Frida sighed and stood up. "Let the past be the past. I only came to forgive you after I read Nathan's diary. Since my son believed you were someone worthy of love, you must be."Jennifer held the diary but couldn't find the right words. Frida patted her shoulder. "Goodbye, Jennifer."With that, Frida left the room.Meanwhile, Maxwell stood outside the door listening to their conversation. Frida's grace was enough to shock him. Although Maxwell and Nathan were rivals, he now respected the Lowe family.When Frida came out, they exchanged glances. Maxwell lowered his head. "I'm sorry. I'm largely responsible for this. I will do my best to catch the culprit and bring Dr. Lowe to justice."Frida sighed. "Timing is important in life. Nathan might not have lost to you If he'd met Jennifer first."With that, Frida finally left.…Since Frida's visit, Jennifer's condition had improved. Although she still treated Maxwell as an enemy, her maternal love for the two children had returned
Jennifer didn't share her thoughts with Maxwell because she didn't want to speak to him. Fortunately, Maxwell silently cared for the two children and her, and he never forced her into anything.On the day of her discharge, Preston visited her. "Dr. Susan, I heard you're being discharged."Preston smiled. "What will you do next?"Jennifer knew that Preston was here for a reason. There were still patients waiting for Nathan's surgeries. Such complex procedures could only be performed by Nathan. Now that he passed, she, as his student, should complete the unfinished tasks.Jennifer calmly replied, "Dr. Gardner, I will return to work tomorrow and handle Dr. Lowe's tasks."Preston sighed in relief. After all that happened, he worried that Jennifer might refuse to work. He didn't know how he would explain to the patients then.After being discharged, Jennifer didn't return to Maxwell's villa but returned to her apartment. Maxwell brought the two children to her as he couldn't help but
Just then, Maxwell walked over with Caleb. "I won't disturb you. I just want to stay closer so I can feel at ease."Caleb quickly chimed in, "Mommy, this is great! Even when we're with Daddy, we can see you anytime."Jennifer looked at Maxwell helplessly, shocked that Maxwell had bought a house next door. So, they became neighbors.The only benefit was that they could see the children every day and neither had to worry about the kids. At mealtimes, Maxwell would have Caleb bring her food. He would cook a different dish every day. Even though Jennifer remained indifferent, she couldn't help but be tempted by the meals.She pulled Caleb closer and quietly asked, "Does your dad not have to work?""Dad started working from home!" Caleb laughed. "He said his responsibility now is to take good care of us. He'll go back to the company when you're better."Jennifer was moved. She hated being soft-hearted. So, she deliberately pretended not to care. "Lame!"Caleb pouted and muttered, "Da
Jennifer took a deep breath and put on a calm facade. "Then let's talk. Let's discuss how many bad things you've done and how many people you've harmed!"Rachel laughed. "People I've harmed? Let me count! It's not that many. There was that child when I switched his medication. But so what? I did it to save my son. What's wrong with that? My only regret is that Nathan died instead of you."Jennifer never expected Rachel to confess so casually with no hint of remorse. After all this, it really wasn't Maxwell who switched the medication. Why hadn't she thought of that earlier?Jennifer shook her head and said resentfully, "Have you ever thought about how your son will feel if he finds out what kind of person his mother is?""No, he will never know!" Rachel smiled sinisterly. "Because you will die, and Maxwell will die too! As long as you both are dead, he will never know about this."Jennifer's eyes widened in disbelief at her. "You're insane! Rachel, what do you want?""Of course,
Rachel initially planned to carry out this task with two lackeys from Nimbus Lounge. But Shaun still found out.She snorted. "Don't forget, I'm your boss's woman! Think about Hugo's kindness. Do you think he'll forgive you if he knew you weren't helping me but were helping the police? Can you face him after this?"Shaun hesitated. Hugo had saved him from sure death, healed his illness, and brought him through life-and-death situations, nurturing him to become the second-in-command of the group. The kindness Hugo showed him was something he could never repay, even if he died.Now, Rachel and Jasper's were Hugo's only concerns. And with Jasper still missing, how could he face Hugo after this?Under Rachel's persuasion, Shaun finally made up his mind. "Alright, Ms. Walker, I'll help you one last time! But after this, you must listen to me and leave the country. It'll be too late if you don't leave!"Rachel agreed. But she knew she wouldn't be leaving after this. To make Shaun help an
Shaun looked at her in disbelief. But he soon brushed it off as a joke. "My boss has indeed been searching for his long-lost sister. But where did you hear that? How dare you pretend to be my boss's sister? Do you have a death wish?"Jennifer observed him. "Judging by the looks of it, you've probably been with your boss for quite some time. Don't you know he found me five years ago and said I might be his long-lost sister? He even did a DNA test."Shaun was stunned. He didn't know about this. There had been a period when he was severely injured during a mission and someone else took his place.Jennifer realized Shaun was her only hope of escaping. She continued, "You can ask your boss if you don't believe me. See what he says."Shaun stared at her with a complex expression. Was Jennifer really the boss's sister? If so, wasn't he helping Rachel hurt his boss's sister?Shaun gave Jennifer a conflicted look. "But the boss fell into a coma due to an accident five years ago and hasn't
Maxwell had Michael activate the tracking system to search for Rachel's location. Then, he answered the call."Rachel, where exactly have you taken Jennifer?" Maxwell asked coldly. "I won't call the police if you hand her over. I can even send you some money and help you leave. But if you so much as touch a hair on her head, I will kill you! Try me!"Rachel's voice was cold and sinister. "Do you love Jennifer that much? In that case, come and save her yourself. But I'll kill her right in front of you if you dare to call the police!"Maxwell didn't hesitate. "Where are you? Tell me the address."After getting the location, Maxwell ordered Michael to gather his men and head over while notifying the police. "I'll go first. Make sure you stay hidden and don't let anyone see you."With that, Maxwell prepared to leave for the place Rachel had mentioned, determined to rescue Jennifer. But Michael grabbed him. "Mr. Lance, it's too dangerous for you to go alone. That woman is out of her mi
Jennifer's eyes were red and swollen. She was in so much pain that she couldn't even speak. All she could do was shake her head desperately. For some reason, she hoped Maxwell wouldn't come any closer. Just like he had said, if one of them had to die, she wished it would be her.Rachel fumed with anger as they remained so affectionate even at death's door. "You're still acting all lovey-dovey? Maxwell, you love her, don't you? Well then, would you die for her?"Rachel's bloodshot eyes filled with rage. "Don't rush to answer yet. Don't forget, you're not the only one willing to die for Jennifer! She's been involved with Nathan. What do you think you mean to her? But me? My heart has always been yours. I've only ever loved you!"Maxwell found her words laughable and sneered. "What do you love about me? My status or my wealth? Rachel, you've grown to believe your own lies! My only regret is not discovering the kind of person you truly are sooner. The mess we're in today is entirely my
