Chapter 86 Passing the Torch
The news of the Lawrences’ bankruptcy and the acquisition of Lawrence Solutions by another company
quickly spread throughout Parrington, shocking many people. Were the Lawrences, who had a close
relationship with Alec, going down just like that?
While everyone was shocked, they were more curious about the reason behind it. Some claimed that the
Lawrences had offended someone, and others claimed that it was Alec who they had offended. In any
case, there were all sorts of rumors.
As soon as it was disclosed that the Mayflower Group, which Gilbert owned, had acquired Lawrence
Solutions, more rumors began to brew.
As all of this unfolded, Jenny calmly watched the news report. To begin with, the Lawrences had many
weak spots. Given the information she had passed to Gilbert, it would be a miracle if they didn’t go
bankrupt. However, she didn’t expect her brother to act so swiftly. She thought it would take some time,
at least.

operating room is ready.”
“Okay, I’ll head there right away.” With a nod, Jenny rose to her feet and walked out of the office.
Trailing behind her, Morgan chatted happily, “Since you joined our hospital, the number of neurosurgery
operations has increased dramatically. I heard from the director that many patients from other states are
coming here because of you.”
Morgan admired Jenny from the bottom of her heart and even dreamt of becoming like her.
“The most important thing for doctors is to save lives.” Jenny didn’t care much for fame, so she couldn’t
understand why Morgan was so excited.
“You’re right. Saving people is the most important thing.” Morgan nodded in agreement.
Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the operating room. After Jenny changed into her surgical
garments, she saw Morgan still standing there. Wondering why she hadn’t left yet, she asked, “Is there
anything else?
“Well, it’s nothing much. I just want to…” She hesitated as if she was afraid to speak.
“What is it?” Jenny turned to look at her.
Gritting her teeth, Morgan mustered her courage to ask, “Can I go in to observe the surgery? I promise I
won’t disturb you.”
Jenny was a little surprised as she thought Morgan was about to say something important. With a small
smile, she said, “Why not? Isn’t that what all interns do?”
Before she graduated, she had shadowed her supervisor to observe surgeries. It was what all medical
students did. In fact, she thought Morgan had been observing other surgeries the whole time as she
never followed her into the operating room.
“The director forbids interns from following you into the operating room as he’s afraid it might upset you,”
Morgan said in a small voice.
Jenny was the deputy director of the neurosurgery department at Parrington Hospital, but she was not in
charge of the interns, so she had the right to refuse interns or trainee doctors from following her.

mind you observing me.”
No one was born with a complete set of knowledge. Jenny was once in Morgan’s shoes, so she
understood how difficult it was to become an excellent doctor. That was the reason she was willing to
pass on her knowledge.
“Thank you, Dr. Walter!” Morgan was touched. Doctors like Jenny, who was as skilled as they were
unassuming, were hard to come by.
“Change your clothes,” Jenny instructed her..
Morgan nodded, rather excited that she was finally able to observe Jenny’s operation firsthand.
As Jenny was in the operating room, Alec couldn’t find her when he arrived at the hospital. Instead of
feeling disappointed, he was relieved. After all, he didn’t know how to face her. It wasn’t that he had no
dignity. In fact, he had decided not to look for her again.
However, he was sure his grandfather would throw him out of the party if he didn’t bring Jenny with him.
If he didn’t show up at the party, rumors about his relationship with his grandfather would begin to brew.
