The hospital director's priority was to get rid of Jennifer as soon as possible. Only by doing so could they minimize the hospital's involvement in the incident.Even if they went to court, they could push all the responsibility to Jennifer. That way, most of the money would come from her, while the hospital would only need to pay a small portion.But of course, Nathan was fully aware of the director's intention. "Didn't the patient's family say they were willing to settle privately? Let's go with that then," he said solemnly.The hospital director looked at Nathan in shock upon hearing those words.In the next second, he grew even angrier. "Settle it privately? Do you know how much the family wants for a settlement?" the hospital director questioned. "One million dollars! Are you saying the hospital should pay? "Do you want us to fork out one million dollars just to clean up an intern's mess? Dr. Lowe, have you lost your mind after being abroad? Do you think the hospital is a

The more Khloe thought about it the more indignant she grew. "Jennifer, others may not know what kind of person you are, but I know perfectly well. Do you think you can win Dr. Lowe over, and he'll let you do whatever you want in this department by seducing him? Don't be naive!" she sneered.Jennifer looked at Khloe with disdain. "Ms. Carter, are those really the kind of things an attending should be saying? "With all this time on your hands, why not improve your professional skills? That way, you won't have another intern taking the fall for you next time!"Khloe stared at Jennifer's retreating figure, seething with anger. She could not believe the latter had the guts to mock her for being stripped of her right to take on interns by Nathan. Khloe immediately marched to Nathan's office.Nathan was displeased at the sight of her. "What is it?"Khloe responded sarcastically, "Dr. Lowe, Jennifer just told me you'll be her attending physician from now on. "As an esteemed prof

Jennifer shot Quincy a glare. "Alright, that's enough. The more you say, the more absurd it sounds. Dr. Lowe is my mentor, and I respect him, okay? What you're saying is out of line."Yet, Quincy persisted, "So what if he's your mentor? Many teacher-student relationships end well. You're not a third party who comes between a family and tears it apart."I heard Dr. Lowe is single. I also think he might have feelings for you. Otherwise, with his position, why would he go out of his way to the extent of opposing the director for an intern?"Jennifer urged, "Oh, come on. Just go study, okay?"Her mind was in disarray after listening to what Quincy said. So, she pushed her friend, saying, "Goodbye!"Even as Quincy entered the elevator, she reminded Jennifer, "I wasn't joking. Think about it!"Jennifer quickly shook her head, trying to clear her mind of the irrelevant thoughts.…When she arrived at Robert's ward that night, Maxwell was already there. Seeing that she had returned,

Still, Jennifer needed to restrain herself. Otherwise, she would be perpetually trapped in this cage called "love", with no way to escape. Her eyes were somewhat red, her voice breaking as she said, "Dr. Lowe… He didn't hurt me. It's not what you think!""The biggest taboo in the workplace is having an inappropriate relationship with your superior. What Nathan did has crossed the line," Maxwell replied earnestly.He continued, "If word gets out that he paid one million dollars to resolve the issue with the patient's family for you, you'll be the one facing all the backlash! But he'll still be the esteemed professor with patients lining up for his surgeries."You, on the other hand, will be seen as someone who climbs the ladder by currying favor with the boss. That's a terrible label to have. Do you understand what I'm saying?"Jennifer took a deep breath before uttering, "Thank you for your reminder. From now on, I'll be careful.""Return the one million dollars to him tomorrow.

After returning to the department, Jennifer did not feel good either. Since she was now under the direct supervision of Nathan, no other doctors dared to assign her tasks.Apart from his surgical and outpatient duties, Nathan spent most of his time teaching at the school. Thus, he was not free to supervise Jennifer.Jennifer felt idle. She was eager to work, yet no tasks were awaiting her. Many interns envied her, saying, "Jennifer, you're so lucky! You're under the big shot's wing, but there's nothing for you to do. "You only need to work a few hours a day, and then you can clock out. Unlike us, we still have to be on duty, with endless tasks to complete."Jennifer hurriedly replied, "If there's anything you haven't finished, let me help you. I have nothing to do now, anyway."She yearned to be overwhelmed with work, rather than feeling useless as she did now.At that moment, Khloe returned from her rounds and overheard their conversation. She flashed an enigmatic smile a
