"Because you like me." Maxwell stared at her. "Jennifer, look into my eyes. You still have feelings for me, don't you?"He was convinced that even after five years, he still understood Jennifer. Even a single gesture or glance from her told him that she still cared.Jennifer felt as though her deepest secret had been exposed. She snapped defensively, "You're talking nonsense! You're a married man. Why do you keep coming to me? You know I won't do anything like that!"A look of pain crossed Maxwell's face. He had no choice but to take a step back. "Fine, let me explain everything to you now. If, after I've explained, you still can't forgive me, I won't say another word."Jennifer wasn't sure if it was the alcohol or the fact that she was drenched in the rain, but she felt a splitting headache and just wanted everything to end as quickly as possible. She nodded. "Alright, make it quick."With that, Maxwell followed her into her home. Both of them were soaked and looked disheveled. J
Maxwell had already finished his shower in the other bathroom, but Jennifer still hadn't come out. He thought she was avoiding him.Jennifer bit her lip and finally said, "Well... Could you... Could you bring me my pajamas?"Realization dawned on Maxwell. A small smile played on his lips as he asked where she kept her pajamas. After she told him, he quickly brought them to her.Jennifer cautiously cracked the door open, just enough to extend her hand. "Give them to me."But Maxwell, mischievous as ever, didn't hand over the clothes. Instead, he pushed the door open."Maxwell! Give me my clothes now!" Jennifer yelled in frustration, tugging at the corner of her pajamas. "If you don't, get out of my house!"Sensing her anger, Maxwell immediately let go, intending to hand the clothes to her. Unfortunately, because Jennifer had been pulling hard, she lost her balance and fell backward when Maxwell released the pajamas.She screamed, bracing herself for a hard landing, expecting to
The following morning, the sound of a phone ringing woke Jennifer. She barely roused from her sleep as she answered the call groggily, "Hello…"The sound of Jennifer's sleepy "Hello" was enough to leave Rachel stunned on the other end. "Hello… Why aren't you talking?" Jennifer, still half-asleep, mumbled and tossed the phone aside. Meanwhile, Rachel listened to the beeping sound of the disconnected call, unable to believe what she had just heard. Why? Why did Jennifer answer Maxwell's phone? Did they actually spend the night together?The thought almost made Rachel crush her phone in fury. Jealousy and rage built up in her chest, threatening to tear her apart.This bitch had returned to seduce her husband! How shameless! No wonder Maxwell hadn't come home the night before. He must have been completely captivated by her.Rachel's eyes were bloodshot, and her smile turned into a sinister, twisted grin. She silently swore to make Jennifer suffer the consequences of being a mis
Jennifer's lips curled into a cold smile, and she said mockingly, "Fine, you win! With this hanging over my head, there's no way out for me. I'm bound to treat your son now."Hearing how badly she misunderstood him, Maxwell felt as if an invisible hand was gripping his heart tightly. The pain was so intense that he struggled to breathe.Why did she always assume the worst of him? She couldn't see his true feelings, which was why she believed everything he did for her was only for Jasper.Maxwell frowned and massaged his temples as he stared at Jennifer with a troubled expression. "Why can't you believe that I love you?"Jennifer shook her head. "I can't think of a single reason why someone would just fall for a stranger so quickly."Her remark felt like a bucket of ice-cold water being dumped over Maxwell's head. Without another word, he got out of bed and headed to the bathroom, shutting her out completely. Jennifer, on the other hand, scrambled to get dressed. The soreness i
Maxwell responded with a nonchalant grin, "Well, it looks like you've encountered one today."Jennifer was infuriated by his arrogance. Not only had he swapped her patient's medication, but now he was also trying to exploit and humiliate her.She was determined not to let Maxwell manipulate her. Besides, she had no future with a married man. Jennifer narrowed her eyes and warned, "Maxwell Lance, do you really think I'm powerless against you? Don't forget, I have proof of you stealing my medication and evidence of your indirect involvement in my patient's death!"You'd better get out of my house right now. If you continue to threaten me, I'll call the police and let them handle the situation!"However, Maxwell remained unfazed. He calmly replied, "This is what I needed to explain to you last night and why I came here. I didn't swap the medication. I had no idea about it. "I've looked into it and found that it was the Greganian specialist who had treated Jasper before. His lab co
Jennifer reflected on the events of the previous night and found the idea of sharing a roof with Maxwell unbearable."Please don't show up at my place anymore," she said firmly.Maxwell chuckled. He then reached out to touch her soft face and remarked meaningfully, "That depends on how you behave."Jennifer couldn't hold back her frustration any longer. She retorted, "You should find that evidence soon. Otherwise, I'll have to involve the police.""What about you?" Maxwell asked, "Aren't you coming to the hospital? Jasper is waiting for you to check in on him."With a scowl, Jennifer snapped, "I don't want to go with you. Go on your own. I'll find my own way."As a result, Maxwell and Jennifer arrived at the hospital separately. Since Maxwell had mentioned that Jasper's condition was urgent, Jennifer got there first, and he came later.In the ward, Jennifer found Rachel with Jasper. At that moment, Rachel's eyes burned with resentment. Even though Jennifer had previously pro
After much deliberation, Nathan finally made up his mind. He would accept the offer from Haven Hospital.Back then, he had left the country for Jennifer's sake, keeping her identity hidden and living a life so low profile that it was almost as if he didn't exist. But now, he knew he had to return for her.Over the past five years, Nathan had turned down countless offers from hospitals back home. Since he had left Haven University's affiliated hospital back then, going back now would feel like a downgrade.So, Nathan opted for Haven Hospital. That way, he could see Jennifer every day too.…Two days later, Nathan's plane touched down in Haven City. However, Jennifer had no idea what was coming. During the morning shift handover, Preston introduced a new colleague to the team. To her utter surprise, it was Nathan. A few new nurses and two residents had just joined the department, all of them single. When they saw how handsome Nathan was, they couldn't contain their excitement an
Jennifer smiled reassuringly and said, "You're amazing, too. I'm sure you have a lot of admirers. Didn't Lucas from the general surgery department come by to pick you up every day recently?""I don't like him," Judy replied with a frown. "Anyway, I'm off to work now. Dr. Susan, if you find out that Dr. Lowe and his girlfriend break up, let me know. I'll be sure to take my chance."Jennifer chuckled in exasperation and nodded. "Alright."Half an hour later, after Nathan had reviewed all the patients' records, he joined Jennifer for their rounds. When they entered Jasper's ward, Maxwell was visibly shocked to see Nathan. Rachel, who was also present, showed both astonishment and a hint of satisfaction. She glanced at Maxwell from the corner of her eye, her excitement palpable. With Nathan right there, Jennifer, that bitch, couldn't possibly seduce Maxwell."Why are you here?" Maxwell demanded, his gaze hostile as he looked at Nathan. But Nathan didn't back down. Instead, he res
