The event was reaching its end, and Jenny finally relaxed. This kind of setting didn't suit her, so she would have to avoid them in the future if she could.However, hadn't her brother said he would attend? Where was he?Jenny looked around for Gilbert and Zack, but found neither. Just as she was about to give up, she caught sight of a familiar face.Sobering, she got up and walked over.When Jenny caught her, Stephanie had been carefully avoiding the crowd. She had nearly no presence at all, so she was in disbelief when she was caught.She had been so careful. How was it that she was still discovered?Jenny had no clue what was running around in Stephanie's head. She patted the other woman's shoulder and said unpleasantly, "Steph Walker, please explain."She was done for. Jenny was furious. Only when Jenny was mad would she call Stephanie "Steph Walker."Stephanie was stiff as she turned around. Faced with Jenny's thunderous expression, she said with an awkward chuckle, "I rus
Stephanie fidgeted anxiously. After a beat, she said, "It's just that the situation between us is a little complicated. The point is, I can't explain it right now. Don't bother with it.""Are you sure he's not a scammer?" Jenny asked suspiciously."I'm sure of it." Stephanie nodded. Of that point, she was certain.Since Stephanie was so sure, Jenny felt bad about asking further. After all, these were Stephanie's private matters. She had to give her friend some time. "Alright. Just take care of yourself.""Of course." Stephanie nodded, but her heart ached.When it came to matters of the heart, she had no resistance at all. She'd already given it all up. The thing was, she still had no clue what she meant to him."Mr. Spade!"Suddenly, someone cried out further ahead. Jenny's focus was instantly drawn there, where she found an old man with snowy hair crumpled on the ground."What happened?" Alec asked, rushing over."Mr. Spade collapsed!" a man in a suit said. His expression was
The old man was obviously better once he had the oxygen mask on. Jenny heaved a sigh of relief. They could probably hang in there until the ambulance arrived.She was focusing entirely on the old man. She didn't notice that the gazes everyone had of her had shifted.Ten minutes later, the ambulance arrived. Jenny was going into the ambulance with the paramedics when Alec asked, "Are you going, too?""I'm the only one who can perform this surgery in Parrington Hospital," she said calmly. There was no drama in her tone. She said nothing else and sat in the ambulance, disappearing from their sight.Once they were gone, people whispered, "Just who is she? She's Alec's ex-wife, Mr. Birkett's mentee, and the most famous neurosurgeon in Parrington Hospital. This is just too extraordinary."It was no easy feat being just one of these, yet she was all of them. What was more, she mastered everything. It was not something that could be done by just anybody."That's right. I used to look dow
Alec was now the biggest shareholder of Parrington Hospital, and he had already notified the hospital. So, when Jenny rushed to the hospital, nurses were already waiting at the entrance. Even the chairman was there, proving that the old man was not someone to be taken lightly.However, Jenny was in no mood to think of this. She got out of the ambulance and asked, "Is the operating room prepared?""Yes, it is," someone answered.She nodded in satisfaction and said to the paramedics on the ambulance, "Send him straight into the emergency ward. Prepare for surgery."Done speaking, she walked toward the operating room. When she walked past the chairman, he grabbed her hand and said, "How is it? Is it going to work?"Although he knew of Jenny's capabilities, the old man was just too important for him not to worry."Relax. I'll do my best." She didn't linger and went straight to the operating room, preparing for the surgery.At the same time, a young man held a glass of red wine in a
"That's true, but I'm still thankful that you have saved his life." He added, "I'm Christopher Spade. The man in there is my father.""Jenny." She had a good impression of him. On top of that, the surgery was successful. She was in a relaxed state."Miss Jenny, would you mind telling me about my father's condition in detail?" Christopher asked a little embarrassedly.Jenny nodded and beckoned for him to follow her. "Yes. Follow me to the office."As a doctor, it was her duty to explain a patient's situation to their family. They walked toward the office, ignoring Alec completely.It was only after a few steps that Jenny felt something amiss.Where was Alec?She turned back, but he was nowhere in sight. When had he gone? Why hadn't she realized?"Miss Jenny?" Christopher was puzzled when she stopped. He didn't know what she was looking for.She came back to her senses and shook her head. "It's nothing. Let's go."Outside the hospital, Alec opened the door and sat down. "Go to
Vincent was dishing out the truth. Alec thought it made sense. His anger at having been ignored by Jenny gradually dissipated.He smirked. "Is that so? Well, what should I do, according to you?""Nothing much. Time will tell," Vincent said."Speak in a language that I understand!""All I'm saying is that as long as you don't give up, you'll be bound to move her one day," Vincent said, smiling dryly.Was that so? Alec felt that Jenny's heart was made of stone. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move her.What was more, there were so many men around her. There was Gilbert, Max, and now Christopher. Although Christopher hadn't done much yet, Alec felt that he was interested in Jenny.Could this be a man's instinct?In Parrington Hospital, when Christopher learned of his father's condition and understood just how dire the situation was, he instantly felt even more indebted to Jenny."Truly, thank you. If not for your quick saving, my father would probably be in Heaven by now
A few days later, Mr. Spade was transferred from the ICU to a standard unit. This made people relieved."Good morning." Christopher walked into Jenny's office with breakfast in his hands.They had grown closer in the past few days. They weren't exactly great friends just yet, but they were, at the very least, friends. This was going well for him."Good morning." Jenny looked up at him and saw the food. She said, "You really don't have to do this. Saving people is what I'm supposed to do.""Oh, this is not just because you saved my father," Christopher said, putting the breakfast before Jenny. Their gazes met.Instantly, Jenny felt as if something had struck her chest. Her knees nearly gave way.What did that mean?Was Christopher looking at her romantically, or was she mistaken?Romantic?It couldn't be, surely. They weren't very close.She smiled wanly and said, "You'll cause misunderstandings like this.""What misunderstanding?" Christopher teased. Then, he said earnestly,
"Well, why don't we have dinner together?" Christopher invited once more. She had refused him the last time, but she probably wouldn't now.As expected, Jenny nodded, smiling. "Of course."She would figure out what his plan was.They decided on a time and place, and Christopher left the office to look after his father.Once he was out of sight, Jenny wiped the smile off her face. She took out her phone and called Zack. "Help me investigate someone. It's Christopher Spade from Bardoff City."Christopher walked into the VIP ward. He wasn't smiling any longer. "You're here." Mr. Spade lay against the headrest with a few documents in his hands. He looked up at his son. Seeing his grim expression, he asked, "What? Has something happened at the Spades?""No." Christopher shook his head and walked up to his father. "I invited Jenny out for dinner," he said.Mr. Spade was hesitant. "Did she agree to it?"Christopher hummed in response. He seemed calm and collected, which surprised Mr
