Chapter 69
Chapter 69
Julie couldn’t remember how she fell asleepst night. All she knew was that she was still sprawled on
Sansa’s hospital bed, when she woke up the next morning, her neck feeling a bit stiff.
She looked up at Sansa, who was, as usual, quietly lying on the bed, and then got up. After freshening
up, she headed to Dr Brice’s office.
Just as Dr. Brice arrived at his office, Julie knocked on the door.
“Back keeping Sansapany again?” Dr. Brice asked with a smile as he slipped on hisb coat.
Julie nodded and said, “Dr. Brice, I’m here today because I need a favor.”
“Anything you need, just say the word,” Dr. Brice replied.
Julie sat down across from him at his desk, nervously fidgeting with the hem of her shirt before finally
saying, as if making a big decision, “Do you have any connections with hospitals in other cities?
Preferably somewhere far”
“Why are you asking this all of a sudden?” Dr. Brice asked, taken aback.
I’ve decided to move to another city. And I want to take Sansa with me, Julie said. No matter what, she
couldn’t abandon Sansa.
Dr. Brice frowned slightly. “Sure, I know people at other hospitals. But why the sudden decision to
switch hospitals, and in another city no less?”
Dr. Brice knew about Julie’s situation and had always supported her over the years.
Julie managed a weak smile. “I just want a change of scenery. Thanks for everything you’ve done for
me over the years. If you know any hospitals in other cities, please make an introduction? I’d really
appreciate it!”
“How about Oakhurst? The head of Oakhurst Hospital is an old friend of mine. If you took Sansa there,
it would probably be easier all around. But the transfer fees to Oakhurst won’t be cheap.” Dr. Brice
looked at Julie hesitantly
Julie blinked in surprise, then said, “Didn’t someone donate money for Sansa’s treatment a while back?
Let’s use that.
“Alright,” Dr. Brice agreed. “I’ll get in contact with them. Let me know when you n to go.”
“Sure. And there’s one more thing”
“Whatever it is, I’ll do my best, Dr. Brice replied generously.
“I want you to keep it a secret that I’m taking Sansa to Oakhurst. If anyone asks about me in the future,
please don’t tell them.”
“Agreed” Dr. Brice knew that Julie had her reasons. He had known her for many years and knew her
character well.
Julie stood up, bowed in gratitude to Dr. Brice, and left the hospital.
However, leaving the city wasn’t going to be easy. The de Law Firm had already contracted her
to represent them in a deal with Kieran. If she left, it would be a breach of contract.
So, on her way to Simpo Co., she arranged to have lunch with Porter to discuss the breach of contract
penalty.
Kieran was very punctual when it came to work, so no one at Simpo Co. dared to bete.
But when Kieran arrived at the office, he didn’t see Julie.
“Where is she?” he asked, handing his coat to Karl.
Karl immediately knew who Kieran was asking about. He scanned the room and, seeing no sign of
Julie, told Kieran, I’ll go find her.”
“Just a minute,” Kieran called him back. “Any progress on the investigation into the person who
donated to Sansa?”
Karl shook his head. Tm still looking. Whoever it is, they’re keeping a low profile. But I’m sure it’s not
Elliot.”
“Alright, you can go now
As soon as Karl left the office, he called Julie. She picked up quickly. “Ms. Abraham, it’s time for
work.”
“I’m in the CEO’s office, Julie replied.
Karl looked around, then said, “I don’t see you. Where in the CEO’s office are you?”
“Does Mr. Hernandez need me for something? If not, please find me when Mr. Hernandez is ready to
discuss the case with me, Julie said before hanging
up
Karl looked at his disconnected call, then at the office, and ryed Julie’s words to Kieran verbatim.
Kieran paused, pen in hand, and looked up at Karl. Tell her toe to my office. I want to discuss the
case with her.”
Karl called Julie again and ryed Kieran’s message. A few minutester, Julie appeared in the CEO’s
office, proving she had been there.
“Mr. Hernandez, Julie greeted Kieran respectfully, then ced some documents in front of him.
