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'
Clint and Tracy panicked. They looked at the two policemen with unease.But Lizzie remained calm. She stepped up nonchalantly. "Officers, what have we done to warrant the two of you taking the time to come here?"Then, she smiled. "If it's because of Flora, that's our family's business. We can settle this ourselves, there is no need to trouble you."Faye, let's stand together as a family. We can smoothen any misunderstandings out. Why do we need to make such a big fuss out of it and involve the police?"Lizzie looked at Faye and tugged at Clint's sleeve, silently asking him to say something.Clint knew that once this matter was brought to the police, they would be in a lot of trouble. Who knew what other things would pop up later on.Now that the Brown Corporation was under fire, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, plus the police, would ring up Clint at any moment to ask him about the company.Now, he was terrified just at the sight of the police."Lizzie is right, Faye. We
The corners of Faye's lips twitched. Her somber expression was replaced with that of someone rendered speechless.How could this man be C?She'd probably given it too much thought.C was someone who had spent thousands of dollars searching for her on the dark web.Since last year, he'd had his sights set on her, searching for news related to Dr. Connor.Under normal circumstances, if he was someone who desperately needed her, she would have helped him.But the problem was that C was someone from the Shaw family.The Shaws were the largest family in Jorn City. They were so complicated that it exceeded Faye's expectations.She'd heard that C was so anxious to find her because he wanted her to treat Mr. Shaw Senior.Mr. Shaw Senior was once an almighty person. He was the one who managed the Shaws all these years.Now that he'd fallen, the Shaws had become chaotic.What with their own family politics and them being wary of the outside world that was eyeing them, the Shaws were n
The car drove on steadily.It was quiet in the car. Only soft music could be heard.It seemed like Cedric was focusing on driving, but he was actually waiting for Faye's answer. He hadn't expected that Dr. Connor would suddenly come to treat Faye's mother.All these years, he'd exhausted every method trying to invite her, but failed.How could Faye and Dr. Ziegler get her in so easily?Insider info had told him that Alice had arrived in the country with a pack of technologically advanced medical supplies. Only then was Cedric certain that this mysterious Dr. Connor would really appear.He had done so many preparations just to catch her. However, even though this was in Jeorgia, his own territory, he still failed.He just couldn't understand how that woman had managed to escape his traps. He was eager to meet her.When Faye asked him about Dr. Connor, Cedric began wondering if Faye could get her to appear. Even if she couldn't, Faye might know something.However, there was stil
