"I've always known, even my current position at the county clinic was recommended by Professor Smith. After that incident, although he didn't deliberately keep a distance from me, he wasn't as warm as before. I knew it was for my own good, so after leaving the hospital, I tried to keep some distance from him as much as possible." "But my respect for the professor and his care for me over the years, we both kept in our hearts. It's me who has caused his current predicament." The usually composed and calm woman completely crumbled at this moment. Perhaps Shawn didn't understand before, but at this moment, he fully understood everything about Ivy. Her restraint, her tenacity, and the warm heart beneath the cold exterior. Stability and aloofness were just her protective colors; deep down, she had a heart softer than anyone else's. Thinking about this, Shawn increased the strength of his embrace, truly wishing to embed her in his arms, to tell her right now that she didn't need to fear because she was Mrs. Tate, and she had DT Investments behind her. Seeing Ivy cry, Luke's heart was tugged. Luke initially wanted to speed up the car, but when a message popped up on the phone in front, he saw that the lawyer said Professor Smith was already in the hotel reuniting with his family. So he relaxed and slowed down the car. "Professor Smith is currently safe. The lawyer is questioning him about the real situation. We can go there later to let him settle down first." Assistant Luke said in a low voice, and Ivy's thoughts quickly regrouped. She slightly loosened her grip on Shawn, leaning her head on his shoulder instead. After roughly summarizing the clues, she said in a deep voice, "Roland mentioned before that City A First Hospital is complicated. He had reported Tanya before, but it ended up being his fault." Shawn gently played with her hand, silently signaling her to continue. "I always thought that Alter Group was behind Tanya, so she has been able to stay safe. But now, I feel it's not just that." "The internal factional struggles in City A First Hospital have always been intense. Although Alter Group is the largest shareholder, Bob Alter has always respected Professor Smith. When he knelt in front of Bob Alter back then, begging him to spare me, Bob Alter, who values talents, agreed to spare me. So, I firmly believe that the person who decided to use Professor Smith as a shield must not be Bob Alter." Shawn stopped playing with her hand abruptly and responded, "Although Alter Group is the largest shareholder, City A First Hospital has deteriorated over the years. Along with Alter Group facing financial crises, their influence and decision-making power in the hospital are practically nonexistent. Therefore, someone else must be helping her. Moreover, Tanya only started getting close to Alter Group these past few months. There must be others involved." As for these others, Shawn had already investigated, but at this moment, he hoped Professor Smith would personally tell Ivy. The car, steadily carrying Ivy and Shawn, stopped at the Garden Hotel, and the normally calm inner turmoil unexpectedly surged at this moment. Ivy quickened her pace, rushing towards the lower-level room. As the door opened, Professor Smith's much more haggard face instantly came into view. Ivy steadied her mind and entered the room with measured steps. "Professor, have you explained everything to the lawyer?" she asked Professor Smith in a low voice, glancing at his wife beside him and nodding to her. Professor Smith sighed at her words, "What's the use of explaining? This matter can't be resolved." The lawyer on the side also sighed, expressing his helplessness. Frowning, Ivy said, "Professor, if not for yourself, you should at least consider your children in England. They are also studying medicine. How will they cope when they return to our country in the future? Over the past three years, I have endured so much criticism because of that incident, and I believe you can see it too. If you insist on bearing all these things, then be prepared for your children to live their lives like me. Are you truly willing?" "But..." Professor Smith understood Ivy's words, yet when it came to speaking, he hesitated. In the end, he could only sigh in silence. Ivy, on the other hand, became calm. She sat next to Professor Smith's wife, comforting her as she cried softly, then said to the lawyer, "Lawyer Lux, since Professor Smith doesn't want to say anything, let's not bother. Please go back and report to Mr. Cato Alter. Tell him that we are very grateful for rescuing Professor Smith. Later, we will personally take him to turn himself in." Lawyer Lux was taken aback, silently looking at Shawn. Shawn nodded.Ivy turned to Professor’s wife. "Auntie, I heard that your children have already learned about professor's situation and are preparing to return but were stopped by him. Since Professor Smith is unwilling to say anything, sooner or later, they will have to face all of this, and their careers will be affected as well. Otherwise, let them come back. We can consult with a public relations company to discuss how to minimize the damage to them." Professor Smith couldn't help but sit up and listen. Ivy continued, "With their father in prison, it won't be easy for them to find jobs after graduation. I'll talk to our director and see if we can make an exception, allowing them to directly join the County Clinic after graduation. Although the clinic has nothing fancy, the key is that we are willing to accept talent. “County Clinic is good, and with the support of DT Investment, but those two brats have studied majors that don't match at all!" Professor Smith objected as soon as he heard about letting his children work at Ordinary Clinic. Indeed, County Clinic was good, but their majors didn't match at all. Forcing them to stay there would only delay each other. Thinking of this, Professor Smith shook his head. Ivy added, "Let Mr. Cato Alter invest a little more." Shawn raised an eyebrow. Although he knew the woman was joking, he seemed to have discovered the potential of a woman who could play the role of a bigshot's wife. Thinking of this, his thin lips slightly curled upwards, and he agreed, "Money is sufficient!" Seeing that his words were blocked, Professor Smith couldn't find a retort and simply sighed helplessly. "Professor, what is more important than the future of your children?" Ivy's piercing words made Professor Smith turn pale in an instant. After a long while, he sighed helplessly. "Well, I'll said it all," Professor Smith conceded. Lawyer Lux was delighted and quickly signaled his subordinates to prepare for a record and recording. In the quiet room, Professor Smith tightly held his wife's hand and slowly began, "In City A First Hospital, Tanya is just a lackey. As the power of the Alter Family declines, another faction has taken control. They don't really care about the hospital; instead, they hope to completely ruin it." "Who is he?" Ivy asked."His name is Charlie. If I haven't estimated wrong, Charlie has the backing of foreign forces, but on the surface, he represents the government. He flaunts his power in the name of the government and is the one who created Tanya." Behind Shawn, his assistant, Luke, frowned. "But the news says that Tanya has always been supported by the Alter Family." "It's just an illusion. In order to achieve his shady dealings, Charlie used his connections and resources to constantly emphasize the close connection between Tanya and the Alter Family. For Tanya, he was helping her marry into the Alter family, followed closely by her loyal repayment. She acted like his dog, swaggering around the hospital under his protection." "So..." Ivy suddenly understood, "they are doing everything they can to get you out of the hospital to prevent you from disrupting their plans, right?" Professor Smith closed his eyes and nodded helplessly. "Over the years, I have been the only one who can stop their rampant behavior in the hospital. With the death agreement with the hospital in hand, they couldn't dismiss me. But this time, they found an opportunity. People from the hospital began setting traps and inducing me to sign various agreements." "These agreements, each one aims to brand Professor Smith as a double-faced spy," Lawyer Lux solemnly stated, flipping through the police's copies of various evidence Professor Smith had signed at the hospital. ***
