Everyone was puzzled. How could it be such a coincidence? Both of them had something urgent? Belinda also sensed something was off. If she had misheard earlier, what about now? Her eyes darted back and forth between Wayne and Scarlett, trying to figure out what was going on. "Dr. Norman, what urgent matter do you have?" she asked cautiously. Scarlett wanted to blurt out that she was wayne's wife and let him explain everything to Belinda. But in reality, she didn't dare. She couldn't afford to offend this man. Having already lost the chance to work at the Second District Hospital, she couldn't risk losing her job here as well. So, she shrank back like a quail, "My grandpa called me back for something urgent. I couldn't refuse. I didn't expect President Gray to have something urgent too. What a coincidence, haha—" She forced out a laugh. She hoped to muddle through, but Wayne had to stir the pot. "Coincidentally, my grandpa called me too. Where does your grandpa live?
A sudden noise startled Scarlett. As she turned around, she accidentally knocked over a box, which fell to the ground with a loud clang! Shane glared at her, his immense anger making his expression terrifying. She hurriedly tried to explain, "I... I didn't mean to..." As she spoke, she crouched down to pick up the box. Just as her fingers were about to touch it, her wrist was grabbed with such force that it felt like her bones might shatter. Pain! It felt like her hand was about to break and cold sweat broke out from the intense pain. Wayne's eyes were bloodshot with rage. "Get your filthy hands off it!" With that, he violently shoved her away.scarllet was caught off guard and fell backward, hitting her head on the corner of a cabinet. The sharp pain left her momentarily numb, her head buzzing. She could feel warm liquid trickling down and reached back to touch her neck, feeling something sticky. No surprise, it was blood, but not much. She lifted her eyes, peering through a
Old Master Gray had already anticipated this. At that moment, Butler Ronald seemed to understand as well. "You wanted me to find a heart..." Before he could finish his sentence, Scarlett emerged with a medical kit. Butler Ronald immediately fell silent. Old Master Gray stood up from the sofa, leaning on his cane, and said to Scarlett, "Follow me." With that, Old Master Gray headed towards the study. Scarlett placed the medical kit on the table and followed him inside. Sitting down in the chair behind his desk, Old Master Gray's expression turned sorrowful. "Wayne's parents passed away early. I raised him. During his school years, he stayed in the dorms, and after graduating from college, he moved out of the old house to take over the company. He's been so busy ever since that he hardly ever comes back." Old Master Gray's voice was low. Wayne's father was his eldest son, and the pain of outliving one's child never truly fades, no matter how many years pass. There were reasons w
"Dean, why are you asking me this?" Scarlett Norman felt a faint sense of foreboding."You should know that being blacklisted in the professional field means..." The dean hesitated, "It means your career as a doctor might be over. No hospital will dare to hire you."Scarlett was stunned by this sudden turn of events.Her hands clenched and unclenched repeatedly. "Dean, I love this job, and I can't afford to lose it.""Even if I wanted to help, I can't." The dean felt regretful. He had always admired Scarlett's dedication and skill as a doctor.But he didn't have the power to protect her."If you want to keep your job, you need to talk to Wayne. You offended him, so apologize. It's better than losing your job," the dean advised kindly."I..."She hesitated.She knew very well that wayne's prejudice against her couldn't be resolved with just an apology.Wayne's treatment of her wasn't just because she almost damaged his precious item last night. He was also unhappy about her being his w
Christopher wasn't entirely sure either.He was equally puzzled when he saw the two of them laughing and chatting over a meal. It was a surprise to him as well.If he hadn't happened to pass by that restaurant, he wouldn't have found out."How about we call Dr. Bryan and ask him?" Christopher suggested.Wayne responded with a nonchalant "Hmm."Christopher went to make the call.About twenty minutes later, Bryan arrived at the company.As soon as he walked in, Bryan said, "I actually have something I wanted to talk to you about...""Do you know Scarlett?"Bryan was cut off mid-sentence. He paused and nodded, "Yes, I know her. She's my classmate from Medical School. She was the one who treated your injury last time."Wayne leaned back into the brown leather sofa, his dark eyes flickering, his long, thick eyelashes trembling slightly. So it was her that day?This was indeed unexpected."By the way," Bryan walked over and sat down, "Wayne, could you be a bit nicer to her?"Wayne raised an
She had already made up her mind, but the thought of facing him made her hesitate.His violent outburst from yesterday was still fresh in her memory!Taking a deep breath, she mustered the courage to step into the house.As she pushed open the door, she was greeted by Mrs. Robert.With a warm smile, Mrs. Robert asked, "Back from work?"Scarlett nodded and glanced inside, only to see someone sitting on the couch,his face hidden from the view.Mrs. Robert said, "Mr. Gray is here."Scarlett changed her shoes and walked in, forcing a smile as she greeted, "Good evening, Mr. Gray."Wayne put down the financial magazine he was reading and glanced at her.His tone was dripping with sarcasm, "Mr. Gray?"This woman, refusing to divorce him yet acting so distant?Was she playing hard to get?Scarlett had already apologized once, but she sincerely repeated, "I didn't mean to touch your things. I'm really sorry.""Do you really think that just saying sorry will make me forgive you?" Wayne leaned
Scarlett was dreaming. In her dream, two giant snakes were coiling around her, squeezing the breath out of her. Just when she thought she would suffocate, a light appeared, and she grabbed onto it desperately...She thought she was about to be saved, but then she was jolted awake.Opening her eyes, she saw a tall man standing in front of her, his clothes disheveled, looking like he was ready to devour her.She instantly woke up fully, scrambling to the corner of the sofa, her voice trembling and hoarse from sleep, "W-what do you want?"Her voice was raspy from just waking up, with a hint of a tremble.Wayne let out a mocking laugh. Clearly, she had deliberately messed up his robe, and now she was pretending to be scared?"Isn't it you who wanted a man and pretended to be asleep to make a move on me?"Scarlett's breath hitched, her fingers slowly curling up as she stubbornly glared at him, "I did not!"Wayne obviously didn't believe her. "Really?"Without warning, he leaned in closer.H
Wayne had not slept in the room where she had spent the night.Everything inside was neat and untouched.She walked in, took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and then headed out. She went to the hospital, only to find that her job had been reassigned by the director.There was no place for her anymore.Feeling dejected, she turned around.As she walked out of the hospital, she stood on the steps, knowing deep down that she had no other choice.That evening.She arrived at Green Garden.Standing at the entrance, just as she was about to go in, she saw Belinda.Why was Belinda here?It didn't take long for her to recall Belinda's connection with Wayne, and it all made sense.She stepped inside, almost as if guided by an unseen force, and followed Belinda.She watched as Belinda walked into a private room, but inside wasn't wayne.Instead, it was a wealthy guy from their college days who had once pursued Belinda.Despite his wealth, he wasn't very good-looking, which was why Belinda
