Chapter 117
At half past three in the afternoon.
The female nurse told Nelissa that Dr. Harvey had finished the operation and went to Dr. Harvey's private office. She bent her fingers slightly and knocked on the door.
Soon, the door handle twisted, and the person inside opened the door of the office. The spotless white coat made the man look handsome and handsome. There was a half-naked mask on his right ear, and his face was so indifferent that no expression could be seen. It was very cold.
Nelissa forced a smile and took the initiative to greet her mother's doctor. "Hello, Dr. Harvey."
Alex glanced at Nelissa. Without saying a word, he went straight to the sink in the office, took off his mask, threw it into the trash can, and washed his hands with disinfectant. Although the operation had just been done, he had to clean it up again when he returned to the office.
Nelissa entered the office and closed the door. She glanced at the name brand on the desk: Alex. He's a attending physician at 27 years old.
At the same age as Jolene, he was also young and promising.
Nelissa had checked on the Internet about Alex. She had seen and heard about his medical deeds abroad, so she was quite confident in his medical skills. "I am the family of Miss Quest."
"I know. I've seen the patient's case." After washing his hands, Alex sat down at his desk with a poker face.
Alex gave Nelissa the same feeling as the authoritative experts she had seen on TV. He was strict, conceited, and meticulous. Naturally, it was not easy for him to achieve such a feat at such a young age. Nelissa asked him, "What do you think of Miss Quest's condition? Do you have any hope of waking up?"
Alex looked up at the patient's case and suddenly asked Nelissa, "Are you a friend of Jolene?"
What?
Nelissa furrowed her brows. Why did it have to do with Jolene?
"When I sent Jolene home that day, I saw you carrying her luggage." Alex put the case together. Only then did he reveal a trace of emotion on his face. His tone was almost gentle when he read Jolene's name. "That day? What day?" Nelissa thought about it for a moment before recalling the day when Jolene had returned from his trip. She looked at him and asked, "Are you Jolene's ex-boyfriend?"
"No." Alex denied it. He turned a silver ring on his ring finger. He had worn it for many years, and the cheap ring had been severely deformed, which was incompatible with Alex's noble temperament. He said lightly, "I am her ex-husband."
What?
Nelissa couldn't digest it. Jolene had gotten married?
Alex put his hand on the ring on his ring finger, and the expression on his handsome face had disappeared. "I have already studied the patient's case. I will set up a medical plan group based on her situation. Next, I will take over her and all the medical expenses produced by the patient in the hospital are free."
Nelissa frowned. "Why are you exempt from my medical expenses?"
"Because you're Jolene's friend." The only ones who could make others know each other were Jolene, as well as the people and matters related to him.
"No conditions?" Nelissa asked without any joy. Although she didn't know the details, she knew that this man had once hurt Jolene's heart.
"I've been separated from Jolene for a few years, so I can't get in touch with her. She hasn't gone back to her parents. I don't want to lose contact with her anymore. Since you're her friend, she should be with you. No matter where she goes, please tell me." Alex had never changed his phone number since he returned to China from abroad. No matter how inconvenient it was, he wouldn't change his phone number.
He had been waiting for someone's call day and night.
Glancing at the doctor's certificate, Nelissa couldn't help sneering. "You're a doctor. Your medical skills are so high, but you can't even protect the child in Jolene's belly. What's the use of keeping her here? Does she agree to reunite with you? I think she has clearly rejected you, right?"
Alex pulled open the drawer of his desk and handed a bank card to Nelissa. "There's ten million in this card. I hope you can give it to Jolene."
Nelissa shook her head. "I can't accept it on behalf of her."
Alex handed the bank card to Nelissa and took it back. He said, "I owe her a lot. Money is my only way to compensate her at present. She has been spoiled by me since she was a child. I don't want her to suffer because of life."
Nelissa wasn't Jolene. She couldn't refuse to pay on behalf of Jolene. In the end, she accepted Alex's bank card and didn't have to go against money. Either way, she didn't know the password on the card. The only ones who knew the password were only Jolene and Alex's. If Jolene didn't want the money inside, he could just break the card. He wouldn't be greedy.
Nelissa said, "Dr. Harvey, let's talk about the patient. I can't help you with your private affairs. I will pay the medical expenses myself. You don't have to worry about it."
Alex shook his head, as if he didn't want to talk about it anymore. "You can't afford my surgery fee. Even if you raise enough money, not every patient will take over. I have to follow my rules. I will help you only because of Jolene, just because of Jolene. You can think about it slowly, but in the future, except for me, it is difficult for you to find a second doctor who can wake the patient up."
After he finished speaking, he got up and went out, still having work to do.

Nelissa had a headache and was worried.
She had originally placed her hopes on Alex and had hoped that he could perform an operation on her mother. However, who knew that Alex turned out to be the scumbag who had injured Jolene. Her rationality and feelings were pulled and she felt as if she had betrayed him. However, if she refused to accept it, what would happen to her mother?
