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
Then Maxwell and Jennifer would be meeting openly. At this thought, Rachel suddenly piped up, "What does signing that consent form mean? If something happens to Jasper like that other child, will you leave all the responsibility on us?"Jennifer gazed at her sharply. "That incident has already been addressed on the hospital's official website. I suggest you check it out. You're free to take your child elsewhere if you don't trust me. I won't stop you."Rachel was conflicted. If they left, there might not be anyone else who could save Jasper. But if they stayed, would she watch as Jennifer and Maxwell rekindled their feelings?Suddenly, Rachel thought of an idea and said, "The hospital is full of bacteria and viruses. Jasper can't handle that. How about this? You can visit our place to treat Jasper or sell us the medicine, and we'll find our own doctor."Listening to her absurd demands, Jennifer burst out laughing. "Mrs. Lance, have you not realized the situation here? You're asking
Jasper blinked in surprise. "Will I have the chance to go to school?"Jennifer nodded. "As long as you go through with my treatment, you'll have the opportunity to be like other kids."Just then, Rachel rushed into the ward and pushed Jennifer aside. Jennifer immediately steadied herself by grabbing the wall, preventing herself from falling.She looked at Rachel in disbelief. "What are you doing?"Rachel glared at her. "What were you saying to my son?"When she entered the ward, she immediately noticed Jasper laughing with Jennifer. Was she planning to manipulate Jasper too?Jennifer yelled, "Are you paranoid or something?""You're the one who's paranoid!" Rachel snapped back angrily. "Why are you getting so close to my son? What exactly were you telling him?"Jasper intervened, "Mom, why are you so angry? The doctor is very nice. She just came to check on me and told me I'll get better. She also said she'll make it so I can go to school like other kids."Rachel held back her
