Twin Treasures: The CEO Wife's 99-Day of Revelations-Chapter 1136: So Envious of Jocelyn Morgan

"Providing medical care is our duty, thank you for your recognition." Ian Shelby said with a gentle smile, "Your gastritis isn’t very severe, and you sought treatment promptly, so with systematic care from us, you’ll definitely recover."

"But everyone says stomach issues can’t be cured, only treated partially." The elderly man looked at him with skepticism.

Ian patiently explained, "It can be cured. Leave it to me, you can be assured."

The old man’s face blossomed into a smile.

Ian checked the elderly man’s basic physical condition, "Press the bell if you need anything, I’ll leave now."

"Okay, thank you, Dr. Shelby." The old man looked at him with gratitude.

Ian made a simple gesture towards Jocelyn Morgan.

She quickly stood up and followed him out, "Since last night’s spray, I’m feeling much better today. Should I spray one more time, and then discharge?"

"What’s the rush?" Ian said as he walked, "Patients discharged from my care must be completely recovered."

"..." Jocelyn argued, "I’m not a patient."

"You’re an injured person, the concept’s the same."

Ian led Jocelyn towards her ward, and Vera Ford approached them in the hallway holding medical records.

Seeing the two together made her feel like she had a fly stuck in her throat.

Yet she could only keep walking, and with a smile, she passed by Ian without greeting him.

It felt like needles prickling her heart!

When Vera deliberately or coincidentally passed by Jocelyn’s ward after delivering the medical records, she saw Ian helping her with the spray. Mrs. Kingston Mia was also present.

Such interpersonal relationships were truly enviable.

"Jocelyn, since you’re freelancing, there’s no rush to leave, just stay here and recuperate," Mia Lane smiled lightly, "Later on, eat with Ian, and make sure he shares every meal with you, especially if he eats meat and doesn’t allow you to just drink soup."

The girl couldn’t help but laugh, "Thank you, Mia!"

"Soup actually has more nutrients." Ian didn’t refuse as he massaged Jocelyn’s injured leg, "Master’s orders are hard to defy, so if Miss Morgan has any requests, feel free to ask, and I’ll fulfill every one."

"Thank you, Dr. Shelby!"

Outside, Vera clenched the fists at her sides and stepped away; she particularly disliked Jocelyn Morgan. This went beyond a typical patient-doctor relationship.

Two in the afternoon.

When Vera passed by Jocelyn’s ward door again, she saw her leaning against the headboard, focused as she typed on Ian’s laptop.

Despite being displeased, Vera approached Ian’s office door with a smile.

She politely knocked on the open door, "Ian, can we go house-hunting now? I’ve finished my work." She knew she couldn’t escape this, better to be proactive.

Ian’s desk lacked a computer, and he set his pen down, "Sure."

Then Ian stood up and took off his white coat, "Let’s go." After stepping out, he headed for the elevator.

Vera walked beside him, always feeling Ian was detached, unsure if it was illusion, like he was only warm to Jocelyn.

"Ian, I really appreciate your help these past few days." In the elevator, Vera turned her eyes softly towards him.

Ian’s lips curved slightly, he also glanced at her, "It’s necessary, it’s your first time in Riventhal, and you’re unfamiliar with the area."

Vera’s eyes held a smile, "I want to be an excellent doctor like you, please mentor me more in the future!"

"Sharing insights and progressing together," Ian was open to academic exchanges.

This seemed to give Vera a breakthrough, meaning despite not living together, there’d be much time spent together during the day.

As long as she worked with him, if she was outstanding enough, he would definitely notice her.

And Jocelyn couldn’t stay in the hospital forever; she seemed ready for discharge by tomorrow.

Thinking this, Vera’s smile deepened on her lips.

The place Ian found for Vera was right opposite the hospital, no need to take transport, only a five-minute walk, very convenient.

Additionally, it was a two-elevator, two-apartment building on the seventh floor, great layout, with excellent views.

Vera followed him inside, stunned by the tidy interiors, especially the lighting, it was truly exceptional with air flowing from north to south.

It overturned Vera’s impression from the news of city center homes being oppressively dense.

"How is it?" Ian asked her after she looked around, "If you don’t like it, you can choose another one; I’ve looked at five places for you."

Vera wasn’t happy at all!

Internally shocked, she began, "Ian..." Wanting to say, are you so set on sending me away? But meeting Ian’s gaze, she couldn’t say it, "Thank you."

"You’re welcome." Ian handed her the keys, "Your personal items will be moved shortly."

"..." Vera was speechless.

Sure enough, within a minute, someone came carrying boxes, "Miss Ford, these are your belongings, everything should be accounted for, please check."

"Thank you..." was all she could say.

At this moment, Ian’s phone rang; as he took it out, Vera saw the caller ID—Jocelyn Morgan.

Ian didn’t rush to answer but said to Vera, "Get familiar with the surroundings; I’ll handle your work onboarding this afternoon." Then glanced at the boxes, "Pack your things first."

After speaking, Ian turned to leave, answering the phone at the door, "Hello, what’s up?" His back quickly disappeared.
