At this moment, at Aurous Hill’s People Hospital in the in-patient department.As the best-integrated hospital in Aurous Hill and even in the entire district, it was full of people at any time.There were no empty beds no matter which department it was.Not only was it full of patients, but many other patients were still lining up at home, waiting for beds, and seeking treatment.In the intensive care unit for nephrology, an unconscious man lay on the bed with tubes poking out from his whole body. He looked to be around fifty years old.Beside the bed, there was a middle-aged woman. This woman’s features were very similar to Doris.Outside the intensive care unit, there was a small living room and resting area for family members. After all, this was the intensive care unit with the best criteria. Hence, the interior structure was similar to a hotel suite.At this moment, in the living room stood two young people—a man and a woman.The woman was the Vice-President of Emgrand Gro

“Doris, as long as you are willing to leave Emgrand Group and join my company as the Vice-Chairman and also be my lover, I will immediately ask someone to use my private jet to bring the kidney to you. If you say yes to me today, Uncle will have a new kidney tomorrow. What do you think?” “Shameless!” Grinding her teeth, Doris said angrily, “Edmund, how dare you take advantage of me! Moreover, you are already married with kids! How could you disappoint your wife and kids with those kinds of actions?!” Curling his lips, Edmund answered with a carefree attitude, “For me, marriage is just part of fulfilling my family’s mission. Whoever my family wishes me to marry, I will marry her. As long as I’ve married the woman they have chosen, they will not interfere with my private life.” Then, Edmund continued with an oblivious sneer, “As for the kids, I don’t really care about them. They are still young. Wait till they are older, I will make them realize that money is more

Looking at Edmund’s back as he left, Doris was so mad that she was shivering as her tears flowed down her face. Two years ago, Doris’s father had had a severe kidney infection. It had been hard to find a suitable kidney because his blood type was RH negative. At that time, Doris had done a match test, but she was not suitable. Soon after, due to a stroke of good luck, one of her relatives had found a suitable match in Southeast Asia, and the other party had also been willing to donate. Subsequently, Doris had spent a million Oskian dollars to help her dad solve his kidney problem. Initially, she had thought that after finding the kidney, her dad would live for another twenty or thirty years with proper care. However, she never would have thought that just after two years, her dad’s replacement kidney would have a serious rejection response, and the kidney functions started to drop tremendously.Before the Oskian New Year, he had been fine. However, afte

Just then, someone pushed the room door open gently.A middle-aged woman came out and asked, “Doris, has Edmund left?”This woman was Doris’s mother, Faith Saunders.Doris quickly wiped away her tears and turned toward the woman as she nodded. “Yes, Mum. He has left.”Then, she hurriedly asked, “Mum, how’s Dad?”Faith sighed. “Still the same—unconscious.”Noticing that Doris had just cried not too long ago, she swiftly stepped forward and asked in concern, “Doris, why are you crying? What did Edmund say to you? Didn’t he give you his word that the kidney has been found? What did he say after that?”Doris sighed and whispered, “Yes, the kidney has been found, but he wanted me to work for him and be his lover…”“What?!” With her eyes wide open, Faith blurted out, “This… isn’t this person your former classmate? How could he be so shameless?!”Doris answered in extreme frustration, “I also didn’t know that he would become like this after a few years of graduation.”Faith hurried

Doris reached into her pocket, retrieved a pack of ladies’ cigarettes, took one out, and put it in her mouth. Then, she reached for the lighter again, but she had a hard time lighting the cigarette as her hands were trembling. After several attempts, she managed to light the lighter, and the cigarette was finally lit.Her face was extremely pale under the reflection of the fire.When the cigarette was ignited, Doris gently bit the cigarette with her pinkish lips and took in a deep breath. Right then, it was so quiet that she could hear the unique sound of the burnt tobacco.Doris rarely smoked, and she did not like to smoke either, but due to her diligence at work, she was often overly tired as well as upset. Therefore, she would occasionally smoke a cigarette to bring her some relief.As the smoke puffed out from her delicate nose, feeling the stimulation produced by the nicotine in her brain, Doris couldn’t help shedding two lines of hot tears down her cheeks.Her mother’s words

Doris was incomparably frustrated as this was the cruelest and most crucial choice she had ever faced in her twenty-something years of life.***Meanwhile, Edmund sat in his Rolls Royce and simply drove away from Silverwing Hospital.Edmund’s full name was Edmund Whittaker. He was an American whose family was a famous real estate developer in the United States.He had been Doris’ collegemate in earlier years and had always taken a fancy to her, but because he had still been under the watchful eye of his family at that time, he hadn’t dared to take the plunge and pursue a woman of Oskian descent.Nevertheless, Edmund had changed radically from his student days. He now had enough resources in the family as well as the control power, and now that he had taken his business to Oskia and started to enter the real estate sector here, he instantly set himself free from all the nuisances.The first thing he wanted to do was to court Doris.This was not only because he had always taken a
