Oh, she is a lazy one indeed. Stanley's train of thought stopped as he caressed the photo
on the identification card. He chuckled dryly in a gentle manner. For that split second, it
seemed like his demeanor returned to when he was with Natalie all those years ago. Yet,
at the same time, there was a sense of genuineness to his tenderness too.
“What a foolish woman!” Stanley muttered before shoving the identification card into his
pocket. Then, he dialed a number on his phone.
Soon, an obstetrics and gynecology doctor from the hospital they were in walked in with a
nurse.
“Dr. Quinn.” Like most people in the hospital, the doctor knew who Stanley was, for he was
a famous and talented neurologist.
Stanley stared at the doctor's extended hand before putting Joyce's identification card
down. He reached out and grabbed the doctor's hand. “Hello, Dr. Peter.”
“What's the matter, Dr. Quinn? Did you ask me here because of the woman who was with
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyou?” Peter pulled a chair and sat down beside the hospital bed before peering in the
direction of Joyce.
Not bothering to hide the truth, Stanley hummed in response. “I want to know the truth
about her condition.”
Joyce had undergone a prenatal checkup at the hospital before, and Peter did it.
Hearing Stanley's question, Peter hurriedly answered, “To be honest, Ms. Rivers is not the
healthiest. As she is weak, and she has a low glucose level, it is a miracle that her child
survived until now. If Lady Luck did not smile on her, she would have suffered a
miscarriage already.”
Stanley's heart tightened, and his face tensed upon hearing Peter's words. The situation
was worse than he expected.
Peter continued, “Besides, Ms. Rivers is constantly feeling down, which is not good for her
and the baby. If this continues, the baby will be gone even if she stays at the hospital for
treatment. I've suggested to her before that she should adjust her mindset to feel more
relaxed to feel happier. I told her not to overthink everything, but it seems like Ms. Rivers
didn't heed my advice.”
Stanley pursed his lips without speaking. He knew clearly why Joyce wasn't in a perfect
mood. The reason was him. Because of his appearance, terror and despair overwhelmed
the Rivers family and Joyce again.
So even though Stanley didn't do anything to Joyce or the Rivers family, Joyce couldn't
relax or make herself feel better.
The worry is constantly niggling her mind. She doesn't think I will let her and the Rivers
family off the hook. To her, nothing happens to her and her family now because I'm
hospitalized, and once I recover, I will take revenge on them. Hence, Joyce's mood doesn't
improve as fear is constantly behind her back, filling her with anxiousness.
“Dr. Quinn?” Peter waved his hand before Stanley curiously when he noticed the latter was

Stanley's eyes flickered before regaining his senses. He shook his head. “I'm fine.”
Peter laughed. “Dr. Quinn, I'm sure you care about Ms. Rivers to enquire about her health.
If that's the case, please advise her not to overthink, and that she needed to relax to keep
the baby.”
Stanley tightened his fists, replying in a hoarse voice. “I know. No worries. I will do
according to what you said. However, I'll need your help when she comes in for hospital
treatment. I'll work as a doctor in the Neurology Department for a while after I recover.”
Peter's eyes lit up as excitement filled him when he heard Stanley's remark. “That's great
news!”
Not only was he the chief doctor of the obstetrics and gynecology department, but Peter
was also the hospital's deputy director and future director. That was why he needed to
consider the hospital's benefits. Knowing that Stanley would stay behind to be their panel
doctor, albeit only briefly, was enough to make Peter happy.
After all, announcing to the public that Stanley, the internationally famous, youngest
neurologist, was working at their hospital would significantly improve their status. By then,
many big shots would choose their hospital as their first choice because of Stanley and
their hospital didn't have to worry about not having enough investments.
