“And not let his parents constantly come to the city to look for him and bother him. His siblings get it, too. He’s the biggest earner in their family, so if they allow their parents to come bother him every day, it’ll affect his earnings, and it’ll be their loss, too.”After another pause, Mary continued, “My parents are about the same, so I get it. I can handle anything that comes up.“Thank you for your concern, though.”They were all adults, after all. She would not regret her choice of man and path.Sheila replied, “As long as you’ve thought it through.”It was not like they were very close. They were only acquaintances. Sheila only brought it up out of concern for a fellow woman.If the other party was willing to listen, then great. Otherwise, Sheila would not say anything further.After a while, the dishes arrived. The two chatted as they ate.Most of the time, Mary talked about her future with Dr. Levitt.Sheila would reply from time to time, mostly to wish them well.

“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

“They cook everything fresh to order, so we’ll have to wait a little.”Sheila said, “I understand.”Soon, the other tables at the restaurant filled up.It was evident that the food there was decent.Otherwise, it would not have such good business.Mary said to Sheila, “Luckily, we came a little earlier. Otherwise, we’d have to wait a long time before we could finally eat.“How are things with Mr. York now, Dr. Jones?” Mary asked.Sheila answered, “Alex and I are good friends. Usually, we’re busy working, but after work, if we’re free, we’ll meet up to watch a movie or go for a walk. He has lots of questions to ask me about his apartment renovation.“Sometimes, I go with him to buy materials. That’s pretty much all we normally do.”The two ladies were not good friends, so Sheila would not go into too much detail. Right now, she and Alex actually already had feelings for one another. Even if Alex did not confess, she knew Alex loved her.If he did not, he would not treat her so
Chapter 5121
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
Chapter 5120
Ian was still active in the medical field, serving the public. He understood how demanding the profession was, so he urged the family to focus on their work and save lives if they could not make time for his birthday. To Ian, that was more meaningful than coming home to celebrate his birthday. Though Ian preferred not to make a big deal out of it, the Joneses were a huge family. Anyone who had time to come celebrate his birthday could easily fill more than a dozen tables.Ian and his wife, Teresa, met Alex when they came to the Joneses’ clinic. The couple approved of him. Since the word was about the potential romance between Alex and Sheila, thanks to Marvin and Enid, the Joneses used the birthday as an excuse to evaluate the guy. Ivor had already met Alex. Howell and Gladys had seen a picture of Alex, but they had not met him in person. Once Howell and Glady saw Alex in person, they had a lot of good things to say about him. It was clear that Alex won them over. Jealous, I

“Relax. You’re my niece. I will never trade you away for the world. “The Yorks are a lovely family. That’s the only reason why I support you getting close to Alex. If they were only putting on a show, I’d stop you from jumping into danger.” Enid had always been against the idea of Sheila getting involved with the Levitts.“I have a good feeling about Alex and his family, Sheila. I felt right at home at his place, even though it was my first time stepping into such a luxurious residence.” Terence added, “They are honestly good people. Their kindness isn’t just on the surface.” Sheila replied with a smile, “Why do I get the feeling that you are ready to ship me off to the Yorks?“Fine, I’ll let things happen naturally with Alex. I owe it to myself to see where this leads.” It was pretty obvious to Sheila. Alex kept running into her, tending to her with great care, giving her gifts, and making plans for her to meet the family. The Yorks had been very welcoming to her. Even a

I like the book thus far;however I hate jumps through hoops to read the book. I still have along way to go to finish the book let’s hope I don’t lose interest before the end.
He just as well accept it .
I knew it was going to happen, but how is he going to let her know how rich he is and how will she take that being he been acting the way he have with her . When will everyone else that don’t know he is married going to find out especially the Stone girl who refuse to give up on Zachary.
l am sick of paying for a few chapters, this book could cost $$$$ that l don't have at the moment...l am better off to buy a similar book for $33.00... l have already spent $32 and l am only on chapter 118... It dose blurb about nothing at times!
Was there no editor who checked for spelling, grammar or continuity? Some sentences made no sense in several chapters
Where was this story written? Using terms I am not familiar with and the currency mentioned in the story although in dollars, does not equate to what things cost in the US.
What does it cost to read this book?? It seems I keep having to pay. I need the total cost
On her bike? She rode her bike to d bookstore
