Harry rolled his eyes before grabbing Holly's wrist and feeling for her pulse. Then he immediately let go of her hand."Ah, it seems as if you have a problem with your uterus. Are you unable to conceive?" Harry asked Holly in surprise.Holly was stunned. She blushed at once and lowered her head, feeling extremely shocked.Aside from a few people in her village, nobody else knew this about her, not even Leslie. She'd had a health issue in the past, and because of that, she'd never been able to conceive.In her village, it was considered taboo for a woman to be unable to have children. However, her husband had never left her despite being looked down upon by the villagers, and he'd moved with her to the city to start afresh.It was precisely because her husband was such a loving man that she would put her life on the line to save him from death.All Harry did was just feel for her pulse, and he'd already managed to find out what was wrong with her body. Holly was simply flabbergasted."M
Dr. Woods gloated as he said fiercely, "Our president is good friends with the health minister of Cloud City. What are you going to do about it? Bastard, you'd better pay me a compensation fee of 500,000 dollars immediately, or I'll call up our president and you're going to be toast!""That's right, young man, we know that you're rich, but you wouldn't want to fuck around with anyone from the government. You'll definitely always be on the losing end. Do what you have to do and pay up the 500,000 dollars at once. Then fuck off!"Holly's face was ashen with fright. She was intimidated by the mere mention of the hospital president and the health minister. To her, they were the most authoritative people on the planet that she knew.Holly suddenly fell to her knees before Leslie and Dr. Woods, crying and begging for mercy. "Dr. Woods, I'm sorry. I was the one who brought him here, so please don't blame him for it. Leslie, seeing as we've been friends for a while and came from the same villa
She knew that they had to have someone supporting them to open up such a huge hospital. Her boss was rich, but that didn't mean she wanted him to offend the government on her behalf."Don't worry, miss. Your boss knows how to handle bastards like them. He can easily crush them like ants," Harry said.Dr. Woods turned white with anger as he yelled, "Put me down this instant! I—I'm going to call my president! Do you want to bet?"Whoosh!Isaac flung his arm and threw Dr. Woods a couple of feet away. He then said coldly, "Go ahead and call your beloved president. I want to see just how close your president is with the government."Dr. Woods picked himself up from the floor and shakily dialed his president's number.Very quickly, many small cars arrived outside the hospital building. Groups of young men dressed like bodyguards got down from the cars and immediately surrounded the entire building.The hospital consisted of a single building, so it took just a little while for all 200 men to
When Dr. Woods saw the newcomer, he nearly cried out in relief. He hurried over to the middle-aged man and cried, "Mr. Meyers, you're finally here! The hospital would be in big trouble if you'd been even a minute late!""Who dares to create trouble in my hospital? Do you know about my relationship with Mr. Cohen, the health minister? How dare you just bring your people over to check my books?" Danny Meyers yelled again, frowning as he looked at Isaac in rage.Louis shook in anger. This man was just the president of a small, private hospital. Who gave him the guts to act so haughtily with everyone else?Louis was just about to say something when Isaac asked him in a low voice, "Louis, is the Mr. Cohen he speaks of one of your men?""Yes, yes, he is. Do you have something on your mind?" Louis asked, bending forward to speak with Isaac, droplets of sweat sliding down all the way to his nose.He just heard yesterday that his old boss, Connor, had gone to Pecling, and according to insider i
"There are plenty more transactions like this. We're actually in the midst of identifying and investigating each one."Holly's face turned thunderously black as she listened to the woman. She pointed her finger at Leslie and said, "Leslie Miller? The money was deposited into your account? Why is my husband's surgery fee in your personal bank account? Why wasn't it deposited into the hospital account instead?"Louis' face also turned dark."Mr. Meyers, what should we do? What should we do?" Leslie realized that her misdeeds had been exposed and hurriedly tugged at Danny's blazer, whispering anxiously."Don't fret. Mr. Cohen is already on his way. He'll take care of everything," Mr. Meyers answered, despite feeling the fear creeping up on him. However, once he remembered that the health minister was on his side, he puffed up once again.In no time at all, a middle-aged man with slicked-back hair and dressed in a black jacket arrived at the hospital. He took his time as he walked down the
Louis was seething with anger. He didn't come all the way here just to let Isaac see that his so-called department heads were abusing patients' trust and money without him knowing. This was just horrible!When he spoke his last sentence, Louis had already made up his mind. He didn't care how many people he offended this time; he was getting rid of all the rats in his ministry and his system.Louis came from a small agricultural village, after all. He knew all the hardships villagers had to endure when treating their family members at a hospital in the city, including terminal illnesses like cirrhosis or cancer.He didn't care how many people were going to hate him. He still had Isaac's full support."Louis, I think you should look outside of Cloud City as well. Connor is still around, isn't he? You might need to discuss some things with him. I'm pretty sure corruption like this is rampant in other places too, like Southland or even the entire country. If you manage to abolish corruptio
"Maybe it's because you've been quite busy lately, so you're just tired. Ms. Booth, it's my mother's birthday today, and she'd like to invite both you and Isaac over for dinner. Would that be okay with you?" Emily asked.Seeing that Allegra was looking at her funny, she hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Oh, I haven't informed Mr. Garten yet. I thought I'd let you know first.""You can call him yourself. It's your mother's birthday. I would be happy to have dinner with her," Allegra said, rubbing her temples again.Emily felt something amiss. Had Allegra quarreled with Isaac?She hesitated for a while before leaving.Inside her office, Emily took out her phone and dialed Isaac's number. Surprisingly, as soon as he heard that Allegra had agreed to attend, he immediately said he'd be there too.Worried that her mother wouldn't be able to handle the workload, Emily left the office a little earlier to go home and help her mother with the cooking.Around 6 pm that evening, Allegra drove up
Isaac had just lifted his fork to stab into a meatball, but he froze halfway to stare at Allegra in disbelief.Mrs. Danson and Emily were both shocked.When Isaac had first returned to Cloud City, Emily had wanted to keep a low profile and avoid being seen by him. Yet after witnessing many miraculous things happen, she'd later come to regret rejecting Isaac when they were still in school.However, she knew that Isaac loved his wife and daughter dearly and that they made a very happy family together. That's why Emily never dared to let any of her true feelings for Isaac show.Most importantly, there was absolutely nothing going on between Isaac and herself."M—Ms. Booth, it's not what you think it is. There's nothing between Mr. Garten and me. We're both innocent," Emily tried explaining worriedly.Mrs. Danson also said in a hurry, "Ms. Booth. I think you might have misunderstood. Mr. Garten has helped us a lot, so I'm naturally very grateful to him. Don't be angry—""Ally, Emily and I
