Marie was so infuriated by Dennis that she spat blood, storming out of the hospital in a huff.

When Gavin returned to the office, only Dennis was left sitting on the couch.

“Oh? So even the famous Mr. Whitney has a day when he’s left hanging?” Gavin teased.

You should know that Dennis comes from an influential noble family in New York. He is the youngest

son, and the most beloved by the old man of the Whitney family. Dennis is considered half an heir to

the Whitney family, controlling a significant portion of the Whitney Group.

Adding to her stunning appearance and aloof personality, in Gavin’s words, she’s like a walking

marriage certificate.

New York’s socialites are going crazy over him, and they’re all vying for a chance to spend a romantic

evening with Dennis.

Being in a relationship with Dennis is like giving yourself a golden touch.

Which woman wouldn’t keep a close eye on Dennis? Yet, this Marie just left him hanging and walked

away.

Well, that’s quite unique.

“Get lost.” Dennis spat out the word, his whole being exuding an air of displeasure.

Gavin shouldn’t have said anything. His words only made Dennis more upset. Dennis had money and

good looks, yet Marie barely paid any attention to him.

He couldn’t help but feel frustrated as he thought about it.

Gavin tossed two sheets of paper onto the table and said, “Take a look, what kind of medications has

Ms. Spence been taking before?”

Dennis glanced over, remaining aloof and indifferent, as he couldn’t care less.

Gavin looked at him, not moving, and laughed. “How old are you, and you’re still being stubborn?”

“Ms. Spence said it was her stepmother who gave her those medicines. Tsk, tsk, tsk. They’re trying to

ruin her,” Gavin remarked.

“Out with it!” Dennis snapped angrily.

“Most of these medications contain hormonal ingredients,” Gavin said. “I heard that Ms. Spence

used to be quite overweight, which is probably related to this. There are also a few medications here

for treating depression.”

“Fight depression? What happens if you eat it?” Dennis asked.

“These anti–depression medications, to put it bluntly, are adrenergic blocking agents. If a healthy

person takes too much, it can affect their neural thinking. In simpler terms, they could become foolish.

This stepmother really wants Ms. Spence to live her life both overweight and foolish,”

Gavin exclaimed.

Dennis thought about the sweet smile of that girl, and realized she wasn’t silly at all.

“But from what Ms. Spence said, she’s been taking this medicine for over a decade, and she seems to

be quite lively and not at all foolish,” Gavin remarked.

Dennis glanced at him and asked, “Do you really wish she was a fool?”

Gavin noticed the warning in Dennis‘ eyes and let out a couple of forced laughs, “No… no, not at all.”

Gavin had just settled down at his desk in the office when a man sneakily walked in. He peered out the

door for quite a while before finally taking a seat.

Gavin asked irritably, “Did you register?”

He was in Las Vegas on a business trip, working in a temporary office provided by the hospital, not

here to treat patients.

Brendan asked, “Was there a young girl who came for a check–up just now? She seemed quite young,

around 18 or 19 years old.”

Gavin paused for a moment and asked, “Why are you asking about this?”

Brendan clenched his clothes tightly, pulling out a bulging envelope and placing it on the table. He said, NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

“Doctor, our young lady had a falling out with her boyfriend, but she’s pregnant now. She’s still young,

and if this gets out, it won’t be good for her reputation. Could you please return her laboratory report to

our family?”

Brendan spoke earnestly, but Gavin knew that Marie was constantly being ostracized by the Spence

family. How could anyone genuinely care about her reputation?

“This is the patient’s privacy, we shouldn’t disclose it…” Gavin said with a hint of embarrassment.

“Doctor, please be lenient and give me back the laboratory report. All this money is yours,” Brendan

said, pushing the envelope forward.

Gavin felt a bit uneasy and said, “I’ll go in and take a look.”

He pulled back the curtain and stepped inside. Dennis was sitting on the couch, but Brendan hadn’t

seen him because the curtain was blocking the view.

Gavin glanced at Dennis, his eyes signaling, should we give it or not?

Dennis nodded.

Gavin stepped out and handed the printed laboratory report to Brendan. With a serious expression, he

said, “Don’t tell anyone I gave this to you, or I won’t be able to keep my job!”

Brendan was all smiles and delighted as he walked away with the laboratory report in hand.

Gavin weighed the envelope in his hand and laughed, “First time being bribed, and it’s only 7,500

dollars.”

Cullen just came in and asked, “Mr. Whitney, are we going back to the company now?”

Dennis nodded, stood up, and handed the envelope to Cullen before leaving the office.

Gavin laughed, “This guy, he really doesn’t take any losses, does he?”
