Once it was time to get off work, Sheila stood up and changed out of her scrubs before picking up her bag and saying to Mary, “Ms. Hicks, let’s go for our meal.”Mary replied with a smile, “Sure.”The two used to be love rivals. Well, to be fair, it was Mary who saw Sheila as a love rival one-sidedly.Sheila had never loved Dr. Levitt, so she had never thought of Mary as a love rival.In fact, she had constantly urged him to accept the one who actually truly loved him, Mary, primarily because he actually did feel something for her. If he really felt nothing for Mary, Sheila would not have pushed him toward her, afraid they would end up a couple who resented each other.Once the two exited the hospital, Mary said, “Let’s go to a local cuisine restaurant near both our clinics. The food there is not bad and it’s all prepared fresh to order.”Sheila said, “It’s your treat, so it’s your call. As the one who’s taking advantage, I can’t say much.”“Don’t say that, Dr. Jones. What do yo

“He just felt so sorry toward you and Dr. Marvin.”Mary said, “Your uncle treated him like his own student and he said he learned a lot from your uncle, but now, because of his mother, he’s too ashamed to meet you and your family again.“He put himself under a lot of pressure and was even a little distracted while seeing his patients. He only got a little better after I talked to him a few times.”After all, Kent was a doctor. If he continued to stay in this distracted state, he would easily make mistakes in his work, where the slightest slip-up could lead to serious consequences.She had been working with Kent for a few years now and had learnt quite a bit, so when she was administering injections and dispensing medication, she would pay close attention to Kent’s prescriptions. If she noticed an issue, she would immediately correct it to avoid giving a patient the wrong medication.Sheila said, “Kent brought his mother over to apologize, which I’ve already accepted, and I’ve also

Mary replied with a smile, “That’s true, no one can say for sure what will happen tomorrow either. Well, if you’re free, please do come by and join in the celebration.“It’ll be even better if you can come with Mr. York.”If Sheila came to the wedding with Alex, it would ensure that Dr. Levitt would utterly give up on Sheila and spend the rest of his days with her peacefully.Sheila knew what Mary was thinking. She said, “He won’t come if he’s not invited. If I’m not free, I’ll ask my uncle to go in my stead.”Uncle Marvin could afford the time off.Kent had been Marvin’s student for two years, so even though Talia’s actions had angered Marvin, he would not hold a grudge since Sheila had already gotten over it. If she gave him the invitation, he would probably go.Mary said, “We don’t know Mr. York so well, so we daren’t give him an invitation.”Besides, even if they did give him one, Alex would not grant them the honor.Unless Sheila came and he came with her as her boyfriend.

“Since it’s Saturday, they’ll probably come as a family of three,” Callum replied.Under normal circumstances, the child would have preschool, and Tim would be at work. That was why Dr. Carden would come alone.Alex nodded. “Alright. I’ll tell Sheila in a bit. She’ll definitely be thrilled.”He had promised Sheila that he would introduce her to Dr. Carden. Now, he could finally keep that promise.“Callum, you go ahead and work. I’ll head back and get to mine.”Alex had decided to go with Callum’s suggestion. When Saturday came, he would bring Sheila back to the manor and confess to her in the flower fields. With endless blooms stretching as far as the eye could see, there would be no need to cut any flowers, and it would still be romantic enough.“Scram.”As Alex stood up, he said, “I don’t know how to scram. Why don’t you show me how, Callum?”“Scram!” Callum cursed with a laugh.“I’m going to tell Camryn that you told me to scram.”Callum immediately reached for something t

“Thank you, Uncle Alex! You’re my favorite!”Micah thanked him happily.Trenton immediately sounded a little jealous. “Merry, didn’t you say I’m your favorite uncle? How is it your Uncle Alex now?”“I love all of you, but I love Mom and Dad the most, and Grandpa, Gramma, and all my uncles too.”Trenton laughed. “Wow, you really spread the love around equally, don’t you?”He picked Micah up into his arms, then said to Alex, “I just got back from a business trip. I’m exhausted and don’t feel like driving, so you drive. I’ll keep Merry company.”Alex replied, “I wasn’t counting on you to drive anyway.”A few minutes later, Alex drove off from the preschool with the uncle and nephew in the car.“How did things go?” Alex asked.Trenton leaned back against the seat and replied, “It was resolved smoothly. Still, it was exhausting. Running a business is really hard. I’m nowhere near as capable as Camryn.”“Take it slow. You’re doing well—better than a lot of second-gen heirs. Most of
