“Exactly.” Howard affirmed.
Gwendolyn felt her head spin with theplexity of it all and sighed, “They really go to great lengths,
don’t they?”
How do these rich folks even think? No wonder they know how to make a buck.
Howard looked into her eyes earnestly and said, “One day, they’ll go to great lengths just to see you
too.”
A warm feeling blossomed in Gwendolyn’s heart, and she nodded emphatically, “Yeah”
The driver pulled up to the hospital entrance, and Gwendolyn stepped out of the car with a spring in her
step, “Mr. Chadwick, you better head to the office. With the big contract we justnded, there’s no need
for you to drop me off anymore.”
“Okay”
Gwendolyn stood there, watching the car drive away with a smile, before turning to walk into the
hospital.
“Dr. Quigley, good moming. The media coverage from the free clinic was fantastic. I hear the hospital’s
nning to hold an appreciation ceremony for you guys.”
“Really? Well, that’s pretty nice, Gwendolyn replied with a smile, slipping into her hospital gown on her
way to the clinic.
“Coming in for your shift? It’s going to be a busy day. Sandra said with augh, “The patients who
come here by reputation were so disappointed when you weren’t around,”
Gwendolyn returned the smile and punched in for work. Twenty appointments vanished in the blink of
an eye.
She had surpassed Aiken to be the hottest name in the Rehabilitation Department. Some
spected that Gwendolyn was on track to be the youngest–ever head physician in its history
“The first one..

o those grappling with
The waiting room outside her clinic was filled with patients. They ranged from those seeking routine
care toplex ailments that medicine couldn’t resolve. They all hoped she could offer them a chance
at recovery.
And Gwendolyn often did just that.
She treated each patient with patience. As noon approached, she massaged her stiff neck and
reopened the calling system.
“Patient number twenty, ude Lopez.”
The automated voice of the system rang out, and Gwendolyn froze
She got to her feet involuntarily. The name wasn’t unfamiliar to her, but with so many people sharing
names, it couldn’t possibly be the person she was thinking of
ude was hooked up to tubes and machines, so he wouldn’t be risked by the Lopez family during a
hospital visit.
“Patient number twenty, ude Lopez. Please proceed to Dc Gwendolyn Quigley in the Rehabilitation
Department, the automated voice repeated.
Suddenly, the corridor erupted in noise. The rumble of wheels echoed as two guards in ck suits
pushed a hospital bed into the clinic. “Patient number twenty is here.” Magnolia walked in.
“Dr. Quigley, please take a look at my brother,” Magnolia said coolly
The corridor was packed with onlookers. It was a spectacle to see someone bring a critical patient to
see a holistic doctor.
Gwendolyn pursed her lips and looked at ude on the rudimentary hospital bed, “Ms. Lopez, ude
is extremely weak. He shouldn’t be jostled about like this. I rmend you take him to the ICU
immediately.”
Magnolia’s eyes welled up, but her gaze remained cold.
She followed Selina’s advice and said, “We’ve followed the hospital’s procedures and booked an
appointment. You’re a disciple of a great doctor and surely you won’t turn away a patient. He’s just
another patient to you, but he’s my family”
“Dr. Quigley, please see to his care. Whatever the oue, we, the Lopez family, won’t hold you
ountable.”
Her words put Gwendolyn on the spot
Unaware of the full story, a bystander’said, “Dr. Quigley, please take a look. Maybe the old ways have a
cure. They’re desperate, bringing in someone in such a state. No one will me you if you can’t help.”
The underdog always gamers more sympathy. After all, wasn’t it a doctor’s duty to try to heal?
Gwendolyn clenched her fists tightly, her legs felt as heavy as lead, and her eyes trembled slightly.
