Chapter 508: Chapter 510 I’m Not Taking Him With Me

Hearing Anna’s words, Patrick completely froze. He looked embarrassed, and he quickly defended himself by saying, “Sorry, but | don’t see any conflict between wearing earrings and being a doctor.’’

If this had happened a few years ago, Anna would have explained her reasoning and had a fight with him. However, Anna had grown much more composed over the years. Then she said flatly, “Nancy, choose one student for me, except him.”

“Mrs. Wright, you’re judging people by their appearance,” Patrick said to Anna as she left, “I don’t think I’ve done anything wrong,”

“Nancy, I’m leaving,” Ignoring Patrick, Anna said as she returned her gaze. Nancy, why did you compliment them? This student didn’t even read the manual! Anna thought.

“Anna, wait for me! You can’t do that. They’re students, and they don’t know the rules here. We’ve all been interns before, and we didn’t know anything either when we first got here.” Nancy followed Anna and said while gasping for breath.

“Stop it! Your intern wore an engagement ring to the operating room two days ago, and you scolded him all day. Why are you expecting me to be nice to him now?”

“That’s not the same thing.”

“Really? If he wears jewelry while performing surgery, who’s going to be responsible if he accidentally drops it in a patient’s stomach? Tell me, who is that Patrick?” Anna stood still and asked.

Nancy had no choice but to tell the truth, “Patrick is the nephew of 509 I’m Not Taking Him With Me our dean’s wife.”

“So?”

“The dean’s wife wanted you to be his supervisor.”

“No way,” Anna said flatly, not even thinking about it. Then she said to herself, Patrick reminded me of some of those idle rich young men | know. He might be smart, but training him will require much of my energy. Instead of going to this trouble, it would save me a lot more trouble to find a down-to-earth student. Even if] might not be able to train that student to be an expert talent, |

won’t be completely exhausted. Plus, | don’t think Patrick is fit to be a doctor.

Nancy winked and said, “Just do me a favor, okay? Please, Anna.

You’re the best!”

‘Since when did you start acting like this? You were never like this, before. You’ve they have connections. What makes you break your rule this time?” Frowning, Anna asked.

Smiling in embarrassment, Nancy scratched her brow and mumbled, “A few days ago, | went to the dean’s house for dinner with my father and got drunk. You know what III be like when I drink too much...”

So, you promised him to do it. right? No wonder... You’ve already caused so much trouble after you’re drunk before. Didn’t Joshua tell you to stop drinking?” Anna inquired, her voice strained.

“He was away on business that day.”

“You can sell your conscience, but you can’t sell mine.”

“The dean’s wife knows you have more experience in this field than | do, so she appointed you as his supervisor.” 509 I’m Not Taking Him With Me “If you’re still mad at me, you can punch me.”

Anna indeed wanted to beat Nancy up after hearing this. However, she couldn’t. Then, with a long sigh, she uttered, “Tell Joshua that Lemon is getting a 20% discount on his lawyer’s consultation fee this year.”

Une “No? If you can’t, then forget about the deal.”

Panicked, Nancy grabbed Anna’s arm and said in a pleading tone, “20% off itis! I’ll tell him as soon as | get home. Please be Patrick’s supervisor. Please...”

“Okay, it’s too late for you to go back on your word now,” Anna said as she took her cell phone from her white coat pocket and shook it.

“Huh? You recorded our conversation?! Damn! You really are a cunning businesswoman!” Nancy exclaimed.

“Don’t be silly, Nancy. Jasper’s wedding will be held on this weekend, and Joshua should be back by then. I’ll ask Andrew to bring the contract there. I’m going to see my patients. Bye,” Anna said proudly as she put her phone away.

“Anna!” Looking at her receding figure, Nancy shouted in frustration.

Meanwhile, Anna thought she made a good deal because all she had to do was supervise this double-maker. She would do her best to teach him, but it was up to him whether he would learn or not. If he still couldn’t meet the requirements, he wouldn’t be able to practice as a doctor. However, Anna could receive a 20% discount on the lawyer’s fee no matter what.

There was a chess board in the yard at the Wright house, and Peter 509 I’m Not Taking Him With Me was playing chess with Natalie. Then Henry and Wayne entered the yard.

“Madame asked when you and Matthew would be back this morning. | guess she really misses you,” Henry said to Wayne.

“Matthew didn’t come back with me,” Wayne explained. And when he saw Natalie in the yard, he asked, “When did she learn to play chess?”

“Natalie has grown up a lot and is very good at chess. Actually, she can even beat Peter once in a while.”

“Did Grandpa let her win on purpose?”

To Wayne’s puzzlement, Henry laughed but said nothing.

“It doesn’t count! Let’s start over, okay? | made the wrong move,” Natalie shouted as she realized she was going to lose. And her arm was about to move the board when Peter raised his hand and stopped it.

“Don’t backtrack now that you’ve made your decision. Natalie, you can’t give up when you think you’re going to lose,” he said.

“OK, don’t lecture me. If you keep nagging all the time, I’ll stop playing chess with you.”

“Have you really grown up, Natalie?” Wayne asked her from behind them.

Hearing that, Peter went completely still. At the same time, Natalie took advantage of the opportunity to rearrange two pieces.

She then exclaimed triumphantly, “Yeah! | won!”

“| never want to play chess with you again!” exclaimed Peter.

“It doesn’t matter! | won anyway.” Natalie proudly stood up and stretched, then turned to face Wayne, asking, “What do you mean by that, Wayne? What are you talking about?”

“Huh, so you’re still an immature kid. | overestimated you,” Wayne 509 I’m Not Taking Him With Me said as he swept the pieces off the board.

“What brings you here today, Wayne?” Peter cut into their conversation.

“I just got back from the South and came to see you and Mom,” Wayne explained.

“Is Anna here?” Peter asked, crossing his gaze over Wayne and looking behind him, “She’s working.”

“Then what about Matthew?”

“Matthew is still in the south.”

“Oh,” Peter nodded thoughtfully and asked again, “Where is Tammy?”

“Today is Wednesday, and she is at school.”

After mentioning all of the family members, Peter asked Wayne a bit impatiently, “So, what are you doing back here?”