On one hand, it was family affection. On the other hand, it was friendship. Nelissa was conflicted.
Back in the ward.
Nelissa sat beside the bed to take care of Sonya. In fact, there was nothing to do with the so-called care. Sonya had been in a coma and could not move or speak. She could not express her discomfort or breath. Nelissa could only wipe Sonya's face and hands and feet. Then she sat down and muttered to Sonya.
She felt sad and disappointed.
Nelissa thought that she would cry, but fortunately, she comforted herself that the most difficult moment had passed. Now that Alex was here, at least there was still some hope and hope.
She would go back and have a frank chat with Jolene. This matter would definitely be discussed with him, and she didn't want him to be caught in a dilemma.
It was almost time to get off work when Nelissa rushed back to the company. She wasn't worried that her colleague would accuse her. After all, her direct superior was Jolene, and the boss didn't have time to listen to a small employee's report. As long as they had a good relationship in the company, they could help each other when they went to work.
After work, his colleagues left.
Nelissa was waiting for Jolene with a bunch of roses in her arms. Not long after, Jolene came out with a few documents under his arm. While tidying up, he said to Nelissa, "That's enough. Let's go."
Sitting in the elevator, Nelissa cleared her throat and said, "I'll treat you to dinner tonight. Where do you want to go?"
"So good?" Jolene turned his head and looked at her. He held the document with both hands and clicked his tongue, "The list hasn't been reached yet, and the prize money hasn't been sent yet. You're thinking of spending money." Nelissa smiled as she hugged the bouquet and freed up a hand to help Jolene with the document. She said in a soft voice, "I want to be nice to you."
Jolene snorted and laughed, "Don't act like a spoiled child. Your bones are already numb. I still have work to do at home tonight. I might have to work overtime in a few days, so I won't go out for dinner. You can cook for me at home." Nelissa thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll stew some soup for you."

Jolene liked to drink stewed soup. Since the two of them were usually busy with their work, it was too time-consuming for them to make soup after work. Most of the time, they would go out to eat and order a cup of soup. As for whether they had enough nutrition or not, it was unknown. There was definitely no real material at home.
Jolene nodded, "Okay, black chicken soup, add a few more red dates."
"Ding." When the elevator reached the first floor, Nelissa and Jolene went out. She replied, "No problem. We'll go to the supermarket later. There seems to be no red dates at home."
He got in Jolene's car and went to school to pick up Noelle for Nathan as usual. Then he went to the supermarket to buy the necessary ingredients and went home.
Jolene broke out in a cold sweat and went back to his apartment to take a shower. Nelissa was busy in the kitchen. She put two boxes of milk straw into the kitchen for Noelle Nathan in advance, letting them drink and do their homework. They had to have dinner for a long time tonight.
After taking a shower, Jolene took a shower for Noelle. After taking a shower, Noelle finished his and his sister's homework in Nathan. After checking if there was anything wrong, he closed the notebook and put it into his little bag. Then, he took his blue pajamas and went to take a shower.
After taking a shower for Nathan, Nelissa finished preparing dinner tonight. The soup was still stewed in the kitchen and she could drink it after the meal.
After dinner, Nelissa wanted to go downstairs for Nathan. She didn't have time to accompany them tonight, so she gave up her pen and video to let them go to the small room to watch the cartoon.
"Mom is so nice!" Noelle's mouth was sweet. The brother and sister both liked to watch cartoons on the Internet, and Nelissa did not allow them to see more.
"Let's go." Touching her daughter's half-grown hair, Nelissa entered the kitchen and poured out the soup. She called Jolene over to drink and sat down beside her.
Jolene took a few sips and couldn't help but look at her. "Nelissa, why do I feel like you have nothing to do tonight?"
Nelissa forced a smile and said with a thin skin, "I went to the hospital at noon today."
Jolene was taken aback as he quickly asked, "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Nelissa shook her head. "It's not my problem. My mother was lying in the hospital unconscious."
"Ah?" Jolene jumped in fright. She had always thought that Nelissa's parents had passed away a long time ago...
Nelissa tried her best to tell Jolene everything she could say. As for the rest, it was better not to talk about her relationship with Edward and Zayden. It was too chaotic. In addition, Jolene was quick-witted, so she was worried that her father, who had been around for Nathan, would be found.
After listening to Nelissa's words, Jolene gulped down a few mouthfuls of soup to calm himself down. It took her quite some time to react. "No wonder when I first met you in Southville City, you didn't know anything. You could even boil a pot of water in the kitchen. I thought you were young and immature, but it turned out that you're a real noble daughter. You can't even touch the warm spring water with your fingers."
Thinking about it, Jolene felt that he had blamed her. Nelissa, such a delicate young lady, had been groomed into a young madam in her family. When Nelissa's mother woke up, she found out about her daughter's suffering and was about to die in pain.
