---- Chapter 248 However , the split-second hesitation had already revealed Julian's true thoughts. The answer wasn't what he had said out loud. Wendy sneered. "I'm not an idiot. Don't try to fool me. I will never forgive you." She looked away, shaking her head. Her voice was calm and steady as she said, "I'm not going to plead for you, either. The only reason I'm not calling the police again is out of respect for Dr. Quinn.

But if you come bothering me again, I won't even spare him any." She did not even glance at Julian. "You-" Julian hadn't expected her to be so cold. His expression twisted angrily. Suddenly , he stood up from the floor and glared viciously at Wendy. "Who do you think you are? You think I need your forgiveness ? Wendy, do you believe you're some kind of big deal?" The sudden change in tone stunned her for a moment. She turned to look at him and saw the stubborn defiance in his eyes.

Her gaze darkened. Liam stepped in front of the hospital bed, his voice sharp." Leave!" ---- Julian looked at Liam and sneered coldly. "So now you have to come protect your master? People like you should be fired. Your improper relationship is ruining the reputation of the medical field!" His words held no real threat. Liam immediately called security to have Julian thrown out. Before being dragged away, the completely unhinged Julian shouted, "Just wait, Wendy.

One day, I'll make you pay back every bit of this humiliation!" Wendy frowned but remained calm. "The humiliation you suffered is your own doing. It has nothing to do with me." That simple statement sent Julian roaring down the hospital corridor as he was dragged out. The security guards were well-trained to handle people like him, and within seconds, his shouting faded into silence. Liam closed the door behind them and returned to Wendy's side, "Are you okay?" She shook her head. "I'm fine.

He didn't actually touch me." He wanted to say something , but Wendy cut him off to stop him from worrying. "By the way, will the drugs in my system affect me? Does the surgery need to be postponed?" This time, Liam shook his head. "Don't worry. I've checked. The drugs detected in your blood won't harm your nerves or affect the surgery." ---- Most of the drugs had already been metabolized out of her system. All she needed to do was drink more water and eat well to flush out the rest.

Wendy breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good to know." Gregory and some colleagues from the symposium arrived to check on Wendy. While concerned about the surgery, they were more worried about her. After all, news of Julian's morning rampage had quickly spread through their circle. Once Wendy showed that she was fine, they gradually left before dinner. She didn't need to stay in the hospital, so Liam took her home that evening.

As the car pulled into the complex, Wendy spotted a familiar vehicle from afar. She immediately said, "How about we go out for dinner tonight?" It was James' car. The man sitting in the driver's seat was undoubtedly him. Although Wendy no longer feared running into him or hearing his outrageous words, she didn't want him to ruin her mood. 'The surgery was just around the corner. Liam glanced at the car and nodded. "Okay."
