This time, it was really not Jessica who said it. So she said righteously, “What do you mean heard it from me? I just came over because I heard there’s quite a commotion here.”“Really?”“Bro, why are you like this? Do you have to be so charmed by Natalie?”It was not that John disliked his sister, rather, he disliked stupid people.Unfortunately, his sister was born stupid. Ever since she was small, aside from having fun, she did not know anything else. The Winters even bought her her degree.If Huahe Hospital did not use the Winters’ medical equipment, she would not even be qualified to be an intern there.Maybe Jessica never bothered to reflect on herself because of this reason. This was not like the Winters at all.So, John was not really fond of his sister ever since he was small. Now, she kept on talking bad about Natalie. His face fell. “Watch your words.”“I’m being extremely courteous. I don’t know why you would like that kind of woman…”“At least she never talked bad
When Natalie heard Molly’s voice, she froze.When she finally realized what she said, she turned around curiously and looked at that child with puzzlement.At that moment, Natalie was still wearing pajamas. The wound on her neck had recovered but there was a scar left.The little girl was feeling guilty. Even though she did not say anything, but her gaze was on Natalie’s neck. When she looked at the scar, she lowered her head subconsciously. However, her tone was still emphatic. “My mommy will definitely come back. At that time, my daddy will have my mommy. Don’t even try to destroy my family, you vixen.”After hearing this, Natalie finally understood. “So, you’re trying to get your daddy to break up with me by doing all these?”“Hmph! So what if I am?”“I want to break up with your daddy too. If this is your goal too, then let’s work together.”It would be a lie if Natalie said she did not feel anything for this little girl when she saw her again. However…In short, she’s an a
At that moment, it was like all sounds disappeared. Only his voice was replaying endlessly in her ear.She followed him out of the office stupidly until they got to the elevator. She only came to her senses when she heard the employees gossipping about them. They were holding hands the entire time.How should she describe this feeling?To other people, hand-holding might only be a minor thing. To Natalie, however, even if hand-holding is a minor thing, but it was more romantic and intimate than kissing.He was the only person that held her hand with true intentions aside from Luke. Plus, he was also her husband.That feeling…“Who’s that?”“I wanted to ask as well! She’s so beautiful and she can stand next to Mr. Winters. Is that his girlfriend?”“I think she might be.”“Wow! I’m so envious of her!”“You should just envy her when you’re as beautiful as her, your boobs as big as hers and your legs as long as hers.”There was a lot of noise along the way. They were saying all
She did not know how she finished her food. Eventually, when she came back to her senses, John had already taken out his wallet to pay.“Eh! Let me. I said I’ll buy you lunch.”He blocked her hand that was reaching out for her purse. “How could I make my wife pay?”W-Wife?Even though they were legally wedded, but she was still not used to him calling her his wife.Her hand that was clutching her purse stopped in its tracks. She did not know what to do with her hand now.She watched him pay the bill and then followed him out of the restaurant. He was about to lead her to the car when she said suddenly as if she just thought of something, “Um, since I’m here, do you think I should just continue to do my work?”“...”He did not say anything. He only turned around and looked at her. Natalie waved her hands immediately and explained. “I didn’t mean anything. I just feel that I can’t help you with your work anyway. I’ll affect you if I stay there next to you, so…”“Okay.”“Eh? You
It was one thing to be afraid, but she could not bring herself to go seeking trouble when she knew that there was going to be trouble.So Natalie said to Sean, “Director, I want to do surgery.”She said this is a tactful way but her intention was clear. Sean was a smart man but he still asked, “Why? Are you afraid that people will learn from your experience?”Natalie smiled and said, “I am the one who wants to learn for you. Plus, I don’t need any special skills to perform surgery. I get better the more I perform, no?”Perhaps Sean was touched when she said she wanted to learn from him. He pondered for a while and smiled. “Do you really want to do surgery?”“Yeah! The main reason I come to the thoracic surgery department is to learn from Dr. Quinton.”Since Natalie started interning at Huahe Hospital, she stopped calling Sean as Dr. Quinton. She would call him Dr. Sean or Physician Quinton instead and then recently she would address him as Director Quinton. Today, however, this
Sean was a man of his word. He said he would let her tag along in the surgery and indeed, he let her be his second assistant in the afternoon. The surgeries in the thoracic surgery department would take a very long time. When she finished the surgery, it was almost 9 pm.When Natalie changed her clothes and went back to her office, Zoey came looking for her just in time. “Hey, can you get off work now?”“Yeah!”“I’ll wait for you. And then we’ll pick up Howie from my house.”When she heard this, Natalie’s gaze shifted. She apologized. “I can’t. I can’t go to your house today.”“Why? Even though I don’t mind letting your brother stay with me, but wouldn’t he’ll worry about you?”She knew that, so that was why she felt so awkward.However, at this period where she did not have agency over herself, she needed to think twice before doing anything. Plus, she rather let Howard live with Zoey instead of living with the Winters. At least there was someone to take care of him.So, she
"Nat." He called a name with a tone only used outside of the hospital. "Are you hiding something from me?" He asked. "N… No…" "What's the story with Panlong District then?" Sean Quinton was born and raised in a poor family, though he became friends with Luke Shears in college. He had a lasting impression of Natalie Snowden, who was Luke Shears's ex-fiance. Later, she enrolled in the same university he was in and majored in thoracic surgery. That was what made them closer to each other. Eight years ago, the Snowden family fell from grace. Luke had ditched Natalie in favor of Jessica Winters. The Snowden family never rose again after that, and Natalie Snowden was removed from her position as the top young mistress of Hua City… Since then, Sean had been secretly taking care of Natalie. He had followed her progress closely for the past eight years. No matter as her senior in university or as her superior at work, he did not for her to be led astray. That question might no
She was panicking, but she knew that she had to remain calm when dealing with his tantrums. Otherwise, she would only worsen the situation. "He's a director at the hospital, and is nothing more than my superior!" "Is that so?" John Winters evidently did not believe it. "His gaze when he looked like me told me otherwise!" "That's because of your attitude when you first came up to the floor. He was only worried about me." He raised an eyebrow. "So, does your male superior worry about all his subordinates?" Natalie Snowden had no reply. It was not because she had done something wrong, but because their relationship was truly something more than mere friends. She did not think that their relationship ought to be put into question, though John was right that Sean was more concerned about her than the other doctors. Even so, she felt that she should be able to explain their relationship to her husband, if not that her husband was John Winters. She felt a headache creeping
