Chapter 80
“No, no ordinary doctor has such skill. If it’s not a god, then it’s Dr. Maynard…”
Zachery, the lead surgeon, glanced up.
The neurosurgeon quickly clarified, “When I say Dr. Maynard, I mean it as an adjective, not to imply any suspicion of Dr. Maynard himself.”
Zachery smiled lightly. “No offense taken.”
The orthopedic doctor said, “Although Dr. Maynard hasn’t been at our hospital long, he’s known for his kindness. Only those jealous of him dislike him. Anyone who suspects him of harming others is the one who should be suspected.”
“Exactly, exactly.”
Zachery smiled with composure.
The hemostat in his hand seemed to accidentally brush against one of Joshua’s nerves.
Joshua, who had fainted from the pain, was jolted awake, screaming and wailing.
The others couldn’t bear it any longer. “Give him some anesthetic.”
The ever–kind Dr. Maynard said, “They’re all superficial wounds, and we’re not opening the skull… Let’s save what we can.
After fainting from the pain, Joshua was awakened by it again… and again, and again.
A fate worse than death!

After a night’s rest, Josephine went to the office as usual the next day.
To her surprise, no one in the company was talking about what had happened yesterday.
It was as if nothing had ever happened; everything was calm and peaceful.
Joshua hadn’t called the police.

Neither had she.
For one thing, Joshua getting his comeuppance was deeply satisfying.
For another, she wanted to protect the person who had secretly dealt with Joshua.
That person had done a good deed without leaving a name; if they weren’t found out, they could continue to help others and make society better.
If they were discovered, they would definitely end up in jail…
That was how Josephine weighed things.
The chairman brought in the media and arranged for Josephine to record a special interview for EternalCore Fab.
Josephine gave a concise introduction about the breakthroughs that would be made in future chips.
In just two days, the number of visits to EternalCore Fab’s official website had increased noticeably.
There were even a few pre–orders for the fingerprint ring.
The team members were overjoyed.
Since joining the company, Josephine had never treated the staff to a meal.
She picked a seafood buffet online and ordered a few bottles of wine.
Her colleagues said they wanted to toast her one by one, which scared her into hiding in the lounge area to listen to people sing.
As luck would have it, the one singing was Helena.
Wilfred was in the audience below, looking at her with gentle indulgence.
Josephine rolled her eyes and went to the restroom.
Unexpectedly, Helena was still haunting her, standing at the sink admiring herself in the mirror, waiting for her.
She was wearing a pure and sweet white dress, and had cut light, wispy French bangs.
With a casual toss of her hair, Josephine saw a faint hickey on Helena’s neck.

She could easily imagine Wilfred leaning over Helena, kissing her with dreamlike tenderness.
Her stomach churned violently.
Josephine threw
up all the wine she had drunk.

Helena didn’t care at all, and sneered as she said:
“Josephine, you’re the one who’s always acting provocative, yet you think others are the seductresses.”
“No matter how disgusting I am, I could never be as disgusting as you, Josephine.”
“You were totally infatuated with Joshua, Josephine. Don’t you even realize it yourself?”
With a sharp “smack,” Josephine raised her hand and slapped Helena across the face, quick and precise.
“If your mouth is itching, let me fix it for you. Stop spreading rumors about me.
Helena covered her face, glaring angrily at Josephine.
