Faye could hear her heart beating in her ears."Ms. Fischer, these are the details of all the employees in the company's design department. I'll just place them on your desk. Is there anything else you need?"Though Faye sat in the head designer's office all morning, she spent her time daydreaming. Her heart kept beating out of control, whereas her cheeks were flushing heavily. All in all, she felt quite weird.Whenever she recalled how flirty Cedric had been in the elevator last night, Faye's heart started racing. This hadn't stopped since last night.Faye could hear Jamie's voice drifting into her ear more than once. But at the same time, it seemed as though she didn't hear her at all. She didn't respond to Jamie the whole time.Jamie was worried as she stayed frozen in place. She didn't know whether she should go back to work or wait there for Faye to respond.After a long time, Faye took a deep breath and came back to her senses, shaking herself out of the funk Cedric had c
Right after Faye stepped out of the hospital, Sherry got out of her car and walked in. Two minutes later, she showed up in Flora's ward. Coincidentally, the care worker was preparing dinner for Flora, so the ward was empty.Sherry knocked on the door before going inside. When she saw the pale but seemingly alert Flora in the bed, she put down the fruit basket in her hand with a smile. "Hello, Mrs. Brown."Flora looked up. When she saw the elegant woman in an expensive dress and elaborate makeup, she knew that her visitor was not someone to be underestimated. She nodded slightly and said, "Hello. You are …"Sherry stood before the bed and looked down at Flora. "My name is Sherry Young. I'm a member of the Shaw family."Flora's first thought upon hearing about the Shaw family was Cedric.Although Faye had said that Cedric was just a waiter, Flora didn't think that was true. Someone who was from a typical family couldn't possibly carry himself with Cedric's bearing. Even if he real
Faye's lips twitched as she saw Tracy in a heap on the ground. She gave a cold laugh and said, "You could have just apologized. There's no need to make a fool of yourself as well."Tracy was outraged. She climbed upright with difficulty and pointed at Faye, so furious that she couldn't speak. Faye folded her arms and looked at Tracy lazily. "If you don't want to end up at the police station, I'd advise you to shut up and get lost." Then, she shoved Tracy away and closed the door again. When she returned to her room, she put earplugs in and went back to sleep.Tracy kept cursing outside the door, only leaving in a huff once she was done. Coincidentally, that was when Cedric got home with dinner. He was right on time to see Tracy leave, mumbling as she went. She was holding her phone to her ear and seemed to be making a call."I heard that Faye got a job at Light Moon Designs because she has a good relationship with Mr. Colt. Keep your ears open for me on that. If it's true, f
Lincoln had taken Cedric's request to heart.After finishing work that day, he went downstairs to the design department to see Priscilla. At the same time, he wanted to leave instructions for Mr. Chandler to keep an eye out on Priscilla during this time.But when he stepped into the design department, he saw that Mr. Chandler was having a meeting with all the designers to assign them new tasks.Mr. Chandler even mentioned the new hires and especially welcomed them. To get them to integrate into the company faster, he also arranged for them to have new tasks.Mr. Chandler quickly handed out the assignments. When he got to the new hires, he coughed before looking over at Jay."I have a challenging project with me. We need a dedicated and patient designer with a more modern style to handle it. The process might be difficult, so of you three, I think it's not much suited to you girls."Mr. Chandler was about to ask Jay if he would try it out when Priscilla stood up."Mr. Chandler, I
"Ms. Brown, you can't just barge into the operating room." Dr. Jinks rushed in and tried to stop Faye.Clint called out in anger, "Faye Brown, y-you're a nutjob. Get out of there right now! Is an operating room some place you can just barge into?"He added, "If you're so rash, it will be your fault if anything happens to your mother. Yes, it would be your fault!" Clint gave a cold huff. He was starting to distance himself from the situation. Dr. Jinks followed Faye into the operating room, thinking that he had to get Faye out by any means necessary. After all, they only had to wait a little longer before Dr. Connor would get here. Then, Flora would be saved.If Faye went in and caused a ruckus now, it might delay treatment and cause even bigger problems. After all, the hospital had spent a lot of effort to get Dr. Connor here to perform the surgery on Flora.This kind of opportunity was a once-in-a-lifetime thing.From what he'd heard from Alice, Dr. Connor only accepted this su
In the operating room, the lights were bright. The surgery lasted from 1 pm or 2 pm and didn't pause at all until after 9 pm.Outside the operating room, Clint stayed all afternoon and only left after 6 pm. He couldn't stand it anymore, so he had Lizzie and Tracy waiting at the door and went to have dinner on his own.When he got back, he still didn't see Faye anywhere.He started cursing her. "Faye's still not back? That useless daughter. She keeps saying that she's worried about her mother, but she's nowhere to be found at such a crucial moment."Dr. Jinks came out from the operating room once to ask Clint if he'd seen Faye. He told Clint that he didn't find Faye inside.However, Clint never saw Faye outside either. She must have run off in secret.Tracy hid a laugh. "Is that right? Flora's fighting for her life in the operating room, but Faye's not waiting outside the door. She's run off instead!" Lizzie suddenly sighed, looking worried."That poor child, though. Her mother
Useless trash? A sharp look flashed through Cedric's eyes. He put his hands in his trouser pockets and flashed a roguish smile.Though he was smiling, he gave others a dangerous feeling. Clint shivered at the gloom that came off Cedric in waves.When Clint came back to his senses, his expression was displeased.Wasn't Cedric just a waiter? Why should he feel scared of a simple waiter?More laughable was this waiter himself. Where did he find his confidence to look at Clint in such a way?Just as Clint was about to explode in an outrage, Dr. Quinn cough. "Please don't cause a scene. With Dr. Connor here, the patient will be fine. Settle your other matters once the surgery ends."After Dr. Quinn said that, he put his mask back on and went back into the operating room.The light on top of the operating room was still lit. After a moment of bewilderment, Clint felt rage stuck in his chest. He wouldn't feel better until he let it all out. Wearing a dark expression, Clint glared a
A scream rang through the operating room. Then, Faye said icily and sarcastically, "Dr. Quinn, why are you ruining your own career when you've achieved so much at your age? How could you not value your own future and be willing to forget the ethics of being a doctor for some small benefits?""Since you can harm your patient in an operating room, then the hand you use for suturing might as well be broken."Faye took the needle from Dr. Quinn. Just as she was about to shove him away, Dr. Quinn fought back.Dr. Quinn suddenly grabbed a scalpel from the side and went at Faye viciously.Right then, he was like an uncontrollable beast. He had forgotten all about any ethics as a doctor. And he didn't care about the miracle doctor or whatever that stood before him, either.All he knew was that the consequences were going to be serious once people found out about what he did. Thus, he had to keep this woman under control and drag her down with him so that he could get out of the situatio
