Curtis had never had so much time like this, not having anything to do. Hence, he was always lost in his thoughts. Lying in bed, he'd already thought about the incident from 13 years ago. The faces of the people who had fallen to the ground in a pool of their own blood were still fresh in his mind.Now, facing Stephen's curiosity, he somehow wanted to confide in him. "I can explain it to you, but I don't want Yvonne to know.""Okay," Stephen promised, grabbing a chair by the side to sit down. This was the most basic respect he could give to Curtis.Instead of looking at him, Curtis merely stared out of the window."The truth is, Yvonne rescued me once, 13 years ago. She's forgotten about it, though."Then, Curtis recounted the incident. He'd rescued a bunch of international students, but he'd been ambushed halfway through.He spoke in a tender tone. Rather than talking to Stephen, it seemed like he was thinking of his old friends in his memory. It seemed as though they were all
That day, Yvonne went to see Curtis as usual. Just as she was about to leave, she was stopped by an old man with a benevolent smile."Ms. Miller, do you still recognize me?"Yvonne smiled and extended her hand to the old man."Dr. Faber. It's been a long time."Dr. Faber smiled even wider and shook Yvonne's hand. "Yes. It's been a long time. How is Old Jim?""Grandpa is great. He mentions you often."Dr. Faber wouldn't believe it. "If he really misses me, he should return to see me."Yvonne chuckled. "It's mostly my fault. I need him abroad to manage my organization. It's keeping him too busy. He can't find the time to come here and see you.""You don't have to stand up for him." Dr. Faber looked at Yvonne with approval. He said with a smile, "Ms. Miller, I have a favor to ask of you. I wonder if you'll agree to it?"Yvonne asked, "What could I possibly help you with?""All the doctors saw how you performed surgery on the patient the last time. Ever since then, they have be
Downtown Hospital hadn't had a talk in half a year. All of a sudden, not only had they invited an outsider, but they had also collaborated with Hopeful Faith to broadcast the talk live online.Other doctors from the other hospitals were all wondering which legendary figure Downtown Hospital could have invited for such grandiosity since they usually kept a rather low profile.The most surprising thing was that even the highly respected Dr. Faber had posted about this event on his private social media account. On top of that, it was his first-ever post!Thus, as the date of the event grew closer, the buzz around it got bigger and bigger. Almost every single member of the medical staff in the entire Northerna City knew about it.Naturally, Curtis had heard the nurses discussing it at the hospital. He didn't need to guess to know that the speaker was Yvonne.He started to worry because of how huge this event was. That night, he asked Lloyd, "Do you know what Yvonne is up to?""How wo
For the next three hours, Yvonne calmly answered the questions from the medical community in the audience.However, the other audience members were no longer focused on her talk. They were all in a state of shock. It seemed that they had just registered the revelation after the talk ended. All they could think of was how amazing Yvonne was.The professionals who were paying attention to the talk praised her online. Someone wrote a serious post analyzing how great Yvonne was."Yvonne is undoubtedly the best in neurology. Every single point she mentioned is accurate. She could even cite multiple cases to prove her point."It was a post of a few thousand words. The people online read the final sentence, which said, "There's a reason why she could cause such a huge commotion at the Downtown Hospital. She's really amazing."The buzz offline was equally lively too. Yvonne had just gotten off stage when a crowd of doctors surrounded her, fighting to invite her to their office for tea
As they left the hospital and got into the car, Ariel carefully called out, "Grandpa."Philip snapped out of his daze and looked at Ariel rather in bewilderment. "What is it?""Are you thinking about Yvonne?"Philip could see the worry in Ariel's eyes. He smiled pleasantly and said, "I was only surprised. I don't mean anything else. You don't have to worry.""But … she owns Hope Health Services. Then Grandma's sickness …""They are two different matters." Philip looked at Ariel benevolently. "This won't affect your marriage to Stephen."All this time, Ariel had been coming to Anderson Mansion quite often. Philip asked around and found that Ariel and Stephen had a terrible fight over the incident at the hotel.Philip had watched Ariel grow, so he knew her character well. She wasn't the type of person who would hurt someone.He suspected Stephen was using it as an excuse to call off the marriage so he could be with Yvonne.However, he also had to give it to Yvonne. She was indee
Three days later, the team for the national jewelry TV program came looking for Yvonne. Yvonne asked Nicole to deal with them and send her the details later.When Caleb entered Miller Jewels, he bumped into Nicole, who was sending the TV program team off.Caleb asked, "Who are they?""People from the Nation's Jewelry. They want Ms. Miller to go on their program.""Yvonne agreed to this?" Caleb asked.Nicole nodded. "Yes, since this program is related to jewelry, she said it could help Miller Jewels gain some traction."Caleb furrowed his brows. He said nothing more and went to look for Yvonne right away. He opened the door to her office and asked her directly, "Do you have some kind of plan or something?"Yvonne was working. She replied without looking up. "What plan?"Caleb walked closer to gain her attention. "First, you admitted that you're the boss at Hope. Now you're going on TV. Yvonne, this isn't something that you would normally do."Yvonne smiled and looked at Caleb
Philip turned around to signal his men to unload all the gifts from the car. They placed the gifts in a pile on the ground."I'm here to repay you on behalf of Linda and my wife, both of whom you saved back then." Philip looked at Yvonne. "Please accept these gifts. If it's not enough, you can ask for more."Yvonne took a look at the gifts. They were all branded jewelry. They clearly weren't cheap. How generous of Philip!However, Philip's tone was rather strange. He said he was here to repay her, so why did it sound like he was here to settle the score instead?Besides, why had Philip personally come to thank her on Linda's behalf?Before Yvonne could get her head around it, she heard him speak again."Once you accept these gifts, I hope that you will maintain your distance from Stephen in the future. No matter what, he's engaged to someone else."Now she finally understood. Philip was playing the role of the rich grandfather, using his money to force someone to stay away fro
"Mommy." Elvin's voice came from behind her.Yvonne came to her senses and turned around to look at him. "Honey, what is it?""When is Uncle Curtis coming back?""Hmm …" Yvonne pondered for a while. From his injuries, she deduced that he might not be back for the next two weeks.Yvonne could see that Elvin missed him a lot. She bent down and hugged her son."You're missing him, right? I'll ask Lloyd to take you to the hospital to see Uncle Curtis one day, okay?"Elvin asked curiously, "Why don't you take me?""Because I have many things to do." Yvonne patted Elvin's head. Without her realizing it, her thoughts strayed to Britney. That little girl did indeed look quite like Linda.Yvonne felt a sense of displeasure, but she quickly stopped herself from thinking any further. Even if Linda was Britney's mother, it had nothing to do with her.…After finalizing their collaboration with Miller Jewels, Nation's Jewelry worked quickly. Within the next two days, they announced th