“Defamation by the press urs when the subject of a news report vites news regtions and other
legal norms, intentionally fabricates facts or negligently reports them, disseminates illegal or false news
to the public, thereby infringing on the rights of citizens, legal persons or other organizations, causing
illegal infringement. Creative Nexus Media’s news about your marriage.”
“Who taught you your legal knowledge? Kieran interrupted, putting down his pen and resting his long
fingers on the slightly yellowed pages.
Julie paused, then replied, “My teacher taught me
“Didn’t I teach you?” Kieran asked.
Julie was staring at his fingers, rhythmically tapping the table. Suddenly, she fell silent.
Make me a coffee, Kieran leaned back in his chair and said.
Julie turned and walked out of the office. Not half a minuteter, she stood empty–handed in front of
Kieran
“Where’s the coffee?” Kieran asked.
Julie shrugged casually and replied, “Tina knows your preferences better, and it’s her job anyway, so I
asked her to prepare it for you. She’ll probably bring It over any second now.”
Clearly, she was subtly rejecting his orders.
Nice move!
Soon enough, Tina walked in with two cups of coffee. Julie took them with a smile. Before she could
thank Tina, Kieran snatched the cup from her hand and told Tina, “Change hers to orange juice”
Tina hesitated for a second and quickly taking the cup meant for Julie from Kieran’s hand. As she was
about to turn and leave, she heard Julie say, “Never mind Thank you”
Tina left and closed the door behind her.
Julie looked at Kieran and said, “Mr. Hernandez, let’s continue our discussion. Once news infringement
urs, the infringer should assume the corresponding legal responsibilities ording to regtions.
The civilw stiptes ten ways for the infringer to assume civil responsibilities” “Come here,” Kieran
opened the documents prepared by Julie and stood up from his seat.
Then he gestured to Julie toe over and pointed to his chair, saying, “Sit down.”
Julie stood her ground and said, “Just say what you want.”
“Youe here and sit, or Ie to you. You know the difference between you initiating and me
initiating. His voice turned chilly
In the end, Julie sat down in Kieran’s armchair. She knew very well the consequences of angering him
Kieran opened the documents she had prepared, one hand on the back of her chair, the other on the
table, and then he looked at her and asked, “Do you know why I chose you as thewyer for this
case?”
Julie avoided eye contact with Kieran. She replied, “You didn’t choose me. You chose de Law
Firm.”
Her straightforward answer left Kieran silent for a while.

Julie thought he would make a further move and had prepared a countermeasure, but she didn’t expect
Kieran to suddenly stand up straight and say to her casually. “You can leave now. Let Karl arrange the
relevant work for you.”
Kieran just let her leave without giving her a hard time.
This confused Julie a bit
A few minutester, Kieran called Karl, “Check on Mrs. Hernandez’s recent activities.
Karl had just finished arranging work for Julie when he received Kieran’s call. The moment he heard
the title ‘Mrs. Hernandez, he had a bad feeling.
Karl immediately checked on Julie’s recent activities. He found out she had spent the night in the
hospital and had gone to Dr. Brice’s office first thing in the morning
Dr. Brice kept his promise and didn’t tell anyone about Sansa’s uing transfer. But if he were to
assist Sansa with the transfer, he would have to contact Oakhurst Hospital. Karl quickly discovered that
Dr. Brice had contacted the director of Oakhurst Hospital..
So, he reported to Mr. Hernandez, “Yesterday, Mrs. Hernandez spent the night in Miss Sansa’s hospital
room and went to Dr. Brice’s office early this morning. After Mrs. Hernandez left, Dr. Brice immediately
contacted the director of Oakhurst Hospital, saying he nned to transfer an unconscious patient from
Whispering Pines Hospital”
Karl had done a thorough investigation.
Did Julie want to transfer Sansa to Oakhurst?
Oakhurst and Whispering Pines, one in the south and one in the north.
Was Julie nning to run away with this decision?
Kieran’s eyes darkened at the thought. Karl took the initiative to propose, “Shall I go verify again?”
“No need,” Kieran abruptly stood up, grabbed his coat, and left the office.
