The smell of disinfectant lingered in the enclosed space, and Wendy lowered her eyes to check the disinfection records of the medical instruments.

Suddenly,the door to the sterilization room was flung open with a loud bang.

"Wendy! You must have been the one who posted that online, right?"

Sarah stormed in, her face flushed with anger, and shoved her phone screen in Wendy's face.

Wendy frowned slightly, glancing up coldly at Sarah. "I'm working. Don't bother me."

A nearby intern nurse, startled by the sudden commotion,almost knocked over a tray of sterilized instruments. She nervously said, "Dr. Knight, I'll step out for a moment."

With that, she quickly left the room, leaving Wendy and Sarah facing off.

Sarah's voice was sharp with fury."I apologized at the party last night.Why did you still post about it on the hospital forum? Wendy,you're so sneaky!"

"I didn't do it." Wendy's expression remained calm, as if she hadn't heard Sarah's outburst, and she continued with her work.

Sarah's face turned even redder, and she spoke faster. "Don't play dumb with me! No one else knew the details of what happened at the party.Who else could have posted it but you?"

Wondy finally glanced at Sarah's phone sereon and understood Immediately.

Her tone was indifferent. "This has nothing to do with me. Before you come in here making accusations, you should find some ovidence. Now,please leave. This is a sterilization room, not a place for your tantrums."

"You did it but won't admit lr? You're doing this to get back at Ethan, aren't you? Let me tell you, he will never be interested in someone like you!"Sarah's shoulders shook with rage, her eyes practically shooting fire.

Wendy put down the instrument she was holding and stood up slowly,her eyes cold as ice. "Sarah, Ethan and I are over. Don't forget I have the video.Leave now!"

"Delete the post right now, or I won't let you leave today!" Sarah's eyes were bloodshot as she plopped down on a nearby chair, ready to make a scene.

Just when the atmosphere was extremely tense, the sound of the wheelchair rolling over the ground came from a distance and gradually approached. "It was me! If you have a problem, take it up with me." A clear voice suddenly rang out.

Chris, being pushed by Eddy, hurried over and turned his head towards the two of them, following the sound.

Wendy was surprised."Chris?"

Chris, with a stubborn look on his youthful face, said, "Wendy didn't post it. I did! How many times have you spread rumors about Wendy on the forum? I'm just giving you a taste of your medicine!"

"You! Chris!" Sarah's hand trembled as she pointed at him, unable to form

a coherent sentence.

She knew that Chris was the last person she could afford to offend in this hospital.

Why was everyone on Wendy's side? Chris was! Alexander too!

"If you don't leave, I'll caIl security! Causing a scene in the sterilization room violates hospital rules. Leave now. or I'll have you thrown out!"Chris saíd, his fists clenched in anger.

Sarah shot Wendy a hateful look, reluctantly stood up, stomped her foot,and stormed out, her high heels clicking rapidly on the floor.

Sarah's gaze flicked back and forth between the two of them,and she suddenly let out a cold sneer. She snatched up her phone and turned on her heel, the heels of her high-heeled shoes scraping sharply across the floor. "Wendy, we'll see about this!"

As soon as she left, Chris turned to Wendy, his face full of concern."Wendy,did she bully you?"

Wendy gently pinched his cheek and smiled. "Why did you do that?"

She hadn't used much force, but Chris' face still turned a little red.

Chris rubbed his cheek and grinned. "She used to slander you on the forum all the time. I wanted her to get a taste of her own medicine!"

Wendy's smile widened with approval. "Well done."

"Wendy, did I do a good job this time?" Chris' eyes sparkled with excitement.

"Yes, you did. Thanks for your help." Wendy nodded with a smile.

"Then tonight, you have to take me out for a good meal." Chris said with a mischievous grin.

"Sure,whatever you want to eat, it's on me," Wendy agreed.

Chris was thrilled and nodded eagerly.

As soon as Chris left the sterilization room, he called Alexander."Alexander, come pick me up after work. I want you to take me out for dinner."

Whatever the response on the other end was, it made Chris frown."What?You have a social engagement? No way! Alexander, you have to come pick me up today. If you don't, you'll regret it. Don't forget."

Hearing the resigned response on the other end,Chris' smile grew smug.

Outside Blue Ridge Medical Center, a sleek black Range Rover was parked,drawing envious glances from the staff leaving for the day.

Wendy looked up and her heart skipped a beat. Chris had called Alexander too.

Alexander got out of the car and greeted them.

Following the sound,Chris grasped Alexander's arm and whispered in his ear, "Alexander, I brought Wendy here. You better make a good impression!"

Wendy walked over. "Alexander, I didn't expect Chris to call you too."

"What? Not happy to see me?" Alexander's eyes sparkled with amusement,a faint smile playing on his lips.

"No,not at all." Wendy caught a glimpse of the smile in Alexander's eyes.

and her heart skipped a beat as she hastily replled.

Alexandor raised an eyebrow. "So, you're happy to see me?"

Eddy opened the back door for Chris, who said. "Wendy, I want to lie down in the back. Yousit up front."、

Wendy didn't argue and quickly got into the car, deftly avoiding the slightly intimate question.

At the hospital entrance, Sarah and Amy happened to walk out.

"Sarah, isn't that Wendy and Chris over there? And anotherguy." Amy tugged on Sarah's sleeve, whispering.

Surah looked in the direction Amy pointed and saw them getting into the car. She stomped her foot in frustration.

They were inseparable at the party last night, and now Alexander was picking her up after work!

"Wendy really knows how to seduce men. She shouldn't be a doctor; she should teach classes on how to hook men!" Sarah said, her voice dripping with jealousy.

Amy pursed her lips, not daring to respond, but she thought to herself,'You're just jealous.'

In the car, Chris said with a smile, "Wendy, I called Alexander today because I want him to spend a lot of money. He has to treat us! Let's go to Elysian Dining!"

"Wendy,you heard him. No arguing with me over the bill this time."Alexander joked with a smile.

Wendy was amused by the two of them. "Alright, whatever you say."

At Elysian Dining, Wendy was surprised to see Francis.

It turned out that this high-end restaurant was his business.

Seeing them, Francis' eyes lit up. He flipped the menu to the last page.

"Wendy, I highly recommend the Gillardeau Oysters. They're incredibly fresh! I make them the best! You're luacky; they were flown in this morning.and there's only a limited supply!"

As he spoke, he kept winking at Alexander, clearly signaling. 'You better spend a lot this time!'

"And the lobster is great too! And the grilled Wagyu beef!"

Listening to his endless recommendations, Wendy laughed and said,"How can we eat so much?"

Francis glared at Alexander, his eyes practically shooting daggers.

Alexander smiled gently . "Wenddy, don't hold back. Order whatever you like,"
