LOGINHe could not help asking about it.But the guard who spoke first immediately stopped Joseph.“What’s the problem? My partner just suddenly needed to use the restroom. You’re not saying he’s not even allowed to do that, are you?”Joseph did not believe that explanation for a second.The two of them had been standing here the entire time without mentioning anything about leaving, yet the moment he arrived, one of them suddenly needed the restroom?Just thinking about it made it obvious something was wrong.Up until now, Joseph actually believed he was doing a decent job acting like a real doctor.He had even been secretly impressed with himself for not exposing any flaws.But now, realization finally hit him.They had probably seen through him long ago.These guards had simply been playing along while stalling for time.Joseph instantly understood he could not stay here any longer.Otherwise, who knew what kind of trouble would follow?If this attempt failed, there could still be another
If he blew his cover now, then everything he had done up until this point would have been for nothing.Forget how furious Yvonne would be afterward—even Joseph himself would never forgive his own failure.Since he had already decided to do this, then he had to see it through to the end.Otherwise, even he would despise himself for backing out halfway.After all, he had already promised Yvonne that this mission would either succeed or destroy him trying.There was no way Joseph could tolerate failure.So, he quickly began covering for himself.“Our hospital already held meetings about this incident before,” Joseph explained smoothly. “That’s why security and monitoring have become much stricter afterward.“That’s also why the hospital specifically sent me over to keep a closer eye on Mr. Lewis’ condition. Leaving him here alone without additional supervision would make the hospital uneasy too.”Joseph spoke with complete confidence, not even blinking as he faced the two guards.In his m
The moment Joseph said that, alarm bells instantly went off in both guards’ minds.Something about this “doctor” was definitely wrong.After all, almost everyone in the hospital already knew why the two of them were stationed outside this room.So, for this random doctor to suddenly say something like that made them immediately suspicious.Anyone working in the hospital should have known exactly why security around Daniel’s room was so strict.Not long ago, someone had already tried using the excuse of a medical checkup to get into the room and harm Daniel.Fortunately, they had discovered it in time. Otherwise, the consequences would have been disastrous.But the doctor standing in front of them now clearly knew nothing about any of it.How could that possibly make sense?Especially since Daniel’s case had caused such a massive uproar recently.Very few people in the hospital were unaware of it.Yet this doctor somehow did not know.The two guards exchanged a quick glance, instantly u
The man who spoke narrowed his eyes slightly, growing even more suspicious.“Of course you don’t need my permission.”Joseph secretly let out a breath of relief.Then, in an indignant tone, he snapped, “If you already know that, then why are you still blocking the door? What exactly are you wasting time for?“Do I seriously need to repeat myself over and over again? You two are just security. Since when do I need to explain every medical procedure to you in detail?”Joseph fully slipped into the role of a doctor.Right now, he was supposed to be medical staff. Why would he need anyone else’s approval to examine a patient?Besides, was he really supposed to answer to two guards standing outside a hospital room? The idea itself sounded ridiculous.At that moment, Joseph kept reminding himself of his identity and forced away every trace of hesitation.The moment he finished speaking, he stepped forward, preparing to push past the two men and head into the room.But the guard who had spoke
Once this was over, he would not have to worry about any of it anymore.He could return overseas to find Judy. Her wedding date was getting closer and closer, and Joseph was already growing restless staying in the country.All he wanted now was to get back to her as soon as possible so he could deal with her situation directly instead of remaining trapped here wasting time.No matter what, Judy was someone incredibly important to him.There was no way he could stand by and watch her marry someone else. Just the thought of it was enough to make Joseph feel like he could not breathe.That was why the only thing he could do now was complete the task Yvonne gave him as quickly as possible, so he would no longer have to remain here.Otherwise, the longer things dragged on, the more unpredictable everything would become.And Joseph did not even dare imagine what kind of complications might arise later.At that moment, dressed in a white coat, he moved calmly through the hospital corridors.E
“I’m sorry. This was my fault.”Lucas pulled Aurora into his arms, holding her close against him.His voice was gentle as he tried to comfort her.“Rora, I really didn’t think things through properly. All I wanted was to protect you, but I forgot that you’re the person directly involved in all of this. “If I keep everything from you, of course you’re going to overthink things.”As he spoke, his hand gently rested against Aurora’s stomach.“I should’ve understood that from the beginning instead of standing here hesitating over everything.“And honestly, keeping you in the dark probably would’ve made things worse. You would’ve stressed yourself out even more, and that could affect the baby too. So, this really is my fault. I’m sorry.”Lucas apologized earnestly again and again, his eyes filled with nothing but heartache for her.Originally, Aurora had only meant to tease him a little. She never expected him to apologize so sincerely over and over again.She had only wanted to see just h
The man she liked should have been someone like Lucas—upright, steady, someone who could truly shoulder responsibility.But Lucas already had someone by his side.She couldn’t become a third party and intrude on that.After turning it over again and again, even now, Yvonne couldn’t pinpoint what she
After all, Aurora’s credibility with him was exceptionally strong.Between the two of them, whom to choose and what carried more weight was something the director was very clear about.More importantly, Yvonne no longer had any credibility with him at all.“Mr. Smith, are you sure you’ve thought thi
Yvonne’s presence was already affecting her mood at work. The job was irritating enough as it was, and now she had to deal with someone as troublesome as Yvonne.Sometimes, the staff truly felt helpless. Why did people at the top insist on fussing over such trivial things?She was already so wealthy
Yvonne might not have thought about this before, but after realizing it, she had been acting on it all along.Michelle also noticed the look in her daughter’s eyes.Even though she still had many reservations, things had already reached this point, leaving her feeling cornered.Even if she did not a
