Chapter 4 What Do You Want
“I’m Alec Faust, the president of Faust Group. If I vouch for her, is that enough for you?” he asked, looking at the patient’swife.Alec from Faust Group was here! There was a mixture of panic, curiosity, and disbelief on everyone’s faces. While they maynot know Jenny, they all knew who Alec was.Staring at Alec, who often appeared on TV, the patient’s wife finally nodded. Withsuch an influential person vouching for Jenny, she figured that Jenny must be a skilled doctor.As they wheeled the patient intothe operating theater, Jenny gave Alec a nod before heading inside. Although she was curious why he suddenly showed up tovouch for her, she didn’t have time to ask any questions. After all, saving her patient’s life was the focus.As the lights in theoperating room turned on, a group of people huddled at the door to wait, with Alec among them.Three hours later, the lights inthe operating theater dimmed, and a nurse finally exited the room. Immediately, the patient’s wife rushed forward, her familytrailing behind, “How is my husband? Did the surgery go well?”“Yes, it was a successful operation that put the patient out ofdanger,” replied the nurse.As soon as they heard that, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Alec was an exception. Standing in acorner, he did not seem surprised by the result.Soon, the nurse wheeled the patient out of the room, and the family membersfollowed, leaving Alec alone at the door of the operating theater.When Jenny walked out of the room, she noticed himimmediately, as he did her. Quickly, he approached and said, “Hello, Dr. Walter.”“Hello, Mr. Alec,” she greeted in return. Afterperforming hours of surgery, her voice was a little weak.Alec wanted to get down to business immediately, knowing the severityof Faye’s condition. However, after noticing Jenny’s fatigue, he said, “I would like to treat you to a meal.”Frowning, Jenny refusedhis invitation instinctively.“If you have something to say, you can just say it now.”He had never invited her for a meal for the entiretwo years of their marriage. However, the moment they divorced, he wanted to treat her to dinner. How ridiculous!Although sheknew he didn’t realize that the doctor before him was the woman he had divorced just the day before, Jenny felt highlyuncomfortable with the situation. She wanted nothing to do with him.“Alright, then,” Alec didn’t need to be told twice, and he airedhis request instantly. “I need you to operate on someone. These are her medical records.”Jenny received the materials he hadprepared. Upon opening the folder, she saw a photo of a girl with large eyes smiling at her. So, was this why Alec didn’t visit herfor the past two years? How cute, she thought.Nonetheless, it had nothing to do with her. Since they had divorced, he was freeto like whoever he fancied.Examining Faye’s medical records, the expression on Jenny’s face turned increasingly solemn. Shewas beginning to understand why Alec had come looking for her.After a long time, she returned the folder to him, saying, “Hercondition is very serious, but I’m sure you are very aware of that.”“Yes,” Alec nodded, his expression almost sorrowful. “She hashad an operation in the past, but the illness unexpectedly relapsed. Almost everyone is telling us that she has no chancenow.”Despite the situation, he refused to give up. How could he ever face Anthony Lawrence, who had died to save him, if hegave up?Faye Lawrence had a brain tumor. In addition to the difficulty of the surgery, Faye was currently facing a relapse of herillness. The second surgery was always more complicated and challenging than the first.Perhaps he noticed hesitation becauseAlec hurriedly added, “You can ask me for anything in return; I will agree as long as it is within my ability.”Jenny glanced at him.She never expected that the ruthless president of Faust Group would offer everything he had for his loved one.“Where is she?”
she asked. “I need to see the patient first.”Although she didn’t want to get involved with Alec’s issues, her profession as a doctormade her unable to refuse a plea for help. It was the same in this situation, even if the patient was Alec’s lover.“She’s in theFaust Group’s private hospital. I can bring you there to see her right now,” he replied, somewhat surprised that Jenny agreed soquickly. He had been sure that Jenny would make some requests.Hearing his reply, Jenny frowned.“Is she not in ParringtonHospital?”“No, she isn’t here. Private hospitals are better in many aspects. You would also have a higher chance of successshould you operate there.”Given that his private hospital had the most advanced equipment and provided the best conditions,there was no way he would allow Faye to stay in Parrington Hospital.To his surprise, Jenny shook her head and apologized, “I’msorry, but I can’t operate on Miss Lawrence.”“Why not?” Alec asked. Just moments ago, she was obviously keen onoperating.Feeling a little helpless, Jenny was about to explain when Alec handed her a check, saying, “Money is not aproblem.”However, Jenny barely glanced at it. Although the amount written on it could tempt anyone, she smiled and said, “Thatis a large sum of money, but money isn’t the solution to everything.”“Then what do you want?” demanded Alec, trying hard tokeep his anger in check.Was his offer too low?Some content on the website is uploaded by users.
