After all, there was no telling what crazy stunts she would pull next if she were to go free.
Shane arched an eyebrow upon hearing that. “Oh? Are you sure you won't rescue her? You love her very much,
don't you? Things aren't going to end well for her now that she's in my hands. In fact, she might even die at my
hand! Knowing this, you still won't try to save her?”
Of course, Jackson knew that Shane was testing him by spiting him. “That's right, I won't save her. It's true that I
don't want her to die, but I also know that it would be unfair to your parents if she lives. Perhaps this is a form of
release for Jacqueline.”
I can't tell if Jackson is telling the truth, but it doesn't matter. Jacqueline isn't going to get away this time!
Shane narrowed his eyes at the thought of that. “Okay, I can allow you to see her. I'll give you further instructions
tomorrow night.”
Feeling relieved that his request had been approved, Jackson thanked him profusely, “Sure thing! Thank you,
Shane!”
Shane simply hung up on him without saying anything further.
“Dr. Baker wants to see Jacqueline?” Natalie asked.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Yeah, he says he has some questions for her,” Shane replied while putting his cell phone aside.
“As well he should!” Natalie said with a smile.
Shane arched an eyebrow at her. “You know what he wants to ask her?”
Natalie nodded. “Kind of. It's most likely about their relationship or something. All right, enough talk about them.
Let's go upstairs and see what the kids are doing!”
“Okay.” Shane held her hand and went up the stairs with her.
Meanwhile, Joyce clenched her fists and took a deep breath before entering Stanford Hospital.
Stanley deserves to know the truth even if he'll end up hating me and my family more than before, so that's exactly
what I'm going to tell him!
Having made up her mind, Joyce walked up to the front desk and asked, “Excuse me, is Dr. Quinn on duty today?”
The nurse eyed her from head to toe. “Who are you?”
“I'm a friend of his, and I need to see him quite urgently,” Joyce replied.
“Sorry, miss, but I can't tell you anything about Dr. Quinn!” the nurse said with a sarcastic chuckle.
Joyce frowned in confusion. “Why not?”
“Why else do you think? It's because you're one of those women who have taken a liking to Dr. Quinn! We've had
tons of other women like you asking about him. Some of them even wait here just to catch Dr. Quinn when he
passes by! One particular woman went as far as causing a huge scene when she couldn't see Dr. Quinn. She
threatened to sit on the floor until Dr. Quinn agrees to see her. Her actions nearly caused the delay of a critically ill
patient's treatment!” the nurse replied coldly with a shrug.
Oh, so that's why...
The corner of Joyce's lips twitched slightly as she explained, “I'm sorry I didn't make myself clear enough earlier,
but I'm not that kind of woman. I really am a friend of Stanley's, and I have something very important to tell him.”
The nurse refused to believe her and decided to just ignore her altogether.
With no other choice, Joyce let out a helpless sigh as she pulled out her cell phone and dialed Stanley's number.
The nurse froze in shock when she saw that.
Although she didn't get a clear view of the phone number, she did notice Stanley's name on the caller ID.
Wait a minute... Is this woman really Dr. Quinn's friend? If that's the case, would he get mad at me for stopping her
from seeing him?
Oblivious to the nurse's expression, Joyce held the phone up to her ear and prayed for Stanley to answer the call.
Fortunately for her, Stanley answered the phone after a few rings. “What is it?” he asked coldly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Stanley...” Joyce sobbed.
