---- Chapter 120 Alex agreed, while Kaleb was guilty of going against Wendy and couldn't find any faults either. The proposal received overwhelming support from the others. Julian glanced at Wendy when she returned to her seat, a trace of sarcasm and displeasure in his eyes. "The patient will be transferred to City General Hospital tomorrow . Once we've conducted a thorough examination , we'll hold another seminar," Gregory said.

"Wendy, let everyone know in the group chat so they can be prepared." As the top student and Gregory's assistant, Wendy had plenty of work to do. After the team meeting ended, Julian deliberately lingered at the hospital , waiting for Wendy to come out of the meeting room. "Are you happy now? Even Dr. Hendrix and Dr. Jordan backed you up. You must feel great to have them agreeing with you, huh?" The moment Wendy stepped outside, she was met with Julian's biting sarcasm.

She stopped in her tracks and looked coldly at Julian, who just wouldn't leave her alone. "When exactly did you see me acting proud, Dr. Drake? Don't ---- forget. The whole point of forming this seminar and drafting those plans is to help that patient get better." Julian flashed her a smile that lacked any genuine warmth. " Not feeling proud? And yet, here you are giving mea lecture." "This isn't the time for anyone to show off.

If you thought I was wrong, why didn't you speak up during the meeting?" She looked at him with a puzzled expression , as if he were a child throwing a tantrum who still needed to be gently reassured by an adult. Julian was irritated by her gaze. He snapped, "Just wait, Wendy. We'll see how long you can stay so smug." With that, he stormed off in anger. Wendy let out a weary sigh. She had kept her responses minimal, especially in contrast to Julian's constant jabs and biting sarcasm.

Despite her remarkable patience , he seemed to be the one who ended up getting angry every time. Yara stepped out of the nearby prep room and tsked. "I'd only heard about Julian's infamous reputation before, but after seeing him today? Guess the rumors about how petty he is weren't exaggerated." Wendy couldn't help but laugh. After a full day of clinic duty at the hospital, Wendy received a call from Liam just as she was getting off work. "Your sleep schedule is getting weirder by the day.

Isn't it 4: 30 am over there?" She couldn't help but comment the ---- moment she picked up. Liam didn't respond directly, instead asking, "Been tired lately?" Wendy sighed. "Yeah, but it's also been really rewarding. This patient's background is so mysterious. I'm getting all the more curious." Alow chuckle came from the other end of the line. "You'll find out tomorrow."" "Alright. Why are you calling at this hour? Did something happen?" Liam replied calmly, "No, just checking in.

You're off work by now, right?" "Yeah, I'm packing up. You're not in some kind of trouble, are you?" Wendy paused halfway through taking off her coat. "What makes you say that?" "You don't usually make calls like this." Liam chuckled again. Wendy grew even more curious. "You're all smiles today. Be honest. Are you seeing someone?" Liam just chuckled in response. "You'll find out when I get back." "When are you coming back? I'll come pick you up," Wendy asked, a hint of surprise in her voice.

---- But there were only a little over ten days left before she left for her training, and this wasn't exactly a typical time for Liam to be taking a break. The more she thought about it, the more convinced she became. Something must've happened.
