Evelyn finished up her work quickly, and zoomed over to the hospital. When she arrived, the doctors were on their rounds.

There were more than 10 doctors milling around the VIP ward of the pediatric department. 'Why so many?' Evelyn thought.

She checked the ward number again just to make sure. Yes, she had it right, Ward 6 of the pediatric department.

But didn't Gwyn just have a fever? Why were there so many doctors here?

She still wondered if she was in the right ward. But there were too many people inside the room, so she couldn't see the patient clearly. So she pulled out her phone and called Sheffield. "What ward is Gwyn in?" she asked.

"Ward 6. So you're here?"

"Doesn't she just have a fever? What's going on?" Evelyn asked carefully as she held her breath.

"Yeah. They gave her something for the fever and she's on an IV now."

"Okay, I'm at the door. I'll go in after the doctors come out. I don't feel like squeezing in there."

"Sure."

Sheffield ended the call, and faced the doctors with a smile. "Thank you, everyone. Looks like Gwyn's going to be okay. Director Jin, I'll let you get back to work. Thank you for your time."

Director Jin nodded, "Okay. When you get tired of being a CEO and want to be a surgeon again, just tell me. There's always a place for you here!"

"You were the best surgeon, Dr. Tang. Things haven't been the same since you left. Are you coming back?" one of the doctors said.

They hadn't found a suitable replacement for Sheffield yet.

Horace patted Sheffield's shoulder and said, "Let me know when you're free. Drinks are on me." His friend found out only recently that Sheffield was a CEO.

Sheffield put his hand on Horace's shoulder and expressed his gratitude. "Thanks for the compliment. I'm probably not leaving Theo Group anytime soon, but I'll give you a ring when I get some time. Free drinks are hard to pass up!"

"Okay. Looking forward to it!"

"Sounds good!"

Director Jin made his way out, and the other doctors and nurses followed.

Meanwhile, Evelyn had stepped away to answer a business call. W

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.

To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.

"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."

She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.

Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.

floor, so they climbed the stairs and made their way there. Carlos knocked on Matthew's door and summoned him as well. When they were all assembled, Sheffield filled them in. "I found Napier. He had an altercation with the cops recently, and took Gillian hostage. Apparently, he knows her. Or at least, knows about her."

Carlos had some more info. "I talked with Chief Tao yesterday. He's a clever guy. He didn't bat an eye when I mentioned Napier."

Matthew looked at Sheffield. "You can look into their relationships online, including Chief Tao's past."

"Probably worth pursuing. Although the chief erased the evidence, we can find something if we dig deeply enough," Sheffield agreed.

Half an hour later, they left the study, having come up with a plan of action.

Evelyn didn't know about it, at least until Napier contacted her out of the blue.

That night, after Gwyn fell asleep, she received a mysterious phone call. "Hello," a voice said.

"It's me." The voice sounded familiar.

They hadn't seen each other in a long time. So Evelyn wasn't sure who it was. "Who is this?" Evelyn asked.

"I didn't expect Sheffield to be so clever, Evelyn. I couldn't kill him. He turned me into a wanted man. Melody will never forgive you if I die!"

So it was Napier.

"What are you talking about? What does all this have to do with Sheffield?" She didn't know what had happened.
