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
The figure fleeing from the operating room was fast, but Cedric was faster. In an instant, he pressed the person against the wall."Dr. Connor … am I such a terrifying beast that you have to run from me like this?" Cedric smiled roguishly as he pulled the mask off the woman."Do you think you can escape me this time?" As he spoke, the smile on his handsome face froze when he saw the woman's face.Not many people had seen Dr. Connor's face, but all the information on her said that she was Danurian, with the distinctive features of a local woman. But the woman before him did not have those features. Instead, she was blonde-haired and blue-eyed."I'm sorry, C. You have the wrong person." Alice smiled and gently pushed Cedric away. She straightened her clothes before walking away enigmatically."Fuck!" Even though he was usually calm, Cedric lost his cool and kicked the wall. He'd been tricked! And so thoroughly, too.His expression was dark and his eyes red as he gritted out, "Dr. C
"Who are you trying to threaten? I'm your father. Why would I hurt your mother?" After saying this, Clint looked away.Yes, he felt guilty.Faye lounged lazily against the wall and kicked one foot up. Her narrowed eyes flashed with a cold light.She didn't say anything further and only looked at them frostily. Her gaze made it seem like she was regarding a bunch of criminals, which made Clint feel uncomfortable.Tracy was unhappy about this.Loudly, she said, "Faye, my parents and I got here early in the morning with food for your mother because we knew she was going to have surgery. We wanted to wish her a smooth surgery."What do you mean by saying all this? What do you mean by what we did to her? How could we do anything to her with so many people at the hospital?"As usual, Lizzie put on her kindly act. She pulled Clint and Tracy back and said, "Enough, Clint, Tracy. You're not children anymore. There's no need to get into a childish fight with Faye."She continued, "Flora'
