Chapter 261

Jeremy's murmured words left Jane frozen.Her expression went blank for a moment, and her fingers hovered in midair.It was not until her phone rang that she hurriedly pulled her hand back and glanced at the screen.Jeremy opened his mouth, about to explain, but then his eyes landed on the caller ID.It read…"My Favorite Brother".Jeremy froze. Then, it hit him.Right. Jane had a family of her own. She had a brother of her own.He shook his head, pushing the ridiculous thought from his mind. Then, he pointed toward the street and gestured that he was leaving."Take your call. I'm heading back to the clinic."Jane stood there, dazed, with her phone still in her hand. Only after Jeremy spoke did she snap back to reality.She suddenly looked up and reached toward Jeremy's retreating figure, but in the end, no words came.Her expression turned complicated.She tightened her grip on the phone and stood there for a long moment before finally answering the call.…Back at the

As he spoke, he served a generous piece of meat onto Wendy's plate."I grew up in the countryside too. You don't have to be so formal around me. Eat as much as you want."Jeremy's words warmed Wendy's heart a little.She nodded firmly."Okay!"As they ate, their conversation gradually flowed more naturally.Jeremy asked, "By the way, you have been in Greenvale for a while now. Do you want to take a few days off and go see your parents? Angela will be away for the next few days anyway, and there should not be much going on at the clinic."Wendy paused, still holding her fork. Her expression tensed.She nodded, then slowly shook her head."I do... but I also don't."Jeremy looked at her. "What do you mean?"Wendy set down her fork and lowered her head. Her eyes were faintly red.Maybe it was because they had spent so much time together that Jeremy felt like someone she could trust. Or maybe she simply needed somewhere to let out everything she had been keeping bottled up.Sh

Jeremy could not help but be touched by her smile.He was genuinely happy for Wendy.Jeremy got up and brought out a nearly empty bottle of cherry wine, pouring a glass for each of them."Here, let's have a toast!"Wendy took the glass with both hands. As the rich, fruity aroma reached her, something about it felt strangely familiar. Her eyes brightened a little more.Following Jeremy's lead, she slowly raised her glass."Cheers!"…In the VIP ward of Hope Hospital, Zachary started going over tomorrow's plan in his head. He had just finished his phone call with Wendy.Once he had gone through everything, he finally sent Camilla a message."Camilla, I want to trade one wish for putting my name on the lung cancer treatment patent."After waiting for quite some time, a curt reply finally came."Fine. I'll have Kate contact you."Zachary's expression darkened.Before, Camilla would never have responded to him so coldly.Now, it seemed these wishes were the only thing still h

Chapter 264

Facing her father, Camilla could not hold it in any longer."That's right. Jeremy never once asked our family for anything. All he ever did was quietly take care of things. You kept making Mom treat him like an outsider in his own home, and that's what finally made such a good guy like him give up and leave!"She continued, "Dad, I did everything you asked. You promised you would approve of Jeremy and me. So why have you spent all this time tormenting him, both openly and behind his back?"Her voice rose as years of pent-up frustration finally spilled out, as if she meant to pour out every grievance she had been carrying all this time.Ralph listened silently.He knew his elder daughter carried a lot on her shoulders. If she needed somewhere to vent, then as her father, he had to take it.However, once she got everything off her chest, she still had to do as she was told.Some time passed before Camilla hung up on her father. Ralph then slowly turned his attention back to Zach

Chapter 265

Early the next morning, Jeremy had just finished his shower when he picked up his phone.There were already more than 99 missed calls and messages.Every single one was from Charlotte.The corner of Jeremy's mouth twitched.Charlotte really had way too much free time.He opened the latest message."It has been a whole hour since sunrise. What have you been doing? Why have you not come to see me yet?"Jeremy thought about it for a moment.Charlotte had already taken the antidote, and the entire Sloan family was watching over her.There was really no reason for him to go anymore.So, he left the message unanswered.Around the same time, Angela sent him a reply."I just woke up. I'll see you at the clinic in a bit."Jeremy replied to the message."If you're tired, rest a little longer. I am closing the clinic for today anyway. There's nothing urgent to handle."He sent the message and was just about to lock his screen when another text came in.It was from Jane, and the me

