him, making him wish he could find her and make her regret her actions. However, when Jennifer actually appeared before Maxwell, he realized he could not bring himself to harm her. Every voice within him admitted that he missed her. The way she looked at him with the cold detachment of a stranger made him want to envelop her in his embrace.Jennifer did not stop struggling, but her efforts were futile against Max

Nathan closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He could not help but feel that the universe was playing a cruel joke on them.Why? After five long years, why did Jennifer have to run into them again?"Didn't you mention that someone had been to our lab not long ago, investigating Jennifer's information?" Nathan asked in a deep voice.The private investigator nodded. "Yes, Maxwell's wife probably hired someone to do it. Now that Maxwell has found Susan, he's probably started his investigation. But this time, we're well prepared. We won't let him find out anything we don't want him to."Nathan heaved a sigh of relief. "Remember, Maxwell mustn't discover the existence of the two children. Assign a few people to be in the lab for a few days and provide them with false information."As for Rachel, he believed she would not be foolish enough to tell Maxwell even if she found out that Jennifer had given birth overseas.With everything in place, Nathan's racing heart finally began to slo

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
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
