Chapter 141


    Shane arrived at the hospital, made his way to Scott’s office, and greeted him. “Scott.”


    Scott was pleasantly surprised. “Shane, what brought you here, my friend?”


    “I was just passing by the hospital on business and thought I’d drop by to see you.” Shane ced the


    gift. he was carrying on Scott’s desk and smiled. “I heard you’ve made new discoveries in the field of


    artificial hearts. Congrattions!”


    “It’s a bit early for congrattions now. Wait until I develop an artificial heart that can truly be imnted


    in the body, then you can congratte me,” Scott joked with Shane, the atmosphere lively from the


    banter of two clever people.


    Scott thought about how Shane had once shown an interest in the goddess he admired and how he


    had grown close to her over the years. He felt a sense of pride.


    After all, the goddess who was once out of reach now actively contacted him repeatedly because of her


    child. He thoroughly enjoyed the way the goddess tried to please and get close to him.


    “Shane, do you remember our medical school goddess, Leah?” asked Scott.


    Shane thought, ‘If it weren’t for Leah, would Ie to see you? What’s so great about a grown man


    like you?”


    “I do. What about her?” replied Shane.

    Scott was pleased with himself as he said, “She’s at the hospital. How about we have dinner together


    tonight?”


    “I can do that, but I’m not sure if it’s convenient since she’s a married woman,” Shane said with a hint


    of


    bitterness.


    Scott instantly thought that Shane still held unresolved feelings and said with a smile, “Shane, I can’t


    believe you’re still such a romantic fool!”


    “Don’t talk nonsense. I’m a married man. If my wife hears you, she’ll make me sleep in the doghouse,”


    Shane said seriously but nonsensically.


    “I never expected you to be afraid of your wife!” remarked Scott.


    Shane said in a low voice, “Scott, you’re mistaken. I’m not afraid of my wife. I cherish her! She gave


    birth to our offspring and takes care of our parents. Shouldn’t I treat her well? But you wouldn’t


    understand this feeling. After all, you married our professor’s most precious gem. You have to treat her


    like a queen, right?


    “You…” Scott felt a wave of turmoil. When he was young, he chose a shortcut in life in order to avoid


    decades of hard work. Little did he know that this shortcut seemed easy to take but was filled with


    invisible dangers.


    As a son-inw, his wife had the support of his professor, and even their children didn’t bear hisst


    name. The bitterness and sorrows he carried in his heart were indescribable. People only saw his


    outward shine, unaware of the inner pain he had no one to share with.


    “Scott, you mentioned that Leah is at the hospital. Why? Is she ill?” asked Shane.


    “No, it’s her daughter who’s ill with a serious heart condition. If they can’t find a suitable heart soon,


    won’tst another three months!” replied Scott.


    she


    Shane furrowed his brows. “I remember she only has one daughter. If something happens to her


    daughter,


    can she handle it?”


    “That’s why I suggested having dinner together tonight, so we can chat about our youthful days and


    “Okay, I’ll ask my wife for permission,” Shane said, ying along.


    As Shane sought permission from his wife, Scott had to leave him alone in the ward as he had an


    emergency surgery to attend to.


    Liliane’s spirits remained high inside the ward as she and her mother sifted through wedding proposals


    sent by a wedding nningpany, making their choices