"Nothing…"Camilla pushed down the strange unease in her chest and bent down to pick up the spoon.…Inside the clinic, Wendy couldn't help asking, "Dr. Coops, are you not going to live at the clinic anymore? Am I causing you trouble?"Jeremy pulled his suitcase along with a smile."I was already planning to move out anyway. Besides, your brother's coming today. If he sees you living alone with a guy, he'd probably kill me with a look."Wendy quickly waved her hands."No, he wouldn't. Besides, he's only stopping by for a little while to see where I work. Then, I'll leave with him. It won't affect the clinic."Jeremy shook his head."It's fine. I need to look for a place this morning anyway. How about this? I'll come back around noon to open the clinic. If you need the day off, just take it.""Okay!"Wendy nodded enthusiastically, rising onto her toes to wave at him.She kept waving until Jeremy disappeared into the distance.A happy smile slowly spread across her face.Sh

Chapter 267

As the voices drew closer, Jeremy stood beside the operating table without saying a word.He pulled out his phone, instinctively reaching for it to call the police.Suddenly, a small, cool hand covered the back of his."Dr. Coops…"Jeremy froze.Wendy had woken up at some point without him noticing.He quickly lowered his phone, took her hand in his, and spoke quietly."You're exhausted. Don't talk. I'm getting you out of here."Wendy shook her head. Her eyes were dull and empty."Dr. Coops, I-I heard everything."Jeremy blinked, caught off guard.Before he could say anything, noises came from outside the operating room.Zachary's voice rang out."Alright, enough talking. We're running out of time. My sister said the owner will come back around noon!"Zachary shoved open the door and stepped inside, clearly impatient.However, when he saw what was happening, he froze.Wendy was slowly sitting up on the operating table.Zachary frowned and turned toward Simon, asking in

Chapter 268

As a doctor who had spent years working on the front lines, he knew that Wendy had already lost all hope. She had no will left to live.Even if the surgery went ahead with the best equipment available, someone who had already given up on living would have a slim chance of making it through.This clinic's operating room was nowhere near equipped for a difficult procedure like a kidney transplant."What are you waiting for? Hurry up and get started!"Zachary kept urging him on. Sweat was already starting to bead on his forehead from the nerves.Simon snapped back to reality.He looked at Wendy on the operating table, and a conflicted look crossed his weathered face.After a long silence, he finally said to her, "Don't worry. You'll be fine."The moment those words left his mouth, Jeremy's eyes narrowed.Simon was lying.The equipment wasn't enough. There wasn't even an assistant.How was this any different from some back-alley operation where people cut out organs and sold the

Chapter 269

Cold metal pressed against Zachary's waist. All Zachary could think about was the sharp knife pressing into his skin.He was so scared that he managed to overcome the anesthetic's effect. Seeing Jeremy silently holding the scalpel, Zachary felt more awake than ever."Jeremy, w-what are you?" His eyes widened in fear as he tried to back away, but his limbs were numb.He could just barely raise them; he didn't have the strength to move away. Now, he was just a sitting duck for Jeremy!Jeremy cut into his flesh. Blood oozed out of the cut.Zachary quickly realized this was what Simon meant when he said he might feel some pain. He screamed.His heart was racing. He was drenched in sweat."Stop… We can talk it out instead. I-I won't try to steal Camilla from you anymore. I'll leave, so let me go. Please?"Jeremy glanced at him and said, "Don't be scared. I'm just performing surgery on you."Zachary would never believe him. He said in a panic, "J-Jeremy, I…"Anxious, he tried despe

Chapter 270

After a while, Ralph said, "I know you were just scaring Zachary. Since you saved Charlotte's life, I'll let everything that happened today slide. Now leave."He didn't bother to wait for Jeremy's reply. He simply pointed at Wendy, who was lying on the other operating table, and asked the doctor, "Can you perform a kidney transplant?"The doctor quickly shook his head, "A kidney transplant is a major surgery. I'm not confident in my skills."Ralph nodded. "Alright, then we'll take him to Hope Hospital and carry out the surgery today."Hearing that, Jeremy finally looked up and said, "This lady can't undergo surgery today. She's mentally unstable, so there's a high risk of complications."Ralph glanced at him coldly. "I don't need your opinion. I already gave you a second chance. Leave before I lose my patience."Zachary pushed himself up and said in a hoarse voice, "Mr. Sloan… it'll be too late by the time we reach the hospital. We should do it while Wendy's still here."I'm sca
