Sweet Twins Indulge in Daddy's Love novel Chapter 307

"Honey, we just need to find Laura as soon as possible and get back the one million, right?" asked Jay, cocking his head slightly to the right.

"That's right. So hurry up! I feel like I'm gonna have a heart attack whenever I think of that one million dollars. Damn it! How dare she lie to me! Catch her and see how I'll punish her!" Doris gnashed her teeth in seething hatred and fury. Her fists clenched into tight grips that almost left nail marks on her palm.

"Don't you think it’s your fault?" Although he was so sure that would spike Doris' anger, Jay gambled and took the opportunity to teach her a lesson.

If he was to let this slide unnoticed, the silly woman might stir trouble for him in the future.

"I know I am wrong, okay? No need to rub it in my face."

"So, will you do that again?"

This time, humiliation hovered over Doris, who shook her head and muttered, "No."

As her lips curled into a pout, Jay couldn’t help flashing a smug smile at how cute his wife was. It was not every day that this feisty woman was reprimanded like a child, but this one was one for the books.

"Baby, be good with mommy, okay? Don't let her think too much.” He bent down and planted a soft kiss on her belly.

"What are you doing? You know the baby won't respond to that."

"I know, but I can't help it," Jay replied, landing a kiss on her baby bump again. Then he stood up and kissed her on the face before reminding, "Stay at home. Don't even think of going out."

"What? Where are you going?" Doris asked nervously with her head raised to better see his face. It was apparent that Jay was about to leave, and she started to get worried.

"I'm going to find Laura, and get the money back for you," answered Jay with a sigh.

"Oh, alright. But be careful!" Releasing her grip on his arm, Doris bit her lips in embarrassment.

"Well, don't worry. I'll be careful." With those words, Jay stormed out without looking back again.

Meanwhile, Doris was left alone, heaving a long sigh of relief. She internally swore to make Laura pay for deceiving her.

Then, as she cursed the cunning woman in her head, she remembered that Nancy left a message on WeChat. So she clicked on her phone and hurriedly replied, 'Yes, I just woke up!’

At this time, Nancy had just finished her breakfast and was preparing to go to work when her phone suddenly dinged for a notification.

After checking the message, Nancy shook her head in disbelief and uttered with a smile, "This girl is really crazy!"

"What's wrong?" Charles leaned over to see what it was about, but Nancy was quick enough to put her phone away.

"Hey! Don't peek at my messages! It's a secret," she answered with a grin, still hiding her phone from Charles' sight.

"A secret?" Although his tone was flattering, Charles was determined to get to the bottom of it.

"Yes, what's wrong?" Nancy arched her eyebrows and gazed at him with her innocent pair of eyes that could bewitch any man.

"Well...is it a man or a woman?" Charles grilled her with more questions, narrowing his eyes to better scrutinize the change of expression on her face. Then, boldly, he asked again, "Is it Ethan or Jerome?"

"Neither! And stop guessing! I'll go to work after resting for a while." Nancy withdrew her glance at him and turned off her phone.

Then, as if to add security to her messages, she buried the phone under the pillow.

Seeing this, Charles felt more and more uncomfortable, but he couldn't just snatch her it and turn it on without her permission. Nancy would definitely wreak havoc if he were to cross that line. So, as helpless as he was, he raised the corners of his mouth and lay down beside her unwillingly.

"What does it have to do with Director Nancy? She even had a row with Mr. Fu just because of you. It's not her fault! You did something wrong, but Director Nancy didn't want you to be punished for this matter. I think you should know it was she who begged Mr. Fu to let you stay. Don't listen to Anna's nonsense! She deliberately provoked you two! You are a smart person, Director Jessie, and I know you can see through it." With his hands hidden in the pockets of his medical scrubs, Hobart tried his best to stay patient. And although it was a struggle, he had to sound logical in reasoning with an adamant doctor like Jessie.

"Do you mean that Nancy doesn't want me to leave? But why? Doesn't she want me gone so she could dominate the entire Pediatric Department?" Jessie asked in a mixture of surprise and disbelief. In fact, she almost rose from the bed to better make sense of what Hobart had claimed.

"How could Director Nancy even think of scheming such a thing? The Pediatric Department is already crowded with so many patients, and work has been piling up. How could she ask you to leave in the middle of that? Is she trying to wear herself out by doing all the work?'¹ Hobart reasoned out again. He freed his hands and leaned on the edge of the bed to show his sincere concern. Then, with a heavy sigh, he continued, "She is not that stupid, isn't she?"

"Then why did Anna..."

"Mr. Fu fired her as soon as things were made clear. She has done many terrible things. If she were to stay here, you and Nancy will probably not be able to work peacefully. Well, that's all. Mr. Fu has asked me to reinstate you, but your bonus is deducted this year. After all, you, too, were at fault so you can't be free from any punishment, right?"

"President Hobart, does that mean I can come back to work now?" This time, Jessie sat up right away while her eyes glinted with so much excitement.

"Yes, Director Nancy was not here yesterday, Anna was fired, and on top of that, you were not here too, so only a few new doctors were able to man the Pediatric Department. The whole department is buzzing with so much work right now. So if you feel better, go to work as soon as possible!" Hobart said earnestly, now flashing a half-smile on his lips.

"Okay, President Hobart. I will go to work now!" Jessie fled from her bed and refreshed herself at once. In fact, she was not sick at all. Everything that happened was just mentally draining, and she needed a break from all of that. But now that the knot in her heart had been untied, she was more than ecstatic to put on her scrubs and work again.

"That's good. Nancy has gone to the outpatient department, so go and make the rounds!" Hobart uttered, much like giving Jessie her very first task again.

"Okay, got it!" The overtly excited Jessie even saluted at her boss, making the latter snort a chuckle.

"That's good! If you had thought of it that way sooner, you wouldn't have had so much trouble," Hobart said before walking out.

Then, as soon as she was left alone, Jessie immediately put on her working clothes and shoes and rushed to meet Nancy.
