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
At that moment, Jasper's gaze was filled with confusion as he looked at his parents. It was clear he understood some of their conversation, but other parts left him puzzled.Maxwell noticed it and said to Rachel in a low voice, "Let's step outside. We shouldn't discuss this in front of him."With that, Rachel followed him into the hallway, her voice sincere as she spoke. "I know you might think I was trying to matchmake Nathan and Jennifer on purpose. But who am I really doing this for?"It's for Jasper. Nathan has assured us he can cure him. If you try to take away Jennifer from him now, it could jeopardize Jasper's treatment."Maxwell's heart sank upon hearing that. He couldn't help but berate himself for being so consumed by his anger toward Nathan that he had neglected Jasper's safety.Noticing his reaction, Rachel continued, "Given Nathan's skills, if he took out his frustration with you on our son, we wouldn't even be able to tell. Ultimately, it's Jasper who will pay the pr
Jennifer knew she couldn't hide the truth from Nathan any longer. Thus, she could only admit, "He must have used this medication before being admitted."Realization dawned upon Nathan immediately. "Are you saying they got their hands on this drug through other means?" he asked in disbelief. "I-I don't know. After all, there's no evidence," answered Jennifer. Nathan's tone grew harsher as he reprimanded her, "Are you still trying to cover for them at a time like this? Who exactly are you protecting? Is it Maxwell?"Jennifer looked like her deepest secrets had been exposed, leaving her feeling deeply embarrassed. She turned away, her voice tinged with resignation, and asked, "What do you suggest we do now?"Nathan was overwhelmed with disappointment. He couldn't believe that such a major issue had been covered up just because it involved Maxwell. The fact that Jennifer had concealed the truth from him and everyone else left him astounded. He approached Jennifer and enunciated ea
Rachel took a deep breath and said, "Dr. Lowe, do you really believe that Maxwell and I did something so awful? Maxwell had already explained to Dr. Susan that it was the Greganian doctor who had done it. We were deceived!"Nathan's lips curled into a smile, but his gaze remained cold. "Mrs. Lance, don't be anxious. Let the police handle this, and they'll prove your innocence. "If they find that you and Mr. Lance had nothing to do with it, your names will be cleared."Nathan's reasoning left Rachel speechless. Fortunately, no one was singling her out. Even if there were suspicions, they were directed at both her and Maxwell.As long as Maxwell could clear his name, she couldn't be arrested. With that in mind, Rachel's anxiety eased somewhat. "Officers, please wait a moment. I need to call my husband and have him come here."…Maxwell was in a meeting when Michael rushed in and whispered in his ear, "Ms. Walker has just called to say that Susan has reported you to the police. T
It seemed Jennifer was truly ending things with Maxwell for good. Why else would she be so intent on bringing him down?…In the doctor's office, a pile of unprocessed medical records sat in front of Jennifer, but her mind was elsewhere. She couldn't stop wondering about the police investigation. Was Maxwell okay?At that moment, Nathan approached her. He tapped the stack of files lightly with his slender fingers and reassured her, "Don't worry. The police didn't take him away. They just asked him some routine questions."Jennifer jolted out of her thoughts. "You've got it wrong. I was just… thinking about work," she replied awkwardly. "Is that so?"The corners of Nathan's lips curled into a wry smile, yet he didn't press the issue. Instead, he changed the subject. "I just got off the plane today and came straight here. I haven't even found a place yet. Any suggestions on where I should stay?"Jennifer paused briefly. She knew exactly what he meant, but she played dumb and sa
As Rachel spoke, her agitation grew. By the end, her words were coming through gritted teeth. Nathan's eyes widened in shock before he shook his head in disbelief. He then said sharply, "Stop making baseless accusations! Otherwise, not only will you remain under suspicion for the medication swap, but you'll also face defamation charges.""Dr. Lowe, you're a clever man. If you truly had faith in Jennifer, you wouldn't have traveled all the way back from abroad, would you?" Rachel sneered. Nathan knew she was not someone to be underestimated, yet he felt uncomfortable that she had brought his personal concerns to light. After a long pause, Nathan finally met Rachel's gaze and asked, "So, what do you want to do?""It's simple. Just claim that there was a mistake in the drug concentration test and that the medication swap never happened. After that, take Jennifer back abroad and get on with your lives."As soon as Rachel finished speaking, she fixed her gaze on Nathan with confide
