Chapter 88 Jonathan Woods To Reveal His Identity
The conversation between the two older men went like this.
Dariel Randall, 79, said, “I know that woman back there. She’s the daughter of darling Anna’s wicked
uncle, Kent Barton.”
Cash Cappell, 77, replied, “We know that man too. Isn’t he Julian Parks’s half-brother, Alexander
Parks? Does he really think we’re isted from the rest of the world? Even after living in the mountains
for many years, we are still very much in touch. I’ve been watching the news every day.”
“That’s right. Anna and that piece of trash from the Quigley family didn’t even make the news when
they were dating back then. We thought that our darling Anna was such an outstanding young woman
that whoever fell for her would definitely dote on her. Regrettably, we didn’t pay much attention to the
affair. It turned out he’s a scumbag. A no good son-of-a-gun! Fortunately, they broke up in the end,”
said Dariel.
“Why did Alexandere to the countryside to ask about Anna? Instead, did hee here for Joseph
Quigley, that old geezer?” Cash wondered out loud.
Dariel’s face darkened. “I have to call darling Anna and ask if she has been exposed unwittingly.”
“Don’t you know how smart Anna is? If she was exposed, would she havee to our godforsaken
countryside? Don’t give yourself away by calling. We, old fogeys, should not cause trouble for her one
way or another. Just stay put and keep your cool, for crying out loud. Anna will definitely call us when
it’s convenient for her,” Cash grumbled.
“All right,” Dariel stared at the phone and put it back into the cradle. Needless to say, he missed Anna
terribly. Both carried their buckets and fishing rods back into the house.
At this moment, Joseph Quigley walked over joyfully. “Hey, not bad. You two old farts caught a fish,
after all.” “We’re done fishing for the day. Go and arrange for the kitchen to cook the fish for us,” Dariel
said.
Josephughed aloud. Then he carried the bucket and mumbled away as he looked for a servant to
prepare the dish.
Dariel suddenly thought of something and said to Joseph knowingly, “It has been chaotic here ofte.
Those people will probably turn the entire Chanaea over looking for you. Make sure to stay put in the
house and don’t roam around town unnecessarily.”
“You guys should stay put too.” Josephughed and tasked someone to cook the fish.
“So be it. I’ll practice two more fist-fighting rounds every day,” Dariel muttered.
Cash broke into a heartyughter. “My time is even easier to pass. I’ll throw some y to make a pot
every day. Hahaha, I’ll make money and pass the time.”
Meanwhile, at Jadeborough.
Jonathan Woods was jetgged.
He could not sleep before midnight and finally fell asleep in the second half of the night.
Just as he was sound asleep, his cell phone rang like crazy.
It was Ben Chase, director of the Metropolis Hospital.
Ben greeted Jonathan politely and asked if he was used to his everyday life after returning to the
country. Before thetter could reply, Ben apologized for calling due to an urgent matter.
It turned out that he had a critical case on hand. The hospital’s expert team examined the patient but
could not resolve the issue. Therefore, he decided to enlist Jonathan’s help.
Jonathan was angry to have been woken up from his hard-earned sleep. He shouted into the phone,
“What if I didn’te back? Does that mean no one will care about those cases? Do all the patients
have to die then?”
“Jonathan, that’s not what I meant. If you hadn’te back, we couldn’t help it if we are unable to treat
the patients. We wouldn’t dare to trouble the elder Quigley either! It was a coincidence that you’ve
returned. I think she’s not meant to die,” Ben replied politely.
He was 49 years old, two years younger than Jonathan.
The two men had met a few times before whenever Jonathan returned to visit the elder Quigley.
The elder Quigley had wanted Jonathan to take over the Metropolis Hospital and suggested that the
latter meet with Ben.
After chatting for a while, Jonathan’s foul mood dissipated. “Ben, I didn’t mean to shout at you. I’m jet-
lagged and just fell asleep,” he apologized,
“I understand totally. I was too anxious and didn’t notice the time,” Ben said.
Jonathan looked at the time on his wrist. It was already eleven in the morning.
He could not me Ben for calling him.
“I’lle over and take a lookter,” Jonathan said.
“All right. Good.” Ben was relieved to hear that Jonathan would go over.
Thetter was just in time for lunch after washing up.
Annalise smiled and asked, “Are you done sleeping, bro? Or are you filling your stomach first before
going back to bed?”
“Sigh, No more sleep for me. I have something to do at the hospitalter. Are you busy?” Jonathan
asked. “I’m not busy!”
“That’s good. Ben said that there was a difficult case with a patient. You cane along to take a
look,” Jonathan suggested.
“Okay.”
“I’ll go take a look too,” Julian Parks said.
After lunch, the trio rushed to the Metropolis Hospital and went straight to Ben.
Ben had already prepared the test results.
Jonathan and Annalise reviewed the reports together and discussed the patient’s condition.
“This is not an easy operation. She’s old and her body’s recovery ability is not good. She might die if
the operation didn’t go well,” said Jonathan.
“She is old Madam ke. It’s best if she can be cured. Otherwise, it will affect the reputation of
Metropolis Hospital Should we ask the elder Quigley to do it personally if all else fails?” Ben said
awkwardly.
“This matter is equally tricky and risky even if Master Quigley takes action personally. It will be best to
reject the case if you’re afraid of affecting the hospital’s reputation,” replied Jonathan. If it was difficult
for him and Annalise to handle the case, it would be equally difficult for his mentor to take it.
This was because Annalise’s medical skills were as good as her mentor’s. The only advantage that
Master Quigley had over her was his practical experience over the years. Annalise might not have
encountered as many unique situations.
“The ke family did express that as long as we treat the olddy with all our might, they would leave it
to fate for the oue,” Ben sighed.
The ke family had already given their consent. The Metropolis Hospital was the best in
Jadeborough. Its reputation would definitely plummet if it did not take on the case.
“In that case, let’s ept it and arrange for surgery tomorrow,” said Jonathan.
“All right. Will do,” Ben immediately agreed.
He was more at ease now that Jonathan had agreed to take the case. Ultimately, fate would take over;
if the olddy could not be cured, so be it.
“By the way, can I arrange for others to observe and learn on the spot for tomorrow’s surgery?” asked
Ben.
The elder Quigley had taught Ben many things since thetter transferred the hospital to him. The most
important one was that doctors had to learn from each other and improve together. It was taboo to keep
secrets.
Therefore, in the past ten years, Ben would arrange for other doctors with certain shorings to
observe and learn whenever a doctor with better skills performed surgeries.
“Not too many, though. No more than five observers other than the surgical assistants,” Jonathan said.
“All right,” Ben replied immediately.
“This is Anna, who will join me in the operating theater tomorrow,” Jonathan said.
Ben nodded again.
Then Jonathan reminded Ben, “Don’t let it slip in front of outsiders. Remember, I’m Dr. Lawrence.”

Before Ben could respond, Jonathan changed his mind and said, “Forget it. Let’s make it public. Please
announce that Jonathan Woods will operate on old Madam ke tomorrow at two in the afternoon.”
