Ivy was stunned. Her mother was overjoyed and said, "Shawn has brought his medical records and our marriage certificate. We're already here; let's participate." "Mom…" Ivy wanted to advise her again, but she was outvoted, so she reluctantly agreed. "Miss, you can rest assured. Our company's boss had a severe illness ten years ago. To improve his health, he decided to give back to society by offering a luxury duplex in every property for a lottery." The female manager explained with a smile as she quickly took them to the lottery area. After completing the simple procedure, the manager handed the lottery box to Ivy and said solemnly, "One chance." Ivy nervously clasped her hands together, palms sweaty. "Why don't you do it instead?" she turned to Shawn. He raised his hands and said, "Do I look like a fortunate person in my current condition?" Ivy was speechless. "Stop being so negative." "I'm not being negative," he reassured her. "You've had good luck recently, so you represent our family and go for it." "That's right," Jasson and Mr. Luke said with expectant faces, looking at her with enthusiasm. Seeing that she couldn't get out of it, Ivy took a deep breath and finally put her hand into the lottery box. She hesitated, unable to decide which ball to pick for quite some time. Ten minutes passed, her hand still inside the lottery box, and the smiles on the faces of the others slowly faded as they became increasingly impatient. "Miss, the balls are all the same," the manager reminded with a smile, bringing Ivy back to reality. She closed her eyes deeply, clenched her teeth, and finally grabbed a ball and handed it to the manager. The manager smiled kindly and, under everyone's watchful gaze, opened the ball and took out the piece of paper inside. Ivy turned away, her heart racing, and her breathing unsteady."Congratulations, Miss and Sir, you've won the special prize!" The manager's cheerful voice rang out, and Emma and grandmother started cheering. Jasson and Mr. Luke were even more excited, hugging each other. Even though they knew it was a fake lottery, why were they so ecstatic! Ivy looked at the manager with disbelief as she received the special prize's red paper. She felt like she was in a dream and took a good while to come back to her senses. She burst into laughter, bent over to hug Shawn, and excitedly jumped on her toes. She was so happy, so happy. "Shawn, I won the lottery! The special prize! I won the luxury duplex you wanted last night! A 100,000-dollars-per-square-meter luxury duplex!" This was the first time Shawn had seen Ivy this happy. Her joy and excitement reached his heart through this hug. If he hadn't personally arranged this surprise lottery, he would have thought the carefree side of his wife was a dream. The deep gaze in his eyes took on a hint of indulgence. He lightly patted her back and signaled with his eyes for the people around them not to disturb them. Half an hour passed, and Jasson couldn't take it anymore. He cleared his throat and said, "Let's get the paperwork done." Please, there should be a limit to how excited you can get from winning a lottery, even if it's a fake one. Ivy finally snapped back to reality, scratching her head with embarrassment and quickly resuming her serious expression. "Manager, what do I need to do next?" With Shawn in her arms, the manager had already prepared all the documents. She smiled and reminded Ivy, "Could you please provide me with your ID card so that we can process the property certificate?" Ivy took out her ID card and also asked for Shawn's. "We want it to be jointly owned." Shawn's eyes revealed a hint of surprise, but he replied, "I don't need it." The entire Sunrise Mansion belonged to him, so adding his name didn't make sense. However, Ivy insisted and forcibly took his ID from his wallet to hand to the manager. The manager quickly copied the relevant documents and informed them that they could move in once the paperwork was complete, which would take about a month. Ivy still couldn't believe it when she returned home."You saved my life through surgery. This may be a reward from heaven for you," Shawn reassured her. In reality, this Sunrise Mansion was indeed a reward from Shawn to Ivy. Whether the surgery was successful or not, she deserved this. As for the property certificate, he had already given the instructions to leave his name out. It was meaningless. Although Ivy didn't quite agree with Shawn's words, she was a doctor, and saving lives was her responsibility. She shouldn't receive excessive rewards. She couldn't explain it at the moment, so she decided to accept it temporarily. "Well, I will work hard to become the Rising Star of Tomorrow and let the medical community see the benefits of County Clinic," Ivy said, and she immediately began filling out the required documents that evening. However, there were bound to be many obstacles on the way to securing the only position in the entire City A. This became evident with the first hurdle. The next morning, when Ivy arrived at the clinic, she was surprised to see a new clinic opening up across the street. It was the Potts Medical Clinic. The building opposite County Clinic had been vacant for many years, and they had only recently started renovating it. Ivy had been busy with Shawn's surgery and hadn't paid much attention. She never expected that it would turn out to be a clinic. A new clinic was great news, as it meant that the residents of prosperous County would have access to more medical resources. However, when Dr. Ticko entered her field of vision, the smile on Ivy's face instantly froze. "Hello, everyone. We are an affiliated clinic of the City A First Hospital, and we will have access to all the medical resources of the City A First Hospital. Their doctors will come here to work every week, all for the purpose of improving your well-being." Dr. Ticko finished his speech, and the staff pushed out a life-sized cardboard cutout of Dr. Tanya. She was dressed in a white coat, with her hands folded and an image of an elite doctor. Dr. Ticko cleared his throat and introduced her, "Dr. Tanya Potts, Chief Physician of City A First Hospital, an outstanding young doctor in City A. She is here to provide dedicated service to you." As Dr. Ticko finished speaking, the guests in the room applauded enthusiastically. They cheered and encouraged each other, expressing their happiness at the improvement in medical services for Prosperous County. However, Ivy couldn't hide her worries and anxieties. While she was genuinely happy when other people opened clinics, she sensed a conspiracy when Dr. Ticko did it. She believed he had a malicious intent and would harm more patients. "Dr. Jones, what should we do?" Alyssa deeply disliked Dr. Ticko for his past actions and behavior, and now that he was flaunting his presence here, she felt disheartened. "He's obviously trying to take our business!" Ivy didn't have a solution at the moment. While it was strange to think of competition for patients, the reality was that County Clinic was a private clinic, and without profitability, it was doomed to fail. In contrast, Potts Medical Clinic was different. It had the backing of City A First Hospital, a state-owned entity, and didn't have to worry about profitability. They had every reason to compete with County Clinic. "Let's take it step by step," Ivy said, signaling for Alyssa to follow her. "You and I will go to the inpatient department." "Dr. Jones told me that my condition is incurable. I'm thinking of going to Potts Medical Clinic across the street. Dr. Tanya is a Chief Physician at City A First Hospital. If she sees me, she'll definitely be able to cure me!" A patient suddenly shouted as he rushed out. The nurses couldn't stop him, and they had to chase after him. The patient was about to enter the elevator when he unexpectedly came face to face with Ivy. "Dr. Jones, why are you here?" The patient averted his gaze and replied nervously, "Dr. Jones, I don't doubt you, but there's a better doctor right in front of me. She's more skilled than you, and the medical facilities are more advanced. I have to give it a try. Please don't stop me; you can keep my body here, but not my heart." ***
