"You!" Maxwell clenched his fists.Just as he was about to lash out, Rachel stopped him by grabbing his arm. She wrapped her arm around Maxwell's, forcing a smile. "Maxwell, now that things have finally settled and the rumors have died, we should be celebrating instead."Nathan's gaze flickered over Rachel, and he said to Maxwell, "I think Mrs. Lance is right. You have such a beautiful wife and a son. You're truly winning at life."Nathan turned to Jennifer. "We need to work hard too, alright?"Jennifer looked at him, confused. Had they... reached that stage already?Facing Maxwell's sharp gaze, Jennifer felt uneasy and guilty. But the feeling was fleeting.She reassured herself that there was nothing to feel guilty about. Although he'd saved her, she didn't owe him her life. Besides, he was married with a wife and son, and she was in a relationship with Nathan. What did it have to do with him?At the thought of this, Jennifer was not as guilty as before. She calmly said, "Mr. L
"It's not your fault." Nathan walked over, gently holding Jennifer and comforting her. "Before a drug hits the market, it's still in the trial phase. Anything could happen. The parents who chose to let their children participate in the trial should have anticipated the drug could improve the condition or worsen it."Jennifer felt weird being in his embrace and moved away. Her lashes fluttered as she said despondently, "I understand that, but I still feel awful about it."Nathan looked at her with a soft gaze. "It's in the past now. Why didn't you tell me? If it were me, I would willingly take a knife for you too. I'd give my life for you."Jennifer was taken aback, her face flushing. When Nathan mentioned this, Maxwell popped into her mind again, making her heart race."Susan?" Nathan piped up. "What are you thinking about?"Jennifer quickly snapped back to reality and shook her head awkwardly, "Nothing… I was just thinking about work. Thank you for coming over to help me out. But
Nathan slowly walked over, cupping Jennifer's face and leaning in closer.Jennifer was extremely nervous, her heart pounding wildly. Just as Nathan's lips were about to touch hers, she suddenly pulled away, stammering, "I... I just remembered something I need to handle for work."She bolted toward the study with her tail between her legs. Nathan watched her retreating figure with a bitter smile. Perhaps he had been too hasty and frightened her.…Two days later, Nathan left Haven City with a heavy heart. Since Jennifer had resumed work, she couldn't accompany him to the airport. He reminded her to take care before hailing a taxi to the airport. Along the way, he felt frustrated that he hadn't gotten closer to Jennifer.Just as he got out of the car, Maxwell appeared and blocked his path. Nathan smirked. "You even came here to stop me. It seems you're well aware of my schedule.""Do you think I care about your schedule? If it weren't for Jennifer, I wouldn't even bother looking fo
Nathan panicked but put on a calm front. "Would you dare to do it? Would you dare tell her what happened back then? Why she left you? Would you tell her how your wife and son came to be? I think she'd rather not remember her past. After all, you didn't give her any fond memories, did you, Mr. Lance?"Maxwell's body shook violently, and he suddenly lost all his strength. Nathan's words weighed heavily on his heart, and he found it hard to breathe. Indeed, what difference would it make if Jennifer knew the past? She would only hate him more!Nathan glanced at his watch, noting that it was almost time for his flight. He pushed past Maxwell and said indifferently, "Mr. Lance, what you don't cherish, someone else will treasure."With that, he walked confidently toward the airport terminal. Maxwell turned around, his eyes stinging with tears. He had thought about Jennifer for five years. Who said he didn't cherish her?…At the hospital, after the child's mother signed the consent form
Although Jennifer was angry, she maintained her composure. "You're pushing all the responsibility away! But the autopsy report came out. It showed the drug concentration wasn't sufficient, which is why the condition didn't improve and worsened instead. The doctor's prescription clearly stated the drug concentration. You were the one administering the injections, and you were the only one who could control the drug concentration.""Like I said, I don't know anything! Dr. Susan, even though you're an expert and the hospital brought you in, I still have my pride. How dare you slander me?" the nurse retorted."Fine, I have no choice but to call the police." Jennifer sneered. "Don't forget, the police have plenty of experience with investigating. They'll find traces of your motives and fingerprints as well as the hospital surveillance. You can't leave any evidence if you want to keep something secret. But you'll always leave some traces behind."She pulled out her phone, ready to call th
Jennifer was practically shouting by the end. Then, she forcefully dragged the nurse to the director's office.This matter needed to be clarified immediately. She didn't want her career tainted, nor did she want her clinical trial to tarnish the hospital's reputation.In the end, the nurse was taken away by the police. After all, she'd broken the law.But what Jennifer really wanted to know was who the nurse had sold her medication to. However, the nurse couldn't identify the person she had been dealing with.The police speculated that she genuinely didn't know. If she did, she would have revealed it to reduce her sentence.Nonetheless, the police were determined to investigate and find the person involved. That couldn't let such a heinous crime slide.…Back at Nimbus Lounge, Rachel had caught wind of the police's plans and nervously asked Shaun, "You didn't leave any clues, did you? Will the police trace it back to us?""Don't worry, Ms. Walker. There were no traces left behi
Years of experience made Rachel realize that Jasper's illness had relapsed. This time, however, it seemed worse than ever. Jasper struggled to breathe. "Mom, I... I feel terrible. Am I... am I going to die?""No, don't say that!" Rachel had tears streaming down her face. She yelled at Martha, "Call Dr. Watkins immediately! Get him over here, now!"Martha quickly called both Clement and Maxwell. Since Clement's lab was nearby, he arrived within 20 minutes. Upon arrival, he administered oxygen to Jasper, but it didn't help.In her desperation, Rachel shouted at him, "What's the point of giving him oxygen? Give him some medicine!"Clement's face fell. "We've run out of medicine. I... I don't have any solutions right now. You need to find a way to get Susan's medicine again. Otherwise, Jasper's life would be at risk."Rachel was furious. "What do you mean by that? Are you planning to abandon us? I provided you with Susan's medicine for your research, and you've produced nothing! You'r
Maxwell was already preparing to take Jasper to the hospital, so Rachel had no choice but to follow him. Once in the car, she returned the business card to Maxwell. "Jennifer hates me and definitely won't help me. You should make the call instead." She wasn't going to ask Jennifer for anything no matter what.Maxwell had no choice but to call Jennifer and explain Jasper's condition. Since Maxwell had saved her life before, Jennifer agreed to help.The car sped down to the hospital. Maxwell rushed to Jennifer's department with Jasper in his arms when they arrived.Jennifer had already changed into her medical attire and prepared for the emergency room. When Jasper arrived, she immediately had the nurses wheel him into the emergency room.Rachel tried to follow them in but was stopped by Jennifer. "Non-medical personnel are not allowed in the emergency room. Please cooperate."With that, Jennifer closed the door. But Rachel held it open. "Why won't you let me in? How can I trust y
