INICIAR SESIÓN“There’s no need to be too anxious. Booking an appointment for the morning after tomorrow is just the same.”Mrs. Levitt responded, “Oh, I see. If you married Dr. Jones, she could easily get me an appointment at any time. Son, if you can’t let her go, then you should try harder. Having connections in the hospital makes it easier when you’re trying to get medical treatment in a big city.“You could try to make it a fait accompli with her first and get her pregnant. Once she’s carrying your child, she’ll have to marry you.” Mrs. Levitt suggested it to her son.Kent’s face fell as he said, “Mom, Sheila has never even gone out with me alone. How am I supposed to do that?“She works every day, and on her days off, she helps out at her family’s clinic. She doesn’t go anywhere else. I simply don’t have that kind of opportunity.”He could not possibly force himself on Sheila, could he?If he dared to force himself on Sheila, he would be done for. The Jones family would never let him off.
Kent’s success had allowed them to speak with more confidence in their hometown. They could not let him stay single his whole life.If Kent really managed to marry that junior of his, his parents would naturally be happy. Having a daughter-in-law from a wealthy family, who was also a doctor, would give them even more bragging rights back in their hometown.However, if their son could not marry her, then Mary would be the obvious choice. Though she was not a doctor, she was a nurse and understood medical principles.Moreover, Mary was very caring and capable at work, who was much better than that Dr. Jones they had secretly gone to see.That Dr. Jones seemed like a delicate young lady who had never done a day of hard work. Marrying a woman like that would be fine for city life, but if they returned to their hometown, she probably would not be able to handle farm work.It was only because they coveted the Jones family’s status that they had eagerly hoped their son could marry Dr. Jo
Mary smiled and said, “It was the least I could do.”She stood up and walked toward Kent, asking in concern, “Dr. Levitt, why are you back so late? How did it go with Dr. Jones?“Are you hungry? Should I make you something to eat?”“No need,” Kent replied coolly, “It’s fine. You should head back now.“Oh, this milk tea is for you.”He handed her the milk tea.Mary knew it definitely was not originally intended for her, but she accepted it anyway, looking delighted. “It’s my favorite flavor. Thank you, Dr. Levitt.”She turned back, walked to the sofa, and set down the milk tea before going to pour a glass of water for Kent.Kent walked over and saw an exquisite fruit platter on the coffee table, filled with a variety of cut fruits. Without even asking, he knew it was Mary who had prepared it for his parents.She often came over to tidy up his place and do some chores, so she was very familiar with his home and his parents.When he was not around, she acted like the lady of the
“Dr. Levitt, I don’t suppose you’ve ever watched a movie with Sheila, have you? I watched one with her, and we even went shopping together.” After he was done bragging, Alex straightened up, turned around, and left.Kent watched his retreating figure, grinding his teeth in jealousy.It was true that in all the years he had known Sheila, he had never watched a movie with her or gone shopping with her alone. He had only gone shopping with her a few times in group settings.The fact was, Sheila did not love him.As Sheila had said, if she were going to love him, she would have fallen for him long ago. There was no need to wait until now.Had Sheila really started to like Alex?Apart from being good-looking and having a bit of family money, what was so lovable about a guy like Alex?A man like Alex might just end up like Sheila’s first boyfriend.Though Kent inwardly complained, he had to face reality. Sheila’s attitude toward Alex was very good, unlike her attitude toward him. Bef
Alex’s question left Kent speechless. He continued, “I’m afraid that if you married Sheila, your relatives back home would expect her to arrange hospital stays or referrals to better hospitals unconditionally whenever they needed.“It’s true that you like Sheila, but it’s also true that you’re attracted to her family background. Actually, it’s more like you’re satisfied with her family background. Her background and her family’s connections can help you a lot.“That’s the real reason you haven’t accepted the feelings of that nurse who admires you and instead keep pestering Sheila, isn’t it?”Kent’s expression twisted, and he denied it. “I’ve never thought of using Sheila for anything. If my relatives back home need help, we’re all family. If Sheila is willing to help, that’s fine; if she isn’t, I won’t force her.“I like Sheila for who she is, not for her family background.”Alex chuckled, “If Sheila had the same family background as that nurse of yours, would you still like her?
“You can’t keep relying on your cousin and his wife forever, now can you?“I’m different. I’ve known Sheila for a long time, and we’re in the same field. I’m successful in my career, young and capable, and I love Sheila very, very much. If Sheila marries me, she’ll definitely be very happy.”Alex said coolly, “Dr. Levitt, you may be successful and capable, but it’s a pity Sheila doesn’t love you. She just doesn’t.“Love can’t be forced. If it’s there, it’s there; if it’s not, it’s not. I advise you to be more sensible, let go of your feelings for Sheila sooner, and stop pestering her.“I’ve heard there’s a woman who loves you very, very much by your side, Dr. Levitt. It would be better for you to cherish the person right in front of you. Sheila doesn’t belong to you, and she never will. I suggest you give up on that idea completely.”Kent’s face darkened.He had met Sheila first, but now he had Mary by his side. To make matters worse, he had slept with Mary last night. Even thoug
Rosalie did not even hesitate before replying: [You said it yourself. As long as I helped ice your face and reduce the swelling, that was enough. When I left, the swelling was barely noticeable unless someone looked closely.[You let me go. Now you’re making new demands? River York, are you trying
Serenity could not help but laugh. “At least let me get inside and sit down for a drink of water first.”River smiled sheepishly and quickly ushered Serenity into the house. Once inside, he hurriedly poured her a glass of water and handed it to her respectfully. “Here you go, Serenity.”Serenity t
With a blissful family life softening his icy demeanor, the current Zachary appeared far more approachable, which, unfortunately, made him even more of a magnet for unwanted attention. Some overconfident women even had the audacity to approach Serenity and express that they were willing to recogni
“Rosalie, did you say something? I couldn’t quite hear you. Maybe you should sit next to me.”River grinned, pulling out the chair beside him in invitation.“It would make it easier to serve you, too.”Rosalie shot him another glare. He just kept smiling.Of course, there was no way she was movi
