All Chapters of Ninety-Nine Wishes, One Broken Marriage: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Camilla took the phone and began reading. The more she read, the tighter her brows furrowed. She hadn't expected Jeremy to tell Harriet about the divorce as well.How ridiculous. Did he think the divorce agreement would be legally binding when he was the only one who'd signed it?She was just about to send a reply when a call came in from Harriet."Camilla, I told you long ago that Jeremy was just pretending. This morning, he finally showed his true colors. He actually yelled at me and marched right out of the house, slamming the door behind him!"The moment the call connected, Harriet launched into a rapid stream of complaints, giving Camilla a pounding headache.She couldn't resist interrupting to say, "Mom, Jeremy was on duty late last night, and he even had to perform an emergency surgery. Did you wake him up when he hadn't gotten enough sleep yet? He still has to work this afternoon. It's normal for him to have a bit of a temper."Harriet fell silent, but it only made Camill

Jeremy wanted to ignore Camilla's message, but she seemed to have anticipated that. Another message came right after."If you still want that kidney for Daniel, you'd better not act like you didn't see my message."His lips twitched. The Sloans sure loved using threats, and Camilla had inherited the skill, mastering it to perfection."Noted," he replied.If nothing unexpected happened, he could proceed with the kidney transplant today. Once the surgery was completed, there would be no reason for him to return to Solara Gardens.And if Camilla tried to accuse him of not keeping his word, it'd be the most ironic joke ever. After all, hadn't she done the same thing to him countless times?He was simply returning the favor.…Over at Solara Gardens, Camilla was sitting on the couch. Her cheeks were flushed. Droplets of water clung to the ends of her hair.She had already changed into a thin, sleeveless nightdress that hugged her figure. Her fair, slender arms were trembling as she

Angela was never one to trust numbers and data printed on a piece of paper. Countless companies had approached her, seeking a business deal, and she didn't turn any of them down right off the bat.She'd ignored her family's objections and spent half her fortune establishing various charitable foundations to present herself to the relevant authorities, all in a bid to secure this project. She'd done it to prove that if the project was given to her, it would truly be implemented and used for the benefit of ordinary people.As for the remaining half of her fortune, she'd used it to establish connections and curry favors.In the end, she'd succeeded. At this moment, she held the key to the government-funded medical equipment project.Just the approval rights, subsidies for medical equipment sales, and procurement alone were enough for her to recover her investment. Besides that, there were plenty of other privileges that came with it.All the companies involved in related industries n

Jeremy looked around. They were near the nurses' station, and there was no one else around at the moment.Only then did he lower his head and ask, "How much money do you have right now?"The man froze for a moment before saying bleakly, "I already gave all my money to the hospital. I asked around to see if I could borrow some money just now, but I only managed to gather 20 thousand."Jeremy nodded. He took out two debit cards from his pocket and handed them to the nurse who had followed him the entire way.One was for the account where his salary was deposited. The other belonged to his mother and contained the compensation he received from selling his research findings."Swipe them first. Same arrangement as usual."The "usual arrangement" referred to processing a delayed transaction and breaking the hospital regulations by issuing the medication in advance. The nurse had done that many times before.Jeremy looked at the man."I'll apply for medical assistance funding on your

Over at the lab in Hope Hospital, Jeremy was eyeing the report with a puzzled expression. "It's only a 36% match?"But he merely glanced over it briefly without dwelling on it. Kidneys had a very short preservation period. Slight changes in the condition during transportation, along with differences in testing equipment, could easily cause this kind of discrepancy. It was not a glaring red flag.He was about to put away the report when he caught the signature at the bottom of the report, and it made him pause."Simon Atwood?"That was the doctor on duty in the emergency room today. He was the one who performed the emergency surgery for the patient with early-stage lung cancer.While any attending physician had the authority to check on the lab and conduct the tests, the surgery for the patient had ended at around the same time the kidney was tested for compatibility. How did Simon manage to do both?Before Jeremy could ponder any further, a lab technician handed him another repor
