Jennifer's expression grew solemn upon hearing that. She immediately rose and headed toward the ward. At that moment, the doctor's office was packed with the families of the children, all demanding to be discharged. The on-call doctor managed to squeeze inside, trying to maintain order. "Everyone, please calm down. Dr. Susan is here!"Jennifer stood before the crowd. Everyone seemed ready to devour her, yet she remained composed and said, "Hello everyone, I'm Dr. Susan. You can share your concerns with me, and I'll address them one by one."Are the patients feeling unwell? Did my medication not help, or has it made things worse?"Yet, the families continued to demand, "Our request is to have our children discharged immediately!"They were worried that if they didn't leave soon, their kids might become the next to die. Word by word, Jennifer uttered, "Alright, since you insist on leaving, let me ask you a question. Has there been any improvement in your child's condition with
Everyone looked at Jennifer and thought, "If this woman doesn't succeed, who will? Her determination is astounding!"After handling the situation at the ward, Jennifer went to the director's office. The child's mother was also there. Although she believed that Jennifer was responsible for her son's death, she didn't dare to do anything since Jennifer hadn't pressed charges against her husband's violence. But as soon as she saw Jennifer, she remembered her deceased son and started crying uncontrollably.The director comforted her, "Crying won't solve the problem! Dr. Susan is here now, and we can think of a solution together."When Jennifer entered, she admitted to the child's mother, "Over the past three days, we have thoroughly investigated the medication and medical orders and found no mistakes. If necessary, we can conduct an autopsy to determine the exact cause of death.""You still won't admit that you killed our son?" The mother was hysterical and shouted, "He's dead! Yet you
Jennifer prided herself on her ability to stay calm and keep her composure in any situation. However, she felt utterly helpless at the moment.She lost her patience and snarled, "I told you, if you want to investigate the cause of the child's death thoroughly, you need to conduct an autopsy! That's the only way! I am willing to take full responsibility if it was my fault!""You! You're acting arrogant because you know we can't afford a lawyer!" The child's mother shook with anger and broke free from the security guards before lunging at Jennifer angrily.Maxwell stepped in front of Jennifer to shield her. But the woman shoved him hard and struck his wound. The security guards restrained the woman again.Jennifer was stunned by the sudden attack and stared at Maxwell in shock. In that instant, his presence felt so familiar and reassuring.A weird emotion welled up within her.Maxwell endured the sharp pain and said sternly, "I will have a lawyer handle this. I wanted to let your h
Jennifer advised, "You should rest for the next few days and try to move as little as possible. As for my situation..." She paused. "Thank you for helping me, but I'll handle it myself. You don't need to worry."Maxwell frowned. "Although their son died and they deserve sympathy, they've turned their anger toward you. Don't you know it's impossible to reason with an unreasonable person? You can't win against them in an argument, and fighting them is out of the question. How can I not worry?"Jennifer was dazed and looked at him thoughtfully.Why did she find his voice, tone, and gaze familiar? Even though they had only spent a few days together, she felt everything about him was familiar.Jennifer shook her head, trying to dismiss her thoughts. Nathan told her she wasn't from Haven City and had never been here. So, how could she know Maxwell? She must be mistaken since he was so kind to her.Just then, Maxwell asked softly, "How can a woman as outstanding as you not have any sui
Rachel could only hide her anxiousness and patiently say, "But you're helping me by doing this. It's called a white lie, okay? Be good and call your dad again. Tell him you're not feeling well and that he needs to come back to check on you."Jasper pouted. "But I already told Dad I'm fine. Mom, what's wrong with you? Why do you always teach me to lie?"Rachel groaned at Jasper's stubbornness. He just didn't understand! She sighed. "Never mind, go back to your room and rest."After Jasper left, Rachel fell into deep thought. Normally, Maxwell would inform them before a business trip and make arrangements for Jasper. This time, he just left without saying when he would return. It was quite strange.Could he have rekindled his relationship with Jennifer after they met that day? Or perhaps Jennifer had regained her memory?The thought of it filled Rachel with anxiety. She feared her comfortable and wealthy life might soon be taken away.…The next morning, Rachel went to the hospita
Rachel forced a smile and said to the nurse, "Alright, thank you. I'll come back another time to see Dr. Susan." With that, Rachel left. But her face darkened immediately as she turned.…At Lance Group, Rachel took advantage of her status and instructed the secretary, "Call Michael over!"Soon, Michael arrived. Although Rachel had given birth to Maxwell's child and was staying with him, Michael still held a grudge against her, though he did not dare to show it. "How may I help you, Ms. Walker?""Ms. Walker?" Rachel repeated with a sneer.Michael continued to feign ignorance. He wasn't going to acknowledge her as Maxwell's wife unless they got married!A sly glint flashed in Rachel's eyes. "I heard Maxwell went abroad on a business trip. Were you the one who bought his plane ticket?"Michael was taken aback. He recalled Maxwell's order to keep his injury a secret and nodded. "Yes."Rachel scrutinized him. "Which country did he go to?""I… Iritah," Michael blurted out a rando
Jennifer would wake up early every day to prepare breakfast for Maxwell. She felt a sense of accomplishment seeing her culinary skills improve and the meals she made.Just as Jennifer was about to take breakfast to Maxwell, Rachel stopped her, along with Jasper.The sight of Rachel made Jennifer uneasy. Rachel, accompanied by Jasper, spoke coldly, "You seem to have a lot of free time, Dr. Susan. I heard you don't have any shifts. Yet here you are taking care of someone else's husband."Jennifer caught on and frowned. "You misunderstood. Mr. Lance saved my life. I only agreed to his request as a token of appreciation. He asked me to take care of him and not inform his family, including you. Perhaps he didn't want you to worry."Her honest explanation only fueled Rachel's anger. To Rachel, this felt like a blatant challenge.Rachel suppressed her jealousy and hatred, forcing a smile. "What do you mean? Are you saying that Maxwell doesn't need me and our son? That he only needs you?"
Jennifer could only console herself with these thoughts.Meanwhile, Maxwell was shocked to see Rachel and Jasper."What are you doing here?" He widened his eyes in surprise and frowned.Rachel immediately approached worriedly. "Maxwell, I heard from Michael that you were injured. How could you… hide such a big thing from us?"Maxwell gritted his teeth. Michael was digging his own grave. Despite his repeated warnings, Michael still dared to tell Rachel.Jasper also ran to his side and asked cautiously, "Dad, where are you injured? Does it hurt?""I'm fine." Maxwell picked up Jasper. "Don't worry, okay?"However, Rachel insisted on seeing his wound. She complained, "How could you be so impulsive? You rushed in blindly. What if something happened to you? Who would take care of Jasper and me? Do you not care about us?"Maxwell didn't expect Michael to have told Rachel the details. Dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes as he tried to deflect the topic. "Aren't I fine now? It's really
