“It’s only eleven o’clock. It’s too early for lunch,” said Enid. Marvin looked toward his wife. After getting glared at, he dared not ask Kent to stay for lunch anymore.“Indeed, it’s still early. I usually have lunch after twelve. I’ll get going, then. The clinic can’t be closed all the time.”“Okay. Go back and manage your clinic well. Don’t forget why you started learning medicine.”Marvin was reminding Kent not to earn illegal money. Doctors were meant to help the injured and rescue lives, not make profits from illicit activities. Kent smiled. “I won’t, sir.”He walked to the corner of the counter and grabbed the bouquet of roses he had bought, then bid Marvin and Enid goodbye before leaving. After Kent drove away, Marvin continued seeing his patients. Once he was done, he got up to help Enid dispense medications.“You weren’t very friendly to Kent today.”Marvin added, “He finally found the courage to confess to Sheila and woo her. Isn’t that great?“I quite like this

Sheila’s grandparents had retired, but they were skilled doctors and had previously been professors at a medical university. Therefore, they were hired by a hospital again and were able to continue contributing to the medical industry. On the other hand, her parents did not work at a hospital in Wiltspoon, but at a larger hospital located elsewhere in Georgia. That was why they were rarely home. Sheila had an elder brother, who worked at a hospital outside of the province. Similarly, he rarely returned home.With her parents and brother absent, Marvin and Enid were her closest family members. Her third uncle and his wife were also busy. They did not even have time to care about their son’s studies. Fortunately, the children of the Jones family were clever. They all performed well academically. Terence also wanted to study medicine. He chose to study the sciences in high school in preparation for medical school. Moments later, Marvin and Enid came upstairs for dinner. Sheil

Alex’s hand was itching to give Sheila’s round face a little pinch. “You’re supposed to have your dressing changed today, Mr. York. Has it been done?” Sheila asked. Alex replied, “Yes. This morning. I didn’t know you were on the night shift and was wondering why you weren’t doing the ward rounds yet.”Sheila smiled. “I am indeed on the night shift. Your wounds have mostly recovered. You can be discharged if you want to.”“I can’t leave if I haven’t fully recovered. If I return home, my elders will know that I was injured in a car accident. My grandmother is old. I don’t want her to be worried about me.”Alex explained why he remained hospitalized. “I also kept it a secret from my parents. Only my brothers are in the know. Everyone’s helping me to hide the accident from our parents.”Alex looked toward his hands, which were still wrapped in gauze. “Although my injuries are mostly healed, it still hurts when I type or write. Even if I were to be discharged, I wouldn’t be able t

Alex had to nip those two admirers’ love for Sheila in the bud before they started pursuing her. “What happened?”The bodyguard said, “In the morning, a man brought a bouquet of roses to the Joneses’ clinic. That man is Dr. Jones’s senior, named Kent. I spent the entire morning researching his background, hence only calling you now.”The bodyguard told Alex everything, including what Kent did at the clinic, how long he stayed there, and his background.“Dr. Jones didn’t accept his bouquet. She most likely rejected his confession.”Alex breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Sheila had rejected that man. After listening to the bodyguard’s description, Alex felt Kent was not good enough for his Sheila.Kent felt like a greedy man from the countryside, trying to hit a jackpot in the city.Since Sheila had rejected Kent’s confession even after he had constantly interacted with her family for two years, it meant she had never considered him as a potential partner.She had a go

They were shocked to hear Alex was involved in a car accident.Luckily, Grandma May said he was not severely injured and only sustained light wounds on his hands.Although Sasha often scolded her sons, she would get very anxious whenever something happened to them.Kevin had said that Alex’s wounds were not serious either. However, why would he be hospitalized for so long if that were the case?Therefore, Sasha, Simon, and Grandma May rushed to visit Alex at the hospital early in the morning.Liam and Tania also found out about it and were on their way.Grandma May finally released Alex’s ears after venting her anger.Alex resentfully looked toward Kevin, Zachary, and Stanley, who were standing far away. Why did they not call him beforehand to warn him?He had been shocked to see Grandma May as soon as he woke up. “Nana, Mom, Dad, I didn’t want you all to worry. Besides, I’m mostly fine. My hands were cut when the windscreen shattered. There was some bleeding, but my bones we
